Character Creation Rules in Four Reps.
Read these first. They explain what your build choices actually do before anything hits the sheet, so by the time you start typing your character is flexing on purpose.
01Step
Choose a Starting Discipline
Your first class choice is mechanical, not cosmetic. A balanced Muscle Wizard begins with both sides available, while the specialist paths start with a harder training split and lock the other side out during character creation.
Core rule
Muscle Wizard begins with both columns available. True Muscle begins with MUSCLE only. True Wizard begins with WIZARD only.
02Step
Name the Words of Power
Each letter should define a repeatable lane of action, not a one-scene gimmick. You can use a Word of Power whenever you can honestly justify it to the Gains Master, and extra relevant words matter because they widen your EXPLODING! range before the bonus-die chain even starts. Think less one-liner, more reliable spotter.
Core rule
MUSCLE meanings are non-magical. WIZARD meanings are magical. Keep each one distinct, playable, and broad enough to come up more than once.
03Step
Understand the Dice and Injury
The die beside each letter measures that ability's current strength. When you roll the highest result, you EXPLODE! and roll a die one size higher, so your starting build shapes both your floor and your ceiling. Damage comes off abilities directly: if a Word of Power drops below d4 it becomes Injured and goes offline, and if that same Injured word takes damage again, your swolecery goes lights-out.
Core rule
Muscle Wizard starts both sides at d4. True Muscle and True Wizard start their active side at d6. Bigger dice lower fumble risk, and Injured Words stay unusable until they are healed.
04Step
Decide What Counts as Gear
Items are rules-facing tools found in play or created with GM approval. They usually give either an extra die on relevant rolls or a flat bonus, and what turns up can be mundane gear, magical gear, or occasionally cursed gym junk if the roll goes sideways.
Core rule
Use the backpack for approved starting gear and later finds. Gear can be chosen directly or generated from the item rules, then recorded with its die or flat bonus, gold value, and a short effect.
