The following information should assist in moving characters from BTRC’s EABA™ System to Active Exploits Diceless Roleplaying. EABA is BTRC’s open roleplaying system which uses multiple six sided dice.

Abilities
Attributes in EABA must be converted to abilities. First determine the abilities to which attributes correspond. If one is listed as non-existent, use your best judgement.

AE Ability		EABA Attribute
fitness		average of strength & agility
awareness		awareness*
creativity		non-existent
reasoning		awareness*
influence		will
special abilities		fate

* The total converted rating may be distributed between awareness and reasoning.

Some flairs may also be applied at the director’s discretion.

AE Flair		EABA Attribute

Next, consult the table below to determine the relevant ratings for each ability. The Discipline aspect is determined by the health attribute.
