The FASERIP System

The Marvel Super Heroes RPG uses seven primary attributes that spell out FASERIP. Each attribute has a rank (from Feeble to Beyond) that determines how many dice you roll and what column you use on the Universal Table. Simple, elegant, and perfect for capturing comic book action.

F Fighting
A Agility
S Strength
E Endurance
R Reason
I Intuition
P Psyche
