- Select your Amber Homeland Keyword. All the skills and attributes related to that keyword are added to your sheet at the default Keyword rating of 17 and can (must) then be raised independently.
- Select your Occupation Keyword. All the skills and attributes related to that keyword are added to your sheet at the default Keyword rating of ?? (TBD) and can (must) then be raised independently.
- Pick 10 (15? TBD) 'freebie' abilities that (usually) default to ?? (TBD) (HQ p. 26) -- note that some Relationships Attributes will be higher than 13, since they are assumed to be 'part' of one of your Keywords.
