Special Points, Attributes, Magic/Resonance, Skills, and Resources can all be issued a priority value from A to E. No two columns can be issued the same priority value.

Special Points:

These are points that can be assigned to Magic, Resonance, or Edge. The maximum value for these attributes is 6, with the exception of Humans with a maximum Edge value of 7.

Attributes:

These are points that can only be spent into normal mental and physical attributes (BOD, AGI, REA, STR, WIL, LOG, INT, and CHA). These points must all be spent and cannot be spent on anything outside of those 8 attributes.

Magic or Resonance:

This determines starting magic or resonance for mages and technomancers. Characters that are neither of these should pick Priority E for this column.

Skills:

These are points that can be spent in skills. The numbers are points that can be spent on individual skills and points that can be spent on skill groups.

Resources:

This is the character’s starting money.
