Talents are non combat abilities characters learn through various vocational trees. Skills are craftsmanship practices learned from various professions, or even hobbies. Attributes are the innate predispositions characters are born with that allow them to perform certain cognitive and physical tasks outside of combat. Starting with their chosen race and class, players will determine which attributes their characters are strong and weak in, or if they'll play a more balanced role.
Attributes also serve as prerequisites for various elements in the game. The six attributes; physique, fortitude, artistry, intelligence, wisdom and perception determine how strong a character is in a variety of areas, including; abilities, talents, skills and traits.
Players have the freedom to allocate points according to their preferences. These points can enhance athletic or cognitive talents, attack and defense abilities such as evasion, traits like strength and agility, allowing for a customized character build.

The movement system in SorC revolves around character actions, stamina, and terrain, impacting tactical decisions. Each combat turn is 6 seconds, costing stamina points (SP) per second of activity, with specific costs for different movement types and terrain conditions. Characters have a race-based base speed (Goliath: 40 ft, Standard: 30 ft, Small: 25 ft), which serves as a benchmark for movement calculations.
