Progression Track
Specialist | Expertise | Stage 1 | Passive | Self | Always active
Choose the Odd Talent at the time this perk is unlocked. When using that Odd Talent in a context directly related to your Profession's power tradition, treat dice showing 4, 5, or 6 as successes rather than 5–6 only.
Genre Note: An Arcane Mage's Specialist applies when casting from their chosen Arcane Philosophy. A Psion's Specialist applies when using their primary Syonic Discipline. A Technomancer's Specialist applies when executing a Harmonic Tradition action (Genre Catalog-defined).
Surge | Tactical | Stage 2 | Free Action | Self | Long Rest
Before making an Odd Talent roll, declare Surge. Add +2D to the dice pool for this roll. If the Wild Die rolls 6 (Explosion) on this roll, the GM determines and narrates an extraordinary beneficial outcome appropriate to the tradition, regardless of whether the overall roll succeeds.
Limit: Once per Long Rest.
Genre Note: Mana surge, psionic amplification, harmonic overload, ether spike, any dramatic temporary enhancement of the practitioner's core power output.
Mastery | Expertise | Stage 3 | Free Action | Self | Full Rest
Choose one Talent at the time this perk is unlocked, the primary Odd Talent is standard for this Profession. Once per Full Rest, after making a roll using that Talent, you may reroll any dice in the pool that showed 1, 2, or 3. Keep the new results.
Limit: Once per Full Rest.
