Agility
- Non-feats
- Falling damage reduction is built into Agility
- Faster movement is achieved by spending ability score points in Movement
- Feats
Tumble |
You gain the "Jump" movement type. At-will, as a move action, you leap from your current square to a square within half your normal movement rate; you do not step on the ground in any intervening square, but rather follow a shallow parabolic trajectory (max height = 1/4 jump length). You do not provoke for any square of this movement, nor do creatures and objects block your path (although walls do, and, at the DM's discretion, certain creatures may be especially hard to bypass, requiring an Agility check). |
Extended Reach |
You gain a bonus square of reach, plus one per 10 ranks of Agility. |
Block
- Non-feats
- Basic blocking is built into Block.
- Shield Wall is built into Block (gain +5 to Block per adjacent ally with a shield).
- Shield Bash: all shields also have stats as a weapon; normal dual-wield rules apply.
- Feats
Critical Block |
When you suffer a critical hit while blocking, you may roll Block against the DC of the attack; on success, the damage is normal, not critical. |
Revenge |
When you successfully block an attack, keep track of the damage dealt (before the block). On your next attack against the attacker within 3 rounds, you may add this amount to the damage dealt. You can have only one such "charge" at a time. |
Shield Cover |
While wielding a shield, you grant total cover to adjacent allies in rear arc and anyone directly opposite the attack source. (Normal: all creatures grant cover) |
Rebound |
When you block more than half of a melee attacker's damage, you cause the attacker to become unbalanced (cannot use passive defenses, flank, or threaten until next move action) or be knocked prone (his choice). |
Block Flanks |
You may Block attacks in your flanks, at a -5 to Block Rating. |
Sword-Catcher |
If you mitigate an enemy's attack to zero damage, you may trap the subject's weapon (wielded or natural, as long as it is melee); the subject can no longer threaten or parry with that weapon until they free it by defeating your Block DC with their Melee check, or by dropping the weapon (if possible). |
Concentration
- Non-feats
- Combat Casting just doesn't need to exist anymore. Screw AOOs.
- Narrow Spell: reduces a spell's area by half, adding +100% damage to remainder. If new area is less than 2 squares (burst 2, cone 2, etc) becomes a single-target. Can also narrow a cone into a line x2, line x2 into line x1, etc. Costs 1 Focus per stack.
- You may "tie off" a spell on which you are currently concentrating by spending Focus equal to the spell's original Mana cost. The spell remains sustained without requiring your concentration, as long as you remain conscious, within range, etc.
- Feats
Twin Spell |
You may cast two spells simultaneously in the same action:
|
Spell Mantle |
You may create a Spell Mantle, which is a group of powers whose normal casting time is one swift action or less, for which the target is you. When activated, all spells become active at once, following normal rules (such as Mana cost). The maximum number of spells in this mantle is equal to 1 per point of Concentration. |
Ready for Anything |
When readying an action, you need not specify a trigger; in effect, the chosen action becomes immediate until your next turn. |
Wield Spell |
At-will, free; choose one spell. You are now "wielding" that spell. You threaten an area with the spell (equal to a line 5x1 in your front arc, subject to the spell's range limits). You are considered armed. If you end up using the spell as an attack of opportunity, you must pay its Mana cost; if you use it multiple times in the same round, you need only spend the cost once. |
Interrupt Request |
When readying an action, you need only specify a trigger, not what actions you are readying. Any actions you then take are subtracted from your next turn (max one std, one swift, and one move, plus any free). Cannot combine with Ready for Anything. |
Defender
- Feats
Intervene |
When an ally is attacked, you may move to interpose yourself; treat this as a normal use of Action Points, but at half cost (0.5 AP costs 0 the first time each round, 1 the second, 0 the third, etc...) |
Iron Curtain |
You provide concealment--not just cover--to allies behind you. |
Taunt |
At-will, free, 1 Mana (doesn't require magical ability); subject is compelled to focus hostilities on you (all hostile actions must be centered on you) for 3 rounds. Doesn't work on subjects with no emotion or ability to communicate. |
Riposte |
On a successful Parry, you may take an attack of opportunity against the attacker using the weapon you parried with. |
Dodge
- Non-feats
- Dodge AC is built into Dodge
- Old-fashioned Evasion is pretty much just spending an Action Point.
- Feats
Active Dodge |
Choose one opponent; against that opponent, the Action Point cost for reactions to defend yourself is reduced by half (a half-point action costs 0 AP the 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc time used each round, and 1 AP the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc). |
Against your Active Defense target, the Reflex cost reduction applies to offensive actions as well. | |
Evasion |
Against any hostile effect, you gain a chance of 5% per point of Dodge (max 50%) to flat-out avoid it.
|
Uncanny Dodge |
You may Dodge attacks of which you were unaware, or while you are not alert. |
Critical Dodge |
If you are hit for critical damage, you may roll a Dodge check against the DC; on success, the damage is not critical. |
Evade and Counter |
When an opponent makes a melee attack which you successfully Dodge, you may take an attack of opportunity against them, or, at your option, a five-foot step instead. |
Fortitude

Iron Bones |
Gain Wound Tolerance 1 per 2 ranks of Fortitude. |
Hold Your Ground |
You gain 50% resistance to push/pull/slide effects, stacking with any other such benefit. Any attempt to use such an attack on you in melee provokes an AOO. |
Victory Rush |
When you spend Stamina on an attack which defeats a foe, you regain half the Stamina spent. |
Armor Proficiency |
Reduce the heft of armor and shields by half. |

Each turn, you may sacrifice your move, swift, and/or standard action to gain 1 temporary AP, lasting until the start of your next turn. Max AP gained each turn is 1 per Initiative rank. (Similar to "ready an action", except you don't have to ready a specific action, nor say what you're readying for) |
Blitz |
When attacking flat-footed foes (not unaware foes, but those who haven't acted yet in the encounter), you inflict critical damage. |
Improved Initiative |
When rolling initiative, you roll two d20s, and keep the higher result. |
Preparation |
At the beginning of each round (including a surprise round), you may take an immediate move or swift action, as if you had spent an Action Point, but with no cost. |
Vigilance |
You are always forewarned of danger, even while asleep. You become alert one round before each encounter begins (if asleep, you instead awaken and become alert in the first round). You suffer no penalties to Perception to notice danger due to lack of alertness or even unconsciousness. |

Contingency |

- Feats
Sneak Attack |
(5 SP) When you attack an unalert or unaware target, you inflict critical damage. Applies to melee attacks, or ranged attacks within 1 square per point of Ranged skill. Using a Sneak Attack breaks you out of Hide and makes the target aware of you. |

On success, creatures are "distracted" for 3 rounds, suffering a -10 penalty to further Perception checks. On failure, nothing happens. This is a "stealthy" action and does not cause you to lose stealth. Subjects must not already be aware of you. If subjects are aware of danger, but not you (i.e. in combat), the duration is only 1 round. |
Assassinate |
After making a Sneak Attack, you may immediately attempt to hide again with a -10 penalty to Stealth. On success, the enemy is alerted, but is not aware of you. Normal requirements for hiding still apply. |
