Fairly simple: add up all the points, whoever has the highest number is generating the most Threat, and enemies will attack them first if it's convenient. Consider basic attack radius, most enemies will go after whoever's closest. Threat should be recalculated on a round by round basis, though it's pretty easy to go by a few factors: who has done damage last and who has cast a spell last. Still, if one character has signficantly more threat than the rest, it will be the obvious target.

			You will notice basically everything in here is either a + or nothing. Each point in Special Proficiency, Stealth, reduces threat generated by 1 point.

			Threat generation, or hate, determines how enemies in the game respond to player characters in combat. It governs how they prioritize targets. The WorldShaper is encouraged to play very fast and loose with this system or to ignore it all together. But if you need a rule set, it works out like so.

			Threat is based around a point system. In simplest terms, the character with the most "points" is generating the most threat.

			==Sources of Threat==
			===Attack Value===
			For every 10 points of AV, a character earns 1 point of Threat, similar to attack dice. Note that characters can earn additional attack dice without increasing their AV. This is why.

			===Character Level===
			Every level adds 1 point of threat. If the entire party is the same level, this has little impact.

			===Weapon Size===
			Large weapons are much more threatening than small ones.

			<table border="1">
			<tr>
			<td>'''Size'''</td><td>'''Threat Modifier'''</td>
			</tr>

			<tr>
			<td>Small</td><td>-1</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td>Medium</td><td>+1</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td>Large</td><td>+4</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td>Vary Large</td><td>+10</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td>Immense</td><td>-5</td>
			</tr>
			</table>

			Why do Immense weapons actually reduce Threat? Because characters can't attack with them, units consider them less imposing.

			==Old==
	Threat determines which mobs attach which players. The player generating the most threat within a mob's Field of Vision will be the target of attacks. Whenever the mob is hit for damage, it will attempt to turn towards the source, if its struck again it will turn back.		Threat determines which mobs attach which players.

	Since there's a lot of math in here, the GM is encouraged to take some latitude. Feel free to use approximations or to just punish uppity players.

Feel free to use approximations or to just punish uppity players. There is no I in Team, but there is a meat, as in your are dead-meat if you don't play as a team. That being said, try to look at class roles and some basics. Rogues, for example, have threat-mitigating abilities.
