These stats form the base for most bonuses added to your rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also includes space to record&nbsp;<strong>Total XP<\/strong>&nbsp;(also called experience points), total&nbsp;<strong>Trait Points<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Unspent Trait Points<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Proficiency Score<\/strong>.

This includes space to include&nbsp;<strong>Total HP<\/strong>&nbsp;(HP, also called hit points, is a number representing your health) and&nbsp;<strong>AC<\/strong>&nbsp;(AC, also called armor class, is a number representing your armor and your ability to avoid attacks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section also includes space to record&nbsp;<strong>Hit Dice<\/strong>&nbsp;(which is the die you use to determine your Hit Points). Finally, the&nbsp;<strong>Current HP<\/strong>&nbsp;spot can be used to record your current Hit Points, especially when you are below your full health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-4-saves\">Section 4: Saves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section has space for recording your saves,&nbsp;<strong>Fortitude<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Reflex<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Will<\/strong>.

Being trained in a skill, often from the&nbsp;Skill Training Trait, means you add your Proficiency Score to the bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">sNote, there are some skill actions that require you to be Trained in that skill to attempt the action and others that give disadvantage if you are not Trained in the skill, see the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homebrewery.naturalcrit.com\/share\/ByWUVqRDCr\">Skills Section<\/a>&nbsp;for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-6-miscellaneous\">Section 6: Miscellaneous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section is a space to note your&nbsp;<strong>Initiative<\/strong>&nbsp;(your bonus to reaction to damage),&nbsp;<strong>Speed<\/strong>&nbsp;(how far you move in a single action, measured in feet),&nbsp;<strong>Passive Perception<\/strong>&nbsp;(your ability to notice details around you while not actively looking) and&nbsp;<strong>Charm<\/strong>&nbsp;(your physical appearance).

Conditions are often temporary and can either be beneficial or detrimental. Immunities are those effects that never impact you, often they are types of tags, such as mental, death, or fire. Resistances and weaknesses also use effect tags like immunities do. However resistances use values, for example, if you are resistant 5 against fire, remove the first 5 points of damage that has a fire tag. On the other hand, if you are weak against cold, you take double damage from effects with the cold tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/Page-3.2.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/701\/2021\/02\/3rd-Page-2.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-10-equipment\">Section 10: Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section gives an area to list your items and their weight, called bulk in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/theforgesystem\/equipment\/\">Equipment Section<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-11-spells\">Section 11: Spells (Fantasy Version ONLY)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This space is for your&nbsp;<strong>spells<\/strong>.
