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.
