Gangland! - Hero Creation

In Gangland!, each player controls a Hero. This Hero is their in-game avatar, and is represented by a set of traits, attributes and skills that define how that Hero interacts with the City. Heroes are created using a pool of points to define their strengths and weaknesses. Heroes are built on 130 Character Points (CP).

Traits

There are 8 Traits in Gangland!. These Traits are divided into three categories, A, B and C. These categories determine the CP cost to improve them. The category A Traits are Knowledge, Presence and Essence. The category B Traits are Strength, Acuity and Fortitude. The category C Traits are Coordination and Quickness.

Trait levels are purchased incrementally, so to get a 10 requires first purchasing the 8.
