| - | ====== Abilities ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Abilities tagged with (Melee), (Projectile) or (Area) all are considered weapons and deal (type+escalation+modifiers) damage of the selected type. All weapons inflict the Bleeding condition and critically hit (ignoring defenses) on a trigger die result of 12. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Some ability trees have associated weaknesses listed below them. Weaknesses are optional; you don't need to take the weakness to take advantage of the tree. If a creature has a weakness, they may select one ability per every three levels they have from the associated tree to equip in their loadout for free. The weakness and the selected abilities are never unequipped or transferable. Once/if a creature hits level 30 (and thus has all 10 abilities from their weakness' | ||
| - | |||
| - | Trees accessed through a weakness still count as one of your ten known trees. | ||

| - | ===== Acrobatics ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Acrobatics.** Overcome challenging terrain. | ||
| - | * **Catfall.** Greatly reduce damage from falling. | ||
| - | * **Controlled Jump.** Multitask while jumping. | ||
| - | * **Light Step.** Ignore difficult terrain. | ||
| - | * **Perfect Balance.** Balance on anything and have no penalty when doing so. | ||
| - | * **Skate.** Move freely through slippery areas. | ||
| - | * **Scale.** Become an expert climber. | ||
| - | * **Cling.** Climbing is as easy as walking. | ||
| - | * **Stunt.** Move with style. | ||
| - | * **Wall Jump.** Use walls to jump. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Acrobatics |||**Clamber: | ||
| - | | -> ^Catfall ||**Soft Landing:** Falling damage (1 point per 2 meters fallen) is applied to your Flow first instead of directly to your Endurance. \\ \\ **Parachute: | ||
| - | | -> ^Controlled Jump ||**Smooth Sailing:** You're comfortable enough jumping that you don't need to even think about it anymore while airborne. When mid-air during a particularly long jump, you can choose to spend a point of Endurance to take actions other than simply continuing to move until you land. When you do other actions mid-air, you automatically move 5 meters closer to the end of your jump's path without having to pay any additional attention to what you're doing. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Light Step ||**Ignore Difficult Terrain:** You ignore difficult terrain (sticky mud, deep snow, shifting sand, etc) by just walking across its surface without sinking in. You take no impairment to movement when on difficult terrain and enemy attacks against you do not get the normal +2 damage bonus. This benefit only applies to land-based difficult terrain- if you're swimming through water-based difficult terrain like thick weeds or whatever you still have to suffer the downsides. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Perfect Balance ||**Perfect Balance:** You can easily balance on even very difficult surfaces such as tightropes or soapy floors. While you are balancing, you take no impairment to movement. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Skate |**Inertial Push:** Any time you stop moving on a slippery area, you may immediately take another movement action for free. This second movement action does not allow you to leave the slippery area. \\ \\ **Roller Derby:** You have a pair of roller skates or similar wheeled gear. You can put on or take off your skates as an action. While you have skates on, you can treat any relatively flat, smooth area as being slippery for purposes of using Skate to get around in it, but you take an impairment to move in any area that is not mostly smooth and flat (such as stairs). | | ||
| - | | -> ^Scale ||**Improved Climbing:** You can climb anything the approximate smoothness of a brick wall or less. While you are climbing, you have an impairment to your movement and attackers gain +2 damage against you with all forms of attack. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Cling |**Perfect Climb:** You can climb anything the approximate smoothness of a pane of glass or less, meaning that there will be very few (if any) surfaces you cannot climb. You can also climb on ceilings and overhangs with the same degree of skill that you climb walls. While you are climbing, you take no impairment to movement and attackers do not gain the normal +2 damage against you. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Stunt ||**That' | ||
| - | | -> ^Wall Jump ||**Sproing Boing:** You can make jumps off of vertical surfaces as if they were horizontal ones. You don't need to be climbing the vertical surface in question to do this- jumping at a wall allows you to jump back off it in the opposite direction as soon as your first jump lands if you want. \\ \\ **Wall Run:** Having a surface for extra grip means that all jumps made off a wall can go up to 2 meters vertically instead of the normal 1 (or 5 meters vertically if you get a 20-meter running start). | | ||

| - | ===== Aircraft ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Aircraft.** You have a flying machine. | ||
| - | * **Airship.** The aircraft can fly encumbered. | ||
| - | * **Feather Fall.** The aircraft is protected from falls. | ||
| - | * **Flight Patches.** Repair tatter more quickly. | ||
| - | * **Jet Power.** Increase speed. | ||
| - | * **Sky Screamer.** Greatly increase speed. | ||
| - | * **Windcutter.** Ignore difficult terrain. | ||
| - | * **Silent Aircraft.** The aircraft moves quietly. | ||
| - | * **VTOL.** Move vertically freely. | ||
| - | * **Air Platform.** Hover in place. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Aircraft |||**On Mechanical Wings:** Aircraft are vehicles and follow all vehicle rules outlined in the Vehicles section on the Game Concepts page. Aircraft can only be used to travel through the air. You can own as many different vehicles as you want, but must purchase each chassis separately using Supply (see chart below). \\ \\ **Fuel Costs:** Flying requires a lot of energy, and all aircraft have some form of engine or power source that consumes fuel the same way that creatures consume food. Every day in which the vehicle was used requires you to either test a Fuel item or spend one Supply. \\ \\ **Always Forward:** An aircraft must constantly be moving forward in order to stay aloft. At the end of any round in which the aircraft is not moved twice by its pilot, it immediately loses 20 meters of elevation. In order to take a movement action while falling in this manner, the pilot must roll a trigger die and get a result of 7+. If the trigger die is not 9+, the action was wasted and the aircraft continues falling. A falling aircraft that hits the ground is destroyed. \\ \\ **Airfields: | ||
| - | |-> ^Airship ||**Powerful Lift:** The aircraft is designed to carry cargo, and is capable of flight even when carrying more than a light load. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Feather Fall ||**Failsafe Descent:** If the aircraft falls for any reason (Tatter exceeds current Vitality, it becomes unexpectedly encumbered, the pilot doesn' | ||
| - | |-> ^Flight Patches ||**Modular Design:** The aircraft is exceptionally easy to perform minor repairs to. Removing a point of Tatter from the aircraft takes only a single action instead of requiring several minutes. The Supply cost is unchanged. \\ \\ **Toolkit Patches:** This ability has a special synergy with the Patch Up ability from the Handyman tree. Any creature with Patch Up removing a point of Tatter from the aircraft can roll a die and ignore the Supply cost when the result is a 7+, just as if they were restoring Vitality. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Jet Power ||**Sky Roarer:** The aircraft has a more powerful and efficient engine. Its base movement rate is increased to 20. \\ \\ **High-Speed Smash:** Aircraft with the Jet Power upgrade deal damage equal to double the current Escalation when deliberately smashed into things. If this is enough to destroy the vehicle, it explodes and deals five times the current Escalation to all targets instead. \\ \\ **Super Noisy:** Moving the vehicle makes noise that alerts/ | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Sky Screamer |**Breathtaking Speed:** The aircraft is incredibly streamlined and fitted with a highly advanced engine. Every time it moves it can go up to 50 meters per action, and its traveling speed is increased to 50 regions per day. \\ \\ **Fuel Guzzler:** Fuel costs are 2 Supply per day (or testing a Fuel item twice) when Sky Screamer is used instead of the normal 1. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Windcutter |**Unhindered: | ||
| - | |-> ^Silent Aircraft ||**Whispers In The Sky:** The aircraft flies quietly and does not draw any undue attention to itself via noise, even if the Jet Power upgrade ability is also equipped. | | ||
| - | |-> ^VTOL ||**Vertical Ascent:** The aircraft can convert any amount of horizontal movement into vertical movement, even allowing it to fly directly up or down. It can take off or land anywhere that is large enough for it to fit. | | ||

| - | ===== Allure ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Allure.** Charm and seduce. | ||
| - | * **Casanova.** Your lovers aren't jealous. | ||
| - | * **Heartbreaker.** Make them cry. | ||
| - | * **Love Token.** Your lover gives you something. | ||
| - | * **Personal Magnetism.** Attract anything. | ||
| - | * **Old Flame.** Run into past lovers. | ||
| - | * **Pillow Talk.** Learn secrets from lovers. | ||
| - | * **Shamhat.** Change seductees' | ||
| - | * **Social Armor.** Make enemies reluctant to harm you. | ||
| - | * **Stride of Pride.** Getting lucky makes you lucky. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Allure |||**Charming: | ||
| - | | -> ^Casanova ||**No Jealousy:** It's clear to everybody that you aren't settling down any time soon, and they won't try to interfere with your caddish ways. You may freely use Allure to charm multiple targets simultaneously. This effect also extends to any actual affairs or trysts you engage in so long as Casanova is equipped. Note that this ability only protects you from others being jealous of **your** lack of fidelity and does not prevent you from suffering negative consequences from your partner' | ||
| - | | -> ^Heartbreaker ||**Spurn: | ||
| - | | -> ^Love Token ||**Remembrances: | ||
| - | | -> ^Old Flame ||**Fancy Seeing You Here:** Keep a list of everybody you've seduced. At any time, you can spend a point of Supply and say that a selected past lover is present during the current circumstances if it would be at all plausible for them to be there. For example, you could use Old Flame to " | ||
| - | | -> ^Personal Magnetism ||**Stupid Sexy Flanders:** You have a certain //je ne sais quoi// that makes everybody want to try and impress you. You may use Allure to inflict the Charmed condition on any creature you are capable of communicating with, not just ones that find you sexually/ | ||
| - | | -> ^Pillow Talk ||**Afterglow Admission: | ||
| - | | -> ^Shamhat ||**A Sexy Turn:** Intimacy can have a way of changing minds matched by few other social interactions. If you improve your relationship level to Bond with any subject you've seduced (whether directly through seducing them or via any other means) you change their way of thinking in some way. This might mean causing them to switch to your side in a conflict, adopting a different lifestyle of your choosing, making them give up a goal you would find detrimental, | ||
| - | | -> ^Social Armor ||**Too Pretty To Die:** Your allure makes even enemies pause, reluctant to harm you. Once per round at the beginning of your turn as a free action, you can directly address a single enemy within 10 meters with which you share a language that you have not (yet) made any offensive actions against. That enemy has a failure chance of 12 with all attacks made against you until the beginning of your next turn. Enemies that are immune to the Charmed condition for any reason are also immune to the effects of Social Armor. Once you've used an offensive action (such as an attack) against a creature, Social Armor no longer functions against them for the remainder of the current conflict. | | ||

| - | ===== Artillery (Area) ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Artillery.** Launch enormous payloads over huge distances. | ||
| - | * **Automated Artillery.** The artillery slowly reloads itself. | ||
| - | * **Big Bertha.** Crank it up to 11. | ||
| - | * **Miniaturized.** The artillery piece is more transportable. | ||
| - | * **Parts Kit.** Recreate the artillery quickly and cheaply. | ||
| - | * **Remote Strike.** You don't need to be adjacent to the piece in order to fire it. | ||
| - | * **Rockets.** Greatly increase range. | ||
| - | * **Shells.** Increase area of effect. | ||
| - | * **Warheads.** Greatly increase area of effect. | ||
| - | * **Siege Engineer.** Never misfire. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Artillery |||**Boulder Launch:** Artillery attacks hit a targeted space and all other spaces within 2 meters of it. Artillery strikes are overwhelmingly powerful, dealing +10 bonus damage to all targets and critically hitting on a 10+. \\ \\ **Long Range:** Artillery attacks can be used to target any space within 200 meters, but not any space within 20 meters. \\ \\ **Inaccuracy: | ||
| - | |-> ^Automated Artillery ||**Self-Reload: | ||
| - | |-> ^Big Bertha ||**Heavy Weapon:** The artillery is unusually large and powerful. The actual artillery piece itself is size 8 instead of size 7 (meaning that it has 100 bulk and occupies all spaces within 5 meters of its central point). Range is increased to 1 kilometer from 200, minimum range increases to 100 meters from 20, misfire distance is increased from 10 to 20, reload time increases to 50 actions from 10, and the damage bonus increases to +20 from +10. \\ \\ **Supply Eater:** Firing a Big Bertha always consumes one Supply regardless of the trigger die result. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Miniaturized ||**Smaller Package, Same Punch:** The artillery piece is size 6 instead of 7 (or 7 instead of 8 if Big Bertha is also equipped). All other statistics and effects remain the same. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Parts Kit ||**Rapid Construction: | ||
| - | |-> ^Remote Strike ||**Push The Button:** You do not need to be adjacent to your artillery in order to fire it and may do so with an action from anywhere (so long as the artillery piece is loaded and ready to fire). Range and obstacles are calculated from the actual position of the artillery piece, but you may target any location you can see from your own position. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Rockets ||**Extended Range:** Effective range of the artillery is increased from 200 meters to 1 kilometer, and misfire distance is increased from 10 meters to 20. If Big Bertha is also equipped, range becomes 10 kilometers and misfire distance is 100 meters. Minimum range is not affected. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Shells ||**Explosive Rounds:** The artillery' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Warheads |**Devastation: | ||
| - | |-> ^Siege Engineer ||**Precision Fire:** The artillery has no chance to misfire no matter what the result on the trigger die is. | | ||

| - | |||
| - | ===== Beam (Projectile) ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Beam.** Shoot a laser, heat ray or other directed energy beam. | ||
| - | * **Beam Bounce.** Redirect the beam off any flat surface. | ||
| - | * **Concentrated.** The beam has greater effective range. | ||
| - | * **Continuous Stream.** Gain bonus damage for repeatedly attacking the same target. | ||
| - | * **Dazzling.** The beam can inflict the Bleary or Blind conditions. | ||
| - | * **Invisible Beam.** Use the attack discretely. | ||
| - | * **Overclock.** Increase damage at risk of overheating. | ||
| - | * **Phased Array.** The beam penetrates atmospheric conditions. | ||
| - | * **Recharger.** The weapon does not require Supply when used sparingly. | ||
| - | * **Refraction Corrector.** The beam works in water. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Beam |||**Range: | ||
| - | |-> ^Beam Bounce ||**Reflect Off Anything:** The beam can be bounced/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Concentrated ||**Longer Range:** The beam's range is increased from 50 meters to 200 meters (500 with failure 4, 1000 with failure 8). In vacuum, the beam's range becomes 1000 meters (2000 with failure 4, 5000 with failure 8). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Continuous Stream ||**Keep 'Er Frying:** Firing the beam allows you to simply hold it in place on a target, compounding damage. When you attack a target at least twice with your beam during a round, then all beam attacks against that target on your next round deal +2 damage. If you don't attack a single subject at least twice during a round, you don't get this benefit until the round after you do. Attacks that fail for whatever reason against a target still count as attacks made and contribute to getting the benefits of Continuous Stream. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Dazzling||**Spotted Vision:** The beam attack inflicts the Bleary condition when the trigger die is 10+. If the trigger die is 12, it instead inflicts the Blind condition. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Invisible Beam ||**From A Clear Sky:** The beam's light is not on the normal visible spectrum, rendering it invisible. You can use the weapon while hiding without revealing your location. Targets getting shot by invisible beams will still react normally to getting shot at by unknown assailants, probably running for cover. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Overclock ||**Full Power:** All attacks with the beam weapon deal +5 damage above normal due to greatly increased energy discharge. However, if the trigger die result is 1-4 on any attack with the beam it suffers a heat overload and cannot be used again until you've given it time to cool down by taking at least two actions other than firing it. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Phased Array ||**Penetrator: | ||
| - | |-> ^Recharger ||**Free Lunch:** When you fire the beam weapon, it does not consume or require Supply so long as the last action you took was anything other than firing the beam weapon. Every time you fire your beam multiple times consecutively, | ||
| - | |-> ^Refraction Corrector ||**Sea Beams:** The beam functions perfectly fine in water and against targets that are in water. Murky or otherwise less-than-clear water still blocks the beam like any other form of concealment. | | ||

| - | ===== Beastmaster ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Beastmaster.** You have a pet. | ||
| - | * **Androcles.** Make lasting friendships with animals. | ||
| - | * **Dolittle.** Talk with animals. | ||
| - | * **Bestial Bond.** Possess your pet. | ||
| - | * **Locate Animal.** Find animals on demand. | ||
| - | * **Maneuvers.** Your pet repositions freely. | ||
| - | * **Menagerie.** Have multiple pets. | ||
| - | * **Rampage.** Grant your pet free attacks. | ||
| - | * **Whistle.** Call your pet. | ||
| - | * **Wild Empathy.** Soothe the savage beast. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Beastmaster |||**Pet:** You have an animal that goes adventuring with you. The animal in question can be any animal in your campaign world whose level is a maximum of 2/3 of your own (see chart below for a cheatsheet), | ||
| - | | -> ^Androcles ||**Friend of the Wild:** Your pet is always considered your friend, but Androcles makes you capable of forming and maintaining ongoing, meaningful friendships with any animals. After any positive experience you can roll to form relationships with an animal just like you could with any other NPC. Animals that you have a friendship or bond with will remember and act positively towards you like any other friend would. If you have previously befriended an animal using Androcles, you can turn it into a new pet with no Supply cost. \\ \\ **Bestial Hirelings: | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Dolittle |**Beast Tongue:** You can meaningfully communicate with animals. Animals are not terribly good at abstract thinking but will generally be happy to share their perspectives, | ||
| - | | -> ^Bestial Bond ||**Possess Animal:** You can enter a trance that places your consciousness directly into your pet, allowing you to see through their eyes and directly control their actions in order to perform complex tasks. While using Bestial Bond, you are unconscious and helpless. Your pet remains aware while you possess them and can override your control and kick you out at any time, but generally won't unless you try to make them do something clearly suicidal. \\ \\ **Ritual:** It takes a few minutes for you to go into your trance. Your pet must be in physical contact with you the whole time, but once the trance has been achieved you can have your pet leave and accomplish other tasks as normal. You cannot continuously possess your pet for more than one day at a time. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Locate Animal ||**Waiting Here:** You can name any type of animal commonly found in your current environment. One or more specimens of that animal type will show up shortly afterwards- either you run across them or they run across you. If you choose to spend a point of Supply when naming the animal type you want to meet, their reaction is shifted +2 positive steps when you meet them. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Maneuvers ||**Away To Me, Pig:** It no longer costs an action for you to give the Move command. If you're riding your pet as a mount, this completely frees up all your actions each round while your pet moves you around the battlefield | | ||
| - | | -> ^Menagerie ||**Gotta Catch 'Em All:** You can tame/ | ||
| - | | -> ^Rampage ||**Cry Havoc:** When you have a trigger die result of 10+ on any attack, your pet (if present) may make a bonus attack action of its own for free against any target you specify, even if you haven' | ||
| - | | -> ^Whistle ||**Epona' | ||
| - | | -> ^Wild Empathy ||**Disney Princess:** By speaking soothingly and offering a treat, you may spend an action and one point of Supply to inflict the Charmed condition on any animal of your own level or lower. The target cannot recover from this condition while it remains in your presence unless you act aggressively towards it and will be generally calm and docile (at least towards you and those you designate as " | ||

You can't use Footwork if you have an impairment to movement or are immobilized. | | ||

| - | ^Blizzard |||**Range and Area:** As an action, you can deploy a freezing blizzard on any space within throwing range (0-10 meters). The blizzard effect immediately strikes all creatures in the target space and all adjacent spaces. Solid barriers such as walls prevent the spread of the effect from its center point. \\ \\ **Cold-Based: | ||
| - | | -> ^Frozen Burst ||**Explosive Fury:** When the trigger die is 7+, the attack strikes the target space and all other spaces within 2 meters of its epicenter instead of the normal 1 meter. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Frozen Feet ||**Ice Down:** When the trigger die is 10+, all creatures struck by the effect gain the Stuck condition. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Icy Ground ||**Slipperify: | ||
| - | | -> ^Maintenance ||**Ongoing Storm:** At the beginning of your next turn after using a Blizzard attack, you can choose to repeat its effect. Maintaining a Blizzard is a free action, but you can only maintain one Blizzard effect at a time. Maintained blizzards repeat their attack by striking the same exact spaces as they did on the previous round but otherwise act exactly like new attacks (including rolling a new trigger die and potentially consuming Supply). | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Cold Front |**Storm Blowing In:** Every time you maintain a blizzard effect, you can choose to move its epicenter up to two meters in any direction you please. You must be able to see (or otherwise clearly sense) the target destination in order to move your Blizzard there. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Creeping Cold |**Freeze The World:** If the trigger die rolled when maintaining a blizzard is 7+, the Blizzard effect expands to fill every space adjacent to its previous borders. Continuous maintenance allows this effect to stack, hitting a progressively-larger area every time. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Polar Vortex |**Draw In:** When you maintain the Blizzard effect, it immediately pulls all creatures inside or adjacent to its area of effect one meter closer to its center. Creatures in the center or who are blocked from being pulled in further by other creatures are immune to this effect. Creatures larger than the blizzard' | ||

| - | |||
| - | ^Boss |||**You See a Bad Mother:** You don't take two actions during a turn like everybody else does. Instead, you take one action immediately after every two actions taken by your opponents during their collective turn. If you wish to perform double-action effects such as Whirlwind from the Brawl tree or a focused condition removal attempt, you may do so by forfeiting the next future action you would be entitled to. After all your opponents have gone, you gain the benefits of effects that refresh or grant a benefit once per round during your turn (such as regaining lost Flow and throwing off conditions). \\ \\ **Paid The Cost To Be The Boss:** The powerful action economy of a Boss comes at a price, or rather two prices: first, you must fight alone and unsupported by any allies. Allies that exist as a direct result of an ability you have (such as Minion, Turret, Necromancy, mercenaries hired through Networking, and so forth) do not count against this limitation and can freely be used to back you up in combat. Secondly, your Boss powers only function in a certain specific area, called your " | ||
| - | |-> ^Ammo Hax ||**OMG WTF:** When you would have to spend a point of Supply to power any ability during combat, you can ignore the cost and keep your Supply.

Ammo Hax does not function outside of battle or for any purpose other than powering abilities that have Supply costs. | | ||

Rusher does not give you free movement actions during your refresh phase, only during the regular actions you take after every two of your opponents' | ||
| - | |-> ^Telegraph ||**I Got Something For You:** During your refresh phase, you can choose to start charging up a mega-attack as a free action. This mega-attack can be made with any of your weapons, and it's very clear to all of your opponents exactly what you're doing and with what weapon you're doing it. On your next refresh phase, you must complete your telegraphed attack. You can choose any target that's within range to hit with it (if none are, the telegraphed attack is wasted). Telegraphed attacks add your level to the amount of damage dealt, making them potentially very powerful. You cannot both complete a telegraphed attack and start charging up a new one in the same refresh phase. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Turn Red ||**This Isn't Even My Final Form:** Designate one known ability from any tree per two levels you have. All abilities on this list get added to your loadout the first time you lose any Endurance due to being attacked (losing it yourself via sprinting or whatever does not trigger Turn Red). Turn Red abilities do not occupy slots in your regular loadout and are available purely as a bonus. They are unequipped automatically at the end of combat. When Turn Red triggers, you are physically changed in some way that makes it obvious you just received a power-up (it doesn' | ||

The target must be on or adjacent to a solid surface for this ability to function- midair targets with nothing nearby to be nailed to cannot be affected by Pin Down. | | ||

Firing a trick arrow consumes supply according to the rules for whatever throwable effect you fire instead of the normal rules for firing your bow.

Your alternate identity has their own name, reputation and everything required to exist (if you play in a setting with social security numbers and credit cards, your alternate identity has their own). Those who are familiar with you can still possibly recognize you when you are in the guise of your alternative identity (and thus provoke a disguise check), but no one else can. You can burn an identity at any time and create a new one in its place, but your new identity won't be available until the beginning of the next session. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Bystander ||**Harmless Chump:** Roll a disguise check at the beginning of combat. If successful (7+), enemies don't consider you a credible threat and focus on your allies instead.

Later, you can declare that some chump background character in the vicinity of the rest of your party reveals themselves as you in disguise. For instance, when your party is facing off against Lord Toastwanker you could interrupt the proceedings by saying that Toast-Henchman #3 was actually you all along and immediately stab Lord Toastwanker in the back. \\ \\ **Complications and Limits:** Roll a disguise check when you reveal yourself: if the result is a failure whoever you were impersonating immediately shows up right as you pull off the disguise (and they may have brought help). You can't choose to reveal yourself anywhere except in the vicinity of the rest of your party (so if they failed to get past the toast-guards, | ||

| - | |-> ^Entropy ||**The Downward Spiral:** You can hasten the effects of any condition that deals damage over time (Burning, Choking, Poisoned, Bleeding, Dissolving or their variants like Contagion or Curseburn). By taking an action to concentrate on any creature within 10 meters of your position that currently has one of these conditions, they immediately take damage equal to what that condition would normally apply (half current Escalation, rounded down). If the target has more than one damaging condition in place on them, they take this damage for each. Damage dealt through Entropy is considered identical to whatever damaging condition the subject has and thus ignores all defenses. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Haste Field ||**Everybody Jam:** All allies within 5 meters of you can choose to take an extra action during their turn, just like you can. Each ally that elects to do this must roll their own trigger die and spend their own Supply when the result is 1-6. | | ||

Your future self appears in any space adjacent to your current position of your choice. You control both yourself and your future self, who has the same loadout as you and all the same statistics and conditions. \\ \\ **Shared Fate:** Anything that happens to you (damage taken, conditions acquired, healing bestowed) also happens to your future self, but the reverse is not true. If either of you use Supply, it gets taken from your singular communal pool. \\ \\ **Closed Loop:** At the beginning of your next turn, both you and your future self disappear (you have been summoned back in time to help your past self.) You are completely absent from combat for the next round until the beginning of your next turn after that, whereupon you appear in the same place (or the nearest available space, if it's occupied) and in the same condition as your future self was when they disappeared. | | ||

Your counterattack is resolved immediately after the attack that triggered it. \\ \\ **All In The Timing:** If the trigger die rolled with a counterattack is a 7+, then it is a completely free action. If not, then you get one less action on your next turn. If you've already lost two action on your next turn from counterattacks, | ||

After calling somebody, you can talk with them until one or both of you wish to end the conversation. If desired, you can conference call by spending additional actions to add more creatures to the conversation. \\ \\ **Limitations: | ||
| - | | -> ^Comms Jammer ||**White Noise:** By spending an action and a point of Supply, you can set up a communications jammer.

You experience the normal limitations of location when calling such creatures. \\ \\ **Pick Up, Man:** When calling a friend that isn't expecting you, roll a trigger die. If the result is 7+, they pick up and you successfully initiate contact. If not, then your attempt fails and you have to wait at least another in-game day to try again. Friends that have their own Communications ability equipped are not subject to this limitation. Creatures with whom you have a Bond relationship always pick up with no roll required. \\ \\ **Cord Holder:** While you can contact friends and allies with the Comms Network ability, they cannot contact you of their own volition. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Meltdown ||**Critical Overload:** Every time you lose a point of Vitality for any reason (including from being dosed by radiation), you immediately dose every creature (both friend and foe) within 5 meters of your position with radiation. Meltdown radiation is outward-facing and you do not dose yourself when this happens. Note that two creatures with the Meltdown ability in close physical proximity can potentially cause a runaway chain reaction to occur by continually getting dosed, losing Vitality, and then dosing the other in turn. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Mutagenesis ||**Transmute Genome to Jello:** By spending an action and a point of supply you may bombard yourself or an adjacent target with highly mutagenic radiation, causing them to mutate immediately. When determining the exact mutation gained from Mutagenesis, | ||

| - | |||
| - | ^Deathtouch |||**Range: | ||
| - | |-> ^Culling ||**Sacrifice The Crippled:** Critically hitting on a target that is suffering from any condition deals +2 damage above normal. If the subject has an injury, bonus damage from critting is +5 instead of +2. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Death Knell ||**Inexorable End:** Every time you make a kill with a Deathtouch attack during a given combat, you deal +1 damage more than normal until the end of that combat. This effect stacks with multiple kills. As soon as combat ends/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Delayed Strike ||**Quivering Palm:** When you successfully strike a creature, you can chose to delay the hit. A delayed hit deals no damage and seemingly has no effect at all. At any later point during the battle on your turn that you desire, you can choose to unleash the delayed strike on its target. If the initial attack critically hit or had any other beneficial effect from a high trigger die result, then the delayed version also gains those bonuses. The damage of a delayed strike is calculated based on the current Escalation when it is unleashed, not when it was originally set up. You cannot delay more than a single attack at any given time. If a target with a delayed attack in place on them dies for some other reason, the delayed attack is wasted but you may delay a new attack on a different target if desired. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Multi-Delay |**Kenshiro: | ||
| - | |-> ^Doombringer ||**Fell The Mighty:** Your effective level for purposes of assassinating targets is increased by +1 for every two levels you actually have when making assassination strikes with a Deathtouch attack. For example, if you are level 6 then you can freely assassinate targets up to level 9 with this ability. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Drain Touch ||**Life Siphoning: | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Devour Life |**Life Drain:** When you critically hit with a Deathtouch attack, you immediately regain all lost Endurance. | | ||

| - | ^Decoy |||**Mirror Image:** As an action, you create an illusionary duplicate of yourself in any adjacent space that looks, moves, sounds, and acts exactly like you. You may have up to two decoys active at a time. Decoys expire naturally on their own after a day or so. If a decoy takes any amount of damage for any reason before its natural expiration, it is immediately destroyed. \\ \\ **Indistinguishable: | ||
| - | |-> ^Edged Illusion ||**Shattering Strike:** You may spend an action to use any equipped attack ability through one of your illusions instead of personally. The attack deals damage and acts in all ways completely like the real thing, but originates from the decoy' | ||
| - | |-> ^Homunculi ||**Blood Drops:** You create decoys out of your own energy rather than existing supplies. Every time you create a decoy, you can choose to spend one Endurance instead of rolling to (potentially) spend one Supply. Endurance invested in a decoy in this manner cannot be reclaimed or healed back in any way until the decoy is destroyed, but once the decoy is destroyed you instantly heal it back. You can choose to destroy a decoy (and reclaim the invested Endurance) freely at any time if desired. Creating decoys in this manner does not require you to have any Supply remaining. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Loose Crowd ||**Fan Out, Me:** Your decoys can move to any point within 5 meters of you or another decoy instead of having to stay adjacent. Decoys that stray beyond this range are still instantly destroyed. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Scattered Fakes |**Go Everywhere: | ||
| - | |-> ^Phantom Swarm ||**Bigger Crew:** You can have up to five decoys at once instead of the normal limit of only two. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Possess Decoy ||**Walking Dream:** By putting yourself in a deep slumber (a process that requires a few minutes to complete), you can possess one of your active decoys. While possessing a decoy you see through its eyes, speak through its mouth and control its actions exactly as if it was yourself. Possessed decoys are not bound by the normal rules on how far they may travel from you; while possessing a decoy you may range up to a full kilometer from your true location. If the decoy is destroyed you wake up but you remember everything that happened to it while you were possessing it. Possessed decoys are subject to all the normal limitations of decoys such as being unable to attack, being destroyed by any amount of damage, and being intangible to the touch. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Solid Decoy ||**Sensual Fake:** Your decoys have solid form rather than being simple illusions. They cannot be told apart from you through touch or any ability-granted special sense such as scent or tremorsense. | | ||

| - | |::: |-> ^Bailout Switch |**Not Here:** You can switch places with any of your decoys no matter the distance instantly at any time by spending a point of Supply, even as an immediate interrupt to an attack directed at you. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Beckon ||**Come To Me:** You can spend an action to force all creatures that you have currently inflicted the Charmed condition on (through Domination or any other method) to make a movement action to come closer to you. Charmed creatures do not need to sprint or enter obvious danger but must otherwise get as close as possible to you with a single action' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Convoke |**Gather Round:** You automatically use Beckon once as a free action at the beginning of each of your turns. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Flagellant |**Punish Thyself:** You can spend an action to force one subject charmed by you (whether via Mind Bend or any other ability that inflicts the Charmed condition) to harm themselves, removing one Vitality per three levels of the target. Flagellation bypasses Endurance and Flow and cannot be avoided or reduced in any way. Forcing a subject to self-harm in this way automatically removes the Charmed condition just like attacking them directly would. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Fratricide |**Play Claudius:** You can spend an action to force one subject charmed by you (whether via Mind Bend or any other ability that inflicts the Charmed condition) to attack any other subject you specify. You can specify which weapon the target should use or leave it up to them to decide. Attacks provoked by Fratricide are free actions and do not count against the targets' | ||
| - | |-> ^Discipline ||**Embrace Your Punishment: | ||
| - | |-> ^Enthrall ||**My New Pet:** The Charmed condition inflicted by Domination cannot be recovered from so long as you remain in the target creature' | ||
| - | |-> ^Mindbreaker ||**Clean Vessel:** If a creature dies while under the effects of a Charmed condition that you inflicted on them via Domination, roll a trigger die. If the result is 10+, they survive with 1 Vitality instead of dying but their minds are permanently shattered. Such creatures are permanently charmed by you and will generally do whatever you tell them to, but are also very clearly and irrevocably insane. If mindbroken subjects are killed a second time it's for real and they are not saved again. | | ||

| - | * **Debris.** The area of effect becomes difficult terrain. | ||
| - | * **Delayed Blast.** The blast takes longer, but is more powerful. | ||

| - | * **Emanation.** The explosive uses no Supply, but is centered on the user. | ||
| - | * **Rupture.** Use the explosive automatically when you take damage. | ||
| - | * **Expanded.** The explosion tends to fill a bigger area. | ||

| - | * **Volatile.** You sometimes explode after getting hit. | ||

| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Explosive |||**Range and Area:** Explosives can target any point within throwing range (0-10 meters). An explosive attack affects every creature in the target space and all other spaces within a distance determined by the trigger die rolled when the attack is used. If the trigger die is a 1-4, it affects all creatures within 1 meter of its origin. If the trigger die is a 5-8, it affects all creatures within 2 meters of its origin. If the trigger die is a 9-12, it affects all creatures within 5 meters of its origin. Walls and other solid barriers block the explosive from filling its entire area. \\ \\ **Powerful: | ||
| - | |-> ^Bomb Voyage ||**Explosive Finale:** You can perform assassinations with explosives so long as you meet all the normal requirements (target is Clueless and their level is equal to or less than your own). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Debris ||**Bog Down:** Every space affected by the blast becomes difficult terrain (like sticky mud, deep snow, shifting sands, or similar) until the end of combat (or for about a minute when used outside of combat). Creatures take an impairment when moving through difficult terrain and all attacks against a creature in difficult terrain deal +2 damage. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Delayed Blast ||**3... 2... 1...:** When you use the explosive, you can choose to set it to explode after a short delay of 1, 2 or 5 rounds instead of immediately. The explosion happens at the beginning of your turn after the specified number of rounds has elapsed. Explosives that have not yet gone off advertise their danger in an obvious manner (blinking lights, beeping noises, etc). \\ \\ **Enhanced Effect:** The explosive deals bonus damage based on the selected delay: +2 damage for one round, +5 damage for two rounds, and +10 for five rounds. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Depth Charge ||**Aquatic-Capable: | ||
| - | |-> ^Emanation ||**Innate: | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Rupture |**Reactive Boom:** If you take any amount of damage from any source other than damaging conditions while a Rupture ability is equipped, you automatically use the Explosive ability as an immediate reaction to whatever caused the damage. You cannot choose not to Rupture when you take damage; it'll always happen whether you want it to or not. \\ \\ **Kamikaze: | ||
| - | |-> ^Expanded ||**Bigger Blast:** The blast affects the target space and all other spaces within 2 meters when the trigger die is 1-4, within 5 meters when the trigger die is 5-8, and within 10 meters when the trigger die is 9-12. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Forceful ||**Takeoff: | ||
| - | |-> ^Mine ||**Click Boom:** You can set explosives to blow up when triggered instead of immediately. A mine occupies a space, but is not readily apparent to a casual observer. If a creature walks (or is otherwise moved, voluntarily or not) over one of your mines, it immediately explodes. A creature that takes an action to look for hidden traps will automatically spot them, as will any creature that walks slowly and carefully (taking a voluntary impairment to movement). \\ \\ **Cheap And Pre-Paid:** Roll a trigger die when you set a mine- if the result is 1-3, setting the mine cost one Supply. You cannot set mines if you have no Supply remaining. When the mine is set off, you roll another trigger die as normal but never have to spend additional Supply from the actual attack roll. \\ \\ **Remote Detonator: | ||

| - | ^Weakness: Volatile |||**Unsafe Handling:** You aren't very careful with how you store your explosives, and they tend to go off at inopportune moments. Any time you are critically hit by an attack, you must immediately use an Explosive attack centered on your current location. This attack harms you as well as anyone near you. Volatile explosions require Supply as normal and will not be triggered if you have no Supply remaining. | | ||

Extra damage is increased from +2 to +5, but Supply consumption happens on a trigger die result of 1-6 instead of 1-3. You can choose whether or not to use Double Tap on each individual shot depending on whether you are currently prioritizing damage or ammunition. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Rapid Fire |**Extra Shot:** When the trigger die is 12, you may choose to make another attack action for free. This free attack does not need to be against the same target as the original attack was. Rapid Fire can grant free attacks on any Firearm attacks, including other free attacks granted by Rapid Fire. There is no limit to how many times per round you can get a free attack from Rapid Fire except for your luck. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Piercing ||**Cover Breaking:** The attack ignores partial cover (which normally has a failure chance of 6). Total cover is treated as total concealment instead (which carries a failure chance of 8). \\ \\ **Shield Denial:** Attacks with the firearm completely ignore any Shield ability used by their target. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Piercethrough |**Lineshot: | ||

Any creature passing through or stopping in a slippery space gains the Prone condition unless they have the Acrobatics ability equipped. The oil lasts until the end of combat or for a few minutes when used outside of a combat situation. \\ \\ **Light 'Em Up:** The oily area is highly flammable. If any part of it is exposed to fire (via a subject with the Burning or Curseburn conditions or an attack capable of inflicting them, or any other circumstance involving an open flame) every contiguous oil-soaked area immediately catches on fire. Passing through or stopping in a burning space inflicts the Burning as well as Prone conditions.

This is the target area of your flamethrower strike. \\ \\ **Variable Targets:** Your flamethrower attack can hit a maximum number of creatures in the target zone equal to the result of the trigger die. For example, if there are five creatures in the target zone but the trigger die displays a 3, then the flamethrower only hits three of the five. Closer creatures are hit before ones further away.

All designated spaces must be adjacent to at least one other such space. Any creature that enters, passes through, or ends their turn inside one or more such spaces during their turn takes damage as if you had hit them with your flamethrower (minus bonus damage from close range, maximum once per round per target). Roll a trigger die as normal against targets to determine critical hits and added conditions such as Burning. Attacking creatures that wander through your firewall never costs Supply, but the initial action to spray the firewall down has the possibility to as normal.

| - | ^Fleshgrinder |||**Start Up:** Fleshgrinders need to be started up before they can be used effectively. This requires one action and a point of Supply. If you have no Supply, you cannot start up a fleshgrinder (and thus cannot use it in combat). Unlike other effects that consume or rely on Supply, fleshgrinders never consume additional Supply from low results on the trigger die- it's a one-and-done kind of deal. Once started up, a fleshgrinder lasts for one battle (or a few minutes if used outside of battle) before it needs to be started up again to be used. \\ \\ **Jam Session:** If the trigger die used with a fleshgrinder is a 1, the weapon jams. When this happens, it must be started up again (costing another action and Supply) before you may continue attacking with it. \\ \\ **Groovy:** Fleshgrinders deal +2 damage with all strikes and critically hit on a 10+ instead of the normal 12. \\ \\ **Range:** Fleshgrinder attacks can only be used against creatures directly adjacent (1 meter away) from you. \\ \\ **Awkward: | ||
| - | |-> ^Keystarter ||**Quick Startup:** Starting up the fleshgrinder no longer costs an action and can be done any time on your turn. \\ \\ **Fuel Efficiency: | ||
| - | |-> ^Long Tool ||**Pole Saw:** The fleshgrinder can be used to attack targets within 1-2 meters instead of the normal 1 meter. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Maniac ||**Horrifying: | ||
| - | |-> ^Rev Up ||**Spinning Wild:** By taking an action to rev up the fleshgrinder to output greater power, you deal +5 bonus damage with the single next attack you make with it. This bonus damage is in addition to the bonus damage the fleshgrinder always deals anyway. This single empowered attack cannot jam even if the trigger die is a 1. After attacking, the benefit from Rev Up is lost and another action must be spent revving the weapon up again to regain it. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Sleeping Giant ||**Drill Smack:** The weapon is constructed in such a way that it retains some effectiveness even when not turned on. You can freely attack with the fleshgrinder without starting it up (and thus avoid the noise, startup action, and Supply cost). An unpowered fleshgrinder does not jam on a trigger die result of 1, but is also somewhat less effective than normal: it no longer critically hits on a 10+, does not deal an additional +2 damage, and any special effects that happen on a 10+ as a result of other abilities in the Fleshgrinder tree (such as Maniac or Shredder) happen only on a 12 instead. Additional effects that happen on a 10+ from other trees (such as Firebug) are unaffected. | | ||

The new fused creature has a physical appearance that is a combination/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Conjoin ||**Two Ninjas Duct Taped Together To Make A Super Ninja:** Instead of making a single creature with both traits, your fusions create a composite mashup creature by fusing bodies together. For every 5 levels possessed by the hybrid being you create, it may equip one ability from the Polycephaly tree of your choice for free. You do not need to know the abilities in question. The hybrid creature' | ||
| - | |-> ^Dance Instructor ||**Follow My Lead:** Your partner does not need to have Fusion equipped or even know it in order to fuse with you. You are always considered the primary regardless of what the other partner' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Maestro |**Fabulous, | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Takeover |**Hostile Merger:** You can fuse with creatures that are unwilling. Unless you also have the Quicksilver ability equipped, this generally means they must be unconscious or restrained. You can still initiate fission as an action whenever you want, but your unwilling partner cannot. \\ \\ **Dueling Wills:** Your fusion partner will continuously fight you for control over the new form. At the beginning of each turn, roll a trigger die to see who's in control, as follows: \\ - If your level is at least double your partner' | ||
| - | |-> ^Garnet ||**Long Fuse:** Fusions you are involved in don't automatically end when they lose Vitality or after time passes; you can stay fused as long as you damn well please. You also have no fusion refractory period and no longer need to get any sleep in-between different fusions. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Latency ||**Suppressed Weakness:** The fused being does not need to have any of the weaknesses of either partner so long as only one partner has them. You and your partner decide which weaknesses to keep and which to discard when performing a fusion. For example, if you fuse with a robot that has the Synthetic weakness but you don't, the new fused being can be Synthetic or not depending on what you want at the time. If both of you had the Synthetic weakness, however, then the final fused being would be required to have it too. Your partner does not need to have Latency equipped so long as you do. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Quicksilver ||**Fast Meld:** You can perform a fusion as a single action so long as your partner is adjacent to you. Your partner does not need to have Quicksilver equipped so long as you do. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Synergy ||**Come Together:** For every three levels the new hybrid creature has, it may equip one ability that is known by all of its constituents for free. Going back to the previous example, if Sarah and Dimitri both know a lot of Blade abilities, then their level 9 fusion Samitrah can equip up to three Blade abilities that they have in common without using any loadout slots to do so. Your partner does not need to have Synergy equipped so long as you do. The fused creature does not need to have the synergy ability in its loadout to gain its benefits, but you do need to have it equipped when performing the initial fusion. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Troika ||**Triple Team:** You can perform a fusion of three individuals instead of the normal two. The highest-level participant is the primary as usual, and both others contribute fusion XP and their list of known abilities to the final result. Your partners do not need to have Troika equipped in order to do this so long as you do. \\ \\ **Staggered Fusion:** You can fuse all three partners at once or fuse two and then fuse in the third one later. This is an exception to the normal rule that fused beings cannot be fused again. When performing fission, the troika fusion can eject just one member and leave the other two fused if desired. | | ||

| - | |-> ^More Dakka ||**Still Not Enuff:** Every time you make a Gatling attack, you can choose to make an additional attack for free immediately afterward. The new attack has its own trigger die roll. Free attacks made through More Dakka always consume a point of Supply regardless of the trigger die result. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Saturation Fire ||**Cannot Outsmart Boolet:** If a Gatling attack fails for any reason, you can immediately spend an extra Supply to spray a bunch more bullets and make it hit anyway. The trigger die result is not altered via Saturation Fire, only the possibility of failure. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Suppression ||**Stay Down:** When the trigger die is a 7+, you suppress your target. If a target you suppressed moves from their current position at all for any reason during their next turn, you may automatically attack them for free as an immediate interrupt to their movement at any point along their movement path. If the target does not move during their next turn, you don't get the free attack. Suppression only lasts until the end of the target' | ||

| - | ^Geomancy |||**Remake The World:** By spending an action and a point of Supply, you can change the local terrain in various ways. The range of geomancy is 10 meters. All changes from Geomancy last until the end of combat (or for a few minutes when used outside of combat). \\ \\ **Shapeable: | ||
| - | |-> ^Battlements ||**Fortified: | ||
| - | |-> ^Enduring ||**Aspect of Stone:** When you use a Geomancy effect to change the local terrain, you can choose to spend an extra point of Supply to make the effect last for the rest of the session instead of expiring in a few minutes, or two extra points of Supply to make the effect last permanently. Permanent Geomancy effects are no more or less durable than their natural counterparts and can be destroyed through any method that could normally destroy such things (for example, a crew of dudes with shovels can clean up and remove a permanent Mire given time). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Enormous ||**Aspect of Sky:** When you use a Geomancy effect to change the local terrain, you can choose to spend an extra point of Supply to make the effect larger than normal. All effects appear in their target space as normal and affect all other spaces within a range one step higher than normal on the 0-> 1-> 2-> 5-> 10-> 20-> 50-> 100-> etc scale. You can also choose to spend two extra points of Supply to increase the size by two steps on the scale instead of one. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Ley Lines ||**Increased Range:** Your closeness to the hidden energies in the earth increases the range of all Geomancy effects to 50 meters. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Part Water ||**This One's a Classic:** All water (or comparable liquids) in the target space or any other space within 2 meters is pushed aside in defiance of physics, letting you pass through the place where it was without swimming or even getting wet. Displaced liquids have to go somewhere and you might cause an overflow by using Part Water (GM adjudicates). Any creatures or boats swimming/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Pit ||**Yawning Gap:** You open up a hole in the earth (or other solid surface). The target space and all adjacent spaces split open and reveal a pit up to 3 meters deep. If Pit is used in an area where the floor is less than 3 meters thick, it simply opens up a hole leading to whatever' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Sudden Fall |**Tumble Shrieking: | ||
| - | |-> ^Smooth ||**I Bring The Road:** You flatten the target space and all other spaces within two meters. This removes most roughness and edges (approximately to the degree of making stairs into bumpy but serviceable ramps), allowing wheeled vehicles to move freely through the affected area. Any difficult terrain in the affected area is removed and pits (such as from the Pit ability) lose 3 meters of depth. \\ \\ **Smoothed Walls:** Any walls or vertical surfaces in the area are also smoothed, making them more difficult to climb. Rough, easily climbable surfaces (such as ladders or the sides of Pit/Wall geomancy effects) require the Acrobatics ability to climb after being smoothed, surfaces that already required the Acrobatics ability to climb now require the Scale ability from the Acrobatics tree, and surfaces that required the Scale ability now require the Cling ability from the Acrobatics tree. \\ \\ **Auto-Smoothing: | ||
| - | |-> ^Wall ||**Raise Pillar:** You pull stone or other material in the (solid-surfaced) target space upwards into a column three meters tall. The column fills the target space entirely and acts as an obstacle as any normal column would. The sides of the column are rough and uneven enough to act as a sort of ladder, making it climbable by any creature that doesn' | ||

This lasts for one in-game day, at which point you revert back to your true form. You can extend the effects of this ability by spending one point of Supply per day, but once you lose your stolen shape you cannot ever re-assume it. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Graverobber ||**Old Flesh:** You can successfully feast on any reasonably intact corpse, not just the recently-slain. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Meat Lore ||**Steal Power:** After eating a corpse of a creature of the same type as yourself, you immediately gain an opportunity to learn one of your meal's abilities as if you had used an appropriate keystone. You must pay for this opportunity using Supply as normal. You can only learn abilities in this manner that are part of trees you already have (or if you have a blank tree, you can put any root ability into it). Unlike learning abilities in the normal way via keystones, you cannot learn any ability of your choice from the tree- only ones that your meal personally knew. You may learn up to one ability per corpse eaten in this way. | | ||

If you remove a point of Vitality from your host, they briefly remember you and have one round to remove/slay you before forgetting you again. Other creatures can clearly see you clinging to your host and may act normally towards you, though your host will actively deny your existence. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Sanguine ||**Heart Eater:** After feeding on a creature similar to yourself, you gain +1 additional Vitality on top of any lost Vitality restored. This additional Vitality is added to your normal limit and supports an additional Endurance and Flow as well. \\ \\ **Transient Life:** Additional Vitality gained from this ability is temporary. If you unequip the Sanguine ability, it is irretrievably lost. If you lose Vitality from taking damage, the bonus points from Sanguine are lost first and cannot be restored. Bonus Vitality from Sanguine fades away and is lost on its own within 24 hours if it isn't lost any other way. You can have a maximum amount of temporary bonus Vitality from Sanguine up to your level at any given time. | | ||

After eating the corpse of something similar to yourself, you may immediately equip one ability from either the Strength or Mobility trees. You do not need to actually know an ability equipped from Zest, nor does the ability take up a slot in your loadout. Abilities equipped in this way fade and disappear after 24 hours. | | ||

| - | | -> ^Break Bread ||**Share A Meal:** You're so affable (and your food is so good) that anybody who eats with you can't help liking you. Any creature that shares a meal/drink with you gains the Charmed condition. Creatures that wish to resist having a meal with you must roll a trigger die- on a 7+ they turn you down but on a 1-6 they just can't help themselves. The Charmed condition cannot be recovered from until the affected creature(s) leave your presence or you take an action that would normally remove it such as attacking the subject. \\ \\ **Fine Memories:** Depending on how the meal ends, this experience is likely to count as a positive interaction even after the Charm effect wears off and thus allow you to make a friendship check with the target. | | ||

If you don't have any Melee weapon abilities equipped, Slam Pull grants no benefit. This attack is in addition to any free Spikes attacks that might be made via retraction. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Ziplaunch |**And Away We Go:** When you pull a subject to you, you can choose to detach and sidestep at just the right moment to send them flying behind you. The subject continues moving in the same direction past your position and equal distance to that which they were pulled- for example, a creature standing 7 meters due north of you will end up 7 meters due south after you've pulled this trick on them. You can also pull this trick on yourself if you're the one being pulled to your subject instead of vice versa. Solid barriers prevent a target from being launched any further. Ziplaunching a target detaches your line from them, requiring another Grapnel attack against them if you want to pester them any more. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Safety Line ||**Not Today:** If you are falling or otherwise being moved against your will, you can fire your grapnel at any time as a free action (even when it's not your turn). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Tether ||**The Hookup:** Your grapnels are double-ended. After firing it once, you can fire it again without detaching it from your first target. The second target must be within 10 meters of both yourself and the first target (20 meters if you have the Longarm ability equipped). This attaches both targets to each other instead of attaching anything to you. \\ \\ **Remote Retract:** If you have the Retraction ability, you can use it to slam your tethered subjects together. If your subjects are large enough that the rope can't hold them without breaking, it just retracts to the point of being taut than then stops (handy for creating tightropes and ziplines). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Webslinger ||**Swing New York:** Through a powerful piercing mechanism or maybe a very sticky line, you can attach your grapnel line to any solid surface instead of only those that are reasonably grabbable. | | ||

You cannot be aided via the Heal ability; it simply always fails when used on you. You can still repair your own lost Vitality by spending a point of Supply and a few minutes per each point so returned.

| - | | -> ^Helping Hand ||**Back In Shape:** If a healed subject attempts to recover from a condition at the end of the turn in which they were healed, they succeed on a 5+ instead of the normal 9+. Helping Hand only benefits the single next recovery attempt made, and only when it is made at the end of the same turn as the healing itself. | | ||

| - | |::: |-> ^Corporeal |**Almost Reality:** Your illusions fool all the senses at once, even touch.

When you do so, you deal +2 damage, deal the Splinters condition, and automatically critically hit/ inflict the Poisoned condition regardless of the actual result of the trigger die. \\ \\ **Self-Disarm: | ||
| - | |-> ^Ejector ||**Grand Finale:** When you kill a target using a progression attack, they violently expel poisonous fluids as they succumb. All creatures adjacent to such creatures when they die immediately gain the Poisoned condition. This counts as being inflicted by your Injector and thus you can use progression attacks on targets poisoned secondarily in this manner. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Hallucinogen ||**Alter Brain Chemistry: | ||

You may make progression attacks against targets that you have previously poisoned with your injector even after those targets throw off the Poisoned condition.

Once the battle ends (or a few minutes pass) you can no longer use Recurrence to make progression attacks against a target- they' | ||

| - | | -> ^Rival ||**Sworn Foe:** You know how to leave a lasting impression, even if it's not a fond one. After having a negative experience with any creature, you can roll to establish a relationship with them as a rival. This has the same odds (9+) as establishing a friendship with a creature after a positive experience, only it sometimes can be much easier to have a negative experience than a positive one. Rivals won't aid you the same way friends will, but will always treat you with respect and will hate the idea of anyone except them getting to defeat you. \\ \\ **Nemesis: | ||
| - | | -> ^Shout Down ||**Force Surrender: | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Coercion |**Bad Cop:** When you shout down a subject, their attitude is temporarily treated as friendly towards you- they will offer minor aid, give you intel, open a door for you, or anything else that a friendly creature might do. Coerced creatures will not do anything that will directly cause them to come to harm, but will be surprisingly cooperative and pliant in other respects. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Language of Violence |**Universal Communication: | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Overwhelming Presence |**Submit To Me:** You can force even combatants that would otherwise be willing to fight to surrender themselves to you when you use Intimidation on them. This requires a trigger die check of 10+. If a creature resists, then you may not retry on that creature again. All limitations on forcing the surrender of noncombatants also apply against combatants (such as being higher-level than you or immune to the Fear condition). \\ \\ **Context-Sensitive: | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Stockholm Syndrome |**Not So Bad:** When you force a subject to surrender, they don't resent you for it and the experience can even be taken as a positive interaction (which allows you to roll for a relationship increase at the end of the session). The subject is still fully capable of resenting you for anything else you do related to their surrender, however- if you're in the habit of abusing prisoners or killing their friends then the subject will rightfully hate you as normal. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Startle ||**Big Bad Wolf:** When you inflict the Fear condition via any means, it's extra effective immediately afterwards. For the first round of having a Fear condition that you gave them, subjects are required to spend both actions escaping from you instead of only their first action. In later rounds the Fear condition acts normally. \\ \\ **Fear Override:** When you would inflict Fear on a subject that has the Steadfast ability (and thus is immune) they still must spend their next single action on their next turn escaping from you anyway. | | ||

| - | | -> ^Collateral ||**Wide Strikes:** When you use a single-target attack (such as Brawl or Bludgeon) it can hit and affect up to 2 targets at once so long as they are adjacent to each other, within your reach, and all at least 2 size categories smaller than you. \\ \\ **Scaling Terror:** The effect of Collateral increases with greater size disparity. If you're three sizes larger than all of your targets, the attack hits up to five of them. If 4 sizes larger, the attack hits up to 10. All targets must be in a continuously adjacent clump. | | ||

| - | |::: | -> ^Giant Effects |**Enhanced Everything Range:** As Giant Reach, but the range enhancement is applied to every ability and effect you have instead of just the ones that normally have a range of 5 meters or less. This also includes all area-of-effect abilities that affect a given space and all other spaces within a given range from it, such as the Smoke ability (which if you were level 20 or the effective equivalent could be thrown to any point within 20 meters instead of 10 and would fill a space and all other spaces within 5 meters with thick smoke instead of all others within 2. That kind of thing). Basically, if an ability has any listed number that relates to range or effect area, it gets slid up a step on the scale. | ||
| - | | -> ^Giant Strides ||**Enhanced Movement:** For every 20 levels you have, you may make one bonus movement (of up to 5 meters) every time you take a movement action. Every size category you are above SC 5 counts as an extra +5 levels for purposes of calculating your bonus move speed from Giant Strides, while every size category you are below SC 5 counts as a -5 level penalty. For instance, a SC 6 creature gains its first free movement benefit from Giant Strides at level 15 instead of level 20, and then again at level 35 instead of level 40. \\ \\ **Landstrider: | ||

| - | |-> ^Bolt Thrower ||**Hand of God:** The range of your lightning bolts is increased to 50 meters. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Conduit ||**Spare Them:** Your lightning can chain harmlessly to allies. Allies struck by chain lightning are not damaged by the experience and become temporarily immune to the Electrified condition (both being inflicted with it personally or as secondary targets of it). This condition immunity lasts until the end of the battle (or for a few minutes if used outside of battle). Allies so affected are not actually immune to electricity attacks, including Lightning used by an enemy, but cannot get the Electrified condition from them. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Directed Chain ||**Chain Control:** When the lightning chains to a new target, you choose which one the bolt chains to. The selected new target does not need to be the closest available creature, but does have to be within 5 meters of the original target as normal. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Extra Chains ||**Arc Twice:** When the lightning chains, it arcs off the secondary target to hit a third one (whichever creature is closest to the secondary target except for the primary target, max range 5 meters). No creature can be hit more than once by a single lightning chain. \\ \\ **Arc Thrice:** When the trigger die is a 10+, the lightning also chains off the third target to strike a fourth. | ||
| - | |-> ^Flowing Current ||**Unerring Chains:** After striking its first target, the electricity flows unerringly to the next. Secondary (or beyond, if the Extra Chains ability is equipped) targets of a chain strike have no failure chance from size or concealment.

When players have surprise, they all take two free actions before rolling initiative and taking any additional actions as normal. Hidden enemies waiting in ambush that would normally get a surprise round on you simply cancel out the effect of Danger Eye, causing initiative to be rolled normally. | | ||

| - | ^Mimic |||**Monkey Do:** If you see something being done, you can copy it... once. When an ally takes any action within 5 meters of your location, you can spend two actions during the same turn to mimic it. Mimicked actions are considered to have all the same upgrade abilities, range, etc as the original action did (if relevant) but use your own position, combat statistics and trigger die (if relevant). If the mimicked action costs Supply, you must pay it and you cannot mimic an ability that potentially costs Supply if you do not currently have any Supply remaining of your own. You do not apply any potential enhancements provided by your own abilities to a mimicked action. \\ \\ **So Let's Break This Down:** For example, if an ally uses a Firearm ability to shoot a target while standing within 5 meters of your location, you could spend two actions to also use a Firearm attack with all the same upgrades and modifiers as your ally (including relevant abilities from other trees that might alter or enhance the Firearm attack such as Firebug, Precision or Smite), even if you don't know any Firearm abilities at all. Your attack uses your own location for considerations such as range, cover, etc and you use your own Projectile combat rating to determine damage. If you roll low enough on the trigger die that using the Firearm costs Supply, you pay it. If you have abilities of your own that would normally enhance a Firearm attack such as Firebug, Precision or Smite, you DO NOT apply their effects to your mimicked attack if they weren' | ||

Changing your loadout costs Supply as usual, and you must keep Gogo in your new loadout. When you equip an ability that you don't actually know, it takes up two ability slots instead of the normal one slot. You keep your borrowed abilities equipped (and can use them as much as you like) until you change your loadout again, even if you get separated from the ally you borrowed them from. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Mime' | ||
| - | |-> ^Mirroring ||**Fast Mimicry:** You can mimic an action as a single action instead of taking two. Every time you do, roll a separate trigger die from whatever die is required by the mimicked action, if any. If the result is 1-4, then the fast mimickry costs 1 Supply in addition to any Supply cost normally required by the action. You cannot use Mirroring if you have no Supply remaining. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Muscle Memory ||**Keep That Trick:** When you mimic an action, you can choose to mimic yourself on your next turn and do it again.

| - | |-> ^Crazy Ivan ||**What The Hell:** Larger creatures tend to see you as either inconsequential or as prey, and thus have trouble dealing with the situation when you charge right at them.

So long as you end your turn closer to that creature than when you started, the larger creature' | ||

This can be a patron you've already had dealings with in the past or it could be one you've only heard of; for example, in campaign worlds with an animism flavor you could use Communing to contact the spirit of a river or a sacred sword.

| - | | -> ^Binds Of Death ||**Keep Control:** If you animate an undead that would put you over your normal cap for control, it simply crumbles into dust instead and you do not lose control over any of the undead you have previously animated. If you happen to die while controlling undead, all of them immediately crumble into dust instead of going into a life-ending frenzy. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Deathlord ||**Increased Control:** You can control twice as many undead at a time. You can mix and match different control thresholds for different undead- for example, you can control one undead of your own level AND three undead of half your level at once, instead of only being able to do one or the other. | | ||

| - | | -> ^Necrosculptor ||**Every Variety:** You are well-practiced in the creation of various alternative forms of undead, allowing you to fine-tune the weaknesses of your minions (and revenants, and liches). You may choose to add the Nightbound (Undead), Tethered (Spectre), Slowpoke (Strength), Hunger (Ghoul), Fragile (Flight) and/or Wretched (Nightseeker) weaknesses to anything you reanimate. Adding the Nightbound ability to a corpse no longer requires them to lose any other abilities to gain the Undead one. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Revenance ||**Unfinished Business:** Through the use of a more involved ritual, you can raise a corpse as a revenant instead of as a mindless undead puppet. This costs one Supply as usual. Revenants do not have most of the normal undead weaknesses such as permanent Fatigue, impaired movement, or being Mindless but still gain the Synthetic weakness if they didn't already have it. Revenants are also completely free-willed and not under your control (they may or may not even appreciate you raising them in this manner) and thus don't count against your control limits. Player-controlled adventurers raised as revenants lose one of their trees entirely and trade in all abilities from it one-for-one for abilities from the Undead tree instead. Revenants last for 24 hours or until killed again, after which point they will crumble into dust and be unraiseable a second time. All revenants instinctively know this and will generally pursue a goal of their choice with single-minded intensity. \\ \\ **Self-Revenance: | ||

If you tell any party that personally dislikes you to do something, roll a trigger die. If the result is a 4+, they will always do the opposite without even taking time to think about it. You cannot retry this check. The GM might rule some checks to automatically fail if they proscribe actions which would very clearly and unambiguously help you or hurt the target ("I sure hope you don't untie me and give me my gun back" or "Hey, I bet you're too chicken to jump in that oven" are two such examples) unless, of course, the target both hates you a whole hell of a lot and is also very, very stupid. | | ||

| - | ===== Perception ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Perception.** Make uncanny observations. | ||
| - | * **Alertness.** Use Perception quickly. | ||
| - | * **Biography.** Learn details about creatures. | ||
| - | * **Eavesdropper.** Hear things you otherwise wouldn' | ||
| - | * **Forensics.** Analyze an area to know what happened there. | ||
| - | * **Hindsight.** Also know when things happened. | ||
| - | * **Tracking.** Follow a creature' | ||
| - | * **Intuition.** Search for intangible qualities. | ||
| - | * **Target Definition.** Know where a creature is at all times. | ||
| - | * **Truesight.** See through illusions and fakes. | ||

| - | | -> ^Alertness ||**Fast Processing: | ||
| - | | -> ^Biography ||**Sherlock A Chump:** You can learn details such as origin, nationality, | ||
| - | | -> ^Eavesdropper ||**Overhear: | ||
| - | | -> ^Forensics ||**Analyze The Scene:** When you use Perception, you gain an understanding of the sequence of most significant events that happened in an area recently. For example, at a murder scene you gain information about where/how the victim was killed, how many creatures were involved, what was left behind, and similar details. The GM describes the clues and markers you find and what they mean. The most important things that the GM must reveal if at all applicable: what happened here, and how? | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Hindsight |**Construct A Timeline:** As Forensics, but you also gain a solid estimate of the exact time in the past at which every individual event that left clues for you to follow happened. Your timeline is always accurate in terms of which events happened in what order, and close to accurate in terms of absolute time depending on how long ago they happened. For example, you could probably narrow down something that happened last night to within 15 minutes of its actual time, but something that happened centuries ago might get you no closer than a year or two. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Tracking |**Follow The Trail:** Any creature that entered or left the area you're examining left a trail behind when they did so, and you know exactly how to follow it. You can follow a trail without having to make any more Perception actions, even when the trail leaves your examined area. Every time the trail crosses through an area that could muddle it (crossing a river, joining up with many other creatures, etc) you must make another Perception action to pick it up again. \\ \\ **Slow Going:** You take an impairment to all movement and travel speeds when following a trail unless you also have the Alertness ability from this tree equipped. | | ||

| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Performance |||**Look At Me:** By giving a speech, singing a song, or performing in some other manner you can seize and hold the attention of everyone within 10 meters of your location. They all turn in your direction and pay exclusive attention to you for as long as you continue taking no actions except for continuing to perform (up to a hour or so maximum). Some might move closer to get a better view unless they have a specific reason to stay where they are (guards posted at doors will stay by their doors, but still look at you.) \\ \\ **Immunities: | ||
| - | | -> ^Audience Participation ||**Self-Sustaining: | ||
| - | | -> ^Anthem ||**Lift Spirits:** Your performance rallies and energizes your allies in combat. Enemies are unaffected by an Anthem, as are allies whose level is higher than your own (they' | ||

| - | | -> ^Lullaby ||**Sleepytime: | ||
| - | | -> ^Rabble Rouser ||**Incite Mob:** You can use your performance to take advantage of discontent in your audience and turn them into a mob which will immediately organize itself and go perform some sort of vandalism/ | ||
| - | | -> ^Siren ||**Lure Away:** Any audience distracted by your performance is required to come in close for a better look, even those creatures which really should know better (such as guards). You may take one move action with an impairment per round while continuing to perform, and your audience will follow where you go. \\ \\ **Immunities: | ||
| - | | -> ^Spotlight ||**Increased Audience:** Your performance range increases from 10 meters to 20 meters. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Steel ||**Epic Speech:** If you have a few minutes before combat, you can spend a Supply and perform for your allies to pump them up. All allies (including yourself) who witness your Steel performance gain the benefits of the Grit and Steadfast abilities if they didn't already have them until the end of their next fight (or for an hour or so if they don't actually get in any fights). Allies who already have the Grit and/or Steadfast abilities equipped gain the effects of an upgrade of their choice from each tree for the duration of Steel instead. \\ \\ **Enhanced Effect:** You may spend one or more additional points of Supply when you use the Steel ability. For every extra point spent, you may give all affected allies the (temporary) benefit of any given upgrade ability from the Grit and Steadfast trees in addition to the effects of the root abilities themselves. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Traveling Song ||**Marching Beat:** You know how to keep morale high on long journeys. When you have this ability equipped and your journeying group chooses to make a forced march, roll a trigger die. On a 4+, your group can ignore the normal penalty from forced marching (-1 Vitality and unrecoverable Fatigue condition). \\ \\ **Limited Switchups: | ||

| - | |-> ^Defensive Driving ||**Vehishield: | ||
| - | |-> ^Drift Turner ||**Slide Around:** You ignore the normal restrictions on vehicle turning- you can turn your vehicle as many times as you wish during a move, just like creatures can do. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Traffic Weaver |**Blockade Runner:** You may move your vehicle through (but not stop in) spaces occupied by other vehicles or creatures that would normally prevent your passage. Whether these obstacles are friendly or not is irrelevant. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Evasive Maneuvers ||**Erratic Dodge:** You make yourself a much more difficult target by moving wildly. You may choose to take a voluntary impairment to your movement for a round. If your vehicle moved twice during that round, all incoming attacks have a failure chance of 6 until the beginning of your next turn (including attacks that normally have no failure chance, such as area effects). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Full Throttle ||**Gear Shifting:** When moving your vehicle, you can choose to make it " | ||

| - | |-> ^Twitch Reflexes ||**Spin That Wheel:** You may use any ability you have equipped that grants a free movement (such as Dodge from the Mobility tree or Vanguard from the Steadfast tree) to move your vehicle instead of personally moving. Abilities that enhance or alter movement cannot be used with your vehicle, only those that grant movement. | | ||

When you use any attack ability the target(s) gain the Poisoned condition on a trigger die result of 7+. \\ \\ **Empower Injector:** When using an Injector ability to attack, it always inflicts the Poisoned condition regardless of what the trigger die displays instead of only on a 10+. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Miasma ||**Walking Wasteland: | ||

Any additional effects from poison that you gain from having appropriate Poisoner abilities equipped (such as the effects of Tranquilizers or Viral Toxin) is also applied to the selected ally's poison. \\ \\ **Depletion: | ||
| - | | -> ^Tranquilizers ||**Knockout Drugs:** When you assassinate a target using any poisoned weapon, you can choose to knock them unconscious instead of killing them. Unconscious creatures wake up several hours later none the worse for wear (although possibly with a huge headache). Targets immune to poison cannot be knocked unconscious in this way. | | ||
| - | |::: | -> ^Wear Down |**Anesthetize: | ||

| - | |-> ^Interception ||**Poke 'Em Good:** You can choose to instantly attack any enemy that enters any of the spaces you can reach with this weapon for free as an immediate interruption to their movement. The attack is resolved before the target can do anything else, including continue moving. Every time you do this, you get one less action on your next turn. You can do this a maximum of twice per turn. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Impalement |**Drive Yourself Deeper:** When you successfully strike a target with an interception attack, the target is given a choice: immediately stop moving and remain in their current position until the beginning of their next turn, or continue moving and suffer another polearm attack from you as the weapon gets pushed more painfully into them. This secondary attack costs you nothing to perform and is resolved immediately after the interception attack that triggered it. Targets that stop moving do not get attacked again in this way. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Receive Charge |**Improved Interceptions: | ||
| - | |-> ^Lancer ||**Extra Momentum:** When you are riding on something else that moves you around the battlefield without you having to take any movement actions yourself (a mount, a vehicle, a large friend that has the Battle Platform ability from the Kaiju tree, or similar) you deal +2 damage with all Polearm attacks made during the same round you are moved. You don't get the Lancer bonus when fighting against something else that's also riding the same thing you are. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Phalanx ||**Stab Around:** You're used to handling your polearm in a crowd. Creatures no longer impose a failure chance on your attacks when standing between you and your intended target. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Skewer ||**Stab Through:** When the trigger die is a 7+, your attack passes through your target and damages another secondary target standing behind them. If you can draw a straight line from the middle of the space you occupy through any part of the space occupied by your primary and intended secondary targets and your secondary target is within your polearm' | ||
| - | |-> ^Sweep ||**Spinning Cane:** When the trigger die is 7+, the target gains the Prone condition. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Telescopic ||**Long, Long Pike:** Through clever craft or technique, you can greatly extend the reach of your polearm when necessary. You can use your polearm to attack targets within 6-10 meters distance of your position, but the attack has a failure chance of 4 when used at this range due to the extreme awkwardness of such a long-ass pole. Attacks made at your normal range of 2-5 meters are unaffected and have no special failure chance from having Telescopic equipped. | | ||

| - | ^Poppet |||**Hollywood Voodoo:** In order to use Poppet attacks on a target, you must first construct a small doll or figure to represent them. This requires a few minutes of work, one point of Supply, and something closely related to the target (such as a lock of their hair or a scrap of their clothing). Once the doll is made, you can attack the target by sticking needles into the doll that represents them at any time. \\ \\ **Unseen Torment:** Poppet attacks have a range of 50 meters and completely ignore the normal failure chances from cover, concealment and size differences. It also completely ignores defenses from the Shield ability tree. \\ \\ **Don' | ||

If you unequip the Doll Collector ability, you lose access to and cannot make use of any dolls except your primary one. You can designate a new doll to be your primary focus at any time during your turn as an action, but only if you have Doll Collector equipped. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Dollface ||**Be The Poppet:** The magics binding your doll with its victim also partially entangle you. Every time you take damage for any reason, the creature corresponding to your doll also automatically takes an amount of damage equal to half what you took, rounded down. This damage cannot be avoided or reduced in any way. Only damage you actually took is counted for purposes of Dollface; damage reduced by your defenses doesn' | ||

The only circumstance Precision does not allow you to beat the odds with is when a target has complete cover (there is a solid object between you and them that completely blocks line-of-effect.) | | ||
| - | |-> ^Aim ||**In My Sights:** You take a little extra time to set up an extra-accurate attack. You can choose to take two actions to make a single attack. When making this single attack, you may roll the trigger die three times and pick whichever result you like the best. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Giant Slayer ||**Goliath Buster:** You may act as if you were up to one size larger than you actually are for purposes of weapon failure chance. This can reduce failure chance from attacking a larger target to 0 but not below 0. Your size does not actually change, only your ability to effectively attack things larger than you are. \\ \\ **Scaling Bonus:** You may treat yourself as being up to one size category larger than before for every five levels you have attained.

This happens whether the sleeper wants it or not. Once you have done this, your passenger must stay in the Manifest until such time as either you or they wake up. Being killed in the physical world does not qualify as waking up. | | ||

Manifest Discovery can make any small change to the current scene you want so long as it's mostly logical in nature- for example, you could use it to find the key to a locked door underneath a nearby flowerpot, or change into fancy clothing when you find yourself at a Manifest ball. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Manifest Shaper |**Dream Terrain:** By spending a point of Supply, you can change the Manifest in more impressive ways. You can alter an area of terrain in some way (add a staircase, put a hole in a wall, create a light source, fill it with water, whatever). \\ \\ **Dream Limits:** Your change has to be able to fit inside approximately a 10x10x10 meter cube. You cannot use Manifest Shaper to change an area that you or any ally is currently observing- you just turn around and suddenly things are different. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Manifest Guardian ||**Surreal Defender:** You have spawned your own personal denizen of the Manifest formed from your own subconscious thoughts and desires. By spending a Supply, you can summon your Manifest Guardian to your side (any space adjacent to you), where it may immediately take any actions you want it to. Summoning a guardian is a free action. Guardians last until the beginning of your next turn, but can be re-summoned. You cannot have more than one instance of your guardian active at any given time. Your guardian is fully healed and regains all lost Supply every time you re-summon it. Your Manifest Guardian cannot be summoned outside the Manifest. Guardians cannot give you any of their own Supply. \\ \\ **Guardian Stats:** Your guardian is always the same level as you with a static loadout that you choose. Your guardian can freely have any abilities that you or the GM agree are appropriate- even though it's born of your thoughts, it might be capable of doing things you can't. \\ \\ **Manifest Clones:** Manifest native creatures do not have the same sort of consciousness that creatures from the real world do. When a Manifest native creature uses this ability, it simply temporarily creates another creature of the same type. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Collapse ||**Earthfall: | ||
| - | |-> ^Earthwave ||**No Upstanding Citizens Please:** Your Quake attacks always inflict the Prone condition regardless of the trigger die result instead of only on a 10+. Creatures too large to be knocked down remain so. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Harmonize ||**One-Two Kaboom:** If you use a Quake attack twice in a row without changing location, the second stomp is amplified by the energies of the first for an increased effect. The second stomp affects all targets within 5 meters of your position instead of 2 meters, and all targets within 2 meters take an additional +2 damage. If you somehow manage to stomp three or more times in a single round (such as through the Aftershock ability or another effect), all attacks beyond the second are empowered equally to the second one. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Meteor ||**Dive Bomb:** If you fall 5 or more meters, you may make a Quake attack at your point of impact as a free action. For every 2 meters of distance you fell, you deal +1 damage with this attack to a maximum in bonus damage equal to your level. | | ||

This allows you to use a Quake attack on a target that isn't in direct contact with the ground, such as those that are midair or swimming underwater. Quake Slamming a target in this way deals no damage to any other targets unless they are in physical contact with the first one (such as if they' | ||

If the trigger die is 10+, then you physically drive the target into the earth with the force of your attack, inflicting the Immobilized condition to them.

| - | |-> ^Bleed ||**Call The Blood:** As an action, you can inflict the Bleeding condition to any subject within 10 meters. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Blood Renewal ||**Purge And Fill:** As an action, you can choose to lose any amount of Vitality. At the beginning of each turn after using Blood Renewal immediately after regaining Flow, you automatically regenerate an amount of Endurance equal to the Vitality you sacrificed. Vitality lost in any other way does not trigger Blood Renewal. \\ \\ **Finale:** When combat ends, the regeneration stops. Roll a trigger die for every point of Vitality you sacrificed via Blood Renewal; if the result is a 7+, you get that Vitality back for free. If not, you don't (but you can get it back any of the normal ways one might regain lost Vitality). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Exsanguination ||**Stain The Earth Red:** Any enemy creature within 5 meters of your position takes double the normal damage from the Bleeding condition. Bleeding allies are unaffected. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Lazarus ||**Life For Life:** You can resurrect the dead, at a price. Any creature that has a mostly-intact body can be raised via Lazarus, no matter how long ago they actually died. The ritual for doing so requires a full day of work and a suitable sacrifice. The sacrifice must be a creature of at least equivalent level to the dead subject that is either helpless or willing who is killed as part of the ritual. \\ \\ **Came Back Wrong:** Roll a trigger die upon completion of the ritual. If the result is 5+, everything' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Retissue |**Return The Blood:** You can use Lazarus to raise a dead creature even if they don't have an intact body, but you still need at least a piece of their body- a single bone, lock of hair, smear of blood, or similar is enough. The chance of the subject coming back wrong increases to 1-8 on the trigger die when you don't have an intact body. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Life Inversion ||**Reversed Heartbeat: | ||
| - | |-> ^Reaping ||**Taste Of Death:** Every time a creature dies within 10 meters of your location, you immediately regain one point of lost Endurance per three levels possessed by the dead creature. You cannot regain lost Endurance beyond your maximum in this way. Creatures of less than level 3 provide no benefit to you through Reaping. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Sacrifice ||**Life For Power:** You can kill any helpless or willing subject and offer up their life in exchange for power. For every five levels possessed by the slain subject, you gain one point of Supply. Sacrifices of less than level 5 provide no benefit to you. Committing a sacrifice in this way requires a few minutes of uninterrupted work. \\ \\ **The Value Of Life:** Sacrifice is less efficient when used on less-sapient creatures. Creatures with the Animal weakness yield one Supply per 7 levels instead of 5, and creatures with the Mindless weakness yield one Supply per 10 levels. | | ||

If you lose 2 Endurance, the attack deals +5 damage. If you have no Endurance remaining, using Shared Pain causes you to lose Vitality instead.

You lose both the positive and negative aspects of the weakness. Removing a weakness with Lapse is optional: you can decide to do it or not, but once the choice is made that's the way it always works from now on. \\ \\ **Gain Weakness:** You can designate a weakness and associated free abilities for your alternate form. When you shapeshift, you gain that new weakness and its attendant abilities. You lose them again when you revert.

| - | ^Shield |||**Shields Up:** You may use an action to go on the defensive. Until the beginning of your next turn, all Melee and Projectile attacks coming from a source inside your vision arc have a failure chance of 6. Attacks from creatures outside this arc are unaffected by a Shield ability. Area attacks are also unaffected by shield use. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Area Deflection ||**Block Blasts:** Your shield applies its failure chance against Explosive, Blizzard, Flamethrower, | ||

This automatically unequips the Shield ability from your loadout immediately after negating the attack. You can look at the dice results of an oncoming attack before deciding to use Breakaway to negate it. Player-controlled adventurers can re-equip the Shield ability by changing their loadout as normal. | | ||

If the result is a 7+, the enemy gets their weapon stuck into/onto your shield and must choose between two options: either they accept a Grabbed condition from you, or they immediately unequip the weapon they were using. Unequipped weapons can be reclaimed if the shield-bearer is defeated, or adventurers with unequipped weapons can re-equip them the normal way they change their loadout. | ||

Shouts work fine underwater or against creatures that are underwater (although if you're underwater, you're probably choking) but shouts cannot ever be used in a vacuum since there is nothing to propagate the wave. \\ \\ **Target Area:** A Shout attack hits every space in your visual arc out to 5 meters. \\ \\ **Supply Eater.** When the trigger die is 1-6, the attack consumes one Supply. \\ \\ **Failproof: | ||
| - | |-> ^Burster ||**Master Exploder:** The vibrations from your Shout are so powerful that when the attack kills a creature (removes its last Vitality), the creature in question immediately explodes and deals additional damage equal to their level to all other adjacent creatures. This additional damage cannot be reduced or evaded in any way. Exploded creatures obviously don't leave intact corpses, for any effects that depend on that. | | ||

Smite works against anything that can be considered either irredeemably evil or deeply and unnaturally wrong; in a standard fantasy setting this would include both demons and undead but in a modern occult setting it might purely apply to the spawn of elder gods. In many settings such as spy thrillers or noir investigations where nothing is truly black and white Smite might be completely useless.

If a disoriented creature wishes to move to a new location, they must move in a straight line in a randomly-chosen direction (assign the numbers 1-6 to all adjacent hexes and roll a trigger die; if the die's result is 7-12 simply subtract 6) instead of choosing for themselves which direction to go.

Every time the spacecraft takes a move action, it continues to automatically and unavoidably take another move action in the same direction and for the same distance at the beginning of each round. For example, if you traveled five hexes forward and two to the right, the spacecraft will continue going five hexes forward and two to the right every round. You can stop this by taking an action to countermove in the opposite direction, canceling up to 10 meters' | ||
| - | |-> ^A-Grav ||**Just Like Home:** The interior of the spacecraft has some form of artificial gravity, allowing creatures inside it to walk around instead of floating. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Airlock ||**Spacewalk Launch:** The spacecraft is fitted with a functional airlock, allowing creatures and objects to move between its interior and exterior without allowing any vacuum into the craft' | ||
| - | |-> ^Lander ||**Planetfall: | ||
| - | |-> ^Reactive Hull ||**Modular Design:** The spacecraft is exceptionally easy to perform minor repairs to. Removing a breach point from the spacecraft takes only a single action instead of requiring several minutes. The Supply cost is unchanged. \\ \\ **Toolkit Patches:** This ability has a special synergy with the Patch Up ability from the Handyman tree. Any creature with Patch Up removing a breach point from the spacecraft can roll a die and ignore the Supply cost when the result is a 7+, just as if they were restoring Vitality. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Sleeper Ship ||**Hibernation Pods:** The ship is equipped with facilities for putting creatures into suspended animation. While hibernating, | ||
| - | |-> ^Solar Sail ||**Cold Winds Of Light:** The ship is equipped with solar sails, giving it an alternative form of movement. Movement made by solar sail instead of the ship's primary engine has a speed of 2 meters of acceleration per action (or 2 regions per day) instead of the normal 10, but never consumes fuel or Supply and can be used indefinitely (a useful feature for very long interstellar voyages). \\ \\ **Praise The Sun:** Solar sails cease functioning when they have no access to the light of a star, such as when in a nebula or the shadow of a planetary body. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Streak ||**Like A Shooting Star:** A more powerful and efficient engine allows the spacecraft to add up to 20 meters of acceleration per move instead of the normal 10. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Full Burn |**Get Offa Whitefall: | ||
| - | |-> ^Warp ||**FTL:** The spacecraft is fully equipped to make use of gateways that connect different regions of the universe together such as wormholes, jump lanes, mass relays or whatever. Spacecraft without the Warp ability are destroyed when they try to use such gateways. Warp does not allow a spacecraft to jump anywhere it wants, only to where the gateway connects. Warp cannot be used anywhere except for places where a gateway exists. | | ||

| - | | -> ^Inertia Correction ||**The Right Spin:** You know how to make best use of your limited muscle power when gravity isn't a factor. By spending two actions pushing instead of one, you can impart a velocity of 1 meter per round to an an object as if you were 1 size category larger than you actually are. You can further increase your effective size category by spending additional time pushing: 5 actions allows you to impart velocity as if you were two size categories larger, 10 actions allow you to act as if 3 size categories larger, and so forth. Note that once velocity is imparted, you have to re-apply it in the opposite direction if you want the pushed object to stop moving. | | ||

| - | ^Spectre |||**Out Of Phase:** You exist on the edge of reality, not quite material but definitely not nothing, either. You can freely move around, observe your environment, | ||
| - | | -> ^Phaseout ||**Out Of Phase:** At the beginning of your turn, you can choose to become completely immaterial for one round. When you choose to do this, you become completely immune to all abilities and effects in the game but cannot take any actions other than movement. At the beginning of your next turn, you return back to normal (unless you choose to extend the effect another round.) \\ \\ **Condition Suspension: | ||
| - | | -> ^Phasethrough ||**Walk Through Walls:** You can pass through solid material (but not creatures). You take two impairments to your movement speed while doing so. You gain an unrecoverable Choking condition while inside a solid object that is immediately removed once you're out of it again. \\ \\ **Darkened Realm:** Passing through solid matter is somewhat disorienting. Every time you start your turn inside a solid object, roll a trigger die; on a 1-6 you lose your sense of direction for that round and start moving in a randomly-selected direction instead of your desired direction. Having the Pathfinder ability equipped from the Survival tree makes you immune to this effect. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Poltergeist ||**Manifestation: | ||
| - | | -> ^Possession ||**Meat Puppet:** You can physically possess the body of a creature that is sleeping or unconscious as an action. While possessing another creature, you disappear and are considered to be physically inside them, even if they are smaller than you. If your host takes any damage while you possess them, you also take the same amount of damage. \\ \\ **Driver Picks The Music:** You use your own combat skills and ability loadout while possessing a body, not the host' | ||

Corpses that are not mostly intact might not be capable of movement anymore (GM adjudicates). \\ \\ **In The Shell:** You can possess vehicles (such as those created by the Boat, Aircraft, Wheels, etc trees). Doing so wrests control of the vehicle away from whoever' | ||
| - | | -> ^Steal Breath ||**Ripped From Your Lungs:** As an action, you can inflict the Choking condition to any creature within 10 meters of your position. | | ||

A good rule of thumb is that the location cannot be more than 100 meters across. You cannot be transported out of the proscribed area against your will- there are invisible barriers that apply to you and you alone that cannot ever be crossed by any means. | | ||

| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Spikes |||**Defensive Offense:** You cannot use an action to attack with a Spikes weapon the same way you can choose to use other weapons. When an adjacent (1 meter distant from you) enemy attacks you using any weapon, you may immediately attack them back with your Spikes as a free action that is resolved immediately after the attack that triggered it. Non-adjacent enemies that attack you from a distance of 2 meters or greater do not trigger a free counter in this manner. \\ \\ **Grapple Pain:** At the beginning of your turn before you take any actions, you automatically use your Spikes weapon to attack any adjacent creature that you have inflicted the Grabbed condition on or vice versa for free. \\ \\ **Size Matters:** Spikes have standard size-based failure chances (4 per category of difference). Spikes do not have any failure chance from concealment, | ||
| - | |-> ^Barbed Spikes ||**Sink The Hooks:** You inflict the Grabbed condition on a target when the trigger die is 7+. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Bristling ||**Excessively Spiky:** You have very little surface area without any spikes, making you both more dangerous and more awkward. All your Spike attacks deal +2 damage and critically hit on a 10+, but you take an impairment to movement speed for as long as the ability is equipped. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Interception ||**Front-Loaded Pain:** When you use Spikes to counterattack a creature that has attacked you, your Spikes attack is resolved immediately before the attack that triggers it instead of immediately afterwards. If an attacker is killed or incapacitated by your spikes, this can completely cancel their attack. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Long Spikes ||**Far Jabs:** The effective range of the Spikes ability increases to 2 meters instead of only 1. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Outflow ||**Aura Pain:** Every round at the beginning of your turn before taking any actions, you automatically use your Spikes weapon to attack every other creature adjacent to you (both friend and foe). This effect replaces and does not stack with the normal automatic attack you make at the beginning of your turn against creatures you are in a grapple with. | | ||

Crew requirements cannot be reduced below 1 (every vehicle still needs a pilot). Multiple Starbucks do not stack no matter how many there are on board. \\ \\ **Level-Scaling: | ||

| - | |-> ^Taunt ||**Come At Me, Bro:** Once per round during your turn as a free action, you can deliberately provoke any creature within 10 meters of your position with whom you are already in combat. The taunted creature is obligated to focus all attacks on you and cannot direct attacks at any other targets except incidentally (such as through the use of area attacks that include you as a target). The effect ends as soon as the taunted creature successfully attacks you. Creatures with the Self-Assured ability from this tree are immune to being taunted, as are creatures that can't attack you without moving closer to put you in range. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Vanguard ||**Heedless Charge:** You run into danger with no hesitation. Every round, you may take one movement action for free at any time during your turn. This free movement must end with you closer to the nearest enemy than you were before. If you cannot move any closer to the nearest enemy than you already are (due to being blocked or already adjacent to said enemy) then Vanguard does not function. Since the movement granted by this ability does not actually require you to spend an action, you can even use it during an initiative turn when you normally would not be able to do anything. | | ||

| - | ^Swarm |||**I Am Legion:** While you generally act like a single creature, you're actually a whole bunch of smaller creatures working in concert (like a cloud of locusts, band of goblins, or crew of comedy pirates). Exactly how many isn't important and might vary from scene to scene or even moment to moment, but despite your numbers you're not too much more effective than any single other creature. \\ \\ **Swarm Traits:** You occupy space, carry weight and crew vehicles as a single creature two sizes larger than you actually are, but act as your true size for purposes of size-based attack failure. You can pass through any gap or passageway that is accessible to a creature of your true size, but doing so imposes an impairment on your movement speed as your constituent creatures all bottleneck themselves. Area attacks and other multi-hit effects treat you as just one creature and thus only hit you once. You somehow only need to spend one point of Supply to feed yourself per day, just like a single creature. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Engulf ||**Flow Around:** You can freely share spaces with other creatures, allowing you to move through or stop inside any occupied space on the battlefield (other creatures cannot pass freely through you unless you permit it). If you start any turn sharing one or more of your occupied spaces with another creature, you have an impairment to movement for that round. \\ \\ **Surround & Pound:** Attacking a creature that you've engulfed with an applicable weapon type applies a backstab bonus (+2 damage), since you're hitting them from all angles. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Beset |**Hooligan Thrash:** You can use single-target attacks and effects on every creature you've engulfed simultaneously as a single action and with the use of a single trigger die (if applicable). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Horde ||**Huge Swarm:** There are a LOT of you. You occupy space, carry weight and crew vehicles as a creature three sizes larger than your true size instead of two sizes larger. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Multiattack ||**Split Focus:** When you make any attack, you can choose two targets/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Pliable ||**Resilience: | ||
| - | |-> ^Redshirts ||**Guess We're In Danger:** Members of your swarm seem to be dying constantly (and tragi-comically). Every time you get hurt you lose a few- and it causes your allies to briefly look to their own defense. For every 2 points of damage you take (every 2 Flow, Endurance, or Vitality removed from you by any means), you gain one point of " | ||
| - | |-> ^River ||**Living Flow:** You don't take any impairment to movement speed when passing through gaps accessible to creatures of your true size. If you have the Engulf ability equipped, you also take no impairment to movement when sharing the same space as another creature(s). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Shedding ||**Dieoffs: | ||
| - | |-> ^Split ||**Scatter Bitch, It's The Five-O:** You can break into a whole bunch of individual creatures as an action. Doing so produces one creature of your true size per point of Vitality that you currently have, and each individual creature has exactly 1 point of Vitality (your Endurance and Flow are also split among your constituent creatures as evenly as possible). All your constituent creatures have your full loadout equipped and can be controlled individually, | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Weakness: Rabble |||**Get In Your Own Way:** Your constituent members don't do a very good job protecting each other. Any time you are successfully hit by an attack that is capable of hitting more than one target at a time, you take +5 damage from it. This includes almost all Area attacks as well as special multiple-hit attacks such as Lightning (when it chains) or Firearms upgraded with the Piercing ability. You still count as only a single target for purposes of these attacks and thus allow them to potentially hit other targets as well. | | ||

If you throw it at a space that is currently burning, it puts out the fire in that space. Light sources such as torches that are not shielded from water will be extinguished. You can provide enough water to satisfy a creature' | ||

| - | |-> ^Submersible Arms ||**Water-Adapted Attacks:** You can freely use any attacks while underwater without any failure chance, even those that normally cannot be used underwater at all. However, while you have Submersible Arms equipped all attack abilities gain a failure chance in air or against targets that are not also in water equal to the normal failure chance they would have in water. For example, the Firearm (Projectile) ability cannot normally be used in water. If you equip Submersible Arms, you may use your firearm freely underwater with no penalties or drawbacks, but cannot use it outside of water at all. | | ||

If the target does not have the Swim ability either, the bonus damage increases to +5. \\ \\ **Kraken:** You also deal this bonus damage when attacking boats or ships if the target boat's pilot does not have the Water Adapated/ | ||

If you would already gain partial concealment (such as from murky water or dim light) you instead gain complete concealment. This ability does not function against creatures that are also underwater. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Wavebreaker ||**Coming Through:** You ignore the negative effects of water-based difficult terrain (thick weeds, ice covering, etc) that would otherwise slow you down when swimming. You take no impairment when moving through such spaces and do not take additional damage from attacks while inside them. | | ||

| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Tank |||**Armored Plating:** You are covered in heavy armor. The first time in a round you are struck by any attack, you treat your relevant combat ability score as double its normal value for purposes of defense against that attack. For example, if you are struck by a melee attack and your Melee combat ability is 3, you could subtract 6 damage from the attack instead of the normal 3 damage. Your combat ability scores are not actually changed and Tank has no effect whatsoever on your offensive capabilities. \\ \\ **Renewing Defense:** Every time you use Tank to reduce the damage taken from an attack, roll a trigger die. If the result is 7+, Tank remains active to protect you from the next attack taken as well. There is no limit to how many attacks Tank can protect you from during a given round except your luck. Tank always renews and is ready to defend you again at the beginning of each new turn you take. \\ \\ **Heavy:** Your armor is bulky and somewhat difficult to move in. You take an impairment to all movement while Tank is equipped. \\ \\ **Noisy:** Tanking is not a subtle activity, and moving around in your armor makes a fair amount of noise. You cannot sneak or otherwise go unnoticed while Tank is equipped. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Apocalypse Proof ||**Environmental Shielding: | ||
| - | |-> ^Back Plating ||**Rear Guard:** Attackers gain no bonus damage against you with either backstabs or melee attacks when you have the Prone condition on any attack that your armor applies against. If your armor has already been depleted during the current round, backstabs and prone strikes deal +2 damage as normal. \\ \\ **Achilles Sabaton:** For every three levels you have, you are treated as being one level higher than you actually are for purposes of resisting assassinations via weapon attack abilities. Assassinations carried out through non-weapon abilities (such as Poison Food in the Poisoner tree) bypass this protection. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Eternal ||**Fort Besselat:** When your armor depletes for the round as a result of you rolling 1-6, you can choose to spend a point of Supply to negate the depletion and keep its benefit anyway. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Immortal ||**Desperate Defense:** If you have no Endurance remaining, your armor always refreshes itself after a hit automatically. You no longer need to roll and get a 7+. As soon as you get any amount of Endurance back, you lose this benefit. | | ||

You no longer take an impairment to movement from equipping the Tank ability, but only as long as Tank's effect hasn't been depleted at the moment. As soon as you lose Tank's protection, you take an impairment to movement again until the end of your next turn. \\ \\ **Can' | ||

Teleportation ignores obstacles, difficult terrain and hazards between you and your target destination. Your teleportation is restricted to a range of 5 meters and does not count as regular movement, meaning that you cannot sprint or take advantage of the Mobility tree when teleporting. You must be able to clearly see your target destination in order to teleport to it. You take anything you're carrying with you, including creatures that you're grabbing or who are grabbing you. If you're carrying too much weight to walk or move, you're also carrying too much weight to teleport. \\ \\ **Supply-Driven: | ||

| - | ^Tesla |||**Wield Electricity: | ||
| - | |-> ^EM Attraction ||**Ionized Targets:** When using any electricity-boosted attack (such as Lightning or another weapon that the Tesla ability upgrades to inflict the Electrified status) you completely ignore all miss chances from concealment or smaller size when attacking targets that already have the Electrified status on them. Failure chance against larger targets is unaffected. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Enervation ||**Energy Drain:** Every time the trigger die for a Tesla-enhanced attack is 10+, its subject(s) also gain the Fatigue condition. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Floater ||**Shocking Lift:** When you hit a target with a Tesla-upgraded attack, large amounts of raw current briefly lift them into the air. Any damaging attack that hits a floating target sends them flying in the opposite direction of their attacker a distance in meters equal to half the damage they took (rounded down). If a target sent flying in this manner hits a wall or other solid obstacle, they stop moving and take +2 damage from the attack. If they are sent flying by an attack that normally does that anyway (such as Martial weapons with the Driver upgrade or Explosives with the Forceful upgrade) then they go a distance equal to the full damage taken instead of half. \\ \\ **Return To Earth:** Once a target has been sent flying, they stop floating and further attacks do not knock them about any further. Floating targets that don't get knocked flying stop floating on their own at the beginning of their next turn. \\ \\ **Special Defense:** Creatures with the Spacer ability equipped are used to floating and don't lose their balance when lifted via Floater, making them immune to being knocked flying by subsequent attacks. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Jolt ||**Crackle With Power:** You are constantly charged with electric current. When damaged by any adjacent enemy, you automatically inflict the Electrified condition to your attacker. Anybody that grabs you is also electrified. \\ \\ **Shocking Grasp:** You may spend an action to inflict the Electrified condition to any adjacent creature. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Impact ||**Right In The Face:** You may treat any non-attack effect with a thrown range such as smoke bombs, thrown minions, etc as a Throwing attack. Attacks with a thrown range (such as Blizzard, Explosive, Vitriol, Hazard etc) cannot be combined with the Impact ability, but any other thrown effect in the game can be. The thrown effect deals damage to a selected target as usual and then deploys its normal effect to the target/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Juggler ||**Return To Sender:** When you are targeted by any thrown effect (including not only Throwing weapons but anything else with a thrown range such as explosives, smoke bombs, or whatever), you can choose to catch the thrown projectile and hurl it at anybody else you want, including back at its thrower. The effect is exactly identical to what its user intended, but with a target chosen by you instead of them. Effects that don't target you or the space you occupy cannot be caught with Juggler. \\ \\ **Turn Conservation: | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Lightning Hands |**Interception: | ||
| - | |-> ^Pass ||**Heads-Up: | ||
| - | |-> ^Skipper ||**Bonk Bonk:** When the trigger die is 10+, your thrown projectile bounces to a new target within 5 meters of the primary target. Both targets are affected equally by the attack. You choose the secondary target. Walls, creatures and other solid barriers between the primary target and the selected secondary target cause the attack to fail against the secondary. If you are throwing a living creature via the Fastball Special ability, the ammunition is only damaged once even though it is smacking into two targets. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Throw Anything ||**Chuck Garbage:** Instead of throwing one of your weapons made for that purpose, you can choose to throw anything else you happen to have at hand- forks, bottles, chairs, rocks, severed heads, frozen salmon, whatever. You cannot throw anything that would give you an impairment to movement if you carried it (or in other words is your own size or larger). Living creatures tend to squirm and throw off your aim so they cannot be effectively thrown with this ability (but dead ones are fine so long as they are under the size limit). Exceptionally soft or squishy objects (such as pillows) might be ruled by the GM to not actually do any damage when you throw them. \\ \\ **Easy Pickup:** Picking up an object and throwing it is all part of the same fluid motion for you so long as the object you intend to throw is within arms-reach of your current position. \\ \\ **Supply-Free: | ||

You do not re-roll the trample attack for the next target. If that target also is killed, you can keep right on trampling until either a target survives it or you run out of movement. | | ||

This effect applies even to targets that are not damaged by your trample attack (due to not being the first you run over with a given movement action or for whatever other reason). | | ||

| - | * **Trapper.** Set deadly traps. | ||
| - | * **Alarm.** The trap makes noise. | ||
| - | * **Area Trap.** The trap strikes an area. | ||
| - | * **Advanced Trigger.** The trap is effective in more ways. | ||

| - | * **Displacement.** The trap's trigger and effect can be displaced. | ||
| - | * **Lockdown.** The trap inflicts the Stuck condition. | ||
| - | * **Paranoia.** Set traps retroactively. | ||
| - | * **Resetting.** Your traps reset themselves. | ||
| - | * **Trap Toss.** Deploy traps in throwing range. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Trapper |||**Dungeon Classics:** By taking an action, you can set a trap in any adjacent space. When another creature (or object, or whatever- traps can be sprung just by throwing junk into them) enters the space with the trap in it, they lose 1-3 Vitality (you choose how much when you set the trap). Traps bypass Endurance and Flow and cannot be avoided or reduced via combat defenses in any way. Losing Vitality triggers injury checks as normal. Once triggered, a trap is destroyed/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Alarm ||**Noise Trap:** The trap creates a loud noise, flash of light, or similar flashy effect when it is triggered that draws the attention of everything in the general area. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Area Trap ||**Wide Spread:** When the trap is triggered it strikes not just the creature that entered its space but all other creatures in spaces within 2 meters. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Advanced Trigger ||**Proximity: | ||
| - | |-> ^Crippler ||**Added Conditions: | ||
| - | |-> ^Displacement ||**Displaced In Space:** The trap's trigger and effect no longer need to be in the same place. You can specify any space within 20 meters of the trap's trigger to be struck by the trap's effect when it gets triggered. \\ \\ **Displaced In Time:** The trap no longer needs to go off immediately after being sprung. You can specify a delay of anything from one round to several days after the trap is triggered before it actually goes off. If a creature has left the target space by this point then they are obviously safe. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Paranoia ||**Fortress Mentality: | ||
| - | |-> ^Resetting ||**Auto-Refreshment: | ||

| - | * **Turret.** Deploy stationary automated attackers. | ||
| - | * **Duraturret.** Reclaim more damaged turrets. | ||
| - | * **Front Plating.** Turrets are harder to damage from the front. | ||
| - | * **Infused Turret.** Turrets gain the benefits of elemental trees. | ||
| - | * **Overclock.** Turrets attack faster at a cost. | ||
| - | * **Swivel Turret.** The turret can change its facing. | ||
| - | * **Improved Tracking.** Facing is changed freely. | ||
| - | * **Target Definition.** Turrets gain Precision abilities for free. | ||
| - | * **Throw Turret.** Deploy in throwing range. | ||
| - | * **Turret Stable.** Have more turret choices. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Turret |||**Sentry Device:** By spending an action and a point of Supply, you may deploy a turret to any adjacent location. Your turrets act as creatures the same size as you with one level per two that you have. Turrets can only know and equip weapon abilities. You decide the loadout and statistics of your turrets, and every time you deploy a new turret it uses the same statistics as every other one. Turrets have no Supply of their own; if a turret uses Supply for any reason you must pay from your own Supply pool. \\ \\ **Turret Traits:** A turret cannot ever move under its own power, although it can be moved or carried by other creatures. Turrets attack completely autonomously and know the difference between your friends and your enemies (you control exactly what they do), but may only take one action per round and cannot change their facing. As inanimate objects, turrets are immune to the Choking, Poisoned, Bleeding, Dazed, Fear, Confused, and Charmed conditions but cannot be affected in any way by the Heal or Gourmet trees. Attacks that are capable of dealing the Poisoned condition have a failure chance of 8 against turrets. \\ \\ **Reclamation: | ||
| - | |-> ^Duraturret ||**I Can Fix It:** You may reclaim any turret that hasn't lost any Vitality instead of only turrets that haven' | ||
| - | |-> ^Front Plating ||**Shielded: | ||
| - | |-> ^Infused Turret ||**Added Effects:** If you have an ability equipped that adds an elemental condition (Cryophile, Firebug, Mordant, Poisoner, or Tesla) to attacks when you deploy a turret, then you can choose to empower your turret with that energy/ | ||
| - | |-> ^Overclock ||**Maximum Effort:** All turrets deployed while this ability is equipped are overclocked. An overclocked turret attacks twice per round instead of the normal once, but automatically loses one point of Endurance per round at the end of your turn from the additional strain. If the turret has no Endurance remaining, it loses Vitality instead. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Swivel Turret ||**Servos Engage:** The turret can spend an action to change its facing instead of attacking. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Improved Tracking |**I SEE YOU:** The turret can change its facing as a free action at the beginning of its turn before taking any other actions. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Target Definition ||**Extra Precise:** Your turrets all gain one ability from the Precision tree per three levels that you have for free. You choose which abilities they get and once chosen, this does not change. Just add them on to the bottom of their statistics notes. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Throw Turret ||**Ranged Deployment: | ||
| - | |-> ^Turret Stable ||**Multiple Types:** You may make up to three additional turret loadouts/ | ||

| - | * **Danger Sense.** Never get ambushed. | ||
| - | * **Kip Up.** Stand up from prone quickly. | ||

| - | * **Running Drop.** Drop throwable effects behind you as you move. | ||
| - | * **Whirl.** Face every direction at once. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Twitchy |||**Free Pivot:** You may end your turn facing any direction you want rather than the direction you were last moving/ | ||
| - | | -> ^Click ||**Out Of Danger:** If you personally trigger a trap, landmine, pressure-plate or other mechanism by moving over/near it, roll a trigger die. If the result is a 7+ you may make a single free move action immediately before the mechanism goes off (quite likely allowing you to get out of harm's way entirely). You do not get this defense against traps triggered by others. If you trigger more traps as part of your free movement, you are not protected from them. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Improved Initiative ||**Improved Initiative: | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Danger Sense |**Uncanny Initiative: | ||
| - | | -> ^Kip Up ||**Never Gonna Keep Me Down:** Any time you start your turn with the Prone condition, you automatically remove it by getting up again as a free action. You can only do this at the beginning of your turn. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Light Sleeper ||**One Eye Open:** You can be woken up by the slightest thing out of the ordinary. Abilities and effects that would mask a creature' | ||
| - | |-> ^Opening Strike ||**Surprise, | ||
| - | |-> ^Quick Draw ||**Suddenly Armed:** Changing your loadout costs no Supply so long as you only equip weapon abilities and their upgrades. A weapon ability is any ability that has a combat type (Melee, Projectile or Area) in its name. Equipping non-weapon abilities causes the loadout change to cost Supply as normal. \\ \\ **Players Only:** Only player-controlled adventurers are capable of changing their loadout on the fly, and thus they are the only ones that can learn this ability. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Running Drop ||**In Your Wake:** You can use any thrown effect as part of a movement without spending an action to do so. The thrown effect targets the space you were in at the beginning of your move, and comes into effect either immediately before you start moving or immediately after you finish (you decide). If you were moving through open space (such as through jumping, flying, or similar) then the thrown effect is dropped down to the ground below your starting location. You can only drop one throwable per movement action you take. | | ||

| - | |||
| - | ^Undead |||**The Undying:** Death didn't quite take you the first time, and now it won't take you at all. When you are reduced to 0 Vitality, you don't die. Roll a trigger die after every round spent " | ||
| - | |-> ^Ability Drain ||**Grasping Wraith:** You can fog the memory and reduce the life-force of a touched subject. As an action, you can touch any adjacent target and cause them to unequip one ability of their choice. Ability Drain also reduces the maximum loadout limit of a target by 1, preventing them from re-equipping the lost ability by switching their loadout. Equipped abilities that are not currently occupying a loadout slot (such as those granted by weaknesses) cannot be affected by Ability Drain. A creature' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Level Drain |**Black Wind Blows Through You:** As Ability Drain, but the target also loses one point of maximum Vitality. The lost Vitality returns when the drained abilities do. Creatures reduced to 0 maximum Vitality die instantly (and horribly). | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Power Drain |**Weaken And Despair:** As Ability Drain, but the target also loses one point from their highest combat statistic (Melee, Projectile, or Area). If two or more combat statistics are equal, the victim can choose which takes the hit. A combat statistic can be reduced to 0 in this way but not below 0. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Deathmask ||**Fraternity of the Dead:** Most undead are filled with an unquenchable rage and lash out at every other creature they encounter. Such undead recognize you as one of their own, however, and do not attack you unless you attack them first. Free-willed undead or other undead who have a higher purpose in wanting to kill you (including undead minions raised via the Necromancy tree) have a failure chance of 8 with all attacks made against you, including with attacks that normally suffer no failure chance at all (such as most Area-type attacks). This special protection is lost as soon as you take any offensive action against such attackers, however. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Detect Life ||**Heartbeat Finder:** You can detect the vital life-force that you now lack. The location and presence of all living creatures within 10 meters of your position is revealed to you until the beginning of your next turn. Creatures with the Synthetic weakness from the Grit tree or any creature with an Undead ability equipped is not considered alive and thus is not revealed with Detect Life. You suffer no failure chance from concealment when attacking creatures you've revealed via Detect Life. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Masquerade ||**Walk Amongst the Living:** Your undead nature is supernaturally cloaked in some fashion. Your flesh appears healthy, your voice full and rich, your eyes bright, your scent not at all that of grave-dirt and putrescence. This disguise never slips or fails so long as you've got the Masquerade ability equipped, and only abilities that see the truth of things (such as Truesight from the Perception tree or Detect Evil from the Smite tree) can pierce your disguise. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Paling ||**Shield of Death:** Your dark nature protects you from dark effects. You are completely immune to all offensive effects used against you from the Curse, Sacrifice, Spectre and Undead trees. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Reaper' | ||
| - | |-> ^Sire ||**Spawn Progeny:** You can choose to create a spawn from the corpse of a creature that you have personally killed. Within 24 hours, the dead creature comes back to " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Weakness: Nightbound |||**Wicked Sunburn:** When you are exposed to sunlight, you immediately gain an unrecoverable Curseburn condition for as long as you stay in it. Retreating to the shadows replaces the Curseburn condition with the Burning one instead and allows you the ability to recover. These conditions override any protections you might have from the Firebug ability- even if you're normally completely immune to heat, sunlight still burns you. | | ||

| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Verdant |||**Green Power:** Your plant-like nature gives you unusual powers of regeneration. When taking a day of bed rest to remove an injury, you automatically succeed in throwing it off if you were in sunlight for most of said day. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Greentongue ||**Speak With Plants:** You can communicate on a basic level with plants. This takes an extremely long time (minimum an hour to exchange a few basic pieces of information, | ||
| - | |-> ^Innocuous ||**Blend In:** While not invisible, you look so much like the local non-sapient plants that nobody gives you a second thought. Creatures don't view you as another creature in any way (bandits will pass by you, nobles will gossip near you, monkeys will climb on you) unless they see you move or take an action. Once you give yourself away to a creature they won't be fooled again during the same session. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Photosynthesis ||**Solar Powered:** You can synthesize your own food with sunlight. Any time you spend all day outside in the sun, roll a die. If the result is 7+, you don't need to spend any Supply to feed yourself that day. If you didn't do anything physically demanding that day (such as travel, combat or labor of any kind) then you don't need to roll the die at all and automatically succeed. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Fruiting |**Goodberry: | ||
| - | |-> ^Pollen ||**Choking Dust:** You can produce a large amount of pollen, spores or similar on command. By taking an action, you can apply the Choking condition to every creature within 2 meters of your position. This ability does not affect yourself but does affect allies in the area of effect, if any. \\ \\ **Supply-Driven: | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Dust Eye |**Gound Pound:** Your pollen is highly abrasive to the eyes of those it affects as well as their respiratory tracts. When the trigger die rolled to check for Supply costs is a 7+, all affected targets also gain the Bleary condition. If it's a 10+, they gain the Blind condition instead. | | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Sleep Flower |**Old Man Willow:** If a creature is in the Clueless state when you shake your pollen on them, you knock them unconscious instead of inflicting any conditions on them. Unconscious creatures can be woken up the same way you could wake up any sleeping creature, or will wake up on their own in a few hours if left alone. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Spring ||**Death and Regrowth:** Your plantlike regeneration is even stronger than before. If you die in a place where your body has access to water and sunlight, you can regrow and return to life. Roll a die for every day your body soaks in what it needs; if the result is a 9+ then you come back to life that day with 1 Vitality. If your body is completely destroyed you cannot cheat death by using Spring, but if you die in a place without sunlight/ | ||

| - | ++++ Details | | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Verminate |||**Stinging Cloud:** You command a swarm of tiny creatures that attack targets on command. By spending an action, you attack every adjacent space to your own position. Verminate attacks are completely under your control and never harm your allies or anyone else you don't wish to hit, even if they are standing in the area of effect. \\ \\ **Failproof: | ||
| - | |-> ^Counterswarm ||**Tiny Linebackers: | ||
| - | |-> ^Directed Swarm ||**Alternate Fire:** Instead of releasing your vermin in every direction, you can pinpoint a specific target for them. You may use your Verminate attack on any single target within 5 meters as an action. Doing so only costs Supply on a 1 instead of the normal 1-3. Having the Directed Swarm ability equipped does not obligate you to use it- you can use your Verminate ability in the normal way too if desired. \\ \\ **Alternate Synergies: | ||

| - | |-> ^Feed Me ||**Return Their Blood:** Your vermin bring back bits of their victim' | ||
| - | |-> ^Infestation ||**Corpse Nest:** Your vermin can enter and infest corpses in their area of effect- either corpses that were already there or ones freshly created by the Verminate attack itself. At any point later on, you can spend an action to command them to burst out. This creates another Verminate attack centered on the corpse' | ||
| - | |-> ^Throw Nest ||**Bee Grenade:** Instead of using a Verminate attack' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Return Clip |**Way Back Sting:** After throwing a nest, your vermin return to you and hit up to three creatures directly between your position and the original target location. The attack on these secondary targets uses the same trigger die result as the original attack. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Vermiburst ||**Huge Swarm:** When the trigger die is 7+, the attack strikes all spaces within 2 meters instead of the normal distance of 1. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Vermincloak ||**Concealing Cloud:** When you use a Verminate attack, you and all allies in the area of effect gain partial concealment until the beginning of your next turn. Moving to a new position cancels this effect prematurely for the mover. | | ||

| - | |-> ^Eyebite ||**Blinding Chems:** The vitriol attack inflicts the Bleary condition when the trigger die is 10+. If the trigger die is 12, it instead inflicts the Blind condition. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Potency ||**Conditioned Wave:** When the vitriol inflicts any conditions such as Dissolving on its primary subject, it also inflicts the same conditions to any secondary subjects struck by splash damage. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Sloppy ||**Hella Splashy:** The vitriol deals splash damage on a 7+ instead of a 10+. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Spillage ||**Caustic Puddles:** After successfully hitting a subject, the excess caustic material forms a 1-meter-wide puddle in the target creature' | ||
| - | |-> ^Unstable ||**Chemical Reaction:** You can choose to quickly mix chemicals together and empower your vitriol, but only at risk of it boiling over in your face. Every time you attack with an Unstable vitriol, you deal +5 damage. However, if the trigger die result is 1-2 your concoction explodes in your hand before you throw it and the attack targets you instead of your intended target.

You can't start doing this if you're already inside the liquid in question- you have to start from a solid position. If you take any action other than constantly moving while on the surface of a liquid, you sink into it (and must swim from there). You have no special protection from dangerous liquids you walk on such as acid or lava. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Launch ||**Dragoon Boots:** As an action, you may immediately launch yourself 10 meters straight up (20 meters if you also have the Springheel ability equipped) and optionally up to 2 meters horizontally in any direction of your choice. You cannot choose to launch yourself a shorter distance than the full 10 (or 20), and if you hit a barrier such as a ceiling you take damage as if you fell the remaining distance (1 damage per 2 meters, applied directly to your Vitality). For example, if you try to Launch yourself in a room with 4-meter high ceilings, you smack into the ceiling and take damage as if you fell the remaining 6 meters (3 Vitality lost). You cannot Launch if you've currently got an impairment to your movement rate for any reason or if you're not on a solid surface to launch off of. | | ||

This reduces your effective bulk (and thus how hard you are to carry) to that of a creature two sizes smaller than you actually are without changing your size or strength. \\ \\ **Float Away:** When subject to any attack or effect that moves you (such as Roh-Dah in the Shout tree or Driver in the Bludgeon tree) you can choose to be pushed up to three times as far by the effect as normal. \\ \\ **Windrider: | ||
| - | | -> ^Springheel ||**Wuxia Style:** You can jump up to 20 meters horizontally or 5 meters vertically. \\ \\ **Acrobatics Synergy:** If you also have the Acrobatics ability equipped, your jumps are enhanced to 50 meters horizontally or 10 meters vertically. Jumps made with the benefit of the Wall Jump ability from the Acrobatics tree have a vertical distance of 20 meters. | | ||
| - | | -> ^Vault ||**Third Law, Applied:** When you successfully strike a target with any melee-type weapon, you immediately float up to three meters up in the air and optionally one meter horizontally in a direction of your choice. \\ \\ **Blows From Above:** You don't fall back to the ground until one of three things happens: you take any action other than attacking a target with a melee weapon, your melee attack fails for whatever reason, or you just decide you want to. If you decide to fall and you've got an action left, you can interrupt that fall at any point with another attack if you want (useful for when you've been Vaulting a lot and are now just out of reach). | | ||

You can own as many different vehicles as you want, but must purchase each chassis separately using Supply (see chart below). Wheeled vehicles can only travel across areas that are relatively flat and smooth- anything too rough and it gets stuck. When traveling uphill, wheeled vehicles must expend significantly more energy than creatures and take an impairment to movement. When traveling downhill, wheeled vehicles can coast, making movement a free action for as long as you're headed downhill (up to twice per turn). You can't choose not to move when going downhill, but you can steer normally. \\ \\ **Extra Strong:** Wheeled vehicles are literally made for carrying stuff, and can carry weight as if they are one size larger than they actually are. Check the Wheeled Size chart below for all your wheeled vehicle' | ||

| - | |-> ^Coasting ||**Keep On Rollin': | ||
| - | |-> ^Hydraulics ||**Sweet Jumps:** The vehicle can make jumps equal to its movement rate in length or half that in height. You can jump any time- no ramps necessary. Distance traveled while jumping counts as normal distance traveled through a move action (you can't jump further than you can move normally). If your movement runs out while jumping, you are still mid-air until your next turn comes up and you cannot take any actions other than continuing your jump until you land. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Off-Roader ||**Rougher Ground:** The vehicle can move over terrain that is not smooth or flat. Anything that a creature could handle without any special difficulty (such as stairs) can now be moved across with the vehicle with equal ease. Like a creature, the vehicle takes an impairment to movement if it enters difficult terrain (sticky mud, shifting sands, deep snow, etc). The vehicle still can't go anywhere that a human would have to use their hands for (such as up ladders). | | ||

| - | ^Wonder |||**Slot Machine of Fate:** As an action, you can unleash a random effect against any target of your choice within 5 meters of your position. Concealment and cover are irrelevant to the functioning of Wonder; you need only know that a target exists. You can target yourself with Wonder if desired. Roll a die and consult the Wonder Reel below to discover what happens to your target. The die rolled for the Wonder Reel is not a trigger die and thus cannot be affected by abilities that manipulate probability such as Lucky or Oracle. \\ \\ **Dicey Situations: | ||
| - | |-> ^Ante Up ||**Spread Chaos:** When you choose an effect from those available to you on the Wonder Reel, you can choose to spend 1 Supply to also affect any other target of your choice that's within 5 meters of the original target (or within 20 meters of the original, if you also have Barker equipped). You can freely do this as many times as you like (and have Supply for). | | ||
| - | |-> ^Barker ||**Rope 'Em In:** You can use Wonder on any target within 20 meters instead of the normal 5. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Buyback ||**Know When To Fold 'Em:** Any time you use Wonder on a target and dislike the outcome, you can choose to spend Supply to negate it entirely. You must decide to use Buyback immediately after rolling up the effect but before you actually bestow it. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Doubles ||**Make A Pair:** If you roll two or more of the same number when using the Wonder Reel and choose the listed effect, it is increased in strength. Check the " | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Triples |**Three of a Kind:** Rolling three or more of the same number empowers an effect even further. Check the " | ||
| - | |-> ^Huckster ||**Pass The Buck:** You can specify two different targets before rolling on the Wonder Reel. You choose which target you actually affect at the same time you decide which effect to inflict from those available to you. | | ||
| - | |-> ^Stacked Deck ||**Odds In Your Favor:** Whenever you roll on the Wonder Reel, you can roll +1 extra die. You still can't use Wonder unless there' | ||
| - | |::: |-> ^Double Lift |**Cheating Fate:** As Stacked Deck, but you can roll +2 extra dice on the Wonder Reel. | | ||
