Subjective Story Benchmark • [Type] • The standard by which growth is measured in the Subjective Story • The Subjective Story Benchmark is the gauge that tells people how far along the Subjective story has progressed.

This Type item describes the nature of the measuring stick which will be used in the Subjective story.
