Stats (p. 23):
| Stat | Description | Verbs |
|---|---|---|
| Brains | This stat determines how book-smart a character is, as well as how well they understand and solve intellectual problems. | calculate, confuse, learn, remember, repair, solve |
| Fight | This stat determines how good a combatant a character is with whatever weapons or fighting skills you decide your character knows. While a character with a high Fight stat won’t be able to pick up a blaster and use it effectively having never fired one before, this stat will make them good with weapons that they have experience with. Also, they’ll be able to learn how to use new weapons and fighting skills more easily if given the proper training. | blast, cut, hit, shoot, parry, punch, wrestle, restrain |
| Flight | This stat determines how fast a character is on their feet (or whatever they have to move them around the universe). Most importantly, it determines how good they are at piloting ships and all other manner of vehicles. | drive, fly, maneuver, pilot, run, steal |
| Charm | This stat determines how socially adept a character is and how good they are at reading the emotions of another creature or group of creatures. Characters with a high Charm will be able to talk themselves out of tough situations and into good ones with relative ease—within reason. | convince, entice, lie, seduce, talk, trick, persuade |
| Grit | This stat determines how hard it is to break a character emotionally or physically. It also determines how much physical damage they can take before feeling it.

- Tao Zero: Fuel (hydrogen scramjet).

- Planned action: use one-half the die.

| Enhancement | IP Cost |
|---|---|
| +1 | 1 |
| +2 | 1 + 2 = 3 |
