The following information should assist in moving characters from Deep7’s XPG™ games to Active Exploits Diceless Roleplaying.

Abilities
Stats in the XPG games must be converted to abilities. First determine the abilities to which stats correspond. If one is listed as non-existent, use your best judgement.

AE Ability XPG Stat 
fitness average of strength, dexterity, and agility 
awareness perception 
creativity non-existent 
reasoning intelligence 
influence perception 
special abilities most likely non-existent 


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

AE Flair XPG Stat 
fitness: muscle strength 
fitness: dexterity dexterity 
fitness: agility agility 


Next, consult the table below to determine the relevant ratings for each ability. The Discipline aspect is determined by the willpower stat and luck is determined by destiny.

XPG Rating Ability Special Ability Aspect

3-4 +1 +1 2
