Attributes in Underspire, alongside Skills, are the two most important defining features of a character's capabilities.
Your level in a an attribute is indicated by its alphabetical level, with A being the highest and U being the lowest. Under the hood, this translates to a 1-100 range.
In addition to being used for skill checks, some attributes have effects on their own. Physique will help you carry heavier gear, Intellect gives you a sharper memory, Perception will let you hear and see things others might not, and so on.
* **Physique (PHY):** Strength, muscle, and how much damage you can take.
* **Reflex (REF):** How fast you react and how nimble you are.
* **Perception (PER):** How alert you are and how much you notice, down to the small details.
* **Intellect (INT):** Reasoning, memory, and technical knowledge. Together with Presence, it sets how much room you have to improve your skills.
* **Presence (PRE):** Personality, charm, and composure under pressure. Together with Intellect, it sets how much room you have to improve your skills.
* **Finesse (FIN):** Precision, steady hands, and hand-eye coordination.
