Party Empowerment Feats

Party Feat Unlocking Rules

Majority Vote: Since these feats benefit the whole party, at least 4 out of 6 members must agree to purchase a Party Empowerment Feat.
Narrative Unlocks: Some feats (like Runeforge Legacy) require the party to encounter a major story event before becoming available.
Additions: Additional Party Feats may be added as the story progresses.

1. We Have Each Other’s Backs (10 EP)

"No one falls while we stand together."
Effect: Once per round, when an ally within 30 feet would drop to 0 HP, another ally can spend a reaction to intervene, giving them temporary HP equal to half their max HP for 1 round instead.
Upgrade (Additional 5 EP): When used, the ally receiving the temporary HP can also immediately move 10 feet as a free action, potentially escaping danger.

2. Tactical Coordination (10 EP)

"We’ve been fighting together long enough to anticipate each other’s moves."

Effect: Once per round, when an ally makes an attack against a Flat-Footed enemy, another ally within melee range of that enemy can make an Attack of Opportunity (even if they don’t normally have that reaction).
Upgrade (Additional 5 EP): If both attacks hit, the enemy is Staggered 1 (loses 1 action on their next turn).

3. Forge-Bonded Arsenal (10 EP)

"Our weapons and magic resonate as if forged by the same hand."

Effect: Once per day, the party can empower their weapons and spells for 10 minutes. During this time:

• Melee & Ranged Attacks: Gain +5 status bonus to damage per other allied attacker within 10 feet (max +3).
• Spells: If a spellcaster targets an enemy with a spell, and that enemy was struck by a party member this round, the spell gains a +3 circumstance bonus to the save DC.
• Upgrade (Additional 5 EP): The bonus lasts for 1 hour instead of 10 minutes.

4. Fate-Forged Bonds (15 EP)

"Somehow, we always end up exactly where we need to be."

Effect: Once per session, when a crucial moment occurs (e.g., boss fight, major decision, life-or-death scenario), the party can choose one of the following benefits:

• Collective Inspiration: Every party member gains 1 Hero Point immediately.
• Timely Arrival: If a party member is missing, they appear within 30 feet at just the right moment, as if fate willed it.
• Clutch Comeback: One party member who is unconscious or dying instantly stabilizes and stands up with 1 HP, ready to act.
• Upgrade (Additional 7 EP): The party gains two of these effects per session instead of one.

5. The Runeforge Legacy (15 EP)

"The Runeforge has changed us—it flows through our very essence."

Effect: The party attunes to the ancient magic of the Runeforge, granting a collective ability based on its lingering power. Choose one of the following:

• Echoes of Sin Magic: Each party member gains access to a Runeforge spell (chosen based on their preferred school or sin magic), which can be cast once per day without expending a spell slot.
• Resonant Arcana: Once per combat, a spellcaster can use their reaction to absorb a spell they successfully Counteract, regaining a spell slot of that level instead of just negating the effect.
• Runeforged Resistance: Party members gain Resistance 5 to a damage type associated with one of the sins (e.g., fire for Wrath, acid for Sloth, etc.).
• Upgrade (Additional 7 EP): Choose an additional effect from the list above.

6. Interwoven Destinies (15 EP)

"Our fates are tied together—one step forward pulls us all ahead."

Effects:

• When one party member gains a reroll (via a Hero Point or special ability), they can instead share it with another party member.
• When a party member uses an action to Aid another, the bonus increases to +4 instead of +2.
• Once per session, a fallen ally can be revived instantly if at least three other party members are still standing. They return with half HP but retain their Wounded value.
• Upgrade (Additional 7 EP): The revive effect can be used twice per session instead of once.
