Questions regarding PCs and Enemies

Hello, 

I am curious about how you determine the scores for PC attributes. How do players determine if they have a 3 for their Force? I don't need a lot of hand-holding, but I can't find any guidance on that aspect. 

Second, when a GM activates an enemy, do they roll or is this similar to PbtA games where the GM Moves just happen. I assume this is the case, but since they get a Turn I was not sure. 

For reference, I'm interested in making a GM less co-op Loot & Shoot about discovery and badassery, so finding your system is amazing. Especially since many games with resolution granularity tend too much to the success with complication, but LUMEN seems to avoid that with your mechanic. Really ingenious stuff. 

Thanks in advance for your time!

1. PCs set those scores during character creation. Usually they stay with 1 in each, and then have a certain number of points to increase them. 

2. Enemies are activated during the GMs Turn. They don't roll, though. They just activate their abilities. 

Hope that helps!

Yes thanks very much!
