Character Feats
These are Feats in which are permitted to be taken by characters and surround the core of what type of character the person is. Anyone may take these feats if the requirements for them is justified in game play.
__________________________________________________________________________
Regeneration
Associated Statistic: Health
Description: By various means, whether biological or external, the character's body gradually and passively repairs itself over time, but only up to a certain amount. If the character is knocked unconscious, this will fight "bleed" at the normal rate, but will not wake it up without 8 hours of rest or assistance. This will also not regenerate limbs unless the limbs are held to the regenerating wound by stitches or other means for hours.
Effect: Every round in combat, restore 5% maximum HP to a total of 25%. Outside of combat, the body gradually repairs itself to 25% HP and sutures small or superficial wounds. This feat will only activate when a character drops below 25% HP, and will only regenerate up to 25% of the character's max HP (that is, a 4000 HP character will not regen past 1000 HP).
Improved Regeneration
Associated Statistic: Health, requires Regeneration feat
Description: By various means, whether biological or external, the character's body gradually and passively repairs itself over time, but only up to a certain amount. If the character is knocked unconscious, this will fight "bleed" at the normal rate, but will not wake it up without 8 hours of rest or assistance. This will also not regenerate limbs unless the limbs are held to the regenerating wound by stitches or other means for hours.
Effect: Every round in combat, restore 10% maximum HP to a total of 50%. Outside of combat, the body gradually repairs itself to 50% HP and sutures small, superficial, and smaller lingering wounds. This feat will only activate when a character drops below 50% HP, and will only regenerate up to 50% of the character's max HP (that is, a 4000 HP character will not regen past 2000 HP).
Manadrive
Associated Statistic: Spirit
Description: A character's spiritual 'battery' naturally restores itself over time, but only to a certain level.
Effect: Every round in combat, restore 2% maximum MP to a total of 10%. Outside of combat, MP gradually restores itself to 10% MP. This feat only activates when a character is reduced below 10% max MP, and will only restore up to 10% max MP (that is, a 1500 MP character will not regen past 150 MP).
Power Supply
Associated Statistic: Health
Description: Whether through a physical power supply or spiritual energy, this character is able to channel energy directly into another object to power it.
Effect: This allows the character to restore energy lost to an electronic device or machinery, pursuant to an MP cost determined by a GM (using the ten-level MP cost system for spell) depending on its size, consumption, and complexity.
Feral Heart
Associated Statistic: Health
Description: Call it a surge, a rage, a high, a rush... whatever it is, when this character feels its prowess peaked, it performs better at almost every level; however, that comes at the cost of exhaustion once the deed is done.
Effect: When this character is affected by the Offense, Defense, Berserk, Fury, Endure, or Fury status effects, this character rolls one "step" higher. Once the effect fades, the character rolls one "step" lower than normal for two rounds.
Adept Assistant
Associated Statistic: Varies
Description: It's all about teamwork! This character takes and gives directions very well, following them to the letter and cooperating with others. Doesn't micromanage.
Effect: When this character uses an "Assist" bonus to boost another character's roll, this character's bonus is calculated at its full skill level plus one-half (as opposed to one-fifth) of the rest of its normal bonus for that check.
Spontaneous Skill
Associated Statistic: Varies
Description: Some will call it inspiration, others dumb luck, and no one really cares. As long as the job gets done, this character can figure out the details in the middle of performing something it's never done before in its life.
Effect: Once per mission, this character may roll a skill he/she has not purchased without the untrained skill penalty.
Lucky Stop
Associated Statistic: Luck
Description: Whether it's a bullet into a dense book, a sword off the only unmarred portion of platemail, or a spell off that locket, this character has divine providence on its side in putting material objects between the character and certain demise.
Effect: Once per mission, this character may avoid one attack that would otherwise reduce it below 0 HP. It is mitigated by an item you just happen to be wearing or carrying, or glances off your armor or clothing in just the right way.
Limit Break
Associated Statistic: Spirit
Description: When in dire situations, a character is able to push him/herself past normal limits, putting a good portion or even all of their skill, energy, and power into a single few seconds in an attempt to overcome an obstacle, whether it be environmental, hostile, or otherwise.
Effect: This feat allows for Abilities to be categorized as Limit Breaks. Abilities that are categorized as such are given a bonus to strength according to the tier of Limit Break they are assigned as, from Level 1 to Level 4. A character's "Limit Gauge" is 100% of their HP. When a character takes damage, their gauge is filled at a 1:2 ratio to the damage actually incurred (after soak, reductions, etc.). When a character's Limit Gauge is filled, they have access to the next level of Limit Breaks. When a character drops below 0 HP, the character's Limit Gauges are decreased by 20% of the gathered amount, the damage that caused a KO is not added or calculated in any way. The more Limit Gauges a character has, the higher level of Limit Break Ability they can use. 1 Gauge = Level 1, 3 Gauges = Level 3, etc. Within the custom ability system limit breaks are allowed to exceed the custom 'limits' damage may exceed the level restriction of any limit break and status effects can have 1 level higher than the abilities allowed.
Trance
Associated Statistic: Health
Description: The unyielding spirit of some characters allows them to go into a trance-like, or overdrive-like state, allowing them to push their bodies above and beyond that which is normally possible. This state is very short lived, but is capable of turning the tides in battle.
Effect: A character's "Trance" state is given an additional 250 Stat Points to be used at their discretion. They may also take 1 additional feat to be active during Trance. "Trance" may be taken more than once. The "Trance" state lasts for 1d3+2 rounds. A character's "Trance" gauge is their HP. When a character takes damage, their Trance gauge fills at a 1:1 ratio to the damage actually incurred (after soak, reductions, etc.). When a character takes 2 Trance Gauges worth of damage, the character may enter a "Trance" state. When a character is KOed, they lose 20% of the trance guage gathered. The damage delt that caused them to be KOed is not counted in any way.
Servant
Associated Statistic: Spirit
Description: An NPC is constantly with your character to assist you. A person can have multiple servants, but each servant must be built separately (one set of feats affect servant A, one set of feats affect servant B)
Effect: The servant character has 500 stat points, but can earn more experience via the master character taking feats or opting to give earned mission xp to the servant instead of the primary character. Every time you take this feat, your servant gets an additional 150 stat points. They are allowed 1 Feat every 200 experience points up to a maximum of 5. This does not include the single 'free' feat all things are allowed. Servants are also allowed traits that sum up to 12 points, but cannot take classes or primary characteristics.
Flunkies
Associated Statistic: Spirit
Description: Your character has a small group which acts as a horde of underlings. Underlings are required to have a character sheet (or at least a template), and do not advance in level or power up. Flunkies can not take feats.
Effect: Up to 5 Flunkies can be made with each iteration of this feat; however, they must all be identical (in form, not fashion). Each flunky is given 300 Stat Points, but cannot gain anymore. Flunkies are capable of using "swarm bonus" of +5 per unit to achieve a single task when they're used together. Once per day, flunkies may be "summoned" by rolling a 1d100. If the result is less than 30, the "swarm bonus" is reduced to only +3 per unit. If the result is more than 70, the "swarm bonus" is +7. On a 100, the "swarm bonus" is doubled to +10 per unit.
Alternate Form
Associated Statistic: None
Description: Transform into an alternate form, which by default has the same amount of experience points you do. Alternate forms can not have effects (such as flunkies) last beyond their time length. When the form ends, so does any ability/projection/etc it was creating.
Effect: Every time you select this feat, elect any two of the following. There is a base time limit on Alternate Forms. 5 minutes out of combat, and 5 rounds in combat.
• +100 Stat Points
• +1 extra feat
• Wings (grants basic 'Flight' feat)
• Improved Weapon (+500 to weapon's damage modifier)
• +1 Giant or Tiny (trait) level. Can be taken multiple times to earn more.
Polymorphing Shape
Associated Statistic: Health
Description: Shapeshift into the likeness of another similar being. With this power, characters are able to transform their appearance to match other humanoids, or in some cases, monsters, dragons, etc.
Effect: The cost for this is variable, the harder the disguise to see through, the higher the mp cost. Each cost is given as a base cost, plus X for every DC 10 needed to recognize the disguise.
• Same Species, easy: 90 mp + 10 per DC 10 (Random person with no specific clothing) PER MINUTE
• Same Species, medium: 250 mp + 90 per DC 10 (Decently recognized person, person wearing specific clothing/uniform) PER MINUTE
• Same Species, hard: 490 mp + 160 per DC 10 (Well recognized celebrity, unique person, requires exact clothing replica) PER MINUTE
• Different Species, same size: 640 mp + 360 per DC 10 PER MINUTE
• Different Species, different size: 1000 mp + 490 per DC 10 PER MINUTE
Transformation
Associated Statistic: None
Description: The character transforms into an entirely other entity, such as a dragon, demon, or other being, and do not eat MP per round like alternate forms. The separate entity has its own character sheet, and is maintained independently from other characters, having its own special powers, skills (including knowledges), feats and stats.
Effect: The alternate form starts at 1500 exp, and gains experience individually through the course of missions and other events. Experience gained from one may be spent on the other, however there is a 20% exp bonus for splitting the experience evenly between two forms.
you don't have to copy this
• Transformations are a unique 1000 stat point character sheet
• NOTHING automatically carries over between forms
• Transformations cost MP from both forms to shift into, but not to stay in. They also have no time limit.
• Experience may be spent on either forms to power them up, however evenly splitting experience will give each form 70% of the given experience instead of just 50%. Instead of splitting 10 EXP and receiving 5 to each form, both forms receive 7.
Grids and Sphere Transformations
Associated Statistic: Spirit
Description: This feat grants a character the ability to use special items called Spheres to transform their characters. These Spheres will assist in altering the character's base form in multiple ways, though the character at heart will remain the same. A character with thiefy tendencies may become a spellcasting mage, while an engineer character may pick up the sword in one of his Spheres' alternate forms. These changes can last as long as the character wants while still in possession of the Spheres, but watch out -- there ARE hunters out there who would be more than glad to rob you of them. Even MORE valued than the Spheres themselves are their Grids. Grids are linking items that a user carries to interface with their Spheres. Without Grids, Spheres are useless.
Effect: Sphere transformations are very similar to the standard Transformation feat listed above, in the sense that this feat will allow a character to have multiple sheets in play for the same character. However, several key aspects of this feat have been changed. Along with Spheres themselves, there will also be a very base implementation of the Grid system. Grids (unless very special) will only grant Slots to place a Sphere in, such as a Utility Belt would.
you don't have to copy all this to your sheet
Aspects of Sphere Transformations:
• Each Sphere the character possesses grants a specific character sheet for that sphere.
• As Spheres are found, more sheets may be added to a character's stack on-the-fly.
• A character may start with their base form and ONE sphere. All others must be located in gameplay through various means.
• Spheres, unless otherwise noted, do not give a character bonus statistic points. They do, however, allow a character to redistribute their current statistics in various ways within reason. There are several guidelines to this that must be followed:
1) A statistic may not decrease more than 50% from base form to Sphere.
Example: John's base form has 100 Dexterity. None of his Spheres may have less than 50 Dexterity.
Example 2: Cleo's base form has 350 Intelligence. None of her Spheres may have less than 175 Intelligence.
2) A statistic may not increase by more than 200% from base to Sphere.
Example: John's base form has 120 Strength. None of his spheres may have more than 240 Strength.
Example 2: Amanda's base form has 30 Spirit. None of her spheres may have more than 60 Spirit.
3) No Sphere sheets may have a skill higher than their highest base form skill level.
Example: Fran's base form has Level 4 Weapons Proficiency: Bows and Arrows, Level 2 Roll, Level 3 Reaction, Level 1 Run, Level 1 Jump, Level 3 Arcana, and Level 2 First Aid. None of Fran's Spheres may have a skill level higher than Level 4.
4) No Abilities or Spells carry over from base form to spheres or vice versa.
Example: Erin has a cadre of spells at her disposal in her base form. However, should she use even a magical-based sphere, none of her base form spells are usable in her new form. In reverse, none of her new sphere's spells are available to her base form.
5) Sphere sheets do not grant feats. A character may only have a single set of feats, period. These feats apply to all dress sphere forms.
Example: Ishiida has the Enhanced Attack Maneuver, Improved Physical Damage, Dodge Mastery, Limit Break, Regeneration, and Flight feats in his base form. If he uses a magic-based Dress Sphere, he will not be able to change these to Improved Magical Damage, Arcane Mastery, etc.
- As a character gains experience, this experience may be used to advance the base character, a dress sphere, or both. If a character decides to split the experience between multiple places (even just two or more spheres), the guidelines of experience splitting in the transformation feat must be followed.
- Unlike the Transformation Feat, it does not cost MP to switch from one sphere to the other. It does, however, still take an Action in combat.
- Transformations are only available when the Sphere is equipped to a character's Grid.
- A character may only equip one Grid at a time. A character starts out with a 3-Slot Grid, and more may be acquired as the game progresses.
EXPERIENCE EXAMPLES: (for Transformation and Sphere Transformation feats)
Favored Weapon
Prerequisite: Generally taken on creation, but this is flexible with good IC reason
Description: Some warriors, humans in particular, develop a certain emotional attachment to their weapon, whether it be a samurai's katana becoming an extension of his body, a mercenary naming his favorite grenade launcher, or a squire taking up the sword of his fallen master. The character starts with an above average weapon, which may have unique abilities or better stats than usual for its tier.
Effect: Applies one of the below traits to a starting weapon. Multiple iterations can be taken, applying to different traits below, or applying to a different starting weapon. With the exception of 'Soul' and 'Sword Eater', this Feat adds a +15% to the Cost of upgrading, and +10% to the DC.
Soul
Chrysalis
Shifter
Empathic
Sword Eater
Apathic
These are Feats in which are permitted to be taken by characters and surround the core of what type of character the person is. Anyone may take these feats if the requirements for them is justified in game play.
