Every adventurer has attribute scores. So do you — real ones, and you have a body as well as a mind. This sheet gives you two branches: Physical (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution) and Cognitive (Input, Processing, Output). Each of those six splits into three constituent skills — eighteen in all. Rate each skill 1–20 and its parent category score builds itself from the three beneath it, because that's how real attributes actually work: no one is simply "strong," they are powerful, or enduring, or precise. And underneath every one of them, one engine turns.

The Engine — Prediction · Error · Correction

Truth

This is the primary problem-solving process, and it never stops turning — in the mind and in the body. You predict what will happen. Reality answers, and the gap between your prediction and what actually happened is the error — not a failure, but information. You use it to correct, and the next prediction gets better. Land the trick or miss it; ace the quiz or don't; either way the loop learns. Every skill on this sheet is a tool the engine uses, and every prediction you log below is one turn of the crank. Aim it at truth.

Physical 10 (+0) The body that carries you through the world. Three categories, each with three constituent skills: how much, how long, how well.
Cognitive 10 (+0) The mind that makes sense of it. Three phases of the loop in time — what comes in, what happens within, what you send forward — three neurological tools each.

Skill Checks

--
Tap any modifier — a category or a single skill — to roll a check.

    A check is d20 + your modifier. The d20 is the situation — some days are hard rolls, and that's not a verdict on you. The modifier is what practice builds. Only one of those two is yours to change, which is exactly where to put your effort.

    Quest Log — Skills in the Wild

    The game is practice for life. Each week, record one real moment where you caught yourself using one of these eighteen skills — or wishing you had. That noticing is metacognition itself, and it counts whether it happened at a desk or on a board.

    The Unification

    One die. Two faces. One apex. The mind's triangle and the body's triangle are not two systems — they are two sides of the same solid, printed on the same engine, and every edge they share is an edge they share. Wherever the die lands, both faces point to the same peak.

    These scores are self-reflections and informal exercises for learning — not normed or diagnostic instruments. The goal isn't a number; it's knowing yourself better than the number does.
