Fuzion Statistics

INT indicates your cleverness, awareness, perception, ability to learn, and sheer intelligence.

Your determination and ability to face danger and/or stress. This Characteristic represents your courage and cool.

Your ability to impress and influence people through your character and charisma; how well you get along with others; how you interact in social situations.

Your ability to manipulate tools or instruments. This is not the same as reflexes, inasmuch as this covers the knack of using tools. One character might have a high Technique, but might not be able to fence or juggle. On the other hand, another might have high Reflexes, but only a fair level of Technique.

Your response time and coordination, as used in aiming, throwing, juggling. A western gun slinger, for example, would have a high reflex Characteristic. Most importantly, this statistic determines your chance to hit things.

Your overall physical competence, as pertains to balancing, leaping, jumping, combat and other athletic activities. A gymnast would have a high Dexterity. Most importantly, this Characteristic is used to avoid being hit.

How healthy you are. How resistant to shock effects, poisons and disease. You can be a really big, tough, strong guy and still get floored by a head cold!

Your muscle mass and how effective it is for exerting force. The higher your strength, the more you can lift, drag, etc., and the more powerful the blows from your fists and other body parts.

BODY indicates your size, toughness, and ability to stay alive and conscious due to physical mass, sheer bloody-mindedness, or other qualities. This statistic also determines how much damage you can take in a fight.

Your speed of movement; running, leaping, swimming, etc.

Your ability to use psionic powers. For most characters, this statistic is zero. GMs might also want to set (relatively low) limits for the PSI of starting characters.

[WILLx3]: Your ability to resist mental or psychological attacks or stress; basically your mental "Hits".

[INT+REF]: Fate acting on your behalf. Each game session you may take points from this Derived Characteristic and use them in other places; to add to important die rolls or subtract from damage. When you have used up all of these points, they are gone until the next game session. You’ve "run out of Luck".

[BODYx5] How much stunning/brawling damage you can take before you are battered into unconsciousness, calculated as points.

[BODY x 5]:How much killing damage you can take before you are dying. Any Armor you have may be subtracted from any Killing damage you take.

[CONx2]: How resistant you are to Stun damage; your SD is subtracted from any Stun damage you take.

[STR+CON]: This Characteristic determines how fast the character recovers from damage. You get back this many Stun points each turn when you rest, and this many Hits back for each day of medical attention.

[CON x 10]: This statistic represents how long the character can expend energy, whether in physical endurance or in the use of a special ability (like psionics). It is spent in the same way as Hits or Stun points. When it runs out, you are exhausted and cannot do anything more except rest and recover. END returns whenever you take a Recover Action, which restores as much END as your REC (see above).

[MOVEx2]: This statistic indicates how fast a character can move while still taking the effort to avoid being hit in combat.

[MOVEx3]: This statistic indicates the maximum speed of a character who ignores any combat that might be going on.
