ADVENTURING<\/p>\n
Oppose the Federation on any number of dodgy missions to gain allies, money, technology or just piss off Servalan in dystopian desperate space opera fun. Orac is a fine plot hook for finding out stuff. Before the end of season four, unless you fancy recruiting a new team. <\/p>\n
Preferably give the scenario a chance to highlight social combat between Avon and Servalan and Blake and Travis, too!<\/p>\n
THE LADDER<\/p>\n
Being a big Marvel Super Heroes fan from way back, this is how I like to think:<\/p>\n
Value\tAdjective<\/p>\n
+13 Cosmic 5 (Class 5000)
\n+12 Cosmic 3 (Class 3000)
\n+11 Cosmic 1 (Class 1000)

\n+9 Legendary Y (Shift Y)
\n+8\tLegendary X (Shift X)
\n+7\tUnearthly (Epic)
\n+6\tMonstrous (Fantastic)
\n+5\tAmazing (Superb)
\n+4\tIncredible (Great)
\n+3\tRemarkable (Good)
\n+2\tExcellent (Fair)
\n+1\tGood (Average)
\n+0\tTypical (Mediocre)
\n-1\tPoor
\n-2\tFeeble (Terrible)
\n-3\tAwful 0 (Shift 0)
\n-4\tAbysmal<\/p>\n
FASERIP – basic human attributes<\/p>\n
Physique is split compared to Core, into a Strength component and an Endurance component, the latter of which should be used for the Stress track. Reason is native intelligence.<\/p>\n
Fighting (Fight)
\nAgility (Athletics)
\nStrength
\nEndurance
\nReason
\nIntuition (Notice)
\nPsyche (Will)<\/p>\n
Secondary<\/p>\n
Popularity is a measure of charisma, reputation and public influence. If you like, bad people can have a negative popularity ladder equivalent. Supervillains, mass murderers, ruthless thugs in The Ball, etc.<\/p>\n
