Natural Explorer

Unless noted, the benefits of Natural Explorer apply to and operate within Natural Habitats only.

Benefits

  1. Although you do not need it, you are aware of the common (non-mystical) technology within your frame of reference that assists in wayfinding and safe travel and where to get it should you wish, and can plot out the fastest path using them.
  2. You have an ingrained sense of wayfinding – you remember all roads and pathways, weather, climate, and terrain you have traveled in assessing most efficient travel paths.
  3. Efficient Travel: Your normal travel rate is not normally impeded by Difficult Terrain; You may personally guide a small number of other characters through such terrain in the same manner. The group must still travel at the rate of the slowest member of the group. Additional technology and mounts may increase this if the terrain and climate support it.

  4. You remain normally alert to dangers in the natural environment while traveling even when engaged in another activity such as Foraging, navigating, or Tracking.
  5. If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal walking (primary locomotion) movement rate unless your size, physiology, and/or habitat makes you obvious.
  6. Efficient Foraging: If you dedicate an entire Short Rest Cycle to Foraging, you can forage a small number of subsistence meals for a number of similarly sized characters.
  7. In any natural habitat, and for all natural creatures you gain Advantage when Tracking.
  8. In any habitat, you gain +1 on any communication check if you can observe the pack, tribe, herd, culture and/or society of those you are trying to communicate with, using subtle elements.
  9. When Unfettered and unimpeded, your normal locomotive movement rate is equal to your best of the movement rates of any mobility skills you are proficient in.

Anima Energy Reservoirs

Posted on September 28, 2022 in Feature

Anima Energy Reservoirs represent an anima energy used to boost, leverage, reveal and express related aptitude (Divine, Kinetic, Occult, Psychic, etc.) powers of The Pattern. Reservoirs are the foundation of Aptitude Talent. Entity’s with Essence, Anima Objects, or Empowered Items and Places may possess these reservoirs and can be tapped into consciously. Almost everything has minute traces of anima locked away and unavailable for conscious use. Reservoirs may be modified through Saturation and corruption factors. Natural [Aptitude] Talents automatically gain this Feature in their related Aptitude, without having to pay any extra cost. Phenomenological Lores grant an awareness of related Anima Reservoirs.

Anima Reservoir Forms

Anima Reservoirs have both a Well and Pool aspect.

  • Anima Well: A reservoir of aptitude/spark based energy that replenishes over time by itself.
  • Anima Pool: A reservoir of aptitude/spark based energy that does not replenish over time by itself. It can be refilled/replaced, but generally, anything in it once used, is gone forever. Any character with a Anima Well, has a related Anima Pool of the same type.

Anima Reservoir Uses

  • Power Activation – Item, Personal, Place, etc.
  • All Anima types may be used as a Simple Boosts for spells/powers related to the reservoir. By default, the amount that can be used on any given power is limited to 1, adjusted by the type of boost, and the governing aptitude measure.
  • With requisite “Material Empowerment” knowledge, it may be used to substitute for a Mystic Focus Point Item or basic Materials for Casting if such is required and not present.

Foundational for capability such as Features (Skills, Traits, etc.), Meditation & Aptitudes acquired with CP or Essence.

    Learning/Acquiring this Capability and Related Aspects    

Acquiring: 2 CP OR 1 Essence cost; Inherent by Species; An Actuated Awareness trigger.

Learning this Feature typically requires either a Primer or an Instructor (personal or Institutional) or must be unlocked through powerful Meditation. The Meditative elements that empower it are tied to the Good Standing status of Institutional members, and once a member leaves they cannot continue affixed them. It takes time and is a service often charged for. If through a Primer, it requires related Phenomenological Lore or tutelage represented as experience at Character Inception. Learning powerful and difficult Rituals and Ceremonies may Actuate and/or contribute to the energy pools for Chi, Focus, Mana, and/or Synergy. If successful, the character gains an Initial Potential:
