After you're finished making a new character, feel free to PM Talvieno on Discord with it. If you have any questions that we haven't answered, just ask them in #rekt-general. We're a friendly bunch, and someone will be more than happy to help you out.
If you're feeling a little lost, there's a brand-new quickstart guide intended to help get your character's backstory started in a hurry.
How it works:
Every additional point in an attribute costs the number of points equal to that attribute's new level.
It's wise to strike a balance between hardcore specialization and buffet-table "a little bit of everything".
A good rule of thumb is not to raise things past +4 unless you really know what you're doing.
