(Click for Combat reference)

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Wits Difficulty 6.

Each round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Move (0) feet for free. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + Outcome*5 Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!! - 2 Gift Repel Power

Preston withdraws his staff, spins it above his head and shouts "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" before driving it into the ground.

Sorcerer's Apprentice - 4 Gift Animate Power
3 Rewards assigned

Preston raises his arms, wiggles his fingers, and little sparkles fly out and woosh around the object in question. It shudders to life and follows his commands, including to do things it was not designed to do.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action animating an Inanimate target no larger than Fits Inside A Large Luggage Bag (75 liters) within Arm's Reach. The target becomes Animate for the next hour. You may maintain a maximum number of animated objects equal to your Wits.

Animated objects are considered unskilled by default and should not be able to perform any action that would require a roll, including combat.

The animated object is capable of moving and perceiving the world around it within reasonable limits. If the object did not already possess some form of locomotion, it may either move across the ground at 15 feet per round, or it can hover up to 7 feet in the air at 10 feet per round.

By concentrating fully, you are able to interact with targets you can see at a distance of 75 feet. Rolls for Actions taken with these targets use Intelligence in place of Brawn and Wits in place of Dexterity. The effective rating for these Attributes is limited to 3 for Actions that would use Brawn and 3 for Actions that would use Dexterity.

You cannot engage in attacks with this Power, and you are limited to actions that a standard human could take with their bare hands, were they close to the object (no lockpicking or surgery by default). Any actions taken on an Animate target require contested rolls.

If the object passes out of sight, you lose your hold on it.

You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. If you are Injured or interrupted, you must roll Mind Difficulty 9 to maintain Concentration. If you fail, you cannot use this Power for a minimum of 6 - Wits rounds.

Mirror Mirror. . . - 1 Gift Project Senses Power

Preston withdraws a mirror, wiggles his fingers, and speaks a rhyme beginning with "mirror mirror." The surface of the mirror shimmers and shifts, showing what lies beyond. However, too much usage of the mirror can lead to narcissism and paranoia.
