Kalanyr and I were working on some new proposed feats called Auras. An Aura often, but not necessarily, benefits the fighter with the ability and any allies. Some auras affect only the opposition and the fighter with the aura (Salvation), while others affect an entire grou (Prayer). Some auras are available to both unholy batteries and holy batteries. A fighter with an aura can only have one active at a time, meaning that some fighters with auras that they would like to use together (Meditation + Anything) is not a viable option. Oh, and one major point about auras, they can't be negated by a Trick.
Hope you like them, and I'm ready to find out what the problems in these are...
