[QUOTE="Ciaran, post: 419873, member: 756"] Here are some new YBA! powers I came up with while designing a high-level adventure. I'd like to hear people's opinions on whether these are appropriate to add to the game as a whole. Thanks! - Eric * * * * * [i][b]Rend[/b][/i] [i]Requirements[/i]: Mastery of at least one signature style or location [i]Cost[/i]: 5 xp [i]Effect[/i]: Once per fight per Rend known, when making a regular attack, the fighter may declare an attempt to Rend the opponent’s armor or shield. If the attack succeeds and it inflicts more than one point of damage, that armor or shield permanently loses one hit. (For example, a +3 shield would become a +2 shield.) If the affected armor or shield is only +1, it is destroyed. Rend may be purchased more than once but cannot be used more than once per round. [i][b]Sunder[/b][/i] [i]Requirements[/i]: Mastery of at least one signature style or location [i]Cost[/i]: 5 xp [i]Effect[/i]: Once per fight per Sunder known, when making a regular attack, the fighter may declare an attempt to Sunder an opponent’s weapon. If the attack succeeds and it inflicts more than one point of damage, the chosen weapon loses 1 point from a bonus of the attacker’s choice. (For example, a “+2 to Dagger” weapon would be reduced to “+1 to Dagger.”) If the affected weapon has but a single +1 bonus, it is destroyed. Sunder may be purchased more than once but cannot be used more than once per round. [i][b]Mirror Style[/b][/i] [i]Requirements[/i]: Mastery of at least one signature style or location or Flexible Style [i]Cost[/i]: 5 xp [i]Effect[/i]: Once per fight, when declaring a regular attack against an opponent, the fighter may become a Student of any signature style known by that opponent. This lasts for the duration of the fight. [i][b]Life Leech[/b][/i] [i]Requirements[/i]: Undead [i]Cost[/i]: 3 xp [i]Effect[/i]: Once per fight per Life Leech known, the undead may use the Life Leech power along with a regular attack. If the attack is successful, the undead gains 1 additional hit for the duration of the fight. Life Leech may be purchased more than once but cannot be used more than once per round. [i][b]Regeneration[/b][/i] [i]Requirements[/i]: Undead [i]Cost[/i]: 5 xp [i]Effect[/i]: An undead with Regeneration, if reduced to exactly 0 hits, immediately regains 1 hit.
