The first four values added to provide a number of Health points, which was reduced whenever the character was damaged the other three added to give Karma points, which were reduced whenever the character performed evil or unproper acts, increased whenever the character behaved correctly -both as a hero and as the character-, and spent to affect dice rolls and to improve the character's attributes. Keeping on the simple gaming style, each character had seven main attributes identified by the acronym FASERIP -which also became an unofficial name of the gaming system: Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, Psyche. Instead, these values are simplified using capitalized adjectives - anything between 5 and 7 is a "Typical" skill, and 46 to 62 is an "Amazing" skill.

These numbers had no direct effect when playing -only when the player spends points to progress, as it is harder to improve an already high skill. The interesection between the dice result (in rows) and the level of the character's attribute (in columns) was checked, and the resulting color gave the result - White being a failure green being a common success unless the task was particularly difficult yellow a better success (e.g., instead of simply punching an enemy, the character slams the enemy) and red being the best possible result -similar to a "critical hit" in other games.Ĭharacter's attributes have numeric values commonly between 0 and 100 -except for very powerful beings, cosmic entities and the like- with 6 being the level for an untrained human and 50 being the peak possibility for many beings -like Captain America's fighting progress or Spider-Man's agility. The game defined simple rules (with the more abridged official version being a 16-page book), using one single bright-colored table and percentile dices: Whenever a character (either a player or a non-player one) attempts a feat, one of the character's attributes was selected and a dice was thrown.
