Every character in the Bee Terrific Media Roleplaying Game is defined by seven core traits — the FASERIP abilities — that form the backbone of action, power, and personality. These stats are the same whether you’re a werewolf necromancer, a divine familiar, or a kinetic techno-angel with a flaming sketchpad.
These traits are: we will dive into these in more detail next chapter
- Fighting – Your close-combat skill and ability to hold your own in melee
- Agility – Reflexes, coordination, speed, and finesse
- Strength – Raw physical power and lifting capability
- Endurance – Stamina, toughness, and physical resistance
- Reason – Logic, learning, and scientific knowledge
- Intuition – Awareness, instinct, perception
- Psyche – Willpower, mental fortitude, and spiritual resolve
Each of these abilities is assigned a Rank, which tells you how good your character is in that area. Ranks have both a descriptive name (like Good or Amazing) and a Rank Number, which is used during gameplay for things like action resolution, damage, and resistance.
Here’s the official Rank Chart you’ll use during play:
FASERIP Rank Chart
| Rank | Rank Range | Standard Rank Number |
|---|---|---|
| Shift 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Feeble | 1–2 | 2 |
| Poor | 3–4 | 4 |
| Typical | 5–7 | 6 |
| Good | 8–15 | 10 |
| Excellent | 16–25 | 20 |
| Remarkable | 26–35 | 30 |
| Incredible | 36–45 | 40 |
| Amazing | 46–62 | 50 |
| Monstrous | 63–87 | 75 |
| Unearthly | 88–125 | 100 |
| Shift X | 126–175 | 150 |
| Shift Y | 176–350 | 200 |
| Shift Z | 351–999 | 500 |
| Class 1000 | 1000 – 2999 | 1000 |
| Class 3000 | 3000 – 4999 | 3000 |
| Class 5000 | 5000 – 7000 | 5000 |
| Beyond | 7000 – Infinite | Infinite |
Most starting characters will fall between Typical and Amazing in their abilities. Cosmic-level characters, divine forces, or universal constants (such as the archangels, primordial forces, or the origin-level beings in your lore) may exist at Shift Z or higher — but these ranks are rare and reserved for campaign-defining encounters.
For example:
- A mage like April, who manipulates time, might have Unearthly Psyche to resist paradox.
- A monster like Camille, in full werewolf form, might have Monstrous Strength and Remarkable Endurance.
- A robot like Yao from SportsBrawl may have Incredible Reason but only Typical Psyche due to artificial consciousness.
In the next section, we’ll look at each primary ability one by one — how it works, when to use it, and how to interpret it for your magical hero.
