Many personnel aboard Deep Space 4 have certain advantages over other beings. This may be a racial trait, or circumstances of their upbringing or training, or simply a higher rank among an organization.

Each of the Advantages listed below have a cost in Development Points. After character creation, buying a new advantage (or improving an existing one) costs 4 times this value in Experience Points.

Some Advantages can only be acquired during character creation; these usually represent racial traits, innate abilities, or birth circumstances. These Advantages are listed separately. (Note that there are exceptions to this rule; for example, Geordi LaForge's VISOR implant grants him the Enhanced Vision ability.)
