ATTRIBUTE SCORES  (Access and Power)

Every Troubleshooter knows there are two attributes:  ACCESS and POWER. However, knowledge of any person's specific attribute rating is treason.  (This includes knowledge of your own scores, although your score will be somewhere between 8-20 for Power and 1-5 for Access.)

ACCESS: Helps you get things done in Alpha Complex bureaucracy.

POWER: The strength of your mutant power.

Remember that low rolls are good; high rolls are bad.
