Faserip

So, years ago when I was still playing the PnP role playing games, I got into Marvel Universe. They had an attribute system marked by the acronym FASERIP, which is basically Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition and Psyche.

I mention this because I have often wondered how some of my characters here in the wonderful City of Heroes would stack up against the Marvel counterparts I have read and loved for a good portion of my life.

So, because I am WAY too into calculations and spreadsheets and because I have FAR too much free time on my hands… I give you the City of Heroes to FASERIP translation worksheet!

First, the scoring spread is from 1 to 100 (generally) in each category. In any given attribute a score of 6 was considered Typical (that is, normal human potential with little to no training). 1 would indicate a severe weakness, while 100 was Unearthly or at the highest end of super power capability without being Cosmic. To give you further insight, a score of 16 in Strength, Agility or Endurance would indicate Olympic Level athleticism, so the scale is definitely geared towards super powered beings.

For a more detailed explanation of this system and the attributes, please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASERIP

Okay, now that you know what the attributes stand for, the next step is to explain the math. This is easy! I swear! Get a piece of paper and have the stats on your character handy. On the paper write down the above attributes in a column. Once that’s done just go down through the following list and write the appropriate numbers next to the applicable attribute. Now, once you’ve gone through the entire list you add all the numbers up to get totals. These 7 numbers are percentages and should then be applied to your character’s current level. So, say you added up all the numbers and got 120 next to your fighting attribute. Then let’s say your current level is 42. 120% of 42 is 1.2x42 or 50.4. Dropping the fraction you get a Fighting rating of 50; which (if memory serves) is about the same fighting skill as Spiderman.

This also means that as your character advances they add both levels (which increases your base number) and powers/slots (which increases your percentage) thus gaining attribute points quickly.

Reason:

Reason is handled differently than the attributes thus far. This is where you may have to do a little decision making with regards to your character’s origins and biography. Since Reason is primarily the ability to create advanced technologies and sciences, we shall determine the Reason score based on Origin rather than Archetype.

Technology/Science will actually be divided into two categories. This is where you need to know your character’s origin story. If the character is a tech/science origin who either created the technology they are using OR they are the technology itself (robot, cyborg, etc.) then they are listed as Tech/Sci Creator. If they only use the technology that someone else created they get Tech/Sci Operator credit.

For simplicities sake we’ll assume that every power your character has derives from their technology.

Technology/Science Creator has a base score of 100. The bonuses come from improvements made to the original technology. A +1 is given for every 5 Training Origin Enhancements, every 4 Dual Origin Enhancement, every 3 Single Origin Enhancement and every 1 Invention Origin or Special (Hami, Set, etc) enhancement. Also, every completed Set will grant an additional +3 bonus over and above the normal slotting bonus.

While not the creator, still the Operators have some knowledge of the tech they use. Technology/Science Operators has a base score of 40.

Okay, here’s another test of your honesty. Psyche is a measure not only of willpower but also of magical or psychic aptitude. If your character has a Magic Origin then you need to determine what the nature of that Origin is. If the hero/villain uses magical items/weapons for their powers then you can stop here and happily go on about your business. If, on the other hand, they cast spells, ARE magical creatures or impose their will upon items or creatures of magic and force them to perform then the character gets a bonus. These Magic Origin characters get a +5 bonus for every power they have regardless of whether it appears on the list above or not. The exceptions to this are any power that lists most/all of the powers in the set (any psychic power set and Willpower are examples of this) and any power that does not come from their magical source. So, a mage with Fire Blast would count every power under that set since they cast spells to get them, but if they had the Devices secondary might NOT count those since they use magic items for those powers.

The other bonus for Psyche is for Controllers and Dominators. This is another test of honesty. If your character’s powers operate because they impose their will on the element involved then they will get a bonus. If their powers are due to a machine, technology or some other non-personal-effort source, then no bonus is earned. Any Control set power not already listed above will garner the character a +5 bonus per power.

Tying It All Together

Now, you’ve probably noticed that low level characters pretty much get shafted with this system. A low percentage of a low number doesn’t leave you with very heroic stats.

Use the following tables for the minimum scores in each category. If your character’s score is lower than the value listed then raise it to the indicated minimum. Of course, this is optional. If you have a Neanderthal Brute who has a brain pan the size of a thimble then you are fully justified in keeping their Reason at 1.

Blaster: Fighting 6, Agility 16, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Brute: Fighting 16, Agility 6, Strength 16, Endurance 10
Controller: Fighting 6, Agility 6, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Corruptor: Fighting 6, Agility 16, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Defender: Fighting 6, Agility 10, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Dominator: Fighting 6, Agility 10, Strength 6, Endurance 6
MasterMind: Fighting 6, Agility 6, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Peacebringer: Fighting 6, Agility 10, Strength 10, Endurance 6
Scrapper: Fighting 16, Agility 6, Strength 10, Endurance 10
Soldier of Arachnos: Fighting 10, Agility 10, Strength 10, Endurance 10
Stalker: Fighting 16, Agility 6, Strength 6, Endurance 6
Tank: Fighting 10, Agility 6, Strength 10, Endurance 16
War Shade: Fighting 6, Agility 10, Strength 10, Endurance 6
Widow: Fighting 10, Agility 10, Strength 6, Endurance 10

Natural, Mutant: Reason 6, Intuition 6, Psyche 6
Magic: Reason 6, Intuition 6, Psyche 16
Science/Technology: Reason 16, Intuition 6, Psyche 6

Just so we’re all on the same page and I haven’t completely confused everyone, I’ll provide an example using one of my own characters.

D’Shan Steelclaw (Level 23, Claws/Regeneration, Scrapper)

Fighting gives a base score of 50 for being a Scrapper. D’Shan has Strike(+5), Slash(+10), Spin(+5) and Follow Up(+20) from the Claws power set. He also has Combat Jump(+5) from Leaping. So far he has a percentage of 95, however he also has 6 Accuracy enhancements slotted in the Claw powers and a Defense Buff slotted in Combat Jump for a bonus of +7 for a total of 102. 102% of his current level of 23 is 23.46. Rounded off this gives him a current Fighting score of 23.

Agility gives 30 points to start for Scrappers. D’Shan has Spin(+5) Swift(+5), Combat Jump(+15) and Super Jump(+15) from the list for a grand total of 70 pts. He also gets +2 for an Accuracy slotted in Spin and +1 for the Defense Buff in Combat Jump. Since he only has one Jump enhancement slotted in Super Jump he gets no bonus there. Total percentage is 73% which when applied to his level of 23 gets 16.79. Rounded off this gives him an Agility of 17.

Scrappers start out with 40 pts towards strength. D’Shan has Strike(+5), Slash(+5), Spin(+10) and Super Jump(+20) in powers with 1 Damage enhancement per attack (+3) for bonuses. This gives him a percentage of 83% applied to level 23 for 19.09. D’Shan currently has an effective Strength score of 19.

Scrappers begin with 50 pts towards Endurance. D’Shan has Swift(+10), Super Jump(+10), Fast Healing(+20), Reconstruction(+10), Quick Recovery(+30), Dull Pain(+15) and Resilience(+5). This brings him to a percentage of 150%. He does not have any Endurance Reduction enhancements slotted in any power so gets no bonus for that. He does have 3 Endurance Modification enhancements in Quick Recovery so gets +3, bringing his total to 153%. Applied to his level of 23 this gives him an Endurance score of 35.19 or 35.

D’Shan is a Natural Origin hero, which gives him a base score of 30 towards Reason. He has the Inventor badge which grants him a +10 bonus and has 37 Invention Origin Ehancements slotted; 37 divided by 3 is 12(dropping fractions) so he has final percentage of 30+10+12 or 52%. At level 23 this gives him a Reason score of 11.96 or 12.

Intuition gives a flat rate of 40, regardless of Archetype or Origin. D’Shan does not have any of the powers listed nor does he have any bonuses to his Perception through set powers or the like. 40% of his level 23 gets an Intuition of 9.2 or 9.

Psyche for Scrappers has a base of 20. D’Shan has Integration(+15) and Resilience(+5) from Regeneration for a total of 40. He is Natural Origin so he gets no bonus from Magic and he’s a Scrapper so no Control Set bonus either. 40% of 23 is 9.2 which gives him a Psyche score of 9.

So, D’Shan Steelclaw is currently:

F:23 A:17 S:19 E:35 R:12 I:9 P:9

Consider that another Claws/Regen guy from Marvel by the name of Wol… Wol-something-or-other had stats:

F:40 A:30 S:10 E:30 R:10 I:75 P:40

If you want to compare your character’s stats with your favorite comic-book-hero then just blip on over to this site:

http://www.angelfire.com/comics/benriely/

Follow the path to your favorite and they will give you the original FASERIP values as published by the game.

Author’s note: Yes, I know this system is likely wildly inaccurate and there are more inconsistencies in it than a political speech 48 hours before election day. My only defense is I did it for the fun of it rather than pure scientific accuracy.

Tiny question from the massive walls of text:

For Endurance, you seem to be looking chiefly at the character's ability to boost or restore their own health and/or energy, and at powers that would help them resist environmental effects (like Resist Elements or Temperature Protection). That seems intuitively correct, based on the system you're working with.

Why, then, is Absorb Pain on the Endurance list for Empathy? It damages the user, makes them briefly unable to heal, and doesn't restore any energy. Did you mean Healing Aura?

ETA: Also, when calculating bonuses from enhancements, how do you account for enhancements with multiple aspects. HOs should be pretty simple--they would count as one of each aspect. Set IOs might be more complicated.

Interesting.

Kind of idly curious here, but why nothing for any of the devices powers in the intuition category? Both a stealth and a fairly significant + perception powere there. Oh, and while I'm thinking of it Munitions has a version of surveillance too.

What a painful-sounding acronym



I certainly wouldn't want my fase ripped.

Okay, based on the initial version posted, my main shapes up as follows:

GOLIATH BIRD EATER (LVL 50 CRAB SPIDER)
----------------------------------------
FIGHTING: 38 (Fantastic)

AGILITY: 66 (Sensational)

STRENGTH: 45 (Spectacular)

ENDURANCE: 84 (Monstrous)

REASON: 35* (Fantastic)

INTUITION: 65 (Sensational)

PSYCHE: 57 (Amazing)

* I tallied up Reason as a Natural SoA, although this particular character has become mostly mechanical by now

My level 50 FF/Energy Blast/Power Mastery Defender didn't cleanly fit into most of your categories since your lists didn't go into the powers of his sets. I had to use the "similar to" method to match up the powers.

He's a 75 month vet, so I included those powers where a similar power was listed. He's also completely slotted with IO sets and Purples, so that drove up the numbers in the bonus category. He's also a full blown inventor, so I used the creator method.

Also, my character has 47.1% defense to the most common types of damage, and 46.8% defense to positional attacks (above soft-cap), 47% resistance to S/L, most (if not all) of the accolades that provide combat boosts, and can use PFF to become practically untouchable. Those numbers are reflected in the Fighting and Agility numbers since they represent the "defense against" abilitites.

Fighting: 70 (Mn)
Agility: 122 (Un)
Strength: 60 (Am)
Endurance: 97 (Un)
Reason: 131 (Shift X)
Intuition: 105 (Un)
Psyche: 110 (Un)

The numbers may look crazy, but they do match up with the various heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe that he's been patterned after. For example, Invisible Woman has Mn for her FF's, and Dr. Doom has Un for his version of PFF. It sort of falls down though when Mr. Fantastic has Reason of 50 while Tony Stark has a 40 in that category.

Your method to calculate the values adds the power abilitites into the base numbers. The MSH:RPG uses powers to replace the values of those categories in most cases. For example, Invisible Woman has a Fighting of Ex 20, but her Force Fields negate things into the Mn range. Figuring out how to do that might with your system might be better than a straight addition and % of level calculation.

Mmm... Classic Marvel w/FASERIP. THAT brings back some memories.

Now I'm gonna have to break out my MSHA Judges Book after I calculate... >.>

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I ripped Goliath' set up since it looked nice.

JACK POWER (LVL 50 INV/SS TANKER)
----------------------------------------
FIGHTING: 54

AGILITY: 26

STRENGTH: 94

ENDURANCE: 108

REASON: 47

INTUITION: 20

PSYCHE: 27


I'd say his fighting skill and reason is a tad high compared to my picture of my main. And getting 108 in endurance is nice to see in a character who is on the last slivers of blue in many a fight. Although I have never played MSH I just love these kinds of comparative lists and computations.
A+ to Steelclaw for this.

//Jack

Check out this page for benchmarks. I hope they are up to date.

//Jack

Damn it, Steelclaw, now I'll never get my homework done!

Illumineer, my level 26 Ill/Rad troller, science origin, with rocket-boots-based flight:

Fighting 7
Agility 8
Strength 6
Endurance 28
Reason 29
Intuition 26
Psyche 25

Ouch. Time to go do this for my 50s.

Eldrix the Blackbird, level 50 spellcasting Grav/En/Soul dom:

Fighting: 32
Agility: 57
Strength: 25
Endurance: 45
Reason: 39
Intuition: 50
Psyche: 132 (YEAHHH MAGIC DOMINATORS!)

EDIT: I wanted to do this for my Widow but I can't, because a) the entire Widow Teamwork secondary has been mysteriously left out of the Intuition category, and b) why is Tactical Training: Assault worth less Psyche than the Leadership pool version, and Tactical Training: Maneuvers worth none at all?

Also, shouldn't any Natural-origin characters whose powers are psychic in nature get a bonus to Intuition?

OK, got Sav done, ate dinner, came back, and checked my Judges Guide for Rank Names, and comparisons.

Savannah Nightwolf, Level 50 Mutation Martial Arts/Regeneration Scrapper

Fighting - Unearthly (88)
Agility - Monsterous (64)
Strength - Monsterous (63)
Endurance - Shift X (133)
Reason - Remarkable (35)
Intuition - Monsterous (65)
Psyche - Excellent (22)

Compared to other characters in the Judges Guide:

Fighting - Thor, Hercules
Agility - Silver Surfer
Strength - Colossus
Endurance - No comparison. She outranks EVERYONE except entities (and even some of them)
Reason - Shadowcat
Intuition - Daredevil
Psyche - Beast

Note that this guide is from 1986. When it was published, Angel was just Angel, Storm had lost her powers, and was sporting a mohawk, and Spider-Man was using the Symbiote for his new suit.

Now, using the link Jack provided:

Fighting - Thor, Hercules
Agility - Silver Surfer, Mehpisto
Strength - Thing, She-Hulk
Endurance - No comparison. The site only lists up to Unearthly.
Reason - Shadowcat
Intuition - Daredevil
Psyche - Black Widow, Nightcrawler

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I decided to add up my namesake character, a level 50 Bots/Traps MM (Softcapped and verified AV soloer.) The results were pretty close to what I saw for her, though I have a few notes/caveats to add.

Fighting: 14 (Good)
Agility: 62 (Sensational)
Strength: 25* (Excellent/Good*)
Endurance: 75 (Monstrous)
Reason: 109** (Unearthly)
Intuition: 50 (Amazing)
Psyche: 35 (Fantastic)

*Strength seems a bit high; since 10 points of that comes from her having Super Jump, which I never have played as being strong leg muscles, but just some sort of genetic weirdness in her creation, a 15 seems more reasonable for her Strength. She doesn't even exercise.

** To be perfectly honest, the Reason calculation seems to discount powers just a bit too much for my taste. Both Robotics and Traps are powersets explicitly tied towards her Reason (and relatively unused anywhere else), another bonus for those seems reasonable to me (not included). Also, the Field Crafter Accolade should probably provide another bonus (on top of that for Inventor (also not included here)). After looking at the benchmarks, however, the bonus for IOs/Sets might actually be a bit too high (Eiko has every slot (93 (will be 97 when i19 hits)) slotted with IOs, as well as 8 complete sets), since a 100 here seems to indicate omniscience.

Using a modified Reason calculation of 100 (Creator) + 41 (1 per 2 IOs) + 24 (full sets) + 20 (+5 each for Inventor, Field Crafter, and having most of the powers from both Robotics and Traps (Devices would also qualify for this; maybe other powersets too)) yields a 93 Reason, which is still extremely high but not god-like.

Looking through some of those character listings, scores higher than 50 don't seem to crop up a lot; however, in Eiko's case, the ones she has that high fit reasonably with her powers as defined in game: a high Endurance reflects her faster-than-peak (represented by the base game mechanics) regeneration and the fact that she possesses "perfect" regeneration, meaning she does not scar and is theoretically ageless; a high Agility reflects her ability to avoid damage (being softcapped and a bit); and her high Reason is the very source of her powersets in game, being a genius-level prodigy inventor.

Damn it Steelclaw. I was going to play tonight, but instead I decided to log in two of my characters to see how they compare.

The first is Super Villain, my first level 50, my first Main, and a character I haven't played in years. As a level 50 Illusion / Empathy Controller slotted with almost complete SOs, she did okay:


Super Villain
Fighting: (10) Good
Agility: (36) Fantastic
Strength : (15) Good
Endurance: (76) Monstrous
Reason: (68) Sensational
Intuition: (70) Sensational
Psyche: (72) Sensational


Next up is a little bunny. My newest Main. A level 50 Warshade (tri-form focused) with all IOs and several purple sets, he's a beast with Perma-Hasten and Perma-Eclipse.


a little bunny
Fighting: (22) Excellent
Agility: (62) Sensational
Strength : (42) Incredible
Endurance: (97) Awesome
Reason: (52) Amazing
Intuition: (60) Sensational
Psyche: (40) Incredible

Not bad, all told. a little bunny's Reason could have been 108, but I wasn't sure how a Warshade was classified regarding the Tech/Science powers, so I went with the lower of the two options, partially for the story. I also don't really feel like the powers gained from Dark Nova were represented very well, but that might just be me. And here's Dr Right. My level 27 Electric / Earth Dominator. As an old man, he's not doing too bad for himself, is he?



Dr Right
Fighting: (14) Good
Agility: (20) Excellent
Strength: (17) Good
Endurance: (34) Remarkable
Reason: (14) Good
Intuition: (10) Good
Psyche: (22) Excellent

My Grav/kin Primal controller.. Named Controller Grav. Been playing her since I started the game and she is level 50.

Name: Controller Grav
Origin: Science
Level: 50

Fighting 10 (good)
Agility: 36 (fantastic)
Strength: 15 (good)
Endurance: 56 (amazing)
Reason: 51 (amazing)
Intuition: 20 (execellent)
Psyche: 25 (Excellent)

Not bad overall. Technially she can manipulate gravity to increase her effective str though by reducing the gravity of an object.
I used to love marvel RPG. I even wrote a program for my Ti-85 to generate random heroes.
