We are now entering the world of attributes that no one thinks about much.  For most gamers, DEX/STR/BODY is pretty much all there is and all that there ever will be.  However, we have yet to think about Intelligence as a game mechanic. In a well-balanced game, players should get some kind of reward for how smart they are.  It should be an award that's beyond, "oh, you get to create all of these great gadgets".  Part of the problem with dealing with INT is the same problem that humans have with the idea of the Singlularity - how do you recreate the actions of someone who is smarter than you are , since you don't have the intelligence yourself to understand how Lex Luthor would plot or scheme? Here are the benchmarks for Intelligence, the Active Value (AV) of any action taken with the brain. Benchmarks 1-2.   The person has the problem-solving abilities of the average high school graduate. 3-4.   This individual is the equivalent of a particularly b...

Formerly Phantom, now Wraith.  BG, I will need some info filled in about her Cadre # and her list of friends in the Cadre.  They will undoubtedly be High Connections for at least a while after graduation. Tiffany Blum-Deckler (aka Wraith, Phantom) DEX: 6  STR: 2  BODY: 2 INT: 2 WILL: 12  MIND: 9 INF: 7 AURA: 7 SPIRIT: 6 --------------------------- INIT: 15  HERO POINTS: Motivation :  Upholding the Good Wealth :  3 (from stipend, reduced) Powers Dispersal:  21 Dimension Travel: 8 Bonuses and Limitations Dimension Travel may be used on anyone weighing up to 2 APs in weight (up to 200 pounds).

Tiffany has the ability (through training) to use her Meteor Hammer (see below) in such a way that the last three or four feet of the weapon remain solid while the...

Ooo, the Legionnaires have great Bodies! (gets slapped) Wait a minute!  I clearly meant BODY - the Resistance Value used to resolve physical attacks.  " This attribute represents a character's resistance to physical damage ."  Your Physical RAPs when you're not hurt are equal to your BODY, and if they are reduced to 0 RAP, you are unconscious.  If they fall below (-1 x BODY), you are dead...just be thankful that only Killing Combat can reduce you to a negative score. Benchmarks 1-2.  A normal human who is susceptible to normal pain stimuli. 3-4.   Body conditioned to withstand moderate damage without great pain.  The individual can weather many blunt attacks, as a prizefighter or martial artist. 5-6.  The body is conditioned to withstand the greatest amount of physical damage humanly possible. The individual possesses exceptional resistance to fatigue. 7-8.   The body can endure attacks from street-level weaponry, such as knives,...
