Domain Power: Karma - The caster may gain positive and negative Karma equal to rank. Each form of Karma cancels each other out, so gaining positive Karma reduces any currently held negative Karma and vice versa. Positive Karma may be spent to grant an equal number of dice to yourself or an ally's roll as a Luck bonus. Negative Karma may be spent to apply an equal number dice penalty to an enemy's roll. Karma may only be applied to a target once per encounter.

Fortune
Rank Power Description
1 You gain +1 Positive Karma.
2 Superlative Luck Caster gains 9-again for any skill roll. This is cast as part of the skill check and may include combat rolls such as Melee Weapons attacks. This effect may be combined with Maneuvers such as those granted by Fighting Styles. You gain +2 Positive Karma. 1 Mana.
3 Evasion As a Fast action the caster may add their dodge bonus to their Magic Defense for Rank rounds. This may not be activated re-actively, and must be activated on the caster's turn. You gain +3 Positive Karma. 2 Mana.
4 Freedom of Movement The caster becomes immune to effects that would apply a speed penalty or prevent movement for 10 minutes. Additionally the caster automatically succeeds on any grapple check made to resist or escape a grapple. You gain +4 Positive Karma.
5 Miraculous Escape Once per day, if incoming damage would kill you or an ally within Rank x 10 yards, the attack automatically misses the chosen target. May be activated as a reactive free action. Costs 5 Positive Karma.


Jinx
Rank Power Description
1 Bad Luck All targets (including friendly targets) within a 5 + Rank Yard radius must make a Resist roll vs. Magic or 1s and 2s are considered as critical failures if no successes are rolled while affected by this aura. If the target successfully resists they are immune to the effects of the aura for 1 hour regardless of how many times they leave or re-enter it. The aura may not be disabled once acquired, it is permanent. A use of the Tricksters Luck Domain power may be expended to grant a single target immunity to the aura for 1 hour.
2 Cursed Luck As Bad Luck, but additionally all targets (including friendly targets) failing a Magic Resist roll only succeed on rolls of 9 or 0 while inside the aura. A use of the Tricksters Luck Domain power may be expended to grant a single target immunity to the aura for 1 hour.
3 Defensive Luck When an enemy within a 10 Yards caster declares an attack the caster may re-actively use Defensive Luck as a Free Action. The attacker must make a Magic Resistance roll. If they fail, they suffer a -2 penalty to their attack, and if the attack does not result in at least 1 success counts as a Critical Failure.
4 Deadly Luck Critical failures while affected by a Bad Luck aura will always result in worst case results as if the target rolled 5 or more Natural 1s. The exact effects of the failures will remain up to the Storyteller, but should be catastrophic.
5 Calamity Single target touched (Unarmed Combat - Target Dodge) is cursed by Thysis. Their next action will automatically be a critical failure with the successes treated as 1s. This power may not be resisted.


Chance
Rank Power Description
1 Gambler The caster's luck influences their ability to gamble, causing extreme swings in fortune. The Storyteller must secretly flip a coin at the beginning of a session and note the result.
  • Heads: Caster is abnormally lucky at games of chance. Dice will fall optimally, and perfect hands of cards appear regularly. The exact nature the luck manifests is subject to the DMs discretion, and NPCs may react strongly to suspicion of cheating or magical influence.
  • Tails: Caster becomes catastrophically unlucky at games of chance. The opposite of Heads occurs with dice and cards never falling in the casters favor.

3 Lucky Shot When making a physical attack, instead of rolling, flip a coin. If the coin is Heads, the target takes Rank Lethal damage. 2 Mana.
