these are things that are not included in my version because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, are resources I'm not distributing, or so on. this includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't need to advocate for a different one

|
|
-Creating new character options is fun and easy. Just like any game, it's a good idea to take something and modify it
|
|
-first, or at least read around for the closest comparison.
|
|
-
|
|
-[Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) is an invaluable tool for creating new character options. When selecting an
|
|
-ability, it's a good idea to see how common it is. If an ability only exists in one [focus](#choose-focus), it might
|
|
-not be a good idea to combine it with other such abilities, since they were never intended for a PC to have both. Be
|
|
-fearless, but use your judgement.

|
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
|
|
-
|
|
-The section on [Customizing Descriptors](#customizing-descriptors) provides some guidance and a few recipes for
|
|
-descriptors. It's okay to be a little more adventurous, as descriptors like [Clumsy](#descriptor-clumsy),
|
|
-[Dishonorable](#descriptor-dishonorable), [Doomed](#descriptor-doomed).
|
|
-
|
|
-If you're interested in the idea of [Species as Descriptor](#species-as-descriptor), the
|
|
-[Mutant](#post-apocalyptic-species-mutant) descriptor also provides recipes using the [mutations](#mutations) tables you
|
|
-can employ.
|
|
-
|
|
-Alternatively, the [Modern Magic Descriptors](#modern-magic-descriptors) provide an interesting sort of
|
|
-mini-[flavor](#choose-flavor) with a selection of appropriate low-tier abilities taken as [abilities](#choose-type).

-
|
|
-In addition to the use of [flavor](#choose-flavor) to modify types, the section on [Further
|
|
-Customization](#further-customization) provides some guidance.
|
|
-
|
|
-The ability power grades described in [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) begin to explain why
|
|
-[Adepts](#type-adept) are assigned fewer new abilities each tier compared to other [types](#choose-type):
|
|
-
|
|
-- Adept abilities include more higher-tier abilities, and PCs can choose them at lower tiers.
|
|
-- Adepts favor [Intellect](#intellect)-based abilities that might be modified with initial
|
|
- costs, allowing them to be more creative with how they
|
|
- apply their abilities.
|
|
-
|
|
-Because of their limited ability choices, an [Adept](#type-adept) can't benefit as much choosing a [flavor](#choose)
|
|
-compared to an [Explorer](#type-explorer).

-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
|
|
-
|
|
-Since [flavors](#choose-flavor) can be chosen by any PC, it's best if their abilities stick to the power grades
|
|
-described in [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities). Be careful to preserve PC niches. For example, if a
|
|
-[type](#choose-type) or [focus](#choose-focus) assigns a unique ability at tier 3, it might be best if a flavor offers
|
|
-it at tier 4 instead.
|
|
-
|
|
-You might not even need to design an entire flavor, and prefer to use the optional rule for [Personal
|
|
-Flavor](#optional-rule-personal-flavor) instead.

-In addition to the sections on [Creating New Foci](#focus-creating-new-foci) and [Customizing
|
|
-Foci](#focus-customizing-foci) in [Chapter 8: Foci](#chapter-8-foci), this section provides observations about foci to
|
|
-consier when [creating new abilities](#creating-cyphers-artifacts-and-abilities):
|
|
-
|
|
-- Training in two [skills](#choose-skills)---other than attacks or defense---is a common form of low-tier ability.
|
|
-- Most foci start with two low-tier abilities at tier 1. A few start with one mid-tier ability.
|
|
-- Training in a [defense task](#defense-tasks) is a common low-tier ability.
|
|
-- If a focus is all about using a particular weapon, include a tier 1 ability that ensures the PC is practiced with
|
|
- those attacks.
|
|
-- Powerful foci frequently assign a single low-tier ability tier 2.
|
|
-- Training in an [attack](#action-attack) is a common mid-tier ability.
|
|
-- A low-tier ability assigned at tier 4 or tier 5 can balance things out.
|
|
-- Ensuring a PC is specialized in attacks is a common high-tier ability, but some PCs might become specialized earlier
|
|
- through a [type](#choose-type) or [flavor](#choose-flavor) ability, especially if the focus about using weaponry.
|
|
-- Tier 3 and tier 6 usually assign a choice between two abilities, but there are exceptions, like [Inks Spells on
|
|
- Skin](#focus-inks-spells-on-skin) and [Never Says Die](#focus-never-says-die).
|
|
-- Remember that PCs can gain both options of an [ability choice](#focus-choosing-foci) through [character
|
|
- advancement](#character-advancement).
|
|
-
|
|
-It can be fun to come up with four [focus connections](#focus-connections) for your new focus that address the setting,
|
|
-the other PCs, or whatever else is appropriate.
