Attributes. Bigger is better.
DoC has 9 attributes that define the physical and mental capabilities of your character and all of them are great. You find your typical strength, vitality, speed but also reaction and memory.
Attributes do not only give you dice for your tests but define what your character can do. As DoC deals with superhuman capabilities your attributes can get bonkers. Jump four floors up? Punch trough a wall? Dodge like Neo? Get an IQ over 200? With your attributes high enough all of this is possible.
You just have to make a choice.
For more information and all the numbers have a look in the Core Rules.
All the skill.
Attributes are only the beginning. If you want to get the best out of your combat actions and your general tests you need to invest into skills. The higher your skill level the more dice you have for your tests. DoC has 24 skills which allow you to master punching, shooting, hacking, driving, diving, singing, dodging….. and so on.
And the best of it? You can learn them all!
DoC is a classless system where you can combine any skills you want. A close up brawler with great rhetoric skills and a deep understanding of human emotions? Go for it. A good doctor who can take people apart with a knife as well as they can stitch them together? Sure. A smarty pants girl with several degrees and a giant ass sniper rifle? Coming right up.
For a list of all skills and what they do jump right into the Core Rules.
