When you create a potion that restores a single creature's HP and/or MP, you may have it affect up to 【SL】 additional creatures. If you do, the potion only restores half the normal amount of HP and MP to each creature.

Secret Formula (✦5)

When you create a potion or magisphere whose effects restore HP and/or MP, each restored amount is increased by 【SL × 5】. When you create an elemental shard, potion, or magisphere that deals damage, that item deals 【SL】 extra damage.

Visionary (✦5)

When you work on a Project, up to 【SL × 100】 zenit of material costs are automatically paid; additionally, you generate an additional 【SL】 progress every day. If multiple characters with this Skill work on the same Project, the effects will be cumulative.

Wayfarer



Faithful Companion (✦5)

Together with your group, create a level 5 beast, construct, elemental or plant NPC (see page 302) that becomes your companion: this creature has no initiative score and does not level up, can have a maximum of two basic attacks, gains a bonus equal to 【SL】 to Accuracy Checks and Magic Checks, and their maximum Hit Points are equal to 【(SL, multiplied by the companion's base Might size) + half your level】. Your companion doesn't get an independent turn during conflicts, but you can use an action to have them perform an action (once per turn). If your companion is affected by any turn-related effects (page 77), these are based on your turn. Your companion joins and leaves scenes when you do, and gains your same benefits for rests. If reduced to 0 HP, your companion flees the scene and rejoins you at the start of the next scene in which you are present, with current HP equal to their Crisis score.

Resourceful (✦4)

You recover 【SL】 Inventory Points after each travel roll.

Tavern Talk (✦3)

When you rest inside an inn or tavern, you may ask the Game Master up to 【SL】 questions about your surroundings and the people who live here; the Game Master will answer truthfully and you describe how you gathered the information.

Treasure Hunter (✦2)

When your group journeys on the world map, you will make a discovery on a roll of 【SL + 1】 or lower on the travel roll (instead of only on a 1).

Well-Traveled

You reduce the die rolled for your travel rolls by one size (to a minimum of d6). If multiple characters have this Skill, the effects are not cumulative.

Weaponmaster



Bladestorm

When you perform a melee attack, you may spend 10 mp to choose one option: the attack gains multi (2); OR you increase the attack's multi property by one, up to a maximum of multi (3).

Bone Crusher (✦4)

When you hit one or more targets with a melee attack that would deal damage, you may have the attack deal no damage. If you do, choose one option: inflict dazed on each target hit by the attack; OR inflict weak on each target hit by the attack; OR each target hit by the attack loses 【SL × 10】 Mind Points. Describe your maneuver!

Breach (✦3)

You may use an action and spend 5 mp to perform a free attack with a melee weapon you have equipped. This attack must target a single creature. If the attack is successful, it deals no damage and you choose one option: you destroy one shield equipped by the target; OR you destroy the target's equipped armor; OR whenever the target suffers damage from a source before the start of your next turn, that source deals 【SL × 2】 extra damage to them.

Counterattack

After an enemy hits or misses you with a melee attack, if the Result of their Accuracy Check was an even number, you may perform a free attack against that enemy (after their attack has been fully resolved). This attack must be a melee attack and must have that enemy as its only target; treat your High Roll (HR) as 0 when calculating damage dealt by this attack.

Melee Weapon Mastery (✦4)

You gain a bonus equal to 【SL】 to all Accuracy Checks with melee weapons.
