Powers

Powers are things your character can have outside the usual bounds. Every Class and Race has Powers unavailable to other Classes and Races. 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 race 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.

Additional Shift* Prerequisite: Caller This power allows the character to use their Empowered Shifting ability 2 additional times each reset.

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.

Wild Magic Prerequisites: (Caller Only) this power uses your close ties with Nature to perform sometimes stupendous effects. Once per reset you may invoke 'Wild Magic' for a beneficial effect in accordance with your needs at the time. This can be something as lowly as a purify for a downed ally, a wolf pack flee for you and your friends, a Tree Walk to get you somewhere, or any other spontaneous effect. However, much like the Paladin spell Miracle, it is not entirely up to you what the effect is and you must discuss with the marshal on hand to come to an agreement on the final effect if it is anything beyond a standard spell levels 1-9 castable by any class. In the case of duplication of a standard spell the verbal for this effect  it "Magic [spell name] wild magic"
