The Arctix system is based on the three predominant pillars used to facilitate gameplay: Archetypes, Traits, and Influence. Everything a player character can do is based on these three things. The system utilizes a set of 10 d10 polyhedral dice for randomization and rules adjudication.

Archetypes

All characters play as one of several archetypes: Medic, Charmer, Outlaw, Hunter, Fixer, or Merc. Each archetype offers specific advantages and disadvantages to gameplay.

Traits

Each character's skills and abilities are based on six different character traits: Aptitude, Charisma, Dexterity, Perception, Fortitude, and Strength. How well a character performs specific actions in-game are directly tied to these base stats, along with derivative skill stats.

Influence

Each character also has six influence styles to facilitate interaction with each other and with non-player characters. These styles are Psychological Influence, Social Influence, Economic Influence, Mystical Influence, Cultural Influence, and Force Influence.
