New Abilities

Abilities are the most numerous things in the system. They run the gauntlet from ways to attack your enemies to ways to help your ally. They may be as simple as a low bonus to a roll or as complicated as summoning a legion to fight on your behest. Our imaginations are the only limit really.

Abilities often get reworded several times before they get decided upon, especially if the original poster did not use mechanical language or standard format. Please bear with that.

When posting new abilities, please post them in the following code after removing all the *:
