Explanation of Terms **IMPORTANT**

HP-Hit Points. Run out of these and your character falls unconscious. Unless otherwise stated, this decreases last.
SDC-Structural Damage Capacity. It indicates how much damage a person or object can take before it starts taking life-threatening damage. Depleted before HP.
MDC-Mega Damage Capacity. It is sort of like "Armor" to a person, depleted usually before HP or SDC. Unless otherwise stated, attacks that do 1 damage to MDC do 100 damage to SDC or HP. An exception to this rule is "Charged Physical Attacks".

PS = The strength attribute.
PP = The prowess attribute.
PE = The Endurance attribute
ISP = Ki
PB = The body attribute

PPE = Unsure of what it can mean, but left it in for the sake of completeness (some races need it, like the Nameks).

ME = Mental attribute that allows Saiyans to possibly take SSJ5 form.
MA = Mental attribute that, I assume, has something to do with psychic abilities.
I.Q. = Determines how many points it will take for a character to learn an attack.
