Powers

Powers are things your character can have outside the usual bounds. Every Class and Species has Powers unavailable to other Classes and Species. They're the deeper mysteries of adventurers; some are very potent and consequently less common than Skills. Powers do not cost Skill Points; characters are awarded Powers as they move up in level.

Powers*Powers with this notation can be taken multiple times.

Powers do not function like skills they are always considered to be in effect. Powers either give characters’ access to a new ability or change the function of a skill they already have. At 1st level, all characters start with 1 power, and they gain an additional power at 4th level and every 4 levels after, i.e., 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th, Etc… In addition to the normal powers, every 10 levels players will gain an extra power that can only be used for a power that is species specific, Humans are the exception to this they can pick any power they have the prerequisites for. If a power has prerequisites, then all must be met before the power can be purchased. All powers can only be purchased one time unless noted otherwise. Unless indicated otherwise powers that have a daily use cannot be used simultaneously.

Acrobatics Prerequisite: Dodge This power allows the character to get the most out of every opportunity. Whenever they use a skill from their Defensive tree they gain a Barrier effect, these points do not stack with themselves and are the first to be lost.

Ambidexterity Prerequisite: None This power reflects a character natural skill with both hands, this grants them the following abilities: they can move their Focus and Precision bonus damage to either hand, though this takes a 5 counted action and lasts until the end of combat. Additionally, while wield a weapon in each hand their flurry limit increases by 1, to 4 swings.

Amp Prerequisite: Bard When wielding an instrument weapon, the Base Weapon Damage is increased by 1 point.

Amplify Barrier Prerequisite: Spellblade This power increases the effect of the characters Barrier skill. The skill will now absorb 40 points of damage instead of the normal 20 points.

Animal Speech Prerequisite: Caller This power allows the character to talk normally while shape changed, as well as will let them communicate with animals of similar breed. This does not allow spell casting or using magic items that require speech to activate.

Arcane Study Prerequisite: Spell Devotion Elves have always been known for their link and skill when it comes to magic, and as such, the power improves upon their magical ability. This power increases the characters Spell Pool by 10 points.

Armor Efficiency Prerequisite: Armor Proficiency This power allows the character to get the most out of the armor they wear. This will increase the armor gained from a phys-rep by 1 tier of armor, Example a suit that qualifies as a Medium Armor would be valued as Heavy Armor while worn. The character is still limited to their maximum armor value.

Armor Proficiency Prerequisite: None This power increases the maximum amount of armor a character can wear by 1 Tier. Example: A Rogue with this power could wear up to Medium Armor, instead of being limited to Light Armor.

Aspect Mastery Prerequisite: Caller This power causes Aspects that the player casts to have the duration doubled. It is up to the caster to inform the recipient of the effect.

Athletics* Prerequisite: None You have spent time working out and training your body to go further than the average person. This Power increases the characters Base Strength by +2 for performing Feats of Strength. The Strength gained from this Power will stack with itself; for example, if a character has taken Athletics 3 times, they will have an additional +6 Strength for performing Feats of Strength.

Blindsense Prerequisites: Deep Elf While darkness is a hindrance to the sighted, you have spent years training your other senses to counteract the effects. You take no negative from the Blind effect; additionally, do not suffer penalties on Contested Rolls for darkness or lack of vision.

Born Grappler* Prerequisites: Half-Troll and Lengthen Claws This power allows the character to use their claws to grab their opponents and squeeze them into submission. Twice each reset, the character can use Binding Strike with a 6 counted action, and the resulting effect reduces the target to -1 Body Points. This can only be performed with claws and is considered to be a Base Strength of +4 for the purposes of foes’ ability to Break Free.

Bulwark Prerequisites: Strong Arm, Champion This power improves upon the champions’ prowess with their shield, allowing them to block more types of attacks than normal. Bulwark allows them to now block, with their shield or via another technique such as Deflect or Parry where applicable, any attack with the Elemental vector.

Called Shot Prerequisite: Ranger When a character uses their Hunter’s Mark skill to deal only damage, not adding a Technique, they receive a +10 Base Weapon Damage bonus instead of the normal +5 bonus.

Call the Beast* Prerequisite: Rok’Shen This power allows the character to unleash their ancestral nature for a brief time. When used, the effect is determined by what type of animal they are; Large powerful animal types gain +4 Base Strength for 10 minutes, Smaller more agile animal types take Reduced: Half damage for the duration. This power can be used once each reset.

Decompose - As fungus is usually formed through a form of decomposition Myconids have similar abilities. This allows them to quickly decompose a body to heal themselves. This requires you to be in contact with a corpse that can naturally decay. If you remain in contact with the body for a minute you regain up to 4 body points, up to their Maximum, though in some cases larger creatures may temporarily increase the Max body for 1 hour. (this is up to plot discretion) or regenerate one body part. this process completely destroys the body.

Using this power takes 15 minutes of concentration and the Ents must be in a circle gently swaying. The Ents use this time to discuss and pool their knowledge; at the end of this they may ask a question of the world. This communion draws information from the world itself and because of this it may take some amount of time to receive the answer.

Extended Martial Training Prerequisite: Monk This power allows the character to treat all of their Class Weapon Proficiencies as Brawl weapons.

Family Weapon Prerequisite: Oathbound This power grants the character a masterfully crafted weapon that has been passed down through the ages. When the weapon is passed, their oath protects it. The weapon is chosen when this power is taken and will be tagged as such. The weapon is Immune to effects that would apply the Broken status to the item. Furthermore, when the character is wielding the weapon that weapon cannot be Disarmed. While the weapon will never expire, any effects added to it will carry their own expirations.

When fighting creatures of the chosen type the character gains the Bane effect, giving them +5 Temporary Weapon Damage against those targets. Or this power can affect Spell Pool. This will increase the damage of each Spell Pool attack by 5 points; however, this will only apply to castings of 10 points or more Spell Pool.

Improved Concentration Prerequisite: None This power improves the characters’ ability to stay focused on a task even with outside disturbance.

This will allow a character refitting their Dexterity or Natural armor to maintain their concentration instead of being interrupted by incoming damage.

Improved Familiar Prerequisite: Create Familiar This power allows the character to manifest a more powerful Familiar. Granting them 5 points of Spell Pool and a benefit based on the flavor of the familiar. Flavor must be chosen at check in and noted on Player Character card.

Iron Will* This power allows the character to shrug off a mental attack. This can be used twice each reset.

Kintsugi Barrier Prerequisite: Spellblade This power modifies the Barrier skill for a spell blade. With this power, the spell blade's armor is refit upon the use of their Barrier skill.

Limb Breaker - This power unlocks the purchase of the Maim Limb skill for the Warrior at the cost of 6 SP. Each use of the skill will cost 3 Energy.

Limber Form Prerequisite: Rok’ Shen This power allows the character to twist and contort their form granting them a few advantages. First, with a 60 counted action the character can break free of Pin, Bind, and Web effects in addition to non-magical bindings, Secondly, the character can squeeze through narrow openings.

Living Armor Prerequisite: School of Spirit This power allows the character to use their Spell Pool (Healing) to fix damaged suits of armor. They can use their Spell Pool with an altered incant “I Summon X Armor.” This change allows them to heal Body Points or Armor Points. Healing a suit of armor to its maximum value will Repair the armor.

Longshot Prerequisite: Gunslinger Longshot reduces by one the Grit cost of any Rifle shot taken at twenty feet or farther. Longshot takes effect on hit, not on intent; if you're aiming for a healer 25' away but instead hit his fighter 15' away, Longshot doesn't trigger and the shot costs full price. 20' is admittedly a little fuzzy to compute on the fly in combat; Marshals should be able to discern between a shot taken at decent range and the more usual close-range dart. (Also, laser tape measures are out there that'll nail this to within a couple millimeters and I'm working out the tech to make those practical modifications to Nerf rifles.)

Lock Expert: Through your constant exposure to locking mechanisms and the linear nature of those mechanisms you have become adept at picking most mundane locks. Twice per reset open any lock for which you have at least a 20% chance once modifiers are tabulated, you may choose to automatically succeed on a disable device attempt.

Main Gauche' Prerequisite: Florentine This power gives a character, while fighting with two weapons, an off handed strike whenever they use a skill from a Defensive Technique.

This ability can only be used while fighting with two weapons.

Magic Staff Prerequisite: One-Hand Block This power allows the character to use a Staff as a wand, instead of a Short Blunt.

Magical Training Prerequisite: A class that does not have access to magic. This power allows the character to be trained in the very basics of magic. When taken the player must choose a School of magic Elemental, Spirit, or Nature; Paladin and Spellblade spells are not in 'schools' and thus cannot be chosen. Once a School is chosen it cannot be changed. The character can now use Scrolls from that School up to 6th level following the normal rules for using runes.

Master Craftsman Prerequisite: An Advanced Production skill This power allows the character to produce two identical items at the same time, when creating goods in-game. You must still pay the Component price for both items.

Make It Work* Prerequisites: Gnomish Talent All Gnomes were born with the mindset that everything can function with a little kick. With this power once each reset the character can use any Engineering item even if they don't have the normal skill to do so. This includes setting traps, throwing bombs, disarming traps, and even solving physical puzzles. 

Martial Style Prerequisite: Monk, 4th Character Level With extensive training the character has mastered a favored style in which they fight. By specializing on this style, they are granted a static bonus.

Mantis Style- Grants 1 Additional swing to their Flurry limit.

Bull Style- Grants +1 Base Weapon Damage with Brawl weapons.

Master of the Wilds Prerequisite: Caller This power allows the character to now affect 2 additional targets when they cast Aspects.

Master Smithing Prerequisite: Dwarf and Advanced Smithing This power allows the dwarf to hone his skills; all weapons made by the character automatically receive 1Temper for free. Additionally, they can melt down weapons for half the crafting components (Common and Uncommon) it takes to make the item so long as the item has at least 3 months remaining on the duration. Also some Rare components may be gained if they were used to make the item (the number is a percentage of the remaining duration).

Mentor Prerequisite: 1st Character Level, can only be taken at character creation While you have a standard education like many adventurers there was someone along the way who took a shining to you. It could have been a relative, a teacher, a blacksmith, or even a local knight; no matter who it is, they have some kind of specialized training. You may begin play with one Advanced skill, and once each event, you can seek out your mentor to help you along in your career and they can perform one of the following tasks: Give you a single instruction session in one skill, Research a single question for you, or craft 4 basic items for you.

Merciful Strike Prerequisite: Brawl, Monk This power allows the character to add the “Padded” flavor to their melee weapon attacks.

Mighty Fury Prerequisite: Guardian This power increases the potency of the characters Primal Fury power. While active they additionally gain 4 Blade Effects that are +5 Temporary Weapon Damage and Critical.

Might of the Tiger Prerequisite: Deep Elf Much as when the Tiger carried the Sage until he died, you are a symbol of his feat. When moving a downed/Helpless ally you are considered to have +2 Base Strength. This strength can also be called to overcome challenges (physical) that endanger the Deep Elf in addition to his allies. You are recognized as a champion of your people. Reactions from Deep Elf NPCs will be affected as such. This means your actions will be more noticed, both good and bad.

Natural Hunter Prerequisite: Felis This power improves the character’s scent and vision to an extreme level, allowing them a few advantages; first the character can spend a 10 counted action sniffing an item and can determine if the item contains any toxins, second, they receive a +1 Bonus on tracking Contested Rolls, and lastly at night or in dark lighting conditions the player will always get a species description of a target when they ask the question “What do I see”.

Noxious Spores - Some Myconids have developed a better defense against those who startle them. Once per reset you may upgrade your Blinding Spores to Poison Nausea Aura.

Oathbound Prerequisite: Dwarf This power binds the character to his word making it unbreakable. A character with this power who takes an oath will not break that oath even if it means death. Due to this frame of mind the character gains immunity to Command effects.

One with the Land*Prerequisite: Ent This power allows the character to generate any effect from the Knowledge Nature chart in Appendix 2, twice each reset. They do not need the Knowledge Nature skill to use the power.

Only when called Prerequisite: Paladin This power renders a Paladin immune to the Curse of Death effect, regardless of how it's generated or applied. For a second purchase, a Paladin can also remove Curse of Death from someone else, once per reset.

Overwhelming Power Prerequisites: Warrior and Overpower This power grants the character an additional +1 Base Strength when wielding a Great Weapon. Additionally, their Blitz skill grants the Massive Modifier when used. This is not limited only to Great Weapons; however, a Great Weapon must still be in hand to gain this effect on Blitz.

Pack Mentality* Prerequisite: Rok’Shen This power awakens in the character their nature to hunt with a pack. Once each reset the character can use a Natural version of the Wolf Pack spell, allowing the character and up to 10 allies to Flee. This is announced as "Natural Wolf Pack!" and follows the normal rules for the Wolf Pack spell.

Photosynthesis Prerequisites: Ent This power allows Ents to regenerate their Body Points. To use this power, the character must stand in a 'tree position' with arms outstretched towards the sky for the duration and maintain concentration. For each minute they will regain up to 4 Body Points, up to their maximum. This power can only be used outdoors, in daylight (clouds will not stop you, but rain will).

Point Blank Prerequisite: Combat Archery This power allows the character to continue to fire a bow while blocking with it, once the bow has been struck 5times, it will become unstrung and needs to be restrung as normal.

Potent Blood Prerequisite: Dwarf When the character uses their Resist Toxin skill they heal 5 Body Points in addition to negating the effect.

Pounce Prerequisites: Felis This power allows the character to make an attack that duplicates the Knockdown skill. This can be used once each reset, and the call is the same as the skill.

Power Chord Prerequisite: Bard When wielding an instrument weapon, the character can deliver their Dirges at range with the Voice Delivery Type.

Preparation Prerequisite: Ambush This power allows the character to always leave Hide instantly and gains the benefits of adding “Surprise” Modifier to their next attack.

Royalty Candidate Prerequisites: Deep Elf, 10th Character Level You gain a weapon skill of your choice, Knowledge (Nobility) x1, Survival x 1, and Adrenaline Rush x1 at no Skill point cost. You are a strong candidate for Tson’chi royalty. This is something you and your rivals are aware of…. Good luck.

Researcher Prerequisite: At least one Knowledge (Area) at Rank 4 Bookworm does not quite cover your commitment to knowledge. When doing BGA’s (Between Game Action) you can research 2 questions with a single action. Additionally, characters with an Advanced Production skill may also research up to two Advanced Recipes at the same time, instead of only one, though each takes a BGA action each month.

Resilient* you have had more near-death experiences than a blind bull fighter; you have been blown up, burned, taken shrapnel, and fate knows what else. Once each reset when an attack would reduce your Body Points to 0 or lower you can call “Resilient” as a defense and be left at 1 Body Point and ignore any other effect the attack may have had. This is a Passive skill and can be used once each reset.

Right Between the Eyes Prerequisite: Gunslinger Right Between the Eyes provides a Double Attack on a single shot (explicitly incompatible with Fan the Hammer), allowing it to punch through one defense. This works twice per reset, and can be purchased multiple times if you keep running into dodgy little bastards.
