How it fills

- First rank needs 100, and every rank after needs +30 more.
Karma System
A Conduit’s actions and state of mind shape their powers. You walk the Path of Selflessness or the Path of Selfishness. The only variable? You.
The Karma Bar
Going against your path
Once you lean one way, actions from the other side subtract from your bar.
Example: 50 PK, then you kill a civilian (10 NK), leaves you at 40 PK.
The Two Paths
| Selflessness (Good) | Selfishness (Evil) | |
|---|---|---|
| Mindset | Use your powers to help others | Humans are inferior: use your powers for yourself |
| Ranks | Protector → Guardian → Champion → Paragon → True Hero | Thug → Criminal → Bio-Terrorist → Most Wanted → Infamous |
| Powers grow toward | Incapacitating abilities | Lethal abilities |
| You lose | All lethality by Champion | All incapacitation by Bio-Terrorist |
