====== Boost/Lower Trait ======
===== Boost/Lower Trait  =====
**Rank:** Novice

**Power Points:** 3

**Range**: Smarts

**Duration:** 5 (boost); Instant (lower)

**Example Trappings:** Physical change, glowing aura, potions.

This power allows a character to increase or decrease a target’s Trait (attribute or skill). 



Boosting an ally’s Trait increases the selected Trait one die type, or two with a raise. 



Lowering an enemy’s Trait has a Duration of Instant and lowers the selected attribute or skill a die type with success, or two with a raise (to a minimum of d4). A victim automatically tries to shake off the effect with a Spirit roll as a free action at the end of his following turns. Success improves the effect one die type, and a raise removes the effect entirely. 



Additional castings don’t stack on a single Trait (take the highest), but may affect different Traits.


==== Modifiers ====

=== Additional Recipients (+1) ===

The power may affect more than one target for 1 additional Power Point each.



=== Strong (+1) ===

Lower Trait only. The Spirit roll to shake off the effect is made at −2.




==== Epic Modifiers ====

=== ✪ Greater Boost/Lower Trait (+) ===

With success, the selected Trait gains a free reroll once per round, or once per action with a raise. For lower Trait the target applies a −2 penalty to the affected Trait’s rolls.
