''Tags'' are the things that make a character unique under the Ad20r ruleset. They're what separates ''you'' from the 300 other human nonspecialist Wizards at your academy - and what separates any one of them the GM deigns to give Tags to from everyone else.

* Arcane: The magical auras inherent to the world grant you or curse you with this. | * Arcane: The magical auras inherent to the world grant you or curse you with this. | ||

| - | Once you have taken a tag and named its source, you should take time to refine specifics of how it works - most likely, this will involve taking one or more Modifiers for a tag, which enhance or weaken a tag in some way. If a tag doesn't have a Modifier quite like what you're looking for, then ask the GM to Rule Zero one that suits in. | + | Once you have taken a tag and named its source, you should take time to refine specifics of how it works - most likely, this will involve taking one or more Modifiers for a tag, which enhance or weaken a tag in some way.

| + | A tag, after all modifiers are applied, should ''never'' be free or end up giving you value the opposite of it's norm. That is, a Buff should never give you character points, and Nerf should never cost you character points. If it is, you need to remove or add modifiers until it isn't. Certain tags, in their text, will state that they can ignore this limitation, and Mixed Tags can go either way. | ||
