The formula for determining the PC's power rating vs. intelligent
magical items follows: Intelligence + Level + Ego.
Willpower
- This ability measures a character’s strength of will, ability
to resist magical forces, and sense of commitment to a cause.
A character with a high Willpower would be difficult to harm with
mind-affecting magic spells, could be quite stubborn, and would
resist interrogation.
- Magical Defense Adjustment: This modifier applies to the character's saving throws versus magical spells that affect the victim's mind — beguiling, charm, fear, hypnosis, possession, suggestion, etc. This modifier is applied automatically, without any effort on the part of the character or player making the saving throw.
- Spell Immunity: This grants those characters with extremely high Willpower scores protection from mind-affecting spells and psionic devotions and sciences which attack the character’s mind.
- Skills: This ability is important for skills such as Animal handling, Animal training, Concentration and Intimidation.

Aura
- This ability measures the strength of a character’s life force,
luck and ability to resist magic which affects the character’s
life energy, such as necromantic spells. A character with a high
Aura has a powerful life energy and is less effected by the life
sapping attacks of undead and the effects of death magic. A character
with a high Aura has a greater potential to use his mind to harness
psionic powers and may also be very lucky.

- Luck Point Bonus: This is the number of luck points a character receives in addition to those awarded by level
- Death Magic Defense Adjustment: This is the bonus a character receives to his saving throw vs. death magic and necromantic spells. The saving throw bonus can be ignored by a character who wishes to be affected by a spell.
- Skills: This ability is important for skills such as Meditative Focus, Rejuvenation and Spirit Lore.
