-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 negatives you'll have to add to offset its advantages. This means an Invoker's attacks require a bit more planning and mental effort in order to re-balance the equation in order to achieve a desired result in the shifting circumstances of battle, which some players might enjoy and many will not. That's okay.+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}}**Overcome Anything:** As far as you're concerned, all failure chances are basically the same and can be equally accounted for. You can spend Supplies 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>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Enhanced Efficiency:** You can choose to reduce failure chances by 9 or 18 by spending 1 or 2 Supplies respectively instead of only reducing failure chance by 6 or 12. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Dilation Bonus:** If you also know the Dilation ability from this class, you can also reduce failure chance by 27 for 3 Supplies or by 36 for 4 Supplies. |+^{{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. |

 +^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Collateral:** You can choose for your attack to also strike one random ally that's in the same node as you. Adding a collateral target generates 1 Pull, adding two collateral targets generates 2 Pull, and adding three collateral targets generates 5 Pull. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pull: Collateral:** Randomly-selected collateral targets can include yourself, but won't necessarily unless you're all alone. 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. |

-^Demolition Ground |Space has been set aside for properly testing large munitions. Adventurers can spend a training fee of 1 Dosh in the establishment to temporarily increase their Whelm combat skill by +1 until the end of the current session. A Demolition Ground cannot be used more than once in a given session by any single adventurer. | 
-^Invoker School |The settlement hosts an institution that teaches the secrets of this class for a small fee. Keystones of this class can be purchased here for 1 Dosh each. | 
-^Squad |The settlement is home to a squad of 10 soldiers focusing on this class's weapon type. A single settlement can have multiple versions of this enterprise. All 10 soldiers are level 5 and have the same abilities/statistics, determined by you. At least two of the soldier's five abilities need to be weapon abilities, and all of the soldier's abilities need to be ones personally known by the retiring adventurer who establishes the squad. Squads fight for the interests of their local settlement. If a squad is wiped out, it can be restored to fighting order by spending 5 Dosh. |
