PHYSICAL SKILLS
Mutations can grant incredible physical abilities, but even the most powerful mutant benefits from proper training.
Physical Skills represent your body's capability, coordination, endurance, and adaptability. They determine how effectively you move through the world, overcome obstacles, and survive dangerous situations.
At the Arcadian Institute, students quickly learn that powers alone are not enough. A hero who can fly still needs balance. A teleporter still needs fitness. A powerhouse still needs endurance.
Physical Skills help transform raw potential into practical ability.
ATHLETICS
Strength, Endurance & Physical Performance
Athletics measures your overall physical fitness, stamina, and ability to perform demanding physical tasks.
Athletic characters excel at running, climbing, swimming, jumping, lifting, and other feats of strength and endurance. Whether you're scaling a skyscraper during a rescue mission or carrying an injured teammate to safety, Athletics helps determine what your body is capable of achieving.
Heroes often face challenges that cannot be solved with powers alone.
Sometimes you simply have to push yourself further than anyone thought possible.
ACROBATICS
Agility, Balance & Coordination
Acrobatics measures your ability to move with grace, precision, and control.
Characters with high Acrobatics can perform difficult jumps, maintain balance on narrow surfaces, evade hazards, and execute impressive manoeuvres in combat or exploration.
This skill is particularly valuable for speedsters, aerial mutants, martial artists, and anyone who relies on movement rather than brute force.
A skilled acrobat doesn't just move quickly.
They move beautifully.
STEALTH
Remaining Unseen
Stealth measures your ability to avoid detection through careful movement, concealment, and patience.
Stealthy characters can sneak past guards, hide from enemies, move quietly through dangerous environments, and gather information without drawing attention.
Not every mission requires a dramatic entrance.
Sometimes the greatest victory comes from ensuring nobody ever knew you were there.
SURVIVAL
Enduring the Impossible
Survival measures your ability to endure harsh environments, navigate the wilderness, and adapt to difficult circumstances.
Characters with strong Survival skills can find food and water, track creatures, build shelter, navigate unfamiliar terrain, and remain calm when isolated from civilisation.
Whether stranded in a frozen mountain range, trapped in a hostile jungle, or lost in another dimension, Survival helps ensure you make it home again.
The world can be dangerous.
Survival teaches you how to thrive within it.
UNARMED COMBAT
The Weapon You Always Carry
Unarmed Combat measures your ability to fight effectively without relying on weapons.
Characters skilled in Unarmed Combat understand striking, grappling, defensive techniques, and close-quarters fighting. This skill represents training in martial arts, self-defence, and physical discipline.
Many mutants prefer to rely on their powers, but a skilled combatant remains dangerous even when their abilities are unavailable.
Your greatest weapon may be yourself.
PHYSICAL SKILLS IN PLAY
Physical Skills influence far more than combat.
They determine how effectively your character explores the world, overcomes obstacles, survives dangerous environments, and responds to unexpected challenges.
Some heroes rely on strength.
Others rely on speed.
Others still rely on preparation and endurance.
Whatever path you choose, Physical Skills help ensure your character is ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
Remember:
Your mutation may give you extraordinary abilities.
Your Physical Skills determine how effectively you use your body to support them.
