*'''+3 Points - Broad Authority''' - The edge will function under most circumstances that would be encountered in play - for example, having the authority of the Jade Protectorate is an edge that will work with any Middle Kingdom citizens.

*'''+5 Points - Limited Authority''' - The edge applies only in a small proportion of circumstances that would be encountered in play. For example, being the Honoured Bureaucrat of Rice Paddy Allocation helps you deal with peasants, farmers and merchants, but isn't going to impress anyone else.

*'''+10 Points - Single Target''' - The edge only works on one specific target. For example, if you are the one true love of the sorcerer Ta Yu, its likely you can influence him, but that Edge isn't going to help you with anybody else at all.

*'''+3 Points - Inconvenient Responsibility''' - The responsibility won't interfere greatly with your ability to adventure, but it still troubles you from time to time. For example, if you are an officer in the Jade Protectorate, then you would be expected to obey orders from your superiors, and to uphold the law when you encounter crime.

*'''+5 Points - Arduous Responsibility''' - The edge comes with a significant responsibility that will come up almost every game session, and force you into certain actions if you want to keep the edge. For example, if you are the Emperor's concubine, then you can't leave the palace to go adventuring without his permission, and are expected to come back whenever you are called for.

*'''+10 Points - All Encompassing Responsibility''' - The responsibilities you hold take up pretty much all of your time. Unless the GM is going to set the campaign around these responsibilities, then you're probably not suitable to be a player character in this game. The Emperor's First Minister, for example, would have all encompassing responsibility.

* '''Cost 6 points: 1 Kung Fu Secret''' - The edge allows the wielder to use a certain Kung Fu Secret while he is wielding it. This is normally a Heart Secret, Shen Secret or Magic. This benefit can be bought multiple times, but at +1 points cost each time (i.e. 7 points for the second Secret, 8 for the third, etc.). The use of this secret is dependent on the edge being used.

* '''Cost 6 points: 1 Special Benefit''' - The edge allows the wielder a special benefit. This is designed between player and GM to ensure balance. For example, being the ''Imperial High General of the Protectorate'' means that the Protectorate is yours to command, with all the troops and resources it has.
