| Weight Class | Description | Example Traits and Abilities |
| Muggle Tier |
| Fragile Weight | Can't do things muggles take for granted. More Some have next to no combat ability and may even die if left alone for too long. These characters may rely extensively on luck, outside help or constant vigilance (assuming they aren't a burden in the first place). Note that merely being The Load or dying often doesn't put you in this weight, nor does being annoyingly dependent. This weight is for characters that are physically (or mentally) undeveloped/handicapped and cannot do what the average adult human can do. | Mouse World, Tag Along Kid, Delicate and Sickly, Made of Plasticine, Nearly Normal Animal, Companion Cube, Pathetically Weak |
| Muggle Weight | Indistinguishable from Real Life humans. More They tend to be Innocent Bystanders and (you guessed it) Muggles. Though not necessarily humans, they should be close to normal people in ability. | Ridiculously Average Guy, Action Survivor, Unfazed Everyman, Non-Action Guy |
| Iron Weight | Made of Iron Badass Normals. More Characters who can push the upper limits of what a human is capable of. They may have gotten Training from Hell, or are experts at martial arts, Good Old Fisticuffs, Gun Kata, Le Parkour, Improbable Weapon Usage and the like, or is part of the Red Shirt Army. Basically, this is a character anyone could become, bar the setting. However, note that characters don't need to be humans to be put here. This weight is also for any natural wildlife that could take down an unarmed human single-handedly. | Badass Normal, Action Hero, Non-Powered Costumed Hero, Real-Life Super Powers, Bears Are Bad News |
| Super Tier |
| Extranormal Weight | Superhuman traits, but otherwise comparable to normal humans.More Their abilities are generally very specific and limited and may be useless in some situations, rendering the characters just as helpless as normal un-powered humans. Usually, characters of this type lack the Required Secondary Powers to optimize or protect themselves from their own powers. Perhaps their only powers are to cancel other powers. Most of the time, their ability is something we can mimic or even surpass using common science or low-grade cybernetics. Muggles and Irons that are Beast Men or Cyborgs may also end up here. | Beast Man, Anti-Magic, Power Nullifier, Single-Power Superheroes, Inept Mage, Super-Soldier, Useless Superpowers |
| Super Weight | Characters with powers or Functional Magic.More Their powers, even if they are limited, may be used in a variety of ways, and tend to have Required Secondary Powers. Most of your run-of-the-mill Super Heroes, Shounen characters, and Mages will likely start here, possibly being pushed higher as they continue their adventures. | Magic and Powers, Our Mages Are Different, Our Monsters Are Different |
| Hyper Weight | Persons of Mass Destruction.More These characters typically can cause, stop, or reverse large scale disasters. Some can also break the laws of or flat out warp physics with their powers. A protagonist of this weight (or higher) risks becoming a God-Mode Sue, because their abilities tend to be story-breaking, making it difficult to give them a plausible challenge. That said, a protagonist at this weight can have engaging adventures, the author just has to be careful to scale the Sliding Scale of Villain Threat accordingly. | Person of Mass Destruction, Person of Mass Construction, Flying Brick, Weather Manipulation, The Archmage, Semi-Divine |
| Cosmic Tier |
| World Weight | World-class power. More These characters can affect a world or dimension (such as Earth or others comparable to it in size) either positively or negatively, or may even be a manifestation of a planet, with all that implies. Reality Warpers powerful enough to create or alter such worlds also go here. Many villains end up here, especially if they're trying to Take Over the World or are Omnicidal Maniacs, though you will find their opposite in the Messianic Archetype. | World-Wrecking Wave, World-Healing Wave, Earth-Shattering Kaboom, Planet Destroyer, Genesis Effect, Physical God |
| Cosmic Weight | Characters with cosmic-scale powers, ranging from multi-planetary to multiversal. More Characters that are this powerful aren't so much characters as forces of nature, wielding power beyond observable human science. As a kind of Cosmic Entity, they may be a Reality Warper with Reset Button abilities, an Anthropomorphic Personification on a cosmic scale, a Celestial Body, or a Sentient Cosmic Force. These characters often go about their business in the universe, unaffected by traditional conflicts, for better or worse. | Cosmic Entity, Sentient Cosmic Force, Anthropomorphic Personification, The Powers That Be |
| Author Weight | The Author or Capital-G God. More Characters in this weight class are absolutely Omnipotent and likely Omniscient. They are capable of exerting their will on all of reality, including the entire universe, the complete totality of the multiverse, the basic foundational elements of the setting, and/or even the plot itself without exception. Destiny/Fate is their play-thing. They cannot be killed/destroyed by any means. Any limits they have are self-imposed. While this weight is almost always reserved for God, the Author, and the Game Master, characters can be written for at this level. Just don't expect it to be a normal story. As a result, a character at this level is fairly rare. | Author Powers, The Omnipotent, God, Game Master |
