As stated before, the system uses a simple roll-over d20 system using your attribute and skill ranks as direct bonuses to your roll.

Abilities are those that further define what your character is capable of doing better than everyone else. The list is a bit small but ample. In addition, these abilities can easily be expanded upon to add new castes and factions for designing unique character types.
