Stats Stamina is set by your Archetype. For the remaining six stats you can assign 71 points as you see fit. A solid standard array (that adds to 71) is 16, 14, 13, 12, 9 & 7. Ensure no stat is lower than 5 or greater than 16.

Pick an Archetype Your archetype determines how many recipes you can know, what dangers you are best at resisting, your stamina, movement and what pets/bots you can have.

(optional) Pick Diplomatic Keywords During the NPC interaction parts of the game, different NPCs will treat you differently based on your social class, methods of persuasion and other factors. (See p44)
