Points for increasing or decreasing the value of a job or gig's perks or attributes. Since most skills are tied to an attribute or perk, they will scale in power with the attribute.
Attribute point allocation is not a permanent decision. Allocate them freely, playtest your build, then return to a safe zone to finetune until you are happy. Or try something completely different every time!
You begin with 30 points. Points can be spent to raise attributes and perks to a value between 1 and 16, though keywords and equipment modifications can extend them to 0 to an uncapped integer ceiling.
Switching jobs or gigs will refund all the points spent on the old attributes.
