While armor keeps characters alive in a fight, just because they are not physically taking some or all of the damage doesn't mean that damage doesn't occur. Some battle scarring could symbolize prowess, but that wear and tear will also reduce its overall effectiveness. When taking it in for repairs is not an option, these kits provide the tools and materials necessary to keep it clean and functional. Kits are purchased for specific types of armor, i.e. carbon mesh, ablative, recon, etc., and purchased at a quality cost equal to that of the armor. Repairing armor with a lesser quality Care Kit will reduce the quality of it to that of the kit. It is possible to raise the quality of armor by one level by using a care kit that is two levels higher, i.e. using a High quality kit can increase the armor level from Poor to Good.

Attribute: Strength
Type: Utility
Time: N/A
Description: A character with this skill understands the dynamics of moving heavy objects and has received training in hoisting, heaving, or hauling objects that exceed their normal carrying capacity. When calculating the character’s Carrying Capacity and Lifting Capacity, this skill rank is used in place of the Strength attribute score, and when lifting something that exceeds the Lifting Capacity, they know how to improvise a fulcrum and lever, assuming available materials. The actual amount of weight that can be moved depends on the length and tensile strength of the lever and the stability of the fulcrum. In addition, when trying to break a grapple or pin, the character can use this skill in place of the Strength attribute score, though normal modifiers apply.
Tactical Use: Move crates to make a barrier, carry a companion, or pry open a stuck gate
Specialization: None
Attribute: Agility
Type: Attack
Time: One Action
Description: Characters with this skill are able to make devastating strikes against unaware foes. With a successful skill check, the target is hit with an attack that doesn’t allow for a defend action (like an Attack of Opportunity); the attack results in a critical hit causing body damage, and carries an additional stun effect, normal saves apply. The target must be unaware of the attack, typically with the use of Stealth or a blindsiding attack, though it may also be used on flanked opponents. Those with this skill may choose to act one segment faster in the round, i.e., make melee attacks during the Ambush segment, make ranged attacks during the Melee segment, etc. This attack may only be used once against a particular target in a round, as the attack will make them aware of the attacker. If the skill check fails, the attack misses.
Prerequisites: The Stealth skill and eight points in the skill tree
Attribute: Constitution

And at Master level, the caster’s body becomes the selected consistency (soil, unworked, mineral, or plant), gaining the ability to regenerate – a full round is required with the character either in contact with natural land (soil or unworked mineral) or exposed to sunlight (plant), gaining the healing rate +1 per 4 points in the skill tree. This is a magical effect and does not affect the character’s mobility, weight, or move rate.

Description: With this spell, the caster is coated in a viscous liquid that provides protection by dampening attacks. At Novice level, the caster gains a +3 modifier to their Physical Rating (does not stack with natural or worn armor), and an Impact Rating: 11, Magic Rating: 7 (11 against Water magic), and Elemental Rating: 9; the rating plus Basic Hits provides the armor save for the duration of the spell. When additional armor is worn, ratings do not stack, rather the higher rating is used. Upon reaching Expert level, the caster’s form becomes viscous, providing additional durability that reduces blunt damage by 4 points (durability modifiers do not stack) and allowing for melee or touch attacks at up to two yards distant. And at Master level, the caster is able to manipulate their shape to flow through virtually any tight space, expand to block a passage or doorway of roughly their size, etc. – this is considered a move, and could require multiple actions depending on type, i.e., it will take longer to flow through a keyhole or crack than a grating or pipe. While the spell is active, the caster appears to shimmer and will sparkle in direct light, and when hit, their form rippling at the point of impact.

Those who achieve Master level can attempt to catch items thrown or fired at them with a bow as a defend action. Regardless of how the skill is used, those who are moving suffer a difficult (-4) modifier to the skill check, and an additional skill check is required to maintain a juggle whenever they start or stop moving.

Description: A defensive combat style used to gain a psychological advantage over a foe in combat. Pompous and grandstanding, this style focuses on using melee defends to frustrate and annoy opponents, driving them to make reckless mistakes. Learners are instructed in two forms that carry specific attack/defend modifiers. The Balanced form offers no modifiers and is used to assess threats or in group tactics. The Counter form is a passive stance that has a -2 modifier to hit but offers a +4 modifier to defend using the Block or Parry skill with a proficient weapon or a +2 modifier to other defend skills. Part of the skill involves verbal challenges and mocking that can be played out. During combat the forms can be changed at the start of each round, but may not be changed during the round, carrying over to the next round if no change is announced. It may be used with any attack or defend skills in the tree, and the modifiers stack with all combat modifiers. Only one stance may be purchased during character generation, but others can be selected as the character advances.

This provides them with an additional +1 bonus modifier per three points in the skill tree to any Dance, Escape Artist, Dodge, or Evade skill checks, assuming the character has the skills. In addition, it allows for Tumbling move actions during the character’s attack actions in Initiative, rather than waiting for the Movement phase, and, with a successful skill check, they can dislocate a shoulder and hip joints to squeeze into and move through tiny places. If the check fails, additional attempts to dislocate the joints may be made at a progressive difficult (-4) modifier, but after three fails the character takes disable damage equal to the skill rank to the target joint (normal damage saves apply), and may not try again during that encounter.
Prerequisites: The Tumbling skill and four points in the skill tree
Attribute: Constitution
Type: Defend
Time: One Action
Description: This skill is used to withdraw from melee combat or take cover from ranged combat. The intent to retreat must be announced at the start of the round. When withdrawing from melee combat, with a successful skill check the defender disengages from a single threat zone one yard without drawing an Attack of Opportunity (-4 modifier per additional threat zone) or can take immediate move actions during the attackers initiative phase to remain out of melee range (limited to remaining actions in the round and the characters move rate capability). While seeking cover, with a successful skill check the character is able to move out of line of sight during the attacker’s initiative. Available cover must be within the defender’s single-action move rate and must be durable enough to withstand attack. If the skill check fails, the character is left exposed and may defend normally, assuming additional actions are available and except in the case of an Attack of Opportunity.
Tactical Use: If being charged, the character backs away to remain out of melee range; moving into a doorway to get out of an attacker’s range of sight; drawing back to a hillock for cover, etc.

Description: When this rune is activated, the Runecaster becomes a non-target that is ignored by all targets in the immediate vicinity, assuming that there is someone or something else in that vicinity to draw their focus. The effect moves with the Runecaster and all targets get a Willpower save to negate the effect. Those affected cannot be convinced that the Runecaster is present in the vicinity unless the caster attacks the target. The rune vessel is a square of material that matches the surroundings, i.e., wood for forest, brick for cities, glass for desert, etc., with the sigil drawn on with charcoal or chalk. Once the effect ends, the sigil fades from the item and must be redrawn.
Attribute: Constitution
Type: Move
Time: One Action
Description: Characters with this skill can move at twice their normal move rate for a number of actions equal to the total skill rank. Exceeding the total number of actions will require at least one minute of rest afterward to avoid entering a fatigue state. The difficulty is based on terrain type and the amount of weight that is being carried.
Prerequisites: The Running skill and four points in the skill tree
Attribute: Strength
Type: Attack
Time: One Action
Description: With this skill, a character can make sweeping attacks with a pole weapon. It can be used to attack all targets in a frontal 180º arc within reach of the weapon at no modifier, make a spinning attack to strike all targets in a 360º arc around the character within reach of the weapon at a difficult (-4) modifier, or strike at the legs to make a trip attack at targets in a frontal 90º arc (Reaction save to negate the trip attack). Characters can choose to change their facing by spending one free action to take up to a 90º pivot. Because of its aggressive nature, use of this attack action negates any defensive modifiers gained by stance or defend skills for the round, i.e. Defensive form, Counter form, general Evade, etc. On a successful skill check, the target is hit and may defend normally; if the skill check fails or the target makes a successful defend, the attack misses.
Specializations: (Required) Proficient weapon(s) with reach capabilities
Attribute: Strength
Type: Attack
Time: One Action
Description: Those with this skill can smash bodily into a melee target to drive them to the ground. The attack causes Strength plus basic hits damage, knocking the target prone and causing a stun effect – lose all actions for the remainder of the round and allowed only two actions in the following round, which may be used for defend or move actions. Defenders get a Stamina save (-1 modifier per two points in the skill tree) to resist the stun effect. If the skill check fails or the target successfully defends, the attack misses.
Prerequisites: The Lunge skill and four points in the skill tree
Attribute: Constitution
Type: Attack
Time: One Action
Description: This skill is used against an opponent moving to engage in melee or making a charging type attack. Feigning a defensive position, the character stabs forward and sets the back end of the weapon in the ground as the target approaches, using the target’s forward motion to turn it into an impale type attack. The attacker is required to hold their actions in the round and wait for the target to advance before making the attack. On a successful skill check the attack hits, and because of the deceptive nature of the attack, the defender is required to make a Reaction save or related skill, with a -1 modifier per 2 points in the skill tree in order to take a defend action. If the target’s save is successful, they may defend normally. Any damage from the attack is taken from remaining body points, putting the target in a fatigue state. If the skill check fails or the target successfully defends, the attack misses.
Prerequisites: The Forbear and Forestall skills and four points in the skill tree
Attribute: Constitution
Type: Defend
Time: One Action
Description: Those with this skill can use a reach weapon to turn away a charging attack in a forward-facing arc. The goal of the defensive action is to force an opponent making a rush or charge type attack, whether mounted or not, to divert from the opponent maintaining a distance along the reach of the pole weapon. Opponents may choose to turn away from charging or take damage and continue the attack. Those who choose to take damage suffer normal weapon damage plus their move rate and are allowed an armor check to resist damage, but it is otherwise treated as an attack of opportunity. Characters can choose to change their forward face by spending one free action to take up to a 90º pivot.
Specializations: (Required) Proficient weapon(s) with reach capabilities
Attribute: Agility
Type: Defend
Time: One Action
Description: This skill is used with reach weapons to keep opponents in a forward-facing arc from moving into melee combat, and may be used in two ways. As a defensive action, the character can halt an individual approach within reach of the weapon with a successful skill check. Opponents may turn away from their approach or take damage and continue into melee, though the character can choose to take a move action to retreat, maintaining the distance (assuming a similar move rate). While potentially a damage-causing action, this does not count against the speed factor of the weapon and is not treated as an attack action. Alternately, the character can assume a purely defensive posture. Announced at the start of the round and requiring four actions, the character can guard against the approach of multiple opponents within reach of the weapon, getting a defend check for each attempt to approach. Opponents may turn away from the attack or take damage from it. Those who choose to take damage break the defend action, giving the character back two actions for the remainder of the round. Characters can choose to change their forward face by spending one free action to take up to a 90º pivot. Opponents who choose to take damage to enter melee are allowed an armor check to resist damage, but it is otherwise treated as an attack of opportunity.

Description: With this spell, the Death Eater can cause blood-covered bones to grow out of the flesh of their hands, forming living cestus that can be used to make unarmed melee attacks. A hilt crafted from bone serves as the focus, with the blade rising out of it (Str+5, magic damage, SF 4, Crit 1, Small Size), and requires the caster to have a Weapon Proficiency in Gore Gloves. The gloves can take whatever form the caster desires, so long as it maintains a small size, and once the casting state ends, the gloves and the spell must be recast. The material component is a small amount of the caster’s blood, either stored in a vial or from a small wound.

Description: With this spell, the Death Eater can force a target to stop what they are doing, silently walk over, and stand before the caster with hands clasped at the back and head bowed. The target gets an initial save, if it fails the effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the Constitution score, and remain aware of their actions but are unable to communicate for the duration of the spell. Any attack made against the target breaks the spell, while they are considered prone for the attack, this prone position does not make them susceptible to a kill shot. The material component is a small marble figurine wrapped in a braid of hair (used up) that is held in the palm during casting.

Description: With this spell, the Death Eater can create a link of death energy between themselves and two targets, causing damage to one by transferring their life energy to the other, while taking at least one (1) point for themselves. When cast, the target suffers nineteen (19) points of damage – all damage saves are made against the Magic Armor total (Constitution plus relevant armor plus bonus modifiers) casters add their Basic Hits to the armor total against spells from the same magic foundation, and any damage actually sustained by the target is transferred to the ally, healing Health damage first, and then Body damage. Affected targets must be within a range of yards equal to the Influence score from the caster, with the Death Eater linking them. The material component is a pair of humanoid or animal teeth from different mouths in a small vial of blood, that is consumed upon casting.

Description: When cast, this cantrip summons a pair of shadowy mitts that can hold things for the caster. Lacking the dexterity to do much more than support a weight of up to twenty (20) pounds, the hands are extremely steady even in rough conditions and will turn with the caster, but are not mobile and lack the ability to adjust to threats, e.g., avoid being hit.

Description: This spell can be used on the caster or an ally, providing light in an area equal to the Influence score that always remains one (1) yard ahead of and above the target. Consisting of a tight grouping of spherules that flitter like insects, the light has a soft glow that belies its luminescent range. Unwilling targets get a Reaction save to resist the spell effect.

Description: When this spell is cast, the target is filled with life energy and feels temporary relief from the pangs of some discomfort. The caster may remove one source of unpleasantness based on character rank, i.e., physical discomfort such as hunger, thirst, allergies, etc. – Novice; emotional discomfort such as grief, panic, rage, etc. – Expert; response discomfort such as revenge, spite, vindication, etc. – Master. Because the source of discomfort is not permanently resolved, the underlying feelings will return, e.g., after a little while the target will get hungry or thirsty again, but their relief will typically last a few hours, though roleplay could escalate that situation. Unwilling targets are allowed a save to negate the effect. Spherules explode flow from the caster to the target, hovering around the target for the remainder of the round and the next.

Description: This spell is used to create an exact copy of the caster in the current circumstances appearing up to a distance away equal to the range, so long as it is maintained. The number of projections is based on character rank, i.e., Novice = 1, Expert = 2, Master = 4, with each capable of independent move and defend actions, and speech. When used with layering, one additional projection may be added per casting. Casters are able to transfer their physical form between the projections by spending one action in the round as a move or defend action. If a projection is struck, it explodes into spherules, requiring a recasting to be restored. When the caster takes an attack-type action, all projections mimic it, making it impossible to determine which is the true physical form. During casting, spherules briefly shroud the caster and projections as they appear.

Description: With this spell, the caster infuses the target with life energy, bolstering their physical presence and causing them to become the central focus of the encounter, immediately drawing all attention. When cast on an ally in combat, any opponent engaged in combat with them will hesitate, and those that fail the save may not use any of their next four actions to attack. In addition, all opponents in the immediate vicinity will turn their focus to the target, allowing them to be drawn away from their current target. In non-combat situations, the attention of everyone in the vicinity is immediately drawn to the target, raising or lowering their perceived reputation rank by two levels per character rank based on their actions, i.e., being positive or inspirational gains an increased rank, while those being negative or deceitful suffer a lowered rank. Unwilling targets are allowed a save to negate the effect. Spherules engulf the target, giving them a healthy, vibrant, or menacing glow for the remainder of the round and the next.

Description: This spell allows the caster to draw on the surrounding life energy and focus it on an ally to help them to successfully achieve an action. It may be used to aid in a defend or utility action (Novice), saving throw (Expert), or attack action (Master), by making a die roll for each action spent channeling at the same time as the target, with the highest result used for the action. The spell may only be cast on an individual target one time per round. Spherules rush at and surround the target for the remainder of the round and the next.

Description: With this spell, the caster can summon a ground covering of thorny foliage in a particular area. The effect of the thorns varies by character rank, those in the AoE become snarled, reducing move actions by half and requiring an action to free themselves before taking a move action (Novice), while suffering twelve (18) points of impact damage for each move action taken (Expert), and becoming immobilized after two rounds in the AoE, taking damage from every action (Master). The spell may be cast on any natural terrain, or upon dirt or wood flooring, during which spherules rush to the area and plunge into the surface, instantly growing into the foliage.
