iCore Iron Will Feature Mechanics

COST/REQ: -5 CP

The character has a reserve (developed as a High Cost learned ability) of will they can tap to increase abilities in some life and death situations. If fatigue damage would have caused unconsciousness, a single check staves that off for an encounter or Iron Will level x hours if not in an encounter (or until another wound). Abilities or resistance ratings can be increased for a single check to a maximum of the Iron Will level, at a cost of 5 point of Chi per level increased. Spending chi and making an Iron Will check can negate the effects of exhaustion from encumbrance (not illness) for an encounter; 10 points per measure. Spending 20 chi and making an Iron Will check can negate the effects of Incapacitation for an encounter.

Good Luck

Posted on May 6, 2021 in iCore Trait

Type: Transcendent

Good Luck represents a character’s positive accordance with The Pattern. With Good Luck, the character generates a series of happenstances leading to a better outcomes. It takes no time or specific activity to trigger. This aspect is visible with Aura Sight.

Fortune’s Favorite: In addition to the normal benefits of the personal luck, the character can positively influence random checks being made for them by the GM. This does not include any other character’s biased, direct actions. For example, the character could force the GM to re-check a result wherein a random weather check provided cover for the enemy they are tracking, or if a random check indicated a grenade bounced in their direction. They could not influence an opponent’s attack.

Luck in basic d20 is to essentially be granted an improved, unearned inspiration three times a day, and goes against everything the game designers planned for inspiration itself.

Good Luck is changed to each instance providing a bonus of +4 to every attack and saving throw or any ability check for a single round from the point it is invoked until the end. Alternately, it can be used to gain an a automatic Simple Outcome on a single check if announced before its made, OR Advantage after a check (a new check, take the best of the two). It does not effect opponents actions. Use of personal Good Luck is once per Short Rest. The character can use the indirect Fortune’s Favor once per Long Rest.

Losing the Feature: The character adjusts their Essence as long as they possess this trait; returning towards their normal base 1 per Long Rest after they rid themselves of it.
