All playable characters and creatures include three statistical categories: Grit (representing resistant to attack), Fervor (representing effectiveness of attack) and Resolve (representing overall game life). Both Fervor and Grit are divided into six separate corresponding types: Principle of Thought (Mental), Rule of Force (Physical), Nature of Being (Emotional), Will of Spirit (Spiritual), Law of Relation (Environmental) and Unity of Life (Interpersonal).
