Overview
Might measures how hard your hero hits, how much they can carry, and how long their body holds up under strain. Because Draw Steel adds a characteristic to every power roll, Might decides how often a melee-focused hero lands the strong tier 2 and tier 3 results instead of the weak tier 1 outcome.
Tips and playstyle
Best for: Furies, melee Censors, and any hero built around a heavy martial kit. Character concepts: Gladiator turned wandering champion, laborer who found a greatsword, orc or hakaan bruiser, devil brawler with a grudge. Synergies: Martial kits that raise melee damage reward a high Might, and Intimidate lets a strong hero settle social scenes without a fight.
Frequently asked questions
Does Might matter if I am not a melee class?
Less than for a Fury, but Climb, Jump, Swim, and Endurance tests come up in exploration, and a negative Might fails them often. A 0 is a safe floor.
Can I put a 5 in Might at level 1?
No. The overall range is -2 to 5, but level 1 heroes assign a characteristic array that caps every characteristic at +2. Higher values come from advancement.
