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.
The power may affect more than one target for 1 additional Power Point each.
Lower Trait only. The Spirit roll to shake off the effect is made at −2.
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.
