Each character is partially defined by a number of statistics:

: A character's Avoid Defense (AD) is their capacity to avoid attacks that primarily deal damage. If you are conscious, you may choose to be hit despite your AD.

GD: A character's Grab Defense (GD) is their capacity to avoid grabs, attacks that aim to inconvenience, and toxins. If you are conscious, you may choose to be hit despite your GD.

Will Save: A character's Will Save is their capacity to remain coolheaded and in control in the face of terror or mental domination. Add this to your d10 roll when making a Will save. If you are conscious, you may choose to fail your save.

Accuracy: A character's Accuracy is their capacity to hit with attacks.

Stealth: A character's Stealth determines how well they can avoid being noticed, as described under Detection.

Perception: A character's Perception determines how easily they detect others, as described under Detection.

Toughness: A character's Toughness determines how much damage it takes to wound them. Characters take a number of wounds from any damaging attack equal to the damage roll divided by their Toughness, rounded down.

HP: A character normally starts with 1. Hit Points (HP) determines how many wounds you can take before being knocked unconscious. If you are reduced to -2 HP, you die. If you suffer any wounds, you become injured.

Movement: A character's Movement options determine how quickly and deftly they can navigate their environment.

Agility: A character's Agility determines whether they go first in combats that start without anyone preparing for them, and how well they can do tricky stunts on unstable surfaces.

Size: A character's size is the diameter of the circle that indicates how much space they take up, and is a general measure of how big they are. A character can fit into a space as small as half that diameter, but is squeezed while doing so and has movement difficulties. Not all creatures must use circular spaces, other shapes may be used for long or boxy creatures, so long as the surface area is the same; rotation for non-circular creatures takes movement equal to the distance the section that moves the most needs to move.

Reach: A character's Reach indicates how far away they can interact with enemies and objects in melee.

Strongman: A character's Strongman is used to calculate their carrying capacity, and their ability to climb.

Carrying Capacity: A character's carrying capacity is normally a number of kilograms equal to their total Strongman, squared. Characters can carry up to three times that much, but are encumbered when doing so. If carrying any more than that, characters are overloaded.

Weight: A character's weight determines how much they encumber other characters who are carrying them.

Attacks: When an action (such as assault) lets a character make its normal number of attacks, this is the number.

Save DC: When a character forces someone to make a save, this is typically the number they must roll to succeed.

Damage Bonus When a character deals damage, this number is added to it.

Power: This is a resource for electrical devices.

Power Storage: This is the maximum amount of Power the character can have: if they have more than this much power at the end of any turn, excess power is lost.

Power Regeneration: The character gains this much Power at the beginning of its turn, immediately before effects that drain power per round.
