🟪 Overview

The four Attributes (Vitality, Arcana, Leadership and Evasion) represent your viking’s capabilities and resources. They are spent to activate different Abilities and Effects, and may only be replenished during The Feast .

All Attributes start at 0. Players select a Primary Attribute during character creation, which sets it to 3. The maximum value for any Attribute is 5. Attributes cannot go below 0.

Vitality

You may spend Vitality to call “Crunch” against an Effect that deals damage or causes an Injury, ignoring the Effect. Items and Effects may grant additional uses of Crunch.

Arcana

You may spend a point of Arcana in order to do either of the following:

Replace the element called in an effect you produce with “Arcane”. An effect using the Arcane Element cannot be resisted except through spending an Arcana or with other specific rare defenses. If the effect produced normally has a Will or Vitality cost, this expended point of Arcane pays the cost instead.
Resist an effect that uses any Element, including Arcane, but not ‘Sneaky’ or ‘Perfect’. Call “Arcana”.

Leadership

You may spend a point of Leadership to call “Whoosh!” against an Insight Effect to ignore the Effect. It is obvious that the user gave a diplomatic response to the Insight Effect.

Additionally, you may spend a point of Leadership in order to Aim deliver one of these 3 Command Effects:

“I Command you to fight me”
“I Command you to retreat”
“I Command you to be calm”

Evasion

You may spend a point of Evasion in order to resist any effect which doesn’t use the Arcane or Perfect Element. Call “Whoosh!”.
