Attribute Bonus Chart

Attributes (IQ,ME,MA,PS,PP,PE,PB,Spd)

Your character's attributes tell you about them at first glance. They could be an average Joe, a mentally-lacking brute, or a genius in a wheelchair that wins beauty contests.

  • I.Q.: stands for Intelligent Quotient and tells you how smart your character is.
  • M.E.: stands for Mental Endurance and tells you how well your character holds up under pressure.
  • M.A.: stands for Mental Endurance and tells you
  • P.S.: stands for Physical Strength and tells you how strong your character is. This can be enhanced in the following ways:
    Normal Strength:
    Just like you and me, good old regular human strength at Earth Gravity
    Strong Strength:
    Your character is a body builder
    Extraordinary Strength:
    Your character has been empowered and is stronger than the strongest man on earth.
    Robotic Strength:
    Gears and servos can do a lot. Your character has the strength of a machine.
    Super Human Strength:
    Your character is on par with Superman. There are very few beings who can best your character in a contest.
    Super Natural Strength:
    The cosmos has blessed your character. He or she is the strongest of the strong.
  • P.P.: stands for Physical Prowess and tells you how agile your character is (think Parkour or Gymnastics).
  • P.E.: stands for Physical Endurance and tells you
  • P.B.: stands for Physical Beauty and tells you
  • Spd.: stands for Speed and tells you how fast your character can run.
