'''Aptitudes''' are a score all [[characters]] have in the Tarnished Tale system. They represent the realized potential a character had in seven areas of capability at the time of character creation. The Aptitudes a character possessed remain available as "brute skills" and inform various other properties the character has.

The Seven Aptitudes are, briefly:
* [[Strength]], representing raw physical strength;
* [[Agility]], representing finesse and fine motor control;
* [[Hardiness]], representing ''physical'' endurance and capacity;
* [[Analysis]], representing the mental capacity for study, inspection, inference, and the general application of "hard" logic;
* [[Presence]], representing the mental capacity for "taking up" social space;
* [[Intuition]], representing the mental capacity for leaps of logic, emotional intelligence, hunches, and the appearance of wisdom, and;
* [[Willpower]], representing the mental capacity for emotional stability, endurance, and tolerance.

Each aptitude has two values: its actual value (called the Aptitude Score), and that value multiplied by 5 (called the Aptitude Check). This is to facilitate the use of aptitudes in [[checks]].
