Description

From page 2 (Capitalization is original):
EPIPHANY IS A REWRITE OF A STORYTELLING SYSTEM I DID MANY YEARS AGO, ABOUT THE MYTHICAL LAND OF HYPERBOREA. SPOKEN OF BY THE GREEKS IN THE SAME WAY THEY TALKED ABOUT ATLANTIS, IT WAS A LAND OF PEACE AND PLENTY, FURTHER NORTH THAN THE NORTH WIND, YET ETERNALLY LIT AND WARM.
BUT MUCH AS THE GREEK POETS AND PHILOSOPHERS WHO SPOKE OF IT LIVED A LIFE SUPPORTED BY THE EFFORTS OF SLAVES AND PEASANTS, THE EXPLORERS AND NOBLES AND SORCERORS AND PRIESTS OF HYPERBOREA ALSO BUILD THEIR WORKS ON A LOWER STATUS FOUNDATION.

User Description:
An interesting allocation of points causing various abilities to be generated formulaically.
Also, the system uses roll ability d6, keep status of them, counting successes - kept rolls of 3 & 4 each generate 1 success, 5 and 6 generate 2 successes each.
