Stat Block (Game Mechanic)

The Stat Block is a core Game Mechanic in the Continuum Universes system, used to quantify and compare the capabilities of all sentient beings, creatures, and entities. Stat blocks provide a standardized format for displaying the abilities, strengths, and limitations of any character or species, allowing for consistent worldbuilding and game adjudication.

Purpose

A stat block distills the essential traits of a being—physical, mental, social, and metaphysical—into numerical values based on the 1–1,000 scale. This enables Game Masters, writers, and players to quickly assess relative power, resolve conflicts, and translate lore into game-ready mechanics.

Structure

A standard stat block includes the following fields:

Stat Block Fields

Stat	Description
Strength	Physical might, lifting/carrying capacity, force generation
Dexterity	Agility, reflexes, balance, fine motor control
Constitution	Endurance, resistance to fatigue or injury, health
Senses	Acuity of sight, hearing, smell, taste, extrasensory perception
Intelligence	Cognitive capacity, memory, reasoning, learning speed
Wisdom	Intuition, perception, spiritual or psionic insight
Charisma	Social influence, leadership, beauty, presence
Will	Mental resilience, determination, psionic endurance

Format Example

A stat block is usually presented as a table or concise list. Below is a sample for an Average Human (Game Mechanic):

Sample Stat Block: Average Human

Stat	Value
Strength	100
Dexterity	100
Constitution	100
Senses	100
Intelligence	100
Wisdom	100
Charisma	100
Will	100

Interpreting Stat Values

• 1–99: Below-average or non-sapient (bacteria, animals, children)
• 100: Average adult human in that stat
• 200: World-record or legendary mortal
• 300–600: Superhuman (e.g., Modern Valorîin)
• 750–900: Demigod-level, ancient or engineered super-beings (e.g., High Valorîin)
• 900–999: Divine, reality-warping entities (e.g., Elder Valorîin, Sherok)
• 1,000+: True Divine, cosmological beings (e.g., Meera)

See the Stat Scaling in the Continuum Universes article for a detailed breakdown.

Usage

Stat blocks serve as:

• Character sheets for player characters and NPCs
• Creature profiles for fauna, monsters, and divine beings
• Wiki infoboxes and lore pages, enabling direct comparison between species and heroes
• Narrative reference to anchor power levels in worldbuilding and storytelling

Customization

Depending on the context, a stat block may include additional traits or specialized stats (such as Psionics, Magical Aptitude, or Divine Power), especially for unique species or higher-tier beings.

Stat Block Infobox (Template)

 | strength = 780
 | dexterity = 500
 | constitution = 850
 | senses = 830
 | intelligence = 350
 | wisdom = 690
