Order and Attunement Abilities
Alarm
On the watch you can never let your guard down, not even for one second. Gain Resist Ambush/Sleep/Charm/Command twice each reset.
Amplify Mind
This ability allows the character to unlock inner reserves of power within a target’s mind. By spending 10 minutes of concentration with another character, this ability will restore one of the following: 1 Time per Reset skill, up to 4 Energy or 8 Mana. This cannot target the character using this ability. This ability costs 5 Psionic Points.
Ancient Lore 1
The Loremaster uncovers hidden and true knowledge; they can purchase the first rank of Rare Knowledge (Area) skills without requiring an instruction. Additionally, the player can choose 3 Common Knowledge (Areas) to become favored and receive a 1 SP discount on purchasing ranks, these cannot already be favored from the Scholar Background.
Ancient Lore 2
The Loremaster uncovers hidden and true knowledge; they can purchase the second rank of Rare Knowledge (Area) skills without requiring an instruction. Additionally, the player can choose 3 Common Knowledge (Areas) (6 Total) to become favored and receive a 1 SP discount on purchasing ranks, these cannot already be favored from the Scholar Background.
Ancient Wisdom
This ability has two functions. First it can be used to gather information similar to Knowledge Areas; during an encounter if a Plot Marshal asks if anyone has a certain Common Knowledge skill you can spend a 60 count action to tap into the Myst, at the end of the count you will gain at least part of the information that could be garnered; in the case of a Rare Knowledge the count is 120 as you have to reach farther to find the hidden answers. Second this ability allows you to have one question per month answered as honestly and completely as possible, about a plotline or story, by plot. This is not perfect; be warned that answers regarding deliberately concealed information may be hazy or useless. If this feature is used during an event it will take 1 hour of meditation after the question has been given to plot, this represent you reaching into the Myst to see the possible fates to find the answer and gives plot time to get your answer together.
Animal Form
This ability allows the character to assume the form of their breed creature, requiring a 10 counted action to change in and out of. Unlike the Caller’s Shifter Class Feature, the character’s gear does not change with them, so turning into a raccoon might make it hard to move their gear. While the change does not grant any special ability per se, the character can function in any manner that natural creature has at their disposal. Additionally, the character can use any of their skills in which they still meet all the requirements to function.
Arcane Banish
This ability functions as the Banish effect, sending an extra Planar creature back to its plane of origin.
Arcane Freedom
As the breaker of bonds you have become difficult to bring down. This ability can be used on the character per the normal functions of the effect; alternatively, if the character is not currently under any negative effect this ability can instead be used as "Everyone in the sound of my voice Arcane Freedom"
Ascension
This ability cannot be obtained between games, and can only be obtained during an event and only after the character takes part in an In Game RP encounter for their power base. Once a character has completed the necessary IG actions, they receive this ability, and the following applies: The character becomes an Outsider, meaning they are susceptible to Banish. Their body and metabolism are so altered that they are not affected by Paralyze, Sleep, and Stun, and can no longer be the target of First Aid or Diagnose unless the character attempting to use First Aid or Diagnose has Knowledge (Planes) Rank 5.
Awakened Spirit
When the body fails, a pure spirit remains. An Ascetic with this power cannot be rendered Unconscious. Effects that produce Unconsciousness (Sleep, Slumber, etc) still render the Ascetic helpless, but they will remain fully awake and aware for the entire duration. This explicitly includes death counts and time spent as a spirit on the way to the life well. At rank 7 the character no longer requires sleep each day; only prayer and meditation. This must be noted on the Marshal Notes, as the Marshal in the case of a Cabin Raid will wake up a player with this power.
Bane Elemental/Fey
This ability allows the character to deal +5 Temporary Damage with their weapons to Elementals or Fey. This ability lasts for 5 minutes or one Encounter, and is activated by announcing either "Bane Elemental" or "Bane Fey", so that it is known which type of monsters are receiving the bonus damage from Bane.
Beast Mode
This ability allows the character to awaken the primal essence of the beast within them. When activated, the character gains the following effects for the duration: +2 Permanent Weapon Damage with Claws, Evade x 3, Natural Fear Strike x 2. This ability lasts for one hour or Module.
Beast Stride
This ability allows the character to travel in natural terrain without disrupting the plant life. This has two benefits; animals do not notice your tracks as a threat, and when being tracked in a natural setting the penalties are doubled.
Befuddle
Part of the Wildlings’ nature is that their whims and wiles drive them, and that flightiness can have sway on others, especially when focused. This ability allows the character to use Arcane Feeblemind delivered with a packet. On the plane of Essence, the Delivery Type of this ability changes from Arcane to Magic.
Blacklight
The colony has fully infected the character’s mind and has altered their body as well. Once each reset the colony can take over, turning the character’s physical form into that of a Swarm. While active, the character gains Damage Cap 1, Resist (Physical/Magic/Toxin) x 2, and they are Immune to Mental Effects. More importantly, this may be activated Passively, as a response to effects that would affect the character normally, but not affect a Swarm; such as: if Ambushed, this can be called this as a response to defeat the Ambush and activate this ability. This ability lasts for 5 minutes or 1 Encounter.
Blind Traveler’s Sutra
As the first step of training, all must learn to focus their inner will and navigate the Myst to reach the Monastery. This is often the stepping stone on which other abilities are developed. This Sutra takes 20 minutes of meditation to perform, after which the players goes out of game to NPC camp to speak with plot. The journey to and from the Monastery is not a quick one and can take up to an hour round trip. Additionally, once a character has their rank 5 ability they can expend a use of Iron Will to reduce the meditation time to 1 minute. Once a character has mastered rank 10 this ability can be used to travel to almost any location (on the Prime and Inner Plane, and possibly other planes), at the approval of plot.
Blinding Speed
This ability has two functions; first, it allows the character to expend one of their Flee abilities to move to a location they are aware of on this plane and is with 10 miles of their location. Second, because they can naturally move with amazing speed, they can also perceive similar things. When used, they can expend a Flee to call “No Effect” to a target’s use of Conceal; allowing them to continue attacking the Concealed target. The first function of this ability can only be used at night, and so long as it is not a new moon.
Body of Perfection
Through deep meditation in the harshest of elements, the character has gained focus over their physical form allowing them to overcome and ignore the minor planer effects of the Inner Planes. Once the character has gained their Rank 8 ability this effect becomes more powerful, allowing them to ignore minor and standard planer effects of the Inner Planes, as well as minor planer effects of all other planes (River, Void, Acheron, etc.) Additionally, the character can expend a use of Iron Will to extend this protection to two allies.
Bonded Weapon
Each Kensai has a weapon that they are bonded to; this bond is where they derive their chi and strength. The bond is so strong that should the weapon be lost or destroyed they lose all Kensai abilities until they personally rebuild the weapon with Smithing. Additionally, Kensai abilities with the # notation can only be used with their bonded weapon.
I – Once each reset the characters bonded weapon can gain the carrier Magic for 5 minutes or an encounter. If the character has the Aura Blade skill the duration is increased to 1 hour.
II –A bonded weapon is the manifestation of the character’s power; as such it is also a conduit. Once each reset the character can spend 30 minutes in meditation to refocus their chi with their weapon, doing so allows the character to give the bonded weapon the weapon flavor, Silver, Cold Iron, or Magic, for the next 24 hours. Additionally, the Aura Blade skill gains added effect when used with the bonded weapon; instead of only granting the Magic Flavor Carrier, the character also gains 6 Blade effects (+5 Temporary Damage) that must be used during the duration.
III – By this point the character has fully bonded with their chosen weapon making it an extension of the character. The bonded weapon is always considered to be Honed. Additionally, using the Aura Blade skill will activate the bonded weapon's full potential; while active, the effect of Blitz will be cause the appropriate number of swings to deal +10 Temporary Damage, instead of its normal +5 Temporary Damage bonus.
Call to Spirits
This ability allows the character to sense and communicate with dormant spirits. This ability can be used twice each reset in one of the following ways: First it can be used as a Detect Spirit announced as “Are there any spirits in the sound of my voice”, this will ping anything with a spirit even hidden/invisible targets. While it does not reveal them you are aware they are present and roughly where. Second they can speak to lesser spirits that live in all objects. This allows them to ask one question of an object. Note – most objects will have very low intelligence.
Caravan Master
Your training in leading goes far beyond just battle, but also in the assurance of safe passage. When leading others to a location that you have traveled to before you ignore natural terrain hazards (by avoiding them) and you can invoke the Warning Signs skill once each journey.
Carrier at Will
The character has the ability to add a Flavor Carrier to their weapon swings as they choose. Warders will have their carrier flavor based on their egg; Planar Champions will have their Flavor Carrier based on the following Inner Plane grants Fire, Stone, Water, or Wind, Acheron grants Shadow, and Abyss grants Silver(Astral Fire).
Chase
Letting the mark get away is not an option for several reasons, and because of this you have learned how to give chase in almost any circumstance. Once each reset the character can use this ability to follow a target that has escaped, including magical means such as Teleport. This must be used within 5 minutes of the target leaving the Encounter, and gives no information about where they will end up. This will only transport the character using the ability, but may also transport up to 5 other targets so long as they are also Iron Star Mercenaries.
Chi Warlord
The character has not only learned to focus their power through their weapon but also through their presence. Once each reset they can bolster those around him granting Immunity to Charm effects. Additionally, it reduces the Energy cost of their offensive Techniques by 1; to a minimum of 1 for all allies for the Encounter.
Chi Projection

Combat Focus (Renamed Inspiration)
This ability gives the character extreme focus for 5 minutes or one Encounter, granting either +1 Permanent Weapon Damage, or 25 additional Spell Pool points while it is active.

Ezhaustion Strike
This ability allows the character to deliver a blow to a target that has almost instant and lasting effects. This attack is delivered with the call "Exhaustion Strike” and a single weapon swing hit or miss. This will cause the affected target to be unable to move faster than a walking pace and cannot use Flee/Wolfpack.
Dark Phase
This ability works just as the Phase monster power, except that it can only be used at night, in heavy shadows, or in darkness.
Deconstruct
Those who have truly mastered their art hold this ability, they have learned not only how to build but how to break anything, for everything is made up of the same energy. This ability can be used on any loose item, up to 8 sq.ft., or against golem creatures.

Diffusion of Body
This ability allows the character to remove all status effects from their person and instantly assume an Arcane Gaseous Form. This can be used so long as the character is under their own control, and conscious. This ability can be used once each reset, however the character can expend an Iron Will for an additional use.
Discern Location

Double Attack

The character may then call "Double Attack", forcing the target to defend again or suffer the effect of the attack.
Drop of Blood
The viral load in your blood can repair your body to a usable-if-not-perfect standard, given even a drop of blood from which to work. This passively counters effects that destroy your body which would prevent you from receiving a Life effect. Additionally, if you have the Self-Stabilize power it sets you to 1 Body Point instead of 0.

These times are inclusive, so all benefits up to the time bracket spent concentrating are gained.
Inconspicuous
One of the first gifts to take hold isthe ability for the character to alter their body’s appearance. This ability allows the character to alter their base appearance in minor ways: eye color, hair color, height, and even weight can be altered a small amount. While this may not seem like a big deal, it makes it virtually impossible to identify the character based on just a description. Those who have interacted with the character for an extended period of time would still recognize them, but for a stranger there is no chance.
Infected Understanding
A Plaguebearer can tell at a glance what’s wrong with someone - they've probably had the same thing wrong with them before, more than once.This acts as the Diagnose skill, except that it has no prerequisites and can be used at any distance where you do not have to yell for your target to know it’s happening.
Inflict ??

By the time the character has reached this level of training, they have done more than a small amount of traveling. The character can never truly become lost and is always able to backtrack their journeys to the starting point.
Lay Hands
This ability functions exactly as the Paladin class feature, with the exception that the Order power is only usable a limited number of times each reset based on the character's rank in the Seven Shields.
Leader’s Wisdom
Both on and off the battlefield it is a leader's duty to offer guidance and to boost morale. By working with another character who is performing a counted action, the Pack Master can reduce the time by 50%.
Link Body
This ability combines the caster and a target’s base Body Point totals together, and then divides them equally for the duration. (Example: Caster has 30 Body Points and the target has 14 Body Points. While this effect is active, their Body Point totals would change to 22 for each of them.) This ability requires 5 minutes of concentration to forge the link, which once created, will last for one hour or Module.
Linked Resurrection
This ability allows the character and others to join their skill of Resurrection together for a more powerful effect. This can be used with any number of Riverwalkers, and can include up to 1 Non-Riverwalker. The total number of ranks of Resurrection is added together, however only one character who is leading the resurrection can gain the benefits of Improved Resurrection, all others only add their purchased skill ranks.

When activated, the character visibly ignites with blue fire as the ether they are channeling becomes so strong and volatile it takes on an appearance; causing all spells cast to be delivered as Arcane, however, each spell cast as such consumes 1 maximum Body Point from the character. This loss of Body Points cannot be healed, as it is reducing their maximum Body Points, and if the character's maximum Body Points are reduced to 0, they instantly dissipate.

Shared Minor Lineage

Shield Against the Impure
An Ascetic with this ability has forsworn greed and false treasure, and in doing so has gained a measure of power over the wondrous. This ability allows the character to turn aside special weaponry in two ways: first, it strips all Flavor Carriers and Effect Carriers from melee weapon attacks, except for Critical, Massive, and Surprise; second, the character gains Threshold 4.

This ability may be hard to use on in town random monsters but can be used on Modules with little issue. While this will not get you a copy of the monster card, it will give you good information, which could greatly turn an upcoming battle: I.E. rough Body Point totals, their approx. damage and some offensive/defensive abilities. This ability can be used once each reset for each rank of Knowledge (Warfare) the character has purchased.
Smite
This ability allows the character to deliver a heavy blow against their target. It is used by calling "Arcane Smite" and landing a legal weapon blow. This attack deal 100 points of Spirit flavored damage to the target. This attack is delivered with a weapon and is one swing, hit or miss.
Speak with Nature
This ability allows the character to communicate on a very basic level with natural animals and plants.

Spell Turning

If the character does not have the Spell Turning skill, then this ability allows them to now use that skill as though they had purchased it, but do not gain the additional Ley Point. If the character already has Spell Turning, then this ability changes how it can be used: For 1 Ley Point, damage with the Magic Delivery Type can be turned; for 2 Ley Points, normally incanted spells or effects with the Magic Delivery Type that appear on the Spell Lists in the Magic and Spell Casting section can be turned; for 3 Ley Points, effects with the Magic Delivery Type that do not appear on the Spell Lists can be turned; and for 4 Ley Points, effects with the Arcane Delivery Type that appear on the Spell Lists can be turned.

This Natural Armor may be readjusted with 60 seconds of concentration or healed as normal. It may stack with manufactured armor, but the combination cannot exceed the maximum total allowed by class and other powers. At Ascetic rank 5, the character can no longer wear mansfactured armor, as they cast off the last of their physical ties. At this point, once an Ascetic has gained sufficient rank to equal or exceed their class armor maximum, they continue to gain Natural Armor from this ability, exceeding their class maximum. Additionally, this ability extends to the Ascetic’s weaponry, granting them a Weapon Ward once each reset each time this ability is earned.
Spirit Touch

Strengthened Spirit
This ability extends the character's death count by 10 minutes; making it 14 minutes total. This does not affect the 2 minute Bleed Out count; an Ascetic may die as quickly as anyone else, but their spirit holds fast to their body long past the point when others would leave to resurrect.

· Must be a location that the weaver considers a safe sanctum for himself.
· A location assigned or granted by a grandmaster.
Sutra of Weaving
Twice eachreset, a Mistweaver may weave from the Mist any one piece of normal gear; a sword, a shield, a compass, a rope, or other simple item.

Other Mist items can be counted on for five minutes, but may extend longer at marshal discretion
Sutra of Wonders Realized
Each day during the Mistweaver's morning meditation, they can perform this ability. This ability allows the character to weave an exotic item from the Mist that is an extension of themselves, though they may only maintain one such item at any given time. Once chosen the item will remain until the character sleeps, 24 hours has passed, or the character resurrects. Items from this ability are automatically considered Indestructible, will not function for anyone other than the character, and should the item be unattended, it is insubstantial and cannot be touched by anyone other than the character. Most commonly these are weapons, however other items can be created this way. The following list are examples of effects that can be generated with this power. This list is left intentionally vague; don’t get out of hand, and Plot won’t have to roll their eyes.

This pool is refreshed after 5 minutes of concentration.
Way of the Sycamore
