TRAITS.
Remember, under each set of three Attributes their can not be any Attribute greater than
Capacity (Cap).
Each Attribute represents a Categorys Capacity (Cap), Power (Pow), or Speed (Spd).

Both Mental TRAIT and Spiritual TRAIT have Effect Levels (EL) which are equal to 75% of
that TRAIT
Calculate and record these.
Physical TRAIT:
Wound Level (WL) ___ 75% of Physical TRAIT, after HP takes this much damage they are
Dazed
Critical Level (CL) ___ 90% of Physical TRAIT, after HP takes this much damage it is
unconscious
Recovery Level (RL) ___ 10% of Physical TRAIT, if character has this or less damage then
they are considered fully recovered.
Avoidance, Base Numbers

Mental Avoidance = MMSpd+MRSpd

Physical Avoidance = PMSpd+PNSpd
Spiritual Avoidance = SMSpd+SPSpd

HPs with Spiritual TRAIT Vocation may take either.
HPs may take both by using Bonus K/S Areas in the next step.

33. Calculate Heka Aperture MMM

Heka Apature Rule - The maximum amount of additional heka -- that is, heka added to that needed to use a
power or activate a casting, including those for a Mental or Spiritual attack is determined by the Heka
Apature capacity of the individual channeler/practitioner. (In regards to power use assume a level maximum
expenditure of 100 heka points to activate/utilize the power.) The total amount of additional heka energy that
can be used in a Mental or Spiritual attack, or added to a power use or casting, is determined as follows:
Heka Apature = Channeler's/practitioner's highest STEEP in a Prime heka-generating K/S Area (x2 if a Full
Practitioner) plus 10 per additional heka-generating K/S Area possessed.
