This reference card will help you better understand the information provided for each boon.

Description

This section provides a general idea of what the boon could look like in the story.

Invocation Time

The required time that it takes to invoke the boon. Most boons have an invocation time of 1 normal action. For boons that have a longer time, you must spend the entire invocation time concentrating on nothing other than invoking the boon. If you are interrupted, you must start the casting over.

Duration

Most boons have a duration of "sustain persists", which indicates that the caster must use a sustain action every round in order to keep the boon in effect. If you have a boon in effect and don't sustain it, the boon is dispelled at the end of your turn. Because sustaining a boon is a minor action, which can only be taken once per turn, you can typically sustain only one boon at a time.

Power Level

This number indicates the required attribute score needed to invoke the boon. If multiple power levels are listed (such as 2 / 4 / 6), then the boon can be invoked at multiple tiers of power. The Heal boon, for example, heals more damage as you invoke it at higher power levels. The power level of a boon also determines the Challenge Rating of the attribute roll to invoke the boon. The CR equals 10 + 2 x Power Level.

Effect

This entry indicates the mechanical effects of the boon on the rules of the game.

Effect

When you invoke this boon, you must use multi-targeting to create a specific area of effect to define the space of your barrier. Upon successful invocation, choose a number of available properties for your wall based on your power level:

• Power Level 3 - Choose 1 property: Damaging (1d4), Obscuring, Hindering
• Power Level 5 - Choose 2 properties: Damaging (1d8), Obscuring, Hindering, Baneful, Mobile
• Power Level 7 - Choose 3 properties: Damaging (1d10), Obscuring, Hindering, Baneful, Mobile, Impassable
• Power Level 9 - Choose 4 properties: Damaging (2d6), Obscuring, Hindering, Baneful, Mobile, Impassable

Damaging: A creature who ends its turn within the barrier or willingly enters it, automatically suffers the indicated damage. A creature may only suffer this damage once per round.
Obscuring: Creatures cannot see through any part of the barrier or anything within it.
Hindering: Creatures move at half speed when travelling within the barrier.
Impassable: Creatures and objects cannot move through the barrier. If you place an impassable barrier in a space occupied by a creature, move that creature to the closest position of their choice that is not inside of the barrier. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
Baneful: Choose a bane which you can inflict that has a power level less than or equal to the power level of your barrier. When a creature ends its turn within the barrier or willingly enters it, you may immediately make a bane attack against it to inflict the chosen bane. A creature can only be subject to one such bane attack from this barrier per round.
Mobile: You may spend a major action to move the barrier up to 30 feet.

Description

Whether through magical summoning, energy manipulation, or some other means, you illuminate an area with a bright light. An android activating its head lamp, a fire mage creating a dancing torch flame, and an alchemist cracking a glow globe are all examples of this boon in play.

Attributes

Creation Energy

Effect

Choose a space or object within range. Extraordinary light emanates from the target to a radius equal five feet per power level of the boon. If the light area overlaps an area affected by the darkness boon, then the one of greater power level supersedes the other. If the power level of both is equal, then they cancel each other out.

Description

Whether through a magical force field, an elemental wall, self-attaching body armor, or a temporary mutation, the target becomes resistant to the effects of damage from a certain type of attack. This boon is common among abjurers, engineers, telekinetisists, and elemental mages.

Attributes

Alteration Energy Movement Protection

Effect

When the boon is invoked, the invoker chooses one type of attack and the target gains resistance to that type. The types include precise, forceful, fire, cold, lightning, acid, influence, and entropy (other types may be approved by the GM). The effect of the resistance is determined by the power level of the boon (the following are not cumulative):

• Power Level 3 - The target's defense scores are increased by 3 against the chosen attack type.
• Power Level 5 - The target's defense scores are increased by 6 against the chosen attack type.
• Power Level 7 - The target's defense scores are increased by 9 against the chosen attack type.
• Power Level 9 - The target is immune to damage and harmful effects from the chosen attack type.
