Gifts of Syngergy

Dyad (Constant)


Aquired at Level 2. After getting over the initial shock of becoming Godbound to each other, your Foster begins to develop it’s own independent voice in your head, which you may turn to for literal or metaphysical guidance and commentary. Generally, while you are awake they will not talk unless propted first, and when they do it will sound like a disembodied voice that only you can hear. However, when you sleep and dream they may manifest and act as a completely autonomous entity. The relationship that develops between the two of you is for you and your GM to discuss and roleplay out at the table; it may be one of sincere friendship, begrudged cooperation, confused courtship, contractual seriousness, or anything else really; but you’re stuck together now, so better get used to one another.
 

Vahana (On Turn)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift. Your Foster takes on a companion form, representative of a part of your personality—a spirit animal, so to speak. It appears in your halo while it alights and may then become material. While summoned it functions as an extension of your self: you can sense anything it senses and you may speak through it. By committing additional Effort it takes on a larger form that can be used as a mount or draft beast. It can only be harmed with spirit weapons and magic, but you share the same HP; so if it gets hurt, you will to. Anyone who sees it will surely know it’s a magical being, for it bares some mark of its divine nature (e.g. twin tails, golden fur, one-eyed, hybrid beast, strange aura, etc).
 

Projection (Action)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift. While meditating, you may let your perceptions release completely out of your physical body and into a dematerialized version of your Foster’s syntagma, creating a completely separate floating point of view within the dreamscape. In this form you can traverse almost anywhere in the world that you know of at near-instantaneous speeds, and you may even project your voice or your vahana to that place if you also have the ‘Vahana’ gift. The immaterial form is not really ‘real’ however, and so the barest amount of magical protection or enough local thinning of the weave will repel your astral projection.
 

Panoply (On Turn)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift. Your Foster takes on a more abstract physical form as your halo alights – clothes of dancing lights, unreal geometric forms, shards of prismatic eloquence, or something else – which shroud and protect you, solidififying when something strikes out. Your natural armour class is reduced to 3, without penalties to any saving throws.
 

Armiger (On Turn)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift. Your aegis takes on the form of a melee weapon of your design. It appears in your halo while it alights, wreathed in arcane rings, then solidifies in your hand. The weapon deals 1d10 damage on hit, and always uses your best attribute to make the attack rolls.
 

Façade (Instant)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift until the end of the scene. Awareness of pain recedes and ceases to impair you as much as the inner spirit absorbs it for a time; causing you halo to gleam ever-brighter! You temporarily gain 1d8 temporariy HP, which can bring you above your normal maximum; though they are lost at the end of the scene, which will knock you out without a wound if that loss would bring you to 0 HP.
 

Smite (Action)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift until the end of the scene. Unleash the demi-divine wrath of your Foster’s domain unto an enemy in sight, dealing 1d8 damage per character level. There is no save against this damage, it automatically hits.
 

Corona (Action)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift until the end of the scene. Unleash the demi-divine fury of your Foster’s domain against all enemies or selected targets within a 30-foot radius around you, dealing 1d4 damage per character levels to all targets. There is no save against this damage, it automatically hits.
 

Intercession (Instant)


Move your Synergy Effort to this Gift until the end of the scene. Your foster manifests within your halo as a momentarily indestructible force which blocks, deflects, negates, or otherwise absorbs any incoming mundane or magical attack absolutely. You may choose to activate this after you see how much an incoming attack will do.
 

Excellence (Constant)


Choose an attribute appropriate to your Foster’s domain. It is raised to 16 if it was lower score before, raised to 18 if it was already 16 or 17, and raised to 19 if it was already 18. This can stack with other gifts or passives from other words, and is always calculated last to give you best possible attribute score.
