🕸️Metapowered🕸️

This Chapter includes all the information about the Metapowers and Combos.

1)      PRIME METAPOWER: Your first Metapower is your Prime Metapower. In case one Metapower other than your first is at higher level than your first Metapower, then said Metapower becomes your Prime Metapower. Your Prime Metapower Classification and Energy have now implementations on how much additional Experience it cost to increase other Metapowers with opposing Classification and different Energies. (New entire Post incoming concerning the PRIME METAPOWER)

2)      5 NEW METAPOWERS: (The number of Metapowers on the handbook has to be 100, any other made by players is 100+).

1.       Meta Ingenuity [Creativity steady increase and access to privileges Crafting mechanics

2.       Meta Evocation [ IT IS NOT WHA YOU THINK. Evocation as if memory, feeling recollection/ memory. Conscience steady increase and similar to “Meta Intelligence 2 Genius” benefits of learning something new during downtimes

3.       Lunar Powers ( out and back again, look I will be honest, I don’t like this one, but since we have Planetary Powers and Solar Powers (which will include Combo ECLIPSE) [ Body based power that gives O.P benefits based on the phase of the moon]

4.       Hypnokinesis [ induce sleep and Mind Buffs/Debuffs. Much like Pheromones increase/decrease Stats of the Soul ((and Biokinesis does the same with Stats of the Body), Hypnokinesis will do the same with Stats of the Mind

5.       Detect Matter [ The way I see it, there is no clear and defined “Tracker” that can find items. It has to be one and if you include organic matter (people) we might have the best tracker of the game.

3)      COMBOS WILL UNLOCK. Combos can be activated by one or multiple players. In case of multiple, all must be within the Required limits (like range, visibility etc) and all must succeed on their appropriate rolls. In case of activation by one, the player needs to have all required Metapowers at lvl required and Pay an amount of Experience to unlock them , and finally succeed on all the rolls required on your own.

4)      Metapowers template: Activation, Roll (D100/d10), Range, Targets, Area [hex], Duration, Passives, Actives, Levels of Successess, Levels of Failures, Extra requirements [like Destiny], Effects and descriptions.

 

🕸️Narration🕸️

This chapter is reserved to the Narrators. No major updates so far expect the addition of Destiny to the NPCs.

 

🕸️Appendix🕸️

In this last chapter includes tables and sheets for all players to use. Besides having categorized Lexicon and all (most) tables – this chapter will also include some general Hexagon effects, rules and Antagonist sheets.

1)      Hexagon Area Effects and Sizes. ( We don’t need to have the Hexagon visualizations on the Metapower description. Besides taking a lot of space, they are not all that different from one another. Thus, we categorize them in “line effect, area effect, nova effect, retracting effects) etc. and include them all here. So the Pyrokinesis 1, for example, will say XD10 damage with “Area 2, Retracting etc.)

2)      Teleportation, Portal and other effects detailed tables of not only bonus/penalty according to familiarity, but also a new table concerning levels of success/failure – how much close or far you went from desired location.

3)      Antagonist Sheets (not only “SWAT team NPC character sheet” explained for the Narrator but also “Animated Trees, zombies etc.” created by Metapowers and used by the players will have short Character Sheets with all appropriate information.
