Player Character

1. Character Info

   • This is where you will find your character’s basic information such as their name, species, and culture.

2. Health Level and Shield Charges

   • This is to track your health levels (current and max) and shield levels.

3. Conditions 

   • These hearts signify conditions on your character. The + sign hearts are positive conditions, and the - sign hearts are negative. The smaller hearts can be toggled for minor conditions on individual skills, the medium ones mark moderate conditions that affect an entire skill category, and the large hearts are for significant conditions which affect the character as a whole. 

4. Movement Speed

   • Shows how many squares you are able to move on a turn. The default is that every square is 5 feet.

5. Nova Points and Dice Used

   • Keep track of which dice you’ve used so you can gain Nova points. The Available Dice tracker tracks the dice you've used towards your next Nova point. This is not an automatic feature, so be sure to tick it when you roll! Every time you use one of each die, you gain a Nova point. When you perform a Nova ability, you lose a Nova point.

6. Initiative 

   • “During combat, you and your teammates coordinate an attack. Tick this box to indicate it’s your turn!”  

7. Skills

   • There are three categories of skill types: Mental, Physical, and Social. Each category has a list of skills that will have their own designated die to roll. Skills determine which actions you can make and how skilled you are at performing them. Reminder: in order to gain Nova points, you need to use one of each die size, so you don’t always want to choose your highest ranked skill. You can use the pencil icon to edit the dice size for each skill.
