• Characteristic Icons

Items in this block are in rectangular containers. Skills have a semicircle on the top right and bottom left corner. Talents have a thickened (bold) top line. Numbers are in the form of cost(roll) where applicable.

Skill levels are denoted by filling the container: Familiarity = white fills, Proficiency = left semicircle black filled, Competent = rectangle black filled (inverse text), Skilled = right semicircle black filled, Very Skilled = as Proficient+Skilled, Highly Skilled = as Proficient+Competent, Extremely Skilled = Competent+Skilled , Incredibly Skilled = all filled with inverse text. Skill levels in between can be shown with a half fill to the next level.

Skills include the icon of the characteristic they are derived from.

Items in this block are in tablet containers (rectangles with circular ends). Advantages are in circles. Disadvantages are in triangles. The strength of a power, advantage or disadvantage is denoted with either dice symbols (and/or numbers) or multiple copies. Numbers are in the form of cost(roll) where applicable. Endurance use is represented with stylised drops of water (ie black teardrops) using base 5 (ie a different symbol, say a white filled teardrop could represent 5 End)

If you decide to put everything inside a tablet container (the power icons and advantages/disads) you will end up with something similar to an ancient Egyptian name in style - a cartouche.

• Power Icons
• Advantages Icons
• Limitations Icons

Frameworks are larger containers surrounding the powers within them. A multipower is a simple box. A variable power pool is a double border box that should contain enough space for any additions of powers currently in the pool.

• Fixed slots in a multipower are represented by the power container being thicker (bold).
• Variable slots are regular power containers..

Items in this block do not have containers and therefore no set outline. The frequency of the complication is denoted by repeating the symbol (taking up more space that way and being more important). Numbers are in the form of cost(roll) where applicable.

• Frequency
  • Uncommon/Infrequently = one symbol,Common/Frequently = two symbols,Very Common/Very Frequently = three symbols, Extremely Common/All The time = four symbols

• Complications Icons

In keeping with the D6 aesthetic of the rule system, numbers may be expressed in dice icons in base 10 positions. Vertically placed dice to represent numbers higher than 6 should be a different colour (e.g. black).
