Attribute Colors are things such as eye color ranges, hair (or fur or feather) color, skin (or scale) color, and anything else that can be colored on the physical body (perhaps even blood or organ colors). For example, humans could have brown, black, or even red hair but they would never naturally have purple and green hair. Alternatively, a frog might have green scales or even bright orange and purple. Setting these limitations helps make races unique. Perhaps allowing for albino or other such variations or races could add unique flavors to rare or ancient types of creatures. Also consider color patterns that might exist for a race (a zebra has zebra-stripe patterns).

Attribute Shapes consider small parts of bodies that could have a range of shapes or sizes. This may even affect a races sense range. For example, humans and elves are both humanoid but elves have pointy ears while humans have round ears. Physically, other than attribute color, that is often the only differences that can be seen but makes a tremendous difference. This can also include what kind of wings a creature has (feathered angel wings, or webbed bat-like wings) or its tail (pointy devil’s tail, monkey tail, or slender reptile tail). The shape and size of eyes are determined here as well (slit eyes, round eyes, triangular eyes, many eyes, one eye, etc.). What kind of nose does a creature have? Is it a snout or is it more human or is it more pig or even a trunk like an elephant to grab with? Does the creature have lips or a bill? Is the tongue like humans or is forked like snakes? The list goes on but what is important is that these are determined here.

Vision is the sense based on eyesight and details how clearly you can see while Engaged In Combat. The Field of View is determined by the level of vision which dictates the characters View of Attack and is defined as how far the character can see out of the corner of their eyes to the left and right. The Visual Distance is how far the character can see directly in front of them while under distress.

Minor Vision: The lowest level of vision is minor and can be compared to certain reptiles such as snakes. Their field of view is only a 10 foot wide cone and the distance is only 20 feet.

Lesser Vision: Their field of view is only a 15 foot wide cone with a distance of 25 feet.

Medium Vision: This level of vision is the most common and is comparable to human eyesight. The field of view is a 20 foot wide cone with a distance of 30 feet.

Greater Vision: With a greater field of vision the creature’s eyesight becomes more comparable to bees and other insects. The distance at which they can see also increases to 40 feet with a field of view that is a 30 foot cone.

Major Vision: As vision reaches the major level their eyesight becomes comparable to that of hawks. The field of view increases to a 40 foot cone with a distance of 50 feet of vision.

Special Conditions: Blind is a condition that makes the creature of no vision at all but instead they increase the sensitivity of one other chosen sense by ten and can additionally have Blind Sense. Low Light Vision allows the creature to see up to their maximum visual range in low light settings. Dark Vision allows the creature to see up to their maximum visual range in dark light settings. Ultra Vision allows the creature to see into the Ultra-Violet light spectrum. Thermal Vision is a condition that causes the creature to not see colors and instead only heat granting them a infrared vision that is blind to cold.

Hearing is the sense based off of sound-wave detection while Engaged In Combat. Some creatures have better hearing than others and are able to detect higher and lower pitches than others. As the ranges increase, the creature’s sensitivity to sound also increases. To keep it simple, hertz ranges have been changed to ranges of Infrasonoic (very low pitches sounds), Sonic (regular hearing range of humans), and Ultrasonic (very high pitched sounds such as dog whistles). The distance a creature can hear is also extremely simplified and based off of if the sound is Low (Whisper), Regular, and Loud (Scream).

Minor Hearing: The lowest level of sound can only hear loud sounds from 5 feet away, regular sounds from 20 feet away, and loud sounds from 50 feet away and only hear in Sonic.

Lesser Hearing: Creatures with lesser hearing can only hear low sounds from 10 feet away, regular sounds from 25 feet away, and loud sounds from 55 feet away and only hear in Sonic.

Medium Hearing: Creatures with medium hearing can hear low sounds from 15 feet away, regular sounds from 30 feet away, and loud sounds from 60 feet away and only hear in Sonic.

Greater Hearing: Creatures with greater hearing can hear low sounds from 20 feet away, regular sounds from 35 feet away, and loud sounds from 65 feet away and can hear in Sonic and Ultrasonic.

Major Hearing: Creatures with major hearing can hear lows sounds from 25 feet away, regular sounds from 40 feet away, and loud sounds from 70 feet away and can hear in Infrasonic, Sonic, and Ultrasonic.

Special Conditions: Deaf is a condition that makes the creature unable to hear any sound and provides a plus ten to any one other chosen sense. Echo Location is a condition that allows a creature to “see” using sound and their visual distance is replaced by their hearing distances.

Smell is the sense based on detecting odors using a nose or equivalent while Engaged In Combat. The amount of odors (and how pungent they are) will be determined as a Weak amount, Medium amount, and Strong amount. Those with a high smelling range can detect and determine more odors which also make them more sensitive to smells. As the sense of smell becomes stronger, so does the distance at which odors can be detected depending on how strong a smell is, similar to how sounds work.

Minor Smelling: The lowest level of smell can only detect weak odors from 5 feet away, medium odors from 20 feet away, and strong odors from 50 feet away.

Lesser Smelling: Creatures with lesser smelling can only detect weak odors from 10 feet away, medium odors from 25 feet away, and strong odors from 55 feet away.

Medium Smelling: Creatures with medium smelling can smell weak odors from 15 feet away, medium odors from 30 feet away, and strong odors from 60 feet away.

Greater Smelling: Creatures with greater smelling can detect weak odors from 20 feet away, medium odors from 35 feet away, and strong odors from 65 feet away.

Major Smelling: Creatures with major smelling can detect weak odors from 25 feet away, medium odors from 40 feet away, and strong odors from 70 feet away.

Special Conditions: Scentless is a condition that makes the creature unable to detect any odors and provides a plus ten to any one other chosen sense. Scent is a condition that allows a creature to “see” by detecting odors and their visual distance is replaced by their smelling distances.

Special Senses are other senses accessible with special organs or altered organs that have special properties.

Antenna provide creatures with special feeling senses that pick up the environment around them be either smelling, feeling, or detecting air movements and this provides a type of 360 smelling range via scent that allows them to continually be spatially aware making them unable to be flanked. They also have a +10 to their Perception (Smell) and +10 to their Insight for noticing unusual spaces or environments, making them able to respond faster than other creatures to environmental changes.

Color-Blind is a condition that decreases one chosen color spectrum by one (such as R-G-B becomes just R-B or any other chosen pattern).

Many Eyed provides the creature with multiple eyes that give them 360 viewing range allowing them to have all a visual range that is circular around them and a field of view that extends in all directions from them and not just in front of them. This also makes them unable to be flanked (unless they are made blind) and have a +10 to their Perception (Visual).

Slit Eyes is a condition that increases the field of view by five feet (this condition cannot be chosen by creatures that do not normally have it, such as humans).
