-. +An Invoker's preferred method of attack is somewhat more complex than most other weapons, but affords ultimate flexibility in target selection and extras. The better you want your attack to be, the more downsides you'll have to add to offset its advantages. Since you have to re-balance the equation every time you attack, this archetype is deliberately more complex than most others to appeal to the kind of player who enjoys that sort of thing.

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack:** As an action, you may make a Whelm attack against up to 10 targets of your choice that are within 20 meters of your position. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Perfect Targeting:** This weapon does not indiscriminately strike an area, and thus never hits any target except for the ones you want it to. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Afraid, Choking, or Nauseous conditions to its target(s). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Special Failure: Distance:** Attacks with this weapon suffer a special failure chance of 3 if one or more of the intended targets is 3-5 meters away. This failure chance increases to 6 if an intended target is 6-10 meters away and 9 if an intended target is 11-20 meters away. Only the furthest-away target contributes to this failure chance, and it is only applied once. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Special Failure: Targets:** Attacks with this weapon suffer a special failure chance of 3 if you wish to target 2 creatures at once with it.

Adding positive effects to an attack generates points of "Push", while adding negative effects to an attack generates "Pull." In order to actually make an attack, Push and Pull must be equal. You can decide exactly which effects you want to add every time you make an Invoker attack, and are not obligated to add any at all if you'd rather not. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Push: Targets:** You can target more than one subject with this weapon, up to a maximum of 10 at once. This generates 1 Push for 2 targets, 2 Push for 3-5 targets, and 3 Push for 6-10 targets. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Push: Range:** You can target subjects further away than 2 meters, up to a maximum of 20. This generates 1 Push for targets within 3-5 meters, 2 Push for targets within 6-10 meters, and 3 Push for targets within 11-20 meters. If your attack is targeting multiple subjects, you generate Push only for the one that's furthest away. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Failure:** You can add a special failure chance to your attack. This generates 1 Pull for a failure chance of 3 and 2 Pull for a failure chance of 6. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Supplies:** You can choose for your attack to cost Supplies. This generates 2 Pull if you spend 1 Supplies and 5 Pull if you spend 2 Supplies. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Reduced Complexity:** You can choose to reduce all special failure chances incurred by this weapon (from hitting multiple targets and/or those further away) by 6 or 12. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Increased Cost:** When you choose to reduce failure chance by 6, you must spend 1 Supply/Ammo Bag use. When you reduce special failure chance by 12, you must spend 2 Supply/Ammo Bag uses. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Special Only:** You cannot reduce other failure chances (such as from concealment, cover, or mismatched sizes between attacker and target) in this way. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Front-Loaded Only:** You can only choose to reduce your failure chance before you actually roll the trigger die- once you've rolled it, it's too late to modify your attack in this way. |+

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Proper Preparation for Perfect Performance:** As an action, you can perform calculations, focusing chants, or similar preparation. Every time you Calculate, all special failure chances on your single next Invoker attack are reduced by 6. This benefit is cumulative from multiple Calculate actions. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fleeting:** The benefits of Calculate only apply to the single next Invoker attack and are all lost afterwards, even if you didn't actually need all of the calculations you performed. All unused Calculate actions are lost at the end of each exploration turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Special Only:** You cannot reduce other failure chances (such as from concealment, cover, or mismatched sizes between attacker and target) in this way. |+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Calculation:** As an action, you can perform calculations, focusing chants, or similar preparation. Every time you Calculate, you generate +2 Pull that can be used to offset Push on your single next Invoker attack. This benefit is cumulative from multiple Calculate actions, up to a maximum of +5 calculation Pull. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fleeting:** The benefits of Calculate only apply to the single next Invoker attack and are all lost afterwards, even if you didn't actually need all of the Pull you generated. |

 ^ ^^^ ^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Overcome Anything:** As far as you're concerned, all failure chances are basically the same and can be equally accounted for. You can spend Supply/Ammo Bag uses to reduce failure chances from non-special sources such as concealment, cover, and mismatched sizes between attacker and target just like you can to reduce special failure chances. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Calculator's Boon:** If you also know the Calculate ability from this class, its failure reduction benefits also apply to non-special sources of failure with this weapon. |+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Push: Bypass Concealment:** You can choose for the attack to be better at dealing with concealment. Making the attack reduce failure chance from concealment (total concealment is treated as partial, partial is ignored) generates 1 Push. Completely ignoring all failure chance from concealment generates 2 Push. |
 ^ ^^^ ^ ^^^
-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Enhanced Efficiency:** You can choose to reduce failure chances by 9 or 18 by spending 1 or 2 Supply/Ammo Bag uses respectively instead of only reducing failure chance by 6 or 12. |+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Push: Bypass Size Failure:** You can choose for the attack to be better at dealing with targets of different sizes. Reducing size-based failure chance by 12 against smaller targets or larger targets (your choice) generates 1 Push. Reducing size-based failure chance against both larger and smaller targets by 12 generates 2 Push. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Size Failure Only:** This option only reduces failure chance from mismatched sizes, not failure chance from any other source. Failure chance cannot be reduced below 0. | 
 +^ ^^^ 
 +^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Predictability:** You can choose to make your attack incapable of surprising you. Predictable attacks cannot critically hit and do not inflict standard conditions when the trigger die is 10+. Making an attack predictable generates 1 Pull. | 
 +^ ^^^ 
 +^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Instability:** You can choose to make your attack unstable, creating more trouble for yourself in the future in exchange for greater power right now. Whenever you make an unstable attack, all future Invoker attacks you make until the end of the current exploration turn start with +1 extra Push on them with no direct benefit. Making an attack unstable generates 2 Pull. Multiple Push penalties from unstable attacks stack with each other. |

Collateral targets can be struck regardless of choices you've made about range or number of targets. If a single target is unlucky enough to be selected multiple times, then they get hit multiple times too. |

Rolling to remove as an action during the round does not cause damage regardless of trigger die result. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} All spaces within 1 meter are fully lit, all within 2 meters are dim light (or fully lit if they were already dim light). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?18&align=left}} This condition is automatically removed by getting wet or entering an airless environment. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?18&align=left}} This condition is automatically spread at the beginning of each turn to any adjacent creature that is grabbing or being grabbed by a creature that already has it. |

If no Energy remains, lose Flesh instead. Rolling to remove as an action during the round does not cause lost Energy regardless of trigger die result. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?18&align=left}} When rolling to remove condition at the end of the round, gain a random mutation if result is 1 and do not mutate if result is 2+. Rolling to remove as an action during the round does not cause mutation regardless of trigger die result. |
