Domain Power: Threads of Fate The channeller may carry fragments of the weave of Fate, called Threads of Fate, as an additional resource to use within this Domain. A maximum of Rank Threads of Fate may be held at any one time, and Threads of Fate exist for 1 hour after being gained before fading away. Threads of Fate may be gained in two ways:

  • Spend up to Rank mana as a Standard Action to gain 1 Thread of Fate per mana spent.
  • If the channeller has no Threads of Fate currently, then gain a Thread of Fate on any Critical Success roll (5 or more successes) as a Free Action.
Seer of Fate
Rank Power Description
1 Sense Fated While concentrating, the channeller may sense the approximate direction, distance, and power of all Fated beings within Rank x 10 yards. Targets may attempt to conceal their power level which would be an opposed roll vs. their Magic Resistance.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to gain a Fate bonus to Perception rolls to spot Fated not already seen. Gain +1 bonus for each Thread consumed.
2 Fated Proximity The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action if another Fated within Rank x 10 yards rolls a higher initiative. Only 1 such Thread may be gained per encounter, regardless of how many Fated roll a higher initiative

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to change relative position in the Initiative order up or down by 1 for each Thread consumed.
3 Precognition Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to query the Storyteller to determine if unknown information not available to the channeller would make their action or another Fate's action result in Positive, Neutral, Negative, or Mixed consequences. This result is subjective, but should generally not be twisted. 1 action may be queried in this manner for each Thread consumed.
  • Consume 1 Thread of Fate to re-roll a Perception roll.
4 Predictive Reaction The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when a 2nd hostile Fated targets the channeller in the same round.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 or More Threads of Fate to gain a Fate bonus to defense for 1 round. Applies against all physical attacks and AoE spell attacks. Does not apply to pattern spell attacks. Gain a +1 bonus for each Thread consumed.
5 Destined to Live Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
  • Once per Day, if incoming damage would reduce the channeller to negative health, consume 5 Threads of Fate or 1 Story Point to negate all damage from that specific attack. This does not change the number of successes, and does not count as striking a defense. The weave of Fate has been altered so that the damage simply has no longer occurred.
Master of Fate
Rank Power Description
1 Fate's Aura The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when they or a Fated within Rank x 10 yards uses a Story Point.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 Thread of Fate to transfer the channeller's Fated aura to a non-Fated for 1 round
2 Fate's Whisper Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
  • Consume 1 Threads of Fate to prompt a target non-Fated to make a different choice. The choice must be one that the target might reasonably choose to take and must be approved by the StoryTeller. The StoryTeller may optionally choose to provide a fixed list of possible choices for you to pick from. This functions as if it is a Diplomacy roll using the spell roll instead, however this is not an actual diplomacy attempt and may not contain reasoning or debate. This may not be used against any target involved in the strain of combat.
  • Consume 2 Threads of Fate to prompt a target Fated to make a different choice. This functions with the same rules as above.
3 Fate's Decision The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when any Fated within Rank x 10 yards completes any Ritual.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 3 Threads of Fate to make the target's last decision Fateful for them. Within 1 round of a target's voluntary decision, bind that decision by Fate for 24 hours, as if under the rules of Geas. The decision must be approved by the Storyteller, and must be substantial in nature. A simple decision, such as sitting at one table vs another, or walking across a room, or carrying a loaf of bread, etc... is not considered substantial enough to be eligible.
4 Fate's Path Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
  • Consume 4 Threads of Fate to change a target's movement action to arrive at a different destination point. The channeller must succeed on a spell roll opposed by Magic Resistance. The total distance moved must remain the same, and the new movement action choice must be a choice that the target could have reasonably chosen to make instead. The target may make a Standard Action from the new location as if that was the location they originally intended on moving to, if their movement action came before their Standard Action in that round. This ability may be activated after the target's movement action and before anyone else takes an action. If the action is completed and initiative moves on, what has happened has already been woven into the weave of Fate and may not be changed. The StoryTeller must approve of the new choice, or may optionally choose to provide a fixed list of possible movement actions for the channeller to pick from.
5 Fate's Call The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when any Fated within Rank x 10 yards is restored to consciousness from negative health by targeted magical healing.

Threads of Fate may be consumed for additional effects

  • Consume 5 Threads of Fate as a Standard Action to weave a target non-Fated into the pattern as Fated. The new Fated may gain any appropriate template, powers, benefits, and skills that the Storyteller chooses, and is effectively equivalent to 0gxp.
Weaver of Fate
Rank Power Description
1 Reweave Thread Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for one of the following effects:
  • Consume 1 Thread of Fate to negate the additional ill effects of a critical failure of you or another target Fated within Rank x 10 yards, turning it into a normal failure.
  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to explode normal success die for a chance at an additional successes. Reroll 1 success as an exploded die for each Thread consumed.
2 Shielded Thread The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when any Fated within Rank x 10 yards succeeds in resisting a Slay effect.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to gain a +1 Fate bonus against Slay effects for each Thread consumed.
3 Bend Thread The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when an incoming attack specifically targeting them is entirely avoided. Area of effect attacks, untargeted attacks, accidental events, and other attacks not made specifically against the channeller are not eligible as triggering events. Attacks which succeed in hitting Armor, Wards, or other defenses are not eligible as triggering events.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to Ignore 1 Dodge Reduction in an incoming attack for each Thread consumed. This effect persists for Rank rounds.
  • Consume 3 Threads of Fate to change the channeller's last movement action to a new permitted action, no more than 1 round ago. Only physical movement actions such as walking, running, tumbling, jumping, etc... may be changed. Movements which were part of an additional action are not eligible to be changed, as well as any movement action which is now a prerequisite for an action already woven into the pattern and can not be undone. For example re-actively change a movement action to not step out from hiding upon being spotted, thus preventing the discovery, is permitted. Re-actively changing a movement action to avoid being struck a 2nd time, which would invalidate a previously successful attack on the channeller, is not permitted. The new action is subject to Storyteller approval.
4 Knotted Thread The channeller may tie his Fate to another friendly Fated for 24 hours. While linked in this fashion, the channeller may use the other Fate's actions, experiences, and events as triggers to gain Threads of Fate and may also apply the benefit of any applicable effect of consumed Threads of Fate to the other Fated. The channeller and the linked Fated are inherently aware of the relative health and status of each other, as well as the relative distance and direction. This link remains active even across planar distances, however the channeller is only able to use Threads of Fate in a Reactive manner to benefit the linked Fated if the channeller can see the linked Fated. The benefit may still be used, but only as Fast Actions rather than Reactive actions. Only 1 other Fated may be linked in this fashion.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

  • Consume 4 Threads of Fate to transfer the channeller to an available location adjacent to a linked Fated
5 Severed Thread As a Standard Action, attempt to cut the strand of Fate connected to a target. This functions as a Slay using the channeller's casting roll. The channeller must have at least 1 Thread of Fate to use this power. The roll gains a +1 Fate bonus for each Thread of Fate currently held, and then consumes 1 Thread of Fate regardless of success or failure.
