"'Who cares if data says he's 54.6 times stronger than me. That just means this'll be 54.6 times more fun!'"

Synopsis
Ability levels are used to classify a character's potential, usually in combat, in terms of intelligence, strength, speed, durability, energy output, and fighting skills.

Intelligence
The ability to think and process information.
 * 0 = None
 * 1 = Slow or impaired
 * 2 = Normal
 * 3 = Learned
 * 4 = Gifted
 * 5 = Genius
 * 6 = Super-Genius
 * 7 = Omniscient

Strength
The maximum ability to lift (press) weight over one's head (under optimal conditions)
 * 0 = Weak: cannot lift own body weight
 * 1 = Normal: able to lift own body weight
 * 2 = Peak Human: able to lift over twice own body weight, up to 800 lbs
 * 3 = Enhanced: able to lift over 800 lbs to 10 tons
 * 4 = Superhuman: able to lift over 10 to 25 tons
 * 5 = Superhuman: able to lift over 25 to 100 tons
 * 6 = Superhuman: able to lift over 100 to 1000 tons
 * 7 = Incalculable: able to lift over 1000 tons

Speed
The ability to move through space by running or flight
 * 0 = Below Normal: immobile to maximum walking speed.
 * 1 = Normal: able to move over 10 to 30 mph
 * 2 = Enhanced: able to move over 30 to 100 mph
 * 3 = Subsonic: peak velocity below Mach-1 (approximately 760 miles per hour)
 * 4 = Speed of sound: peak velocity between Mach-1 to Mach-2
 * 5 = Supersonic: peak velocity between Mach-2 to Orbital Velocity approximately 17,000 mph)
 * 6 = Speed of light: peak velocity up to 186,000 miles per second
 * 7 = Warp speed: transcending light speed

Durability
The ability to resist or recover from bodily injury
 * 0 = Weak: minor blows can be fatal

 * 4 = Regenerative: decapitation or various energies can be fatal
 * 5 = Bulletproof: internal damage, extreme energy or force can be fatal
 * 6 = Invulnerable: cosmic, magical, and chi energy or attacks from beings with similar status can be fatal
 * 7 = Virtually Indestructible: attacks from beings with similar status can be fatal

Energy Projection
The ability to discharge energy
 * 0 = None
 * 1 = Ability to discharge energy on contact
 * 2 = Short range, duration, single energy type
 * 3 = Medium range, medium duration, single energy type
 * 4 = Long range, long duration, single energy type
 * 5 = Expanding range, can discharge massive amounts of energy in the vicinity (or beyond) at once
 * 6 = Able to discharge multiple forms of energy
 * 7 = Virtually unlimited command of all forms of energy

Fighting Skills
Proficiency in combat (hand-to-hand battles, tactical decisions, etc.)
 * 0 = None
