---

RARITY
Creatures, items, spells, and many other abilities can be common, uncommon, or rare. Attempting to learn information about uncommon and rare targets have DCs that are 2 and 5 points higher than normal (respectively). When uncommon and rare abilities and traps are used against you, their attack rolls/DCs are 2 and 5 points higher than normal the first encounter they're used against you (and 1/2 thereafter). If you have an edge against something, you treat it as common instead of uncommon, or as uncommon instead of rare. If you have major edge, you always treat it as common.

---

PREREQUISITES
Some abilities require you to have other abilities, attributes, or skills first. Your ability tier cannot exceed your attribute modifier or skill proficiency bonus (+2 if trained, +4 if proficient, +6 if expert, +8 if master, +10 if legendary). If multiple attributes or skills apply, pick one attribute and one skill among them to be your limiters.

---

TIERS
All abilities are tier 1 unless noted otherwise. You can increase an ability's tier by adding upgrades to it. Upgrades are listed below the ability itself. Each upgrade increases the ability's tier by 1. You cannot have an ability with a tier exceeding 4 + 1/5 your level. Some upgrades have the "superhuman" tag meaning they cannot be talent or luck but must result from biology, magic, or tech.

---

USING SPECIAL ABILITIES
Unless noted otherwise, special abilities cost 1 focus/tier. Consuming focus represents you using ammunition, concentrating, thinking hard about something, or otherwise using energy and resources.

Duration
Traits and powers that last 10 minutes or longer require you to invest focus. Invested focus reduces your maximum focus pool by the amount invested. When you deactivate a power with invested focus, the focus does not immediately return but must be recovered normally. However, your maximum focus does immediately return. Unless noted otherwise...

• Attacks and powers that directly deal, heal, or reduce damage are instantaneous.
• All other powers that create a buff or area effect last until the end of your next turn.

Focus (1 Action)
So long as your total number of focus points is lower than or equal to your level, you can use the Focus action to gain an amount of focus equal to 1d6 + level. This represents you reloading, unjamming a weapon, taking a deep breath, concentrating, hyping yourself up, looking around for a clip, or otherwise gathering immediately physical or mental resources you need.

---

TYPES

---

Every special ability has 3 basic types:

1. Acquisition Type: Every special ability is either Innate or Item-based. Innate abilities are part of you while items can be removed from you but they can also be easily swapped out for new items at certain locations. If this part is blank, it means it can be either Innate or Item-based, chosen by you when you acquire the ability.
   
2. Source Type: You also choose one of the following choices for your special ability when you acquire it: biotics, luck, magic, talent, or tech.
   • Biotics: Biotic abilities result from your bizarre or alien genetic structure. They can be powers or traits and either biology or magic-based but are always innate. Only organic creatures can have biotic powers.
   • Luck: Luck abilities aren't supernatural but occur as a result of destiny, fate, serendipity, or possibly good planning and foresight on your part. You can't throw a fireball, but you were secretly aware that the fuel tank behind your foe was leaking and would blow with a well-placed lit cigarette.
   • Magic: Magic abilities result from the mysterious force simply called "magic".
   • Talent: Talent abilities are not superhuman. Most adult humans given enough practice and training could feasibly gain and master a feat whereas special items and powers provide superhuman effects. If an ability is listed as "superhuman", it cannot be a talent.
   • Tech: Tech abilities result from advanced technology, typically gear you wield or wear, but also gear you may simply have access too. For example, hacking computers is a tech power you can use anytime you're operating a computer. Tech powers can be disabled by simply swiping your gear from you or blocking you from accessing technological devices.
   
   
3. Activation Type: All abilities are either a Power or Trait. Unless noted otherwise, powers cost 1 focus/tier to use while traits reduce your maximum FP by 1/tier but are always active or useable at-will without cost. You can turn traits into powers by requiring 1 action and 1 focus/tier to be used to activate it for 1 minute (if combat-based) or 10 minutes (non-combat ability).

---

ITEMS
Item abilities come from gear that can be disarmed or sundered. All items are wielded or worn.

Limited-Use: If you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll or skill check using an item, it jams or runs out of ammo (firearm, tool, etc.) or you run out of them (grenades, potions, etc.) You must use an action and make a skill check to unjam, reload, or find more.

Trading Items: Unlike innate abilities, you can easily swap old gear for new gear at your leisure as long as you have access to a place where you can feasibly buy, craft, or otherwise acquire it.

Versatile Items: You can merge multiple abilities into one item, up to a maximum number of tiers worth of abilities equal to the maximum  tier you can have per device. Unless noted otherwise, each item has a hardness of 6 + twice it's tier. If an item is broken, see the Broken condition.

Wielding Items: Wielded items requires 1 action to draw it from a sheath, pick it up off the ground, or grab it from another other obvious location or 2 actions to draw it from a stored location such as from inside a backpack, hidden compartment, under clothing, etc. It requires a separate action to activate it or use it just like any other ability. Wielded items can be disarmed, which knocks them out of your hand or out of their sheath. Any item can be sundered with a normal attack.

Wearing Items: Worn gear requires 1 minute to don or remove. Items that create effects that last longer than 10 minutes must be worn gear unless the GM notes otherwise. You can't wear more than a total amount of tiers worth of items that exceeds 4 + your Strength (Brawn) modifier. You can't benefit from a long rest while wearing a total amount of tiers worth of items that exceeds your Constitution saving throw.


Example Gear:
Semi-auto Slugthrower Pistol (Blast 2 [upgrade 1, unavoidable 1]: Active/Wielded, Reload 1-3): Marksmanship vs. Dex (Light Ranged Attack +1/1d6 piercing)
Light Armored Vest w/ basic Shielding (Armor 2: Passive, Worn; Shielding 1: Active, Recharge 1-3/20) 3: +1 STR DC, +1 DEX DC, 1 action activate shielding for 5 temporary HP for 1 minute
Medical Kit (Lay on Hands 2: Active, Recharge 1-3/20, Wielded) 2: Biotics vs. DC11 (Medium Melee Buff 2d6 healing to living creature)

If rolling with advantage or disadvantage, you roll 4d6 and keep the highest/lowest 3. Assurance makes both natural 1s and natural 20s impossible as the minimum 3d6 result is 3 and maximum is 18, but it greatly increases the chance of an average result (10-11).

---

Area You can target 1 additional large-sized creature for a major obstacle per time this upgrade is applied. You can target 1 huge-sized creature instead of 2 large-sized creatures, 1 gargantuan creature instead of 4 large-sized creatures, or 1 colossal creature instead of 8 large-sized creatures.
Sustenance (+1) You can conjure material that can be used as sustenance for the target instead of a major obstacle. You must choose one type of sustenance each time you apply this upgrade. (e.g. food, drink, battery power, etc.) The amount produced will quench only momentary hunger, thirst, etc. for up to 1 minute. To create lasting sustenance, you must spend 1 surge allowing it to sustain those who imbibe it as if they'd consumed 1 day's worth of sustenance.
Heightened You can now create minor/major obstacles respectively. If you apply this upgrade a second time, it increases to moderate/overwhelming obstacles. Each time it is applied, it also increases the damage you deal to obstacles when attempting to destroy them by 2d8 each time it is applied.

Type(s) Power

---

As a reaction triggered by an enemy making a physical attack against you that does not target another creature within reach, you can move behind or swap places that creature and they become the new target of the attack.

---

CRITICAL FOCUS

---

Type(s) Trait
Prerequisite(s) Select one attack you possess.

---

Your chosen attack scores a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 if they hit but don't necessarily automatically hit on a 19.

---

CUTTING WORDS

---

Type(s) Innate Power (Communication, Emotion, Enchantment)
Prerequisite(s) Charisma

---

You can use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others.

---

DARKVISION

---

Type(s) Innate Trait
Prerequisite(s) Perception, Wisdom

---

You can see in dim and low lighting conditions normally suffering no penalty to attacks or perception. This doesn't allow you to see in total darkness.

---

Upgrade At tier 2, you can see in total darkness but this doesn't let you distinguish color under such conditions. You must select a specific type of spectrum you can use to see. Each additional tier allows you to see into a new spectrum. Each spectrum has a foil that blocks it as noted below. Selecting the same vision twice allows you to see invisible targets so long as you're able to see in those circumstances.

• Arcane Sight: You can see magical sigils, ectoplasm, and magical residue of magical powers used. You can also see creatures capable of using magical powers. Treat this as if every such creature and effect glowed like candlelight for you but the presence lacking such creatures remains dark to you. You can also see creatures and objects that have been affected by magic at any point in the past, but only while within reach of them. This is useful for noticing magical traps, but doesn't automatically light them up as much as allow you to search for them normally in circumstances where you'd normally be blind.
• Ghostsight: You can see creatures and spirits and their imprints on objects even in total darkness. Treat this as if every such creature glowed like candlelight for you but the presence lacking such creatures remains dark to you.
• Lifesight: You can see fungi, plants, and other organic creatures and their imprints on objects even in total darkness. Treat this as if every such creature glowed like candlelight for you but the presence lacking such creatures remains dark to you.
• Magnetovision: You can see magnetic fields. So long as you're not in the presence of powerful magnets or constantly shifting magnetic poles, you can see in total darkness.
• See In Darkness: You can see into darkness itself as a metaphysical concept. Any location within your current scene that others within the same scene can't see, you CAN see solely because they cannot. If someone sees something, you cease to be able to perceive it through this ability but must use your normal senses instead. Multiple creatures with this ability do not count against each other.
• Thermovision: You can see into the thermographic spectrum. So long as targets are not covering or disguising their heat signatures, you can see clearly in total darkness.
• Truesight: You can through concealment caused by holograms or other illusions. Taking this a second time allows you to see through glamers within the same melee unless the creator is a higher level then you, then you roll resistances against it as normal but with advantage.
• Ultravision: You can see into the ultraviolet spectrum. So long as you're not in the presence of an overwhelming number of active electronic devices, you can see in total darkness.

A creature that is immune to the damage type you choose is unaffected.

---

DEFENSIVE FIGHTING

---

Type(s) Trait
Prerequisite(s) Dexterity or Strength, Guard

---

While you are wearing armor, using a shield, or benefiting from the defend action, you gain a +1 bonus to your STR DC or DEX DC, whichever is lower.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the projectile if it is small enough for you to hold in your free hand(s). If you catch a projectile in this way, you can spend 1 surge point to make a ranged throwing attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You cannot throw a projectile moving as supersonic speeds (such as bullets) unless you yourself are moving as super speeds (such as by haste, time slow, or time stop).

Describe the assistance you seek, and roll 1d20. If you roll 11 or greater, you gain divine intervention. The GM chooses the nature of the intervention as explainable by luck (narrative deus ex machina); the temporary effect of any two or three powers of equal or lower tier to this one would be appropriate.

---

EMPATHY

---

Type(s) Superhuman Trait
Prerequisite(s) Wisdom

---

You can sense the presence of strong emotions and sapient thoughts nearby automatically if they're not actively being hidden.

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage or that deals half damage on a miss against your Dexterity defense, you gain minor resistance against the effect.

On a failed save, the creature is unable to speak a deliberate lie, and all Charisma checks directed at the creature are made with advantage for 10 minutes (Charisma save DC11 + your attack bonus ends). You know if it succeeded or failed on its saving throw. An affected creature is aware of the effect and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such a creature can be evasive in its answers as long as the effect lasts.

---

FAST

---

Type(s) Innate Trait
Prerequisite(s) Dexterity or Strength

---

You can move faster than normal. You can enter or exit a melee as part of another action so long as the other action's target is only yourself and/or your carried gear. Divide normal travel time on foot for you by 1 + this ability's tier.

Type(s) Power
Prerequisite(s) Dexterity, Stealth

---

You can spend 1 minute creating camouflage for yourself using fresh mud, dirt, plants, soot, and other materials naturally occurring in the area with which to create your camouflage. Once you are camouflaged in this way, you gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks and are treated as having total soft cover even while in plain view so long as you remain still without moving or taking actions.

---

HIDDEN TALENT

---

Type(s) Upgrade

---

This upgrade can be applied to any worn item or power with a duration of 1 minute or longer. Your special ability is concealed and well-hidden. Only when it is actively used or someone actively searched for it can anyone get a Wisdom (Perception) or other appropriate check to notice it. In addition, such checks have disadvantage unless using the hidden ability is openly flaunted.

---

INDOMITABLE

---

Type(s) Power

---

GLIDING

---

Type(s) Superhuman Trait
Prerequisite(s) Dexterity

---

You have wings, either natural or artificial, which allow you to glide. This functions as flying except you can never move up and you automatically descend at least 2 yards/meters downwards every round. Depending on the scale of the scene, gliding will only keep you in the air so long. Presume it lasts roughly only 1 round per 3 yards/meters up you are from the ground when you start gliding.[

---

LUCKY SHOT

---

When you spend a surge to improve an attack roll, you can roll the reroll with advantage.

JUMPING

---

Type(s) Trait
Prerequisite(s) Acrobatics or Athletics

---

You can jump twice as far as normal for a human. You suffer no falling damage from falls of a shorter distance than how far you can jump.

---

Upgrade Multiply how far you can jump beyond normal human limitations by twice this ability's rank. At rank 2+ you can choose to continue jumping in a straight line instead of landing during your turn.

MIND CONTROL

---

Type(s) Superhuman Power (Compulsion, Mental)
Prerequisite(s) (Intellect or Charisma), (Any charisma-based skill)

---

As an action, you make a close range Charisma attack against the Charisma DC of a single target creature.

• Hit Target is charmed 1 by you for 1 round.

---

MIND READING

---

Type(s) Power (Divination, Mental)
Prerequisite(s) Intellect or Wisdom, Empathy

---

You can concentrate on a creature you perceive and read their mind. This functions like having a conversation with them except that they are unaware of it, but you learn information from them as if you through a social skill challenge. Despite being unaware, they can still become hostile or suspicious from failed checks through intuition via a failed attempt to read their mind.

---

Upgrade You gain advantage on all social checks to read minds.
Mental Domination (+1) You can apply your Intellect or Wisdom instead of Charisma (or vice versa) to social checks made to read minds.
Mind Skim (+1) You gain the benefits of a 1 minute conversation as a single action when reading a target's mind. If you apply this a second time it increases to the benefits of 10 minutes and a third time to 2 hours.

MINIONS

Type(s) Trait
Prerequisite(s) Charisma*
*If all your minions are synthetic creatures you can use Intellect instead. If all your minions are beasts and/or protozoids, you can use Wisdom instead.

---

You have loyal NPC minions that obey your commands. You can have a single minion or multiple minions but the total level of all your minions combined is equal to half your level. Minions may travel with you or stay behind to keep a base of operations functional. If minions perish, it takes 1 day per level you have to replace them. Your level + tier is the maximum levels worth of minions you can have at a time no one of which can have a level greater than 1/3 this total. Acquiring more than this limit, causes you to lose loyalty from other minions, though you can choose which ones. As 1-3 actions you can order 1 or more minions to take actions. Normally they can take only 2 actions/round and always use 1 to move or assist unless you command them otherwise. Your minion has a bonus to all checks to make this action equal to your Charisma modifier.

---

Battle Minion: A minion that is damaged while within 30 feet of you can half the damage after applying resistances if you choose to lose the hit points in their stead. Each time you add this upgrade after the first, your single highest level minion gains a cumulative +1 to attack and defense while within 30 feet of you.
Horde You gain x3 times more minions with the same minion level cap (x3 the second time, x10 the third time, x30 the fourth time, etc.) So you applying this four times could allow you to have 60 minions that are each 1/4 your level.

When you spend a surge to improve or reroll an attack roll or check made as part of using an ability with the subtype you selected, roll automatically succeeds if the target is a lower level than you.

Upgrade Instead of spending a surge to gain these effects, you can gain these same effects by spending double the normal focus to use the ability or action that you're using, including this one.

You can make Wisdom (Insight) checks to analyze people as a single action. When you do so, you can surmise and learn about events in their past up to days and weeks before observing them rather than just minutes or hours. If you spend a surge, this increases to months and years. This can allow you to learn personal information about them that would be difficult, if not impossible, for someone who was not familiar with them to know such as their what animal their first pet was, when they had their first kiss, where they grew up, their relationship with their parents, etc. This only grants you personal and general information and doesn't grant you exact things like names, passwords, or codes.

This grants you +5 temporary hit points per tier that last for 1 minute or until depleted. If you sustain this effect, you can double the HP but losing concentration on a sustained version causes the entire thing to vanish.

---

Artificial Atmosphere Your shielding provides you breathable air and functions as a water-tight sphere. The second time this is applied it's air tight.

You can change designations as an action at any point within its duration.
Environmental Shields Your shielding provides you Endurance 1 against all environments outside of it. This improves to Endurance 2 if you invest in this twice, Endurance 3 if invested thrice, and so on and so forth.
Regenerating Shields Your shielding gains Regeneration equal to twice the number of times this is selected. If it is reduced to 0, you still have to re-activate the shield as this cannot bring it back automatically.

You are treated as an expert in the chosen skills but only when the specific field applies. If already an expert, you're treated as legendary. If already legendary, you gain the benefits of the Assurance and Reliable Talent abilities for only these specific uses of the skill. If you already have all these other benefits, then treat all rolls you make with the specialty lower than 15 as 15 instead.

---

---

SMOOTH CRIMINAL

---

Type(s) Power
Prerequisite(s) Charisma, Dexterity, Deception, Finesse, and Stealth

---

Immediately before or after making an attack or tinker action, you use an action to make a CHA or DEX check against the WIS DC of anyone that could perceive you doing so. If you succeed, the target doesn't notice you make the designated attack or the tinkering. This doesn't hide other clues such as a smoking gun or fingerprints or that smug look on your face.

---

SPRINTING

---

Type(s) Trait (Movement)
Prerequisite(s) (Dexterity or Strength), Athletics

---

You can choose to move at incredible speeds when you move in a straight line. This functions as Fast Movement (see Charge ability) except that you multiply it by twice this ability's rank.

---

You have advantage on saving throws to resist emotion effects and mental effects.

---

STROKE OF LUCK

If you do so, summoning them from this suspended state is a 2-action activity instead. Sending them into the suspended state requires the same actions (but not focus) as summoning them.

---

Fast Summon Your summoning becomes a 4-action activity. Applying this a second time makes it a 2-action activity.

---

SUPREME HEALING

---

Type(s) Trait
Prerequisite(s) Medicine

Tier 9+ 1 action* --> 1 action* --> 1 action* --> 1 action* --> 1 action*
Fast Healing (Superhuman) You continue to benefit from Survivor even while at 0 hit points.
Regeneration (Superhuman) You automatically regrow lost body parts. The speed at which you regrow them is based on your Survivor tier rather than upgrading this ability. At tier 1, you can regrow a lost body part that's 4 sizes smaller than you in 1 day. It takes 1 step longer for each size larger: 1 week, 1 month, 1 year. Its 1 step shorter if you re-attach the lost body part and hold it to the stump (2 hours). This benefit does not function while you are dead, drained, or petrified. Lost body parts whither and crumble to dust in the same time it takes to regenerate them normally.
*Time can only be reduced to 1 action if the body part is placed back onto or into the body as an action. Otherwise, the minimum is 1 round if no action is taken.

You are treated as tiny for these purposes and cannot affect targets more than 1 size larger than you.

---

Upgrade(s) Every tier greater than 1st treats you as 1 size larger for the purposes of manipulating creatures and objects with your telekinesis to a maximum of colossal size. At size medium and larger, this can allow you to scoop up multiple objects at once or take on much larger targets.

---

TELEPATHY

Tier 6 Range increases to planetary.
Tier 7 Range increases to stellar.
Tier 8 Range increases to galactic.
Digital (+0) Instead of telepathy, you can communicate with other digital receivers by speaking into a mic. If you're in a colonized and modernized area, relays can extend this to an indefinite range but there's a delay the longer the range but using relays also makes you subject to being wire tapped.
Link You can establish a telepathic connection with someone within close range as an action. While linked, you can speak telepathically with them as if 2 tiers higher. It lasts for up to a number of days equal to the number of weeks you've spent time with them (ex. hung out with them, worked with them, etc.).

Scanners that scan for DNA, serial numbers, and similar minutia can still recognize you but have disadvantage on their checks to do so while you have advantage on checks to disguise or bluff your way into convincing others that your two forms are separate entities. Adding this augment a second time allows you to disguise as other creatures of roughly the same size. A third time allows you to disguise as objects of roughly the same size.

VANISH

Type(s) Power (Illusion)
Prerequisite(s) (Charisma or Dexterity), Stealth

You spend an action and focus and become invisible until the end of your current turn but only if you have concealment or cover against a target or they're suffering from any condition that would affect concentration. This is the result of careful timing, speed, and slipping out while no one is looking rather than actual invisibility.

---

Tier 2 Effect lasts until the start of your next turn.
Tier 3 (Superhuman) Effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
Tier 4 (Superhuman) Effect works even when you don't have concealment and when targets aren't affected by conditions that hinder concentration.
