True Mage

True Mage

If you cast spells, all DCs are based off of your primary spellcasting ability. Otherwise, you can pick a mental ability to be your Track Ability Modifier (TAM) for this track.

Abilities in this track may refer to "discharging" an ability. When this happens, the passive benefit ends and you gain the active benefit at that point. If no duration is given on the active benefit, it lasts one [Round].

Circles

1^st Circle - Kingship^EX

You may bestow ritual blessings upon allies at the beginning of a [Scene]. Until discharged, each of these abilities lasts for the duration of the [Scene]. A creature may only benefit from one ritual blessing at a time. You have access to the following ritual blessings, though each must be placed only once per [Scene] and on a different ally:

• Sword: Whenever an ally who possesses this ritual blessing hits an opponent with an attack, that opponent takes a -10 ft penalty to their movement speed until the end of the [Encounter]. In addition, as a free action after hitting an opponent with an attack, that ally may discharge this ritual blessing to inflict a penalty equal to the number of circles of True Mage you possess to the AC of one opponent within [Close] range. This penalty lasts until the end of the [Encounter].
• Shield: For each opponent, the first time each [Round] that opponent's melee attack hits an ally possessing this ability, that opponent takes 1 point of damage per level of the ally. In addition, as a free action that ally may discharge this ritual blessing to create a spread with a radius of that ally's [Close] range originating from that ally, dealing damage equal to your TAM + your level to all opponents in the area.
• Sceptre: The ally who possesses this ability has the power to speak words which hold greater weight to other creatures. That ally receives a +2 bonus to a social skill of their choice or to Awareness. When attempting to reason with a hostile creature, the ally may discharge this ability as a free action to gain a token for the social encounter.
