1. Basic info

Each character has 5 attributes that describe their physical abilities and limitations.

Strength	The weight of gear a character can carry. If it drops to 0, the character can't take actions.
Dexterity	Defense modifier. If it drops to 0, the character can't move.
Constitution	Health points, every time the character's HP drops to 0 but the character is healed, their constitution drops by 1. If Constitution drops to 0, the character dies.
Perception	Initiative modifier. If it drops to 0, the character is blind.
Mind	Influences effectiveness of some gear such as how many charges of medkits character can use during their turn. If it drops to 0, the character is confused and can't use or benefit from their abilities.

To determine the starting value of one's attributes, one can either roll the d6 dice 5 times, each time halving the score and rounding it up, and then assign the scores to the attributes or go with the predetermined values of 3, 3, 2, 2, 1.
Whichever method is chosen, all players receive 3 additional points which they can add however they choose.
