Well, it WAS the attribute you gave me on an earlier post. Mental Endurance (ME) refers to the amount of emotional and mental stress, pressure, and strain the character can take. Remember, that only characters with an attribute of 16 or better (exceptional attributes) receive bonuses from them. In other words, Randi won't receive any bonuses to save against psionics and whatnot unless her ME is 16 or higher (although she would still roll to save as a psionic character).
It was? Okay, it was. All right, then I do agree with the rating...


Quote:
10 is average. If you wanted above average, I would suggest 11 or 12.
11 would be perfect.

Physical Prowess (PP) is a catchall term for the character's overall agility, dexterity, grace, reflexes, precision, accuracy, balance, etc etc etc... it is literally 'physical prowess': your ability to use your body. In combat, a physical prowess of 16 or higher yields bonuses to Strike, Parry and Dodge.... and also, with certain forms of training (such as Ninjutsu or Tai Chi), Physical Prowess is used to determine the Damage bonus (in which it would be identical to the Strike bonus).
Okay so... just leave it as is then.

I must correct his. I would put Randi as a first level (since you have not indicated otherwise) in Hand to Hand: Martial Arts (Mike is a fifth level in Hand to Hand: Ninjutsu). In that case, she would actually have a +3 for both her Parry and Dodge bonuses. So, it is now....

-Parry: +3
-Dodge: +3
okay.

Quote:
Based on what I saw so far, Chayon Ryu does not appear to use 'flow' in the sense that Ninjutsu and Tai Chi do, so I would still base her Damage bonus on Physical Strength (PS) and not Physical Prowess (PP). In either event, both attributes are too low to have a Damage bonus anyways...
Yeah, okay... not going to argue.

Ok. I'll explain it. 15 is the highest level, 1 is the beginning level. Mike and Don are at level 5, Leo and Raph are at level 6. Where do you think Randi would be on this??? Or do you just want to make her level 1 as a starting character???
She's no where near them so there fore is below a 4 and she's not really a starting character so she really shouldn't be a 1 but she is relitively new so the best level for her would be a 2.
