Power Score

The **Power Score** is a system that determines the quality of certain intrinsic traits that all characters possess. The score operates off of five of these most general characteristics that any one person could possess, even if in greater or lesser capacities than the average person may have. Below are a list of the five attributes, as well as what purpose they serve to a character.

* **Strength.** Determines a character's physical strength.
* **Agility.** Determines a character's physical speed.
* **Endurance.** Determines a character's ability to endure and sustain injuries.
* **Intelligence.** Determines a character's problem-solving ability.
* **Wisdom.** Determines a character's sense of judgement.

The score operates from a ten-point scale, with the lowest value being one, and the highest one can achieve (naturally) being a ten. Each value is indicative of a general level of ability, but not to an exact amount. This is because of the fact that someone with peak ability in say Strength who has a lesser amount of muscle mass than someone such as The Mountain would not be able to compare in Strength. The general measurements of each value can be found below.

* **1.** A value that is comparable to someone that is especially infirm in their ability within a specific attribute.
* **2-4.** A value that is comparable to someone that is either lacking especially or minimally so in their ability within a attribute.
* **5-6.** A value that is comparable to someone that is fair enough in their ability within a specific attribute.
* **7-9.** A value that is comparable to someone that is superb in their ability within a specific attribute.
* **10.** A value that is comparable to someone that is at the peak of what humanity can offer within a specific attribute.

## Strength

**Strength** determines how physically strong a character is. Characters with a high Strength attribute tend to be knights, strong warriors clad in armor capable of wielding bastard swords with enough strength to cut through a man's chest. Strength is also a shared attribute with Agility.

## Agility

**Agility** determines how physically agile a character is. This includes a character's general speed. While in the same realm as Strength, characters with high Agility attributes tend to be the opposite type of warrior. Quick on their feet and relying on their movement to weave through attacks and strike at the weaknesses of their foes.

### Shared With Strength

Agility is a shared attribute with Strength. This means that the two attributes are directly affected by one another. In total, a character can only have 15 points shared between the two stats (bonuses withstanding). This means when maxed out, one could only have peak human ability within one area and average within another. Of course the exact amount allotted can depend on each person.

## Endurance

**Endurance** determines a character's ability to withstand injury and exert themselves over time. All men bleed the same, but not all can still fight while doing so. Characters with a high Endurance are especially dangerous, as they do not give in so easily in the fevered pitch of battle. They could take a lethal stab in a gut, and still get up with the last of their strength to exact their revenge before perishing.

## Intelligence

**Intelligence** determines how smart a character is and their ability to solve problems. Characters with a high intelligence are typically among the maesters or well-versed lords and ladies. Intelligence shares a relationship with the Wisdom stat, much like Strength and Agility share with one another.

## Wisdom

**Wisdom** determines a character's sense of judgement and their spirituality. Characters with a high wisdom are typically those who can see the truth behind the veil, and reach into the spiritual parts of the world that most are ignorant of.

### Shared With Intelligence

Much like the relationship between Strength and Agility, Intelligence and Wisdom are also shared attributes. This means that there is a total amount that is to be shared between them. Just as it is for Strength and Agility, this limit is 15 points. The exact amount allotted to each other depends on the character, so long as the maximum remains the same.
