Attributes

Attributes are the innate traits of a character. Different races have different maximums, affecting the games. Attributes are increased by spending Karma. Raising an attribute from a value x to (x+1) will cost (x+1) Karma. E.g., raising an attribute from 2 to 3 will cost 3 Karma. Using the same example, raising an attribute from 0 to 3 will cost (1+2+3) = 6 Karma.
