The Rule
Your 
Strength, 
Speed and 
Defense must all stay within 2 Sub-Tiers of each other.
- Too much Defense: you can’t lift yourself.
- Too much Speed: you become a human fireball.
- Too much Strength: you rip your arms off.
Physical Hazards
Two things limit your body: Recoil, when your stats get out of balance, and your Physical Threshold, set by your Potential.
Recoil
Having too much power without the body to handle it causes Recoil. Keep your stats balanced and you’ll be fine.

Physical Threshold
Every body has a limit to how far it can be pushed. This is your Physical Threshold, also called your Limiter.
