Such an attempt is made with a –0 modifier vs. thrown weapons and a –5 modifier against missiles. It is modified normally by other conditions.

Quick Draw 1 The character doesn’t require a half move (or need to pay any movement cost) to draw a weapon. The character may use the weapon in the same round without suffering the ‘Draw and Use’ Modifier.

Rescuer 2 The character seems to always be there when needed. He may take one action to aid another character or prevent an event that would cause harm to another character. These actions can be only defensive or neutral in effect.

These actions can be announced and resolved after the resolution of the event, in effect backing up in time a bit. The rescuer can even act if he has already gone in the present round (using his next round’s action).

Examples:

• Grabbing a character that has fallen off the cliff.

• Jumping in the way of an arrow that the target would have missed dodging or parrying. He gets his own parry (not dodge), but is hit instead if the parry is missed.

• Parrying an unnoticed back stab for someone.

The character must make a perception roll to notice the danger, and of course must be able to reach the victim with one round of action. The rescuer loses his next action.

Scout 2 The character is expert at moving unnoticed through the wilderness. Halve the normal encounter chances if traveling alone or leading a small group (no more than six).

Sense Danger 3 The character has an instinct that warns him/her when in direct danger. This is above and beyond Perception skill. If the character can make a characteristic save vs. IN, he can take full defensive action even if completely surprised. A successful save will give him a vague idea of proper action even if he/she is completely unaware of what to do by normal means. Example: No, it doesn’t feel like you should duck. Yes, stepping behind the wall seems right…

Reduce the cost by one if the ability only functions in limited conditions. On the ocean or at night for example.

Increase the cost by one if the character is able to additionally sense indirect or nearby danger. Example: “I just know something is out there is hunting us” or “The ghost ship is near, I can feel it.”

Reduce the cost by one if indirect danger is the only thing the character senses.

Sense Evil 2 The character gets an uneasy feeling in the presence of Mystical Evil (Undead, Demons, etc). This gut feeling kicks in whenever within 100 yards and includes a vague idea of direction and distance. The character must make a successful characteristic save vs. IN

Sense Magic 2 The character gets a feeling in the presence of magic. Any magic within twenty feet of the character will be sensed with a vague idea of direction and power if the character makes a successful characteristic save vs. IN

Spell Research 2 The character has mastered the ability to create and develop new spells. Stamina 1 The character ignores the first Fatigue level.

The Streetfighter only takes half the normal modifier for Improvised Weapons. Strong

Concentration

1 The spell caster can maintain concentration despite injury. Damage must exceed the caster’s SL by three points in order to break his concentration.

He does however suffer all other stun effects and the subject of Concentration will continue as per last command.

Survivor 2 The character has the knack of surviving seemly deadly injuries by instinctually rolling with the blow on a successful IN roll. Any damage taken in excess of –3 is halved thereafter (rounded down). Example: A hit doing 17 points of damage to Don the Great who has an LP of 6 would normally result in a –11 wound. This ability reduces the final effect to a ‘mere’ –7.

Ability Cost Effect

Sword Flourish 1 The character may try to impress opponents with his skill in melee. He must not be in melee when making this attempt.

By twirling and waving his weapon (plus flexing his muscles and/or scowling) the character makes any watching opponents of 3rd level or below roll a level vs. level save (modified by WP). All must be within five hexes of the display to be affected.

Failure means a drop of morale (-2) and results in -5 to all combat values. Failure by 3 or more results in fleeing. Throw Melee

Weapon

1 The character can use a melee weapon as a thrown weapon. Such a weapon has a Range of 1 for determining its Range Groups

Too Dumb to Quit 2 The character refuses to go down for the count and will not go unconscious from Cumulative Damage. However taking total damage that doubles the character’s CP value will still result in death.

Tricky Fighting 2 The character is expert at taking advantage of non-lethal openings in a Battle.

If the target makes his parry or dodge by 5 or less, the attacker is still struck by a normal unarmed non-lethal punch from his attacker. If the target only makes his parry or dodge is by 1 or less, the attacker can use a kick in place of the punch.

Use the original SC roll to determine the actual type of blow delivered.

True Artificer 1+ The character grasps the true nature of the creation of magical items and constructions. The character is allowed to advance the Artificer skill one level past existing limits for each point spent.

For example: The Artificer Skill is normally limited to 4th _{level. Spending one point will allow advancement to 5}th_{. Spending 3} points will allow advancement to 7th_.

The character may increase the point expenditure on this ability freely as new points are earned.
