If you all take a moment you will notice that the limits for strengths speed stamina and such are not given a hard and consistent value. It is for the most part relative because each character is the star of their own series of books, movies, plays, etc so forth and so on. While each character is a star the light must shine and reach to each and every character. To help gauge this relative you will notice in the mini-profile a notation that says Mastery and a numerical value.

Mastery as a tool is the measure of the characters strength. It grows based on the characters posts. Now I know a lot of you will look at that number and then run to look at other characters mastery level. You will notice some commonalities you may even notice that an Omega classed character with a higher mastery number. This is perfectly normal and on occasion to be expected.

To simplify that pretzel of a conundrum it is simply this. Mastery is only point for point accurate with characters of the same level.

Otherwise it is as follows:

• Omega Mastery Score = .50 x Beta Mastery Score
• Omega Mastery Score = .25 x Alpha Mastery Score
• Beta Mastery Score = 2.0 x Omega Mastery Score
• Beta Mastery Score = .50 x Alpha Mastery Score
• Alpha Mastery Score = 4.0 x Omega Mastery Score
• Alpha Mastery Score = 2.0 x Beta Mastery Score
