The Universe Stat System is the primary power classification framework used throughout the Continuum Universes. It categorizes all beings—from microbes to mortals, titans, spirits, and true gods—into a structured hierarchy based on their metaphysical weight, narrative relevance, and influence on reality.

This system complements the numerical Stat Scale (1–1,000) by defining what kind of being a character is, rather than merely how strong they are.

Overview

The Universe Stat System divides existence into seven major Power Classes:

  • Mortal
  • Enhanced
  • Titanite
  • Cosmic
  • Eldritch
  • Near-Divine
  • Divine

The numeric 1–1,000 Stat Scale describes a being's measurable capacities. The Universe Stat System describes their existential tier and narrative role.

Power Classes

Mortal Class

Beings fully bound to biological limits and physical law.

Stat Range:

1–200

Examples: Humans, small fauna, most Free Species

Traits:

  • Limited psionics
  • Biological durability only
  • Cannot manipulate essence or reality
  • Always overshadowed by higher tiers

Mortal beings form the baseline of existence.

Enhanced Class

Beings who exceed natural biology through evolution, mutation, or design, yet remain grounded in physical law.

Stat Range:

150–300

Examples: Modern Valorîin, augmented humans Traits:

  • Improved strength, senses, or psionics
  • Still fundamentally mortal
  • Cannot affect metaphysical layers

Enhanced beings occupy the height of realistic mortal capability.

Titanite Class

Apex mortal beings whose power approaches the upper boundaries of physical possibility.

Stat Range:

300–600 (Will may exceed)

Examples:

Traits:

  • Can lift tons, survive extreme forces
  • Possess resilient or enhanced physiology
  • Often psionically gifted
  • Capable of fighting armies
  • Do not bend spacetime by existing

Titanite beings represent the absolute pinnacle of mortal potential.

Cosmic Class

Beings with the ability to influence environments, laws, or energies on a large scale, though still limited by universal rules.

Stat Range:

500–750 in specialized stats

Examples:

  • Ancient spirits
  • High psionic anomalies
  • Large astral organisms
  • Certain unstable First-Flame remnants

Traits:

  • Can distort or manipulate localized physical forces
  • Influence heat, gravity, or psionic fields
  • Dangerous on planetary scales
  • Still bound by metaphysical constraints

Cosmic beings are extremely rare but not divine.

Eldritch Class

Entities whose existence disrupts perception, sanity, or stability. Eldritch beings are not defined by physical stats, but by metaphysical incompatibility.

Stat Range:

Not reliably measurable

Examples:

  • Void-spawn
  • Psionic parasites
  • Dream-entities
  • Pre-creation anomalies

Traits:

  • Distort minds, memories, or probability
  • May defy logic without raw strength
  • Often hostile to structured reality
  • Can threaten Titanite beings despite low visible stats

Eldritch beings are not stronger than mortals—they are fundamentally incorrect.

Near-Divine Class

Beings who approach divine potency through spiritual nature or partially awakened cosmic ancestry.

Stat Range:

700–900+ depending on form

Examples:

  • First-Flames (Spirit Form Only)
  • Ascended heroes
  • Ancient primal spirits

Traits:

  • Can manipulate essence, causality, or soul-structure
  • Not omnipotent
  • Cannot create universes
  • Severely weakened in mortal vessels
  • Stand one tier below true Divinity

Near-Divines represent the highest attainable form short of godhood.

Divine Class

The highest class of existence, completely beyond measurement or limitation.

Examples: Meera, Merrik

Traits:

  • Infinite, unbounded power
  • Exist outside spacetime and causality
  • Create universes and metaphysical law
  • Cannot be quantified; do not use stats
  • Narrative entities, not gameplay entities

Divinity transcends all classification.

Relationship to the Stat Scale

The Universe Stat System does not replace the Stat Scale. Instead, the two work together:

  • The Stat Scale measures how much a being can do.
  • The Universe Stat System measures what they are.

Examples:

  • An Elder Valorîin may have Strength 380 (Titanite).
  • A Prime Sherok may have Strength 550 (Titanite, higher tier).
  • An Eldritch anomaly may have Strength 5 but can destroy minds.
  • A Divine being cannot be placed on the scale at all.

Gameplay Integration

Game Masters should:

  • Use the numeric scale for encounters and mechanics.
  • Use Universe Classes for cosmic hierarchy and threat framing.
  • Reserve Eldritch, Near-Divine, and Divine classes for narrative impact.
  • Avoid assigning numeric stats to Divine beings.

This layered system preserves both mechanical clarity and mythic depth.
