Special Abilities

Ability	Type	Cost
Slow Bleed	Action	2
You make a powerful and precise strike that inflicts additional damage later. On your next turn, the target of this attack takes an additional 3 points of damage (ignores Armor). The target can prevent this additional damage by making a recovery roll, using any ability that heals it, or using its action to attend to the injury. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase this ability’s duration by one round.
Successive Attack	Enabler	0
If you take down a foe, you can immediately make another attack on that same turn against a new foe within your reach. The second attack is part of the same action. You can use this ability with melee attacks and ranged attacks.
Danger Sense	Enabler	1
Your initiative task is eased. You pay the cost each time the ability is used.
Experienced in Armor	Enabler	0
The cost reduction from your Practiced in Armor ability improves. You now reduce the Speed cost by 2.
Parting Shot	Enabler	0
If a creature you attacked on your last turn with a melee attack uses its action to move out of immediate range, you gain an action to attack the creature as a parting blow, even if you have already taken a turn in the round
Unmovable	Enabler	3
You avoid being knocked down, pushed back, or moved against your will as long as you are upright and able to take actions. Enabler.
Like a Rock	Enabler	0
You gain 6 points to your Might Pool.
Resist the Elements	Enabler	0
You resist heat, cold, and similar extremes. You gain +2 to Armor against ambient damage or other damage that would normally ignore Armor. Enabler.
Living Wall	Enabler	3
You specify a confined area—such as an open doorway, a hallway, or a space between two trees—where you stand. For the next ten minutes, if anyone attempts to enter or pass through that area and you don’t wish it, you make an automatic attack against them. If you hit, not only do you inflict damage, but they must also stop their movement. Enabler
Crushing Blow	Action	2
When you use a bashing or bladed weapon in both hands and apply Effort on the attack, you get a free level of Effort on the damage. (If fighting unarmed, this attack is made with both fists or both feet together.) Action.
Amazing Effort	Enabler	0
When you apply at least one level of Effort to a noncombat task, you get a free level of Effort on that task. When you choose this ability, decide if it applies to Might Effort.
Quick Kill	Action	2
You know how to kill with speed. When you hit with a melee or ranged attack, you deal 4 additional points of damage. You can’t make this attack in two consecutive rounds.
