In this world, Humans are Humans, and this is how they are measured.
Ability Score Metrics
0 = Untrained, average person.
1-2 = A person who often uses this ability in their everyday life.
(A person who has a hobby of reading books may have 1 or 2 INT.)
3-4 = A person who has training in said ability.
(An Apprentice Tracker may have 4 AWA for example. Other examples include a typical Guard having 4 FGT.)
5-6 = A person who has finalized their training in said ability.
(A normal Tracker would have 6 AWA, or a Lorekeeper would have 6 INT typically.)
7-8 = A master at that ability.
(A master thief might have a 8 in AGI.)
These stats can be modified by enhancing abilities (like self buffing) or by Gear and Equipment.
