#METAFOCUS DISCIPLINES

Knowledge and ability to consciously alter reality.

These Abilities are to cover metaphysical (Meta) powers - including Studied Arcanist, Transcendental Psychic, Devout Priest, Akashic Channeler, Latent Abilities from unusual ancestry, possible Highly Experimental and/or Advanced and/or Ancient and/or Metaphysically Imbued Super Technology or a myriad of other things (in other words magic, psychic and other).

Many Schools teaching various disciplines will be limited in teaching others of a like school (magic & magic, psychic & psychic, etc)

Studying from a different School of Thought may be possible but will be more complicated depending on severity of school’s (or source’s) difference (see Basics - Skills, Learning).

Must attain Disciplines from Awakening - then Skill points will need to be allotted in Attune and each Discipline’s 2 Metafocus Skills as desired, additional purchases of Awakening is required to attain other Disciplines (gaining access to the 2 skills from each, Attune Skill is learned with initial Awakening).

Key Ability is chosen at Awakening (Intellect, Wisdom or Charisma).

Discipline Abilities may be empowered on a ‘free-cast’ basis - involving a narrative of the effect, within the confines of the Discipline’s level (noted within Discipline descriptions).

Free-Cast checks involve an Attune check to draw/channel available energy and direct it for an effect. The Attune check determines any DCs for Effects and Attack, to be resisted or evaded as appropriate.

A Discipline Skill check follows to determine the severity of its Effects and/or Damage.

Critical Successes will have a dramatic effect on the results as usual with an improved effectiveness of some type in addition to the +30 bonus to the check.

Critical Mistakes will be likewise disastrous often leading to some type of backfire often centering on caster (GM’s call or random) in addition to the -10 to the check.

An Attune check resulting in 0 or less becomes an uncontrolled energy surge: effect over an area, wrong target, generally something not intended.

A Discipline check resulting in 0 or less causes a different effect than desired: from a dramatic fizzle to transposed energy.

Invocation levels are added to the Discipline Skill checks they are based on.

(Invocations are considered Discipline Specializations for any other effect as needed)

Invocations are as Free-Casting but with the Discipline check being now optional,

(consider to automatically Take 10 by default on Discipline checks involving a learned Evocation, check may still be made if an attempt of a better result is desired/needed)

[Key Ability + Discipline Skill Level + Invocation Level + 10 (or d20 roll) for Damage/Severity]

Attune Check is used as listed determining the Difficulty of the Resistance of an Effect or the Evasion of an Attack

Metaphysic Checks

Base Difficulty for activating a Metafocus Discipline or Invocation

Very Easy (DC 5) - Safe Quiet Area, Sanctum - Laboratory and Library setting

Easy (DC 10) - Casual, Non-Hostile Environment - Walking or Passenger in Vehicle

Average (DC15) - Very Active or Hostile Environment - Vigorous Movement or in Combat

Difficult (DC20) - Extreme Activity - Crashing or Uncontrolled Fall

Failing a Metaphysic Check

Caster takes 1 point of Non-Lethal Damage per 5 points the check failed by and is quite Painful

(this is internalized strain from Channeling and is not absorbed by Stamina or any Armor)

On a Fumble - a Check will be required for the Caster to not suffer the Effect in some way

(Check will be based on the type of Effect)

Sensing ability listed with each discipline used to sense controlled forces at work and identify the effects, source, etc.

Skill checked to learn Invocations and other similar effects related to the Skill

Meta Combat

Attune is used for the Attack Roll

Target defense is treated as similar attacks.

Counter Effect may be attempted using the same or an opposing effect to nullify

Attune is used by Attacker and Defender is Defender is higher success then may make an opposed Metafocus Skill check - if Attacker succeeds then the Effect is is normal / if the Defender wins the Effect is countered and nullified

INVOCATIONS

Invocations are purchased for 1BP each, with a base level of its Discipline Skill(s) used. Invocations only require an Attune check, unlike free casting using Attune AND Discipline checks

May be separately improved as skills, without need to improve the base skills. This will let someone focus on a particular 'spell' without having to improve their overall casting, allowing a casting a Specialty / Focus if desired.

Special Ability Feature will allow the use of an Invocation (base skill of 1) without any other Meta Knowledge, does not grant Attune or a Discipline’s access.
