Powers

The Races that exist in Kith Kanaan have access to Powers which are beyond the means of most mortals. While these Races can tap into the supernatural abilities available to them, most mortal characters can only hope to hold such powers at their beck and call. Still, once in a while someone finds the spark of something special within them, awakening a gift that sets them apart from others. These are Powers. Powers are divided into the categories of Affliction, Charm, Form, Innate, and True. Powers are expensive, but their Cost depends on the nature of the character attempting to purchase them.

  • Powers cost 50 DP if the character is Mundane.
  • Powers cost 10 DP each if available to the character's Race.
  • Powers cost 30 DP if it is not available to the character's Race.

Using Powers

Powers are not simply ‘nifty tricks’ a character picks up. Each should be considered carefully. How does the character use their Power? How does it manifest? What does it look like? When a Power is used, it is not like some super hero comic book effect, the character is using a supernatural gift which may strike awe or fear into those who witness it. The Power may not be always available – a unicorn may gain the power of Bleeding, but that doesn’t mean that the unicorn can simply hit someone with a hoof and watch the person bleed to death – the unicorn horn is the source of such crippling injuries. Always look at how the Power is to be used, and ask yourself, does this make sense?

Affliction Powers

These Powers cause lingering effects. An Affliction remains activated for one Scene unless it is stated specifically otherwise. An Affliction must be part of an unarmed or natural attack by the character to be used unless specifically stated otherwise. A character may use multiple Afflictions as part of an attack, producing multiple effects at the same time.

Charm Powers

Charm Powers are used to manipulate ad control the emotions and thoughts of others. With the use of Charm Powers, a character gains a level of influence that most others can only dream of. When a character is attacked with a Charm Power, they may spend 1 Essence to add their Integrity to their Resolve to set the Difficulty of the attack. Opponents attacked by a Charm Power may spend 1 Essence to increase their defensive Trait by the character’s Meditation Skill.

Form Powers

Form Powers are not normally Powers which can be activated and de-activated, but are instead changes to the character’s form, granting them abilities not normally available to the public. These Powers may be natural aspects of the character’s bloodline, or could be a throwback to a more primitive time in history when such forms were natural to the character’s species.

Innate Powers

Innate powers are powers which augment the natural talents of a character, and can be seen as part and parcel of what the character is.
