While some planets may have a gravity similar to Earth, others may vary greatly. Not to mention, in some cases, an artificial gravity can be made that overcomes any naturally occurring gravity for planets!
Gravity Intensity (GI)
Regarding issues of Gravity, you have to assign that Gravity an Intensity. Gravity Intensity is measured in numerical ranks, and each rank assigns different penalties to Characters in that Gravity (based on the numerical value of the Grade). Each rank is representative of various multiplications of Earth’s natural gravity.
Gravity Intensity can cause you to slow down, become weaker, struggle to focus on skills, and find Transformations to be more stressful.
The different ranks of Gravity Intensity are shown here:
| Gravity Intensity | Speed Modifier | Combat Rolls | Skill Bonuses | Stress Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (1~4x) | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| 1 (5~10x) | -1(bT) | -1(bT) | -1 | -1 |
| 2 (11~50x) | -2(bT) | -2(bT) | -2 | -2 |
| 3 (51~100x) | -3(bT) | -3(bT) | -3 | -3 |
| 4 (101x~200x) | -4(bT) | -4(bT) | -4 | -4 |
| 5 (201x~500x) | -5(bT) | -5(bT) | -5 | -5 |
| 6 (501x+) | -6(bT) | -6(bT) | -6 | -6 |
Gravity Acclimatization (GA)
Characters can become used to varying degrees of gravity, enabling them to reduce or even potentially outright ignore the difficulties that come with different Gravity Intensities.
Your ARC will decide your character’s Gravity Acclimatization, but various factors that can improve it include:
- Being born and raised on a planet with heightened gravity,
- Training in higher gravity,
- Becoming significantly stronger.
Gravity Acclimatization is measured in numerical ranks similarly to Gravity Intensity (from 0~6). When trying to figure out what degree of Gravity Intensity you should be suffering from, subtract your GA from the environment’s GI. The resultant number is the Gravity Intensity you are suffering from (the GI cannot become lower than 0).
Gravity Rules
Below are a variety of rules that apply to Gravity, Gravity Intensity and Gravity Acclimatization:
Forms and Gravity. While in a Form or a Transcendent Enhancement, increase your Gravity Acclimatization by 1/2 (rounded up) of that Transformation’s Tier of Power Requirement.
Soaring and Gravity. If you are suffering from a Gravity Intensity of 2+, you cannot use the Soar Maneuver. Additionally, at the end of each of your turns, if you are in a High Environment, leave that High Environment and return to the ground.
Overwhelming Gravity. If you are suffering from a Gravity Intensity of 3+, you are knocked Prone at the end of each of your turns. If you are suffering from a Gravity Intensity of 4+, then when you are knocked Prone, reduce your Life Points by 1/4 (rounded up) of your Maximum Life Points.
