In the upper right corner of Page 1 and Page 2 is a health status indicator. The BODY field is an independent field and not linked to your character's maximum BODY value. The STUN and END fields are linked to your maximum STUN and Endurance. The Reset button will set these two status fields to your maximum values. The Recover button will add one recovery step to STUN and END, up to your characteristic values.

The Gear page provides space for most of a character's physical goods (weapons, armor, and equipment) as well as a list of common and marital combat maneuvers. Along the top is an accounting of your carried weight and DCV and movement penalties. The Endurance cost should be accounted for manually by deducting points from the character's health status at the end of each turn.

## Page 3: Skills
|

|

|

Characters in Heroic campaigns can have a lot of skills. On the left side of this page is room for 30 skills. The base skill chance is determined from the type of skill selected and the number of points spent. Skills 1, 5, 11, 15, 21, and 25 also include an additional skill type "Group" in their selection menus (indicated by  instead of ). When this skill type is selected points spent will be considered group levels for the next three skills listed below the group skill. In the image below, the first skill, "Spacecraft Officer," is a regular skill of type "PS." The fifth skill, "Pilot Skill Group," is a group skill level that applies +1 to the skill rolls of Combat Pilot, Systems Operation, and Sensors Operation.

Skill Enhancers reduce the cost of relevant knowledge-type skills, which are reflected in the calculated skill rolls.

The Power page can accommodate ten powers. The left and right sides have different color schemes for organizational purposes, but are otherwise the same. Each power's points and endurance costs are calculated from the base cost provided and advantages and limitations entered. A power framework is treated as its own entry as shown in the figure below. The second power "Ice Bolts" belongs to the Multipower as a variable slot. "AF" after Reduced Endurance refers to Autofire, which is an advantage chosen for this particular power.

The only trick to this page is to remember that points from Complications subtract from the total shown in the Tally Bar. Points spent on items in the Talent section (e.g., Perks) are counted along with Powers in the Tally Bar.
