SR5:Adept Powers

Spell List	Ritual List	Spirit List	Adept Powers List	Mentor Spirits List	Metamagics List	Traditions List

Some powers are activated, and some are intrinsic. Adept powers that need to be activated before they have any effect have an activation cost listed in the power’s description (usually an action of some sort). When a power doesn’t list an activation cost, their effect is intrinsic—you don’t have to take any action to gain the benefit of the power.

Adept Drain

Some powers cause Drain. The Drain from adept powers is Stun unless specified in the description, and is resisted with Body + Willpower.

Adrenaline Boost

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 pp per level Activation Free Action Duration 1 Combat Turn Source Core

Initiative Score +2 Per Level After Duration Drain Per Level

This power lets you accomplish more in one Combat Turn. You get +2 to your Initiative Score for the current Combat Turn for every level of this power you have. At the beginning of the next turn after the Adrenaline Boost, you take Drain equal to the number of levels you have in this power.

Analytics

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Per Level Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Adepts with this power can easily analyze, detect, recognize, and solve ciphers, patterns, or puzzles. This allows them to recognize clues or evidence during an investigation. For ever y level purchased, Analytics grants a +1 modifier to any test that involves pattern recognition, evidence analysis, obser vation, puzzle solving, or logic-based problems. It does not add dice to Technological Skill tests except for identification purposes. For example, Analytics doesn’t help with repair ing a firearm, but it will help the adept recognize a knock-off.)

Analytics is not an immediate or instant solution to every problem. Rather, it’s meant to help the adept detect clues and glean information that could be overlooked (gamemaster’s discretion).

Animal Empathy

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

This power gives the adept a greater affinity for all non-sentient animals, both normal and paranormal. For every level purchased, the adept gains +1 die to all Animal Handling tests. This power can also be used to intimidate or frighten animals.

Astral Perception

Prerequisite NONE Cost 1 PP Activation Simple Action Duration Constant Source Core

This power allows you to bridge the gap between the physical and astral realms and see into the astral plane. Since you’re dual-natured while you’re using astral perception, you can attack astral forms when you use this power. Follow all the normal rules for astral perception (p. 312).

Attribute Boost (Attribute)

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation Simple Action Duration 2xBoost Hits Source Core

Boost Attribute Magic + Level Test Limitation Only affects Dice Pools (Not Limits or Initiatives) After Duration Drain Per Level

You call upon inner strength to perform amazing physical feats beyond their normal abilities. Attribute Boost must be purchased for a specific Physical Attribute (Agility, Body, Reaction, or Strength); separate Attribute Boost powers may be bought for different attributes. This power cannot be purchased for a Mental or Special Attribute.

When you activate this power, make a Magic + Attribute Boost Rating Test. Each hit on this test boosts your attribute rating by 1, up to your augmented Attribute maximum. This only affects your dice pools; your Physical limit and Initiative ratings don’t change with Attribute Boost. The boost lasts for a number of Combat Turns equal to twice the number of hits you get. When the boost runs out, you take Drain equal to the level of this power.

Berserk

Prerequisite NONE Cost 1 PP Activation Simple Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

The adept can voluntarily enter a frenzied mental state to increase his physical abilities. While in this state, the adept gains a +1 to all Physical attributes but suffers a temporary loss of –1 to all Mental attributes (minimum of 1; this power cannot be used by adepts with any Mental attributes starting at 1). Note: this also affects the adept’s Physical and Mental limits. Once activated, the adept remains in this state for (Magic x 2) Combat Turns or until any enemy targets are down. Adepts can attempt to leave this state early with a Willpower + Charisma (Magic x 0.5) Test. When the power wears off, adepts must resist Drain equal to (Magic x 0.5, rounded up).

Berserker's Rage

Prerequisite Berserk Cost 1 PP Activation Complex Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

The adept passes melee berserking and delves deeper into a frenzied mental state. All bonuses and penalties from the Berserker power are increased to +2, and the duration is increased to (Magic x 4) minutes. To exit this state early requires a Willpower + Charisma Test. The threshold is 9 – the adept’s Magic Rating, with a minimum threshold of 3. If successful, the adept can use her full Mental attributes to resist Drain. Regardless of when she exits this state, the adept will have to resist a Drain Value of (Magic x 0.5). Any Wound Modifiers apply. A glitch on an exit attempt increases the duration to (Magic x 3) minutes.

Blind Fighting

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Drawing on a special kind of sixth sense, an adept with this power is able to continue fighting even when he is blinded or deprived of vision. It reduces the penalty for Blind Fighting by 1. This power can be combined with the Strike the Darkness martial arts technique for a cumulative reduction of 2 (p. 141, Run & Gun).

Cloak

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Using the Cloak power, the adept has an increased chance of avoiding magical detection. For every level of this power, the adept gains a +1 die for opposing a Detection spell being used against her (see p. 285, SR5). Cloak does not prevent a magician or mystic adept from reading the adept’s aura through astral perception or viewing her from astral space; it just makes it more difficult to zero in on the targeted adept.

Cool Resolve

Prerequisite NONE Cost 1.0 PP Per Level Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Adepts with this power are extremely confident and self-assured in social interactions. This includes situations such as negotiations with a Mr. Johnson, running a con on the street, staying in-character while undercover, or resisting the tender inquiries of a professional interrogator. Each level gives the adept +1 die in all Opposed Tests involving Social skills, regardless of whether they initiated the action or are resisting someone else’s social skills.

Combat Sense

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Defense +1 DP Per Level against Ranged and Melee Attacks Surprise Attacks Perception Test before being attacked

Combat Sense provides an instinctive sense of any potential threats nearby. In defending against ranged and melee attacks, you get a +1 dice pool bonus to defense tests per level of this power. Adepts with this power are always allowed a Perception Test before a possible surprise situation, gaining the benefit of being alerted if the test is successful.

Commanding Voice

Template:SR5:Adept Name=Powers Adepts with this power have a knack for convincing people to believe them or do things for them in certain situations. For every level of this power, an adept gains a +1 die to any Opposed Intimidation or Leadership tests that they initiate (normal limits apply). If the adept succeeds, then the target(s) will agree to or follow the adept’s next suggestion or command, within reason and depending on the situation. A subject won’t normally harm himself for example, but he may be persuaded that the pretty-boy elf over there was making moves on his girl/guy and that punching said elf is a good idea. Or an adept may convince a corporate secretary to give up some dirt on her boss.

To keep this power in check, gamemasters can also grant targets a situational bonus based on how inclined the subject would be to believe the adept. An adept can attempt to use this ability on up to (Charisma) people at a time, with a –1 dice pool for any additional subjects.

Counterstrike

Prerequisite NONE Cost 1.0 PP Per Level Activation Interrupt Action (–5 From Initiative Score) Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Counterstrike is an extremely potent ability that allows an adept in unarmed combat to redirect an attacker’s energy through a combination of skill, intuition, and magical ability. To employ this power, an adept must first use a successful Block action against an incoming attack and spend her next available action to make a melee combat attack. For the adept’s next melee combat attack test, add a number of dice equal to her levels in Counterstrike and the net hits from the Block. Engaging in any other action before attacking, even Dodge or Full Defense, negates the bonuses gained from this power. This power cannot be combined with the Counterstrike and Opposing Force martial arts techniques (p. 124 and 139, Run & Gun).

Critical Strike (Skill)

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Melee Skill +1 DV when using that skill

This power improves a specific melee skill: either Unarmed Combat, Clubs, Blades, Astral Combat, or a particular Exotic Melee weapon skill. The specific skill is chosen when you buy the power. Increase the DV of your attacks with the selected skill by 1. Critical Strike is compatible with weapons and other adept powers. The power may be selected multiple times, each time for a different melee skill.

Danger Sense

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Surprise Attacks +1 DP per Level on Surprise Tests

You are instinctively sensitive of your surroundings and of impending threats that may not be immediately visible. It’s the bad feeling that the character gets before walking into a trap, the gut instinct that makes them jump an instant before trouble hits. For each level of this power, you get +1 die on Surprise Tests.

Elemental Body

Prerequisite Elemental Strike Cost 1 PP Activation Complex Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

An evolved version of Elemental Strike and similar to the critter power Elemental Attack, Elemental Body creates an elemental field that envelops the adept. This field forms approximately three to five centimeters from the adept’s body and can be used offensively and defensively.

To activate this power, the adept must spend a Complex Action channeling the desired element. For offensive purposes, treat Elemental Body like the Elemental Strike power, with a DV of (Magic x 2)P and AP –(Magic x 0.5). For defense, anyone or thing coming into contact (melee or unarmed strike) with the adept while Elemental Body is active must resist the same DV and elemental effect as the offensive strike; fast-moving projectiles such as bullets or thrown weapons are unaffected. Items already on the adept’s body or held by the adept are not damaged, but they do not gain any elemental effect.

Elemental Body lasts for (Magic) Initiative Passes or until the adept is rendered unconscious. This power can be deactivated at will using a Free Action before the time limit expires. Once deactivated, the adept must resist a Drain Value of (Magic x 0.5) + the number of Initiative Passes the power was active. Only one effect can be used at a time, and each elemental effect must be purchased as a separate power.

Elemental Strike

Prerequisite Killing Hands Cost 0.5 PP Activation Simple Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Elemental Strike enhances the damage caused by an unarmed Killing Hands strike by channeling an elemental effect into the attack. Activating this power requires a Simple Action and the effect remains active for (Magic) Combat Turns or until the adept deactivates it with. Free Action or is rendered unconscious. While active, the chosen elemental effect wreathes the hand, foot, or other body part the adept uses to strike. Only one effect can be used at a time and can’t be combined with any other adept striking power except Killing Hands. Each elemental effect must be purchased as a separate power.

Elemental Weapon

Prerequisite Weapon Foci Cost 0.5 PP Activation Simple Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Similar to Elemental or Toxic Str ike, Elemental Weapon allows an adept to channel an elemental ef fect (normal or toxic) through her weapon focus instead of her hands. A Simple Action is required to first channel the desired elemental ef fect. Elemental Weapon remains active for (Magic) Combat Turns or until the adept deactivates it with a Free Action or is rendered unconscious. Only one elemental ef fect can be used at a time, and each elemental ef fect must be purchased as a separate power. This power can also be used with other powers that enhance an adept ’s Accuracy or skills related to foci.

Empathic Healing

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation See Text Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Used only in the direst of circumstances, the Empathic Healing power allows an adept to literally take on the wounds of another in order to heal them. To accomplish this, the adept rolls a Magic + Willpower Test. For every hit, one box of Physical damage transfers from the wounded target to the adept’s damage track. Only Physical damage can be healed in this way.

Subjects with lower than normal Essence, due to augmentations or Essence loss, are more difficult to heal. Apply a negative modifier equal to the subject’s lost Essence (6 – current Essence Rating, round down) to the dice pool for the adept’s healing test. The test itself requires two full Combat Turns per box of damage to complete, and the healing adept must maintain physical contact during the entire process. Damage modifiers are applied once the adept completes the process.

Enhanced Perception

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Perception Tests +1 DP Per Level Assensing Tests +1 DP Per Level

This power sharpens all your senses. Add +1 die per level to all Perception Tests and Assensing Tests.

Enhanced Accuracy (Skill)

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Weapon Skill +1 Accuracy when using Skill

A weapon in your hands becomes an extension of your body. When you buy this power, choose a Combat Skill (Pistols, Clubs, Heavy Weapons, etc.). When you use the skill, add 1 to the Accuracy of the weapon you’re using. This power cannot be used with Unarmed Combat, but it can be purchased multiple times with a different skill each time.

Facial Sculpt

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level Activation Complex Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

This power allows an adept to change his appearance by shifting the muscles, bone structure, and cartilage in his face. Each level purchased gives the adept a +1 dice pool modifier for Disguise Tests. The effect can be sustained for (Magic) hours.

Common changes include altering ear shape, changing nose shape, raising/lowering cheekbones, growing tusks, reshaping the forehead, lengthening/shortening facial hair, and so on. Adepts can even change their face to another metatype of they wish, but they can’t change their body shape. The time required to change one feature is approximately one minute. Multiple features can be changed simultaneously with a Body + Magic Test, with each hit resulting in one additional change. The adept needs another full minute to undo the changes and return their features to normal.

Flexibility

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level (MAX 3) Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Adepts with the Flexibility power can bend or twist their bodies past the metahuman norm, which allows them to squeeze through openings smaller than the adept (gamemaster’s discretion) and escape restraints easier. It also makes and adept harder to subdue during unarmed combat. For every level of Flexibility the adept possesses, the threshold for moving through cramped corners or getting out of restraints is lowered by one. During unarmed combat, if someone is attempting to subdue the adept, the adept gains +1 die per level of Flexibility to prevent being subdued; normal limits still apply.

Freefall

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

This power helps adepts absorb the damage from a fall or jump down for a specific distance. This ability does not help the adept increase the distance he is jumping, such as with the Light Body power. Every level of Freefall allows the adept to fall or jump down 3 additional meters without any adverse effects (beyond the three meters normally allowed). When calculating fall damage past his personal distance threshold, subtract the overall level bonus from the Damage Value of the fall and then apply damage normally (see p. 172, SR5). This means that an adept with Freefall receives no damage from a fall of six meters or less, rather than the typical three meters. Beyond that, if an adept with two levels of Freefall falls 15 meters, the power negates 6 points of damage from the fall, changing the Damage Value of the fall from 15P to 9P (the fall’s AP remains unchanged). As long as the adept experiences no damage from the fall (either because the fall was short enough to cause no damage or because they successfully resisted all applicable damage using Body + Armor, the fall counts as a normal move action, and can be combined with an attack. Any other means of dealing with the damage does not allow this opportunity. Longer falls count as a Complex Action.

Hang Time

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Per Level Activation See Description Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Adepts with this power receive two benefits. First, for each level of this power, the adept gains a +1 dice pool bonus for all Climbing Tests. Second, the adept can temporarily adhere to surfaces, such as walls. For each level of this power, the adept can attach himself to a surface and hang out for approximately five minutes, provided he remains motionless and keeps physical contact with the surface in question with hands, feet, knees, or elbows. The adept must spend a Simple Action to bond his magical energy with the surface; normal clothing such as gloves or boots does not interfere with this power, but the use of heavy armor (armor with a Rating of 13 or higher) will. Moving the attached body parts on the surface they’re adhering to, such as a moving vehicle, breaks the bond, making the adept fall off.

Improved Ability (Skill)

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Skill Rating +1 Per Level Max Improvement 1.5 x Current Skill Level (Round Up)

This power increases the Rating of a specific Combat, Physical, Social, Technical, or Vehicle skill per level of the power. You need to know the skill in order to buy this power for it, and you can’t buy it for skill groups. The maximum improvement possible is your current skill level x 1.5 (rounded up).

Improved Physical Attribute

Prerequisite NONE Cost 1 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

This power allows you to increase a physical attribute (Body, Agility, Reaction, and Strength). This augments your attribute, so your Physical limit may also increase with the new Attribute rating. This power allows you to exceed your natural Attribute maximum, up to your augmented maximum.

Improved Potential (Limit)

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

This power allows an adept to raise one of your inherent limits (Physical, Mental, or Social), specified when you buy the power, by 1. You may buy this power multiple times, once per inherent limit.

Improved Reflexes

IMPROVED REFLEXES TABLE

PP COST	LEVEL
1.5	Level 1
2.5	Level 2
3.5	Level 3

Prerequisite NONE Cost Variable, see table Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Reaction Increase +1 Per Level Initiative +1D6 Per Level (Max 5D6)

This power increases the speed at which you react, just like wired reflexes. For each level, you receive +1 to Reaction (this also affects Initiative) and +1D6 Initiative Die (to a maximum of 5D6). The maximum rating of Improved Reflexes is 3, and the increase cannot be combined with other technological or magical increases to Initiative.

Improved Sense

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP each Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Direction Sense +2 Navigational Skill Perception+Intuition(2) Test Improved Tactile +2 Dice to Tactile Perception Tests

Perfect Pitch Perception+Intuition(2) Test Human Scale Perception+Intuition(2) Test

This power gives you sensory improvements not normally possessed by your character ’s metatype. These improvements may include low-light or thermographic vision, high or low frequency hearing, and so on. Any sense enhancement provided by cyberware or bioware can be provided by this power, unless that enhancement either gives you bonus dice to Perception Tests or needs wireless to work (or both).

In addition to the sensory enhancements listed for cyberware and bioware, other improvements that can be selected include:

Direction Sense

Add +2 dice to Navigational skill tests when traveling. In addition, with a Perception + Intuition (2) Test, you can identify the direction you’re facing and if you’re above or below the mean sea level.

Improved Tactile

The adept’s fingers are sensitive to imperfections on the surface of an object, allowing you to notice something as subtle the indentation of writing on a piece of paper (even paper on a pad beneath the sheet that was actually written on). Add +2 dice to tactile Perception Tests.

Perfect Pitch

With a Perception + Intuition (2) Test, you can recognize a musical tone either from hearing it or even feeling the vibration frequency. This doesn’t mean that you’re a good singer, just that you can recognize when you’re off key.

Human Scale

With a Perception + Intuition (2) Test, the adept can figure out the weight of an object down to the gram if he is able to lift or carry the object. Can be useful for carnival barkers and arcano-archaeologists trying to figure out how much that statue they’re trying to snatch off a pressure plate weighs.

Inertia Strike

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation Free Action Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

This power allows an adept to generate and channel extra energy into an unarmed or melee strike specifically intended to knock a target down. To use this power, the adept must first declare her intention by spending a Free Action before the actual strike to channel the necessary energy. If the adept is successful with the attack, she adds (Magic x 0.5) to her Strength to determine if a knockdown occurs (p. 194, SR5). Inertia Strike does not deal damage. Using this power is considered a Called Shot (see p. 195, SR5). Note: This power cannot be combined with the Imposing Stone Martial Arts Technique (p. 138, Run & Gun).

Killing Hands

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation Free Action Duration Constant Source Core

Unarmed Attacks Choose between Stun or Physical Damage

This power lets you inflict lethal damage with your unarmed attacks. When inflicting damage on the target of an unarmed attack, you may choose whether to cause Stun or Physical damage. Killing Hands may be combined with other adept powers that increase unarmed damage. Your Killing Hands attacks are magical, so they can bypass a creature’s magical defenses against attack, such as the Immunity to Normal Weapons power, and may be used by adepts with Astral Perception during astral combat.

Kinesics

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Social Tests +1 DP to Resist Judge Intentions +1 DP to Resist

Assensing +1 DP to Resist Truthfulness Test +1 DP to Resist

Kinesics grants you complete control over your body’s nonverbal and subconscious communication and social cues, even when you’re in stressful social situations. It includes facial expressions, body movements, eye movements, fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure, and even control over sweat glands, making it difficult to gauge your emotional state and truthfulness. Add +1 to resist Social Tests and tests to read your emotions like Judge Intentions, assensing, or truthfulness tests.

Kinesics Mastery

Prerequisite Kinesics Cost 0.5 PP Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

An advanced version of Kinesics (p. 310, SR5), this power allows two adepts with this ability to communicate with each other while using solely non-verbal cues, such as body language and minute facial expressions, and natural subconscious cues. While general messages and mental states are easily relayed, those with Kinesics Mastery can relay specific, detailed information such as locations, names, places, or numbers. Communication in this way requires adepts to have direct line of sight and be close enough to read each other’s facial features and body language, whether through natural, augmented, or magical means.

Light Body

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Jump Distance +1 DP Per Level to Agility when Jumping Gymanstics Test +1 DP Per Level when Jumping Falling Damage Reduce Distance by 1 Meter Per Level

Light Body is used to make incredible jumps over long distances. Add the power’s level to your Agility before calculating maximum distance you can jump. Also, add 1 die per level to your Gymnastics Test when you make your jump. If you should happen to fall, reduce the effective distance of a fall by the level in meters when calculating your falling damage.

Linguistics

LINGUISTICS TABLE

LANGUAGE	THRESHOLD

Uncommon (Latin, Or’zet, Sperethiel)	2
Obscure (Aramaic, Lapp, Berber)	3

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP Activation - Duration Constant Source SR5:SG

Through enhanced memory and mimicry, adepts with this power are able to learn new languages after a minimal amount of exposure to it, without spending Karma. To learn a new language, an adept must be exposed to the new language for (12 – Magic Rating) hours, (minimum 1 hour). The adept then makes a Logic + Intuition Test using the Linguistics Table. If successful, the adept gains the language at Rating 1. Further development of the new language requires normal Karma expenditure.

Missile Parry

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation Interrupt Action (–5 from Initiative Score) Duration Constant Source Core

Ranged Attacks +1 DP to Defense Limitation Requires 1 Free Hand

You can catch slow-moving projectiles such as arrows, thrown knives, grenades, or shuriken out of the air. When using this power, add +1 die per level to your defense pool against the attacker’s ranged attack test. If you generate net hits, you pluck the missile out of the air. You need to have at least one empty hand to use Missile Party.

Mystic Armor

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Armor +1 Per Level Astral Combat +1 Armor Per Level

This power protects you from physical attacks. For every level, this power gives you 1 point of Armor (cumulative with other armor, but not adding to encumbrance) that also protects against damage you take in astral combat.

Natural Immunity

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.25 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Toxins and Disease +1 DP to Resistance Tests

Add +1 die per level to your tests to resist toxins and disease.

Pain Resistance

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Condition Monitor Shift Wound Modifiers down one box Per Level Withstand Suffering +2 DP Per Level to resist pain from torture, magic, illness, etc.

Pain resistance allows you to ignore the effects of injury (but not the actual damage). For every level of pain resistance, the wound modifiers on the Condition Monitor move one box farther down the chart, so that with 1 level of this power, you take the –1 penalty after 4 boxes of damage instead of 3. If you have 2 levels of the power, the penalty doesn’t kick in until you have 5 boxes of damage. Pain Resistance works equally on the Physical and Stun Condition Monitors. Pain Resistance also allows you to resist pain from torture, magic, illness, etc. Each level adds +2 dice to any test you make to withstand suffering.

Rapid Healing

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Healing Tests +1 DP Per Level to Body +1 DP Per Level to magical and mundane healing tests

You recover from damage more quickly, magically healing yourself over periods of time. Add +1 die per level to your Body for Healing Tests. Also add +1 die per level to any tests made to heal you through magical or mundane means (such as a Heal spell or the First Aid skill), whether the attempt is made by you or another character.

Spell Resistance

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Resistance +1 DP Per Level against Spells, Spell Rituals, Preparations, and Spell Powers

You are inherently resistant to spells. Add +1 die per level to Resistance Tests against spells, spell rituals, alchemical preparations, or Innate Spell critter power (but not other critter powers). Spell Resistance does not interfere with spells that you choose not to resist.

Traceless Walk

Enemy Perception Tests -4 DP to hear Enemy Tracking Tests -2 DP to track

Deep Snow Walk across without sinking Sensors Do not activate vibration or pressure sensors

You can move over surfaces—even snow, sand, or thin paper—without leaving visible traces. You make no noise through contact with the floor (though movement may still cause other sounds), and any hearing-based Perception Tests to detect you suffer a –4 dice pool penalty. You don’t trip ground-vibration or pressure sensors. You can’t walk across liquid surfaces—you’re magical, not miraculous—but you can walk across deep snow without sinking. While you can be tracked by non-visual cues such as scent, even those Track Tests are more difficult and get a –2 dice pool penalty.

Voice Control

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP per level Activation - Duration Constant Source Core

Fool Voice Recognition Impersonation+Charisma+Level[Mental] vs 2xRating Impersonation+Charisma+Level[Mental] vs Perception+Intuition Social Limit +1 Per Level

You get an amazing level of control over the properties of your voice. You can change your voice’s pitch, modulation and tone at will, as well as increase your volume. You can mask your voice and imitate sounds within the normal range of metahuman vocalization (no infrasound or ultrasound) and mimic the voices of others. If you use this trick to fool a person or a voice recognition system, make an Opposed Test using your Impersonation + Charisma [Mental] against the voice recognition system’s Rating x 2, or against the Perception + Intuition of characters the adept is attempting to fool, adding the level of this power as a bonus to your dice pool.

You can also adjust your voice to generate positive social effects, giving you +1 per level to your Social limit.

Wall Running

Prerequisite NONE Cost 0.5 PP Activation Simple Action Duration Single Action Phase Source Core

Run up Walls Running+Strength[Magic] Hits indicate meters Can combine with Sprint Action

You can run up sheer walls or other vertical surfaces a limited distance. Make a Running + Strength [Magic] Test, with hits indicating the number of meters you may climb up in an action phase. If you want to run up longer distances, you’ll need steps, ledges, or somewhere you can stop and then use this power again. If you want to run across a vertical surface instead of up it, you can do so by combining this power with a Sprint action (p. 162). At the end of your movement, you fall off the wall, whether you made it as far as you wanted or not.
