powers
Each level, you get one Power Point (plus 4 at level 1). Each can be spent to gain rank 1 in any of the power groups below, or to advance one you already have by 1 rank.
Think of them kind of like classes in 3e, but with no multiclass penalty.
Development list:
- Earth (65%)
- Holy (30%)
- Shadow (60%)
- Telepathy (35%)
- Runeforging (0%)
