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.

Special (optional)

This optional entry describes any effects that fall out of the normal rule set.

Description

You surround a willing target in an aura that hurts their foes or helps their allies. A shield of gamma radiation that burns attackers, a circle of healing, and an aura of elemental protection are all examples of this boon in action.

Effect

An aura extends from a willing target to a distance determined by the power level of this boon:

• Power Level 4 - 5' radius
• Power Level 6 - 10' radius
• Power Level 8 - 15' radius

Choose a single bane or boon which uses the same attribute that you used to invoke Aura. The maximum power level for the chosen bane or boon is one-half the power level of your aura. Your aura radiates the chosen bane or boon as follows:

• If the aura radiates a bane, then the target of the aura is not affected by it. All other creatures (friend or foe) who willingly enter the area of the aura or end their turn within it suffer a bane attack to inflict the chosen bane. No creature may be subject to a bane attack from the same creature's aura more than once per round.
• If the aura radiates a boon, then the target of the aura is also affected by it. The target and all allies who end their turn within the area of the aura automatically gain the chosen boon. Upon leaving the area of the aura, the boon is immediately removed. No creature may gain a boon from the same creature's aura more than once per round.

Special

This boon may require special attention and adjudication from the GM, as not all banes and boons may be an appropriate fit for an aura. Telekinesis, for example, is not a boon that can be granted to allies and thus does not work well as an aura.

Description

You bolster your target's chances of success via inspiration, augmentation, divine blessing, or supernatural insight. Your target becomes more competent than they normally are. You might grant the sight of an eagle, the problem solving skills of an elite computer hacker, or the social grace of a trained courtier.

Choose a single attribute. The target gains advantage on their action rolls with that attribute according to the power level of the boon.

• Power Level 3 - Advantage 1.
• Power Level 6 - Advantage 2.
• Power Level 8 - Advantage 3.

Description

Healing can be one of two things: the actual mending of wounds and broken bones through sources like medicine, surgery, or supernatural creative life force, or the inspiration of your target to carry on fighting, even in the face of death. This boon is common among clerics, medics, bards, and combat leaders.
