Special Abilities
Adroit Cypher Use
You can bear four cyphers at a time. Enabler. Granted from Entertainer

Everything Is A Weapon
You can take any small object-a coin, a pen, a bottle, a stone, and so on-and throw it with such force and precision that it inflicts damage as a light weapon. Enabler. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy

Precision
You deal 2 additional points of damage with attacks using weapons that you throw. Enabler. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy

Quick Wits
When performing a task that would normally require spending points from your Intellect Pool, you can spend points from your Speed Pool instead. Enabler. Granted from Entertainer

► Skills	Pool	Cost	T	S	I
Accelerate	I	4+
Your words imbue the spirit of a character within immediate range who is able to understand you, accelerating them so they gain an asset on initiative tasks and Speed defense rolls for ten minutes. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to affect more targets; each level of Effort affects one additional target. You must speak to additional targets to accelerate them, one target per round. Action per target to initiate. Granted from Entertainer
Demeanor Of Command	I	2
You project confidence, knowledge, and charisma to all who see you for the next hour. Your demeanor is such that those who see you automatically understand that you are someone important, accomplished, and with authority. When you speak, strangers who are not already attacking give you at least a round to have your say. If speaking to a group that can understand you, you can attempt to have them produce their leader or ask that they take you to their leader. You gain a free level of Effort that can be applied to one persuasion task you attempt during this period. Action to initiate. Granted from Entertainer
Perfect Stranger	I	3
You alter your posture and way of speaking and make a small but real alteration to an outfit (such as putting on or taking off a hat, reversing a cloak, and so on). For the next hour (or as long as you keep up the alteration), even creatures that know you well don't recognize you. All tasks related to hiding your true identity during this period gain one free level of Effort. Action to initiate. Granted from Entertainer
Regeneration	I	6
You restore points to a target's Might or Speed Pool in one of two ways: either the chosen Pool regains up to 6 points, or it is restored to a total value of 12. You make this decision when you initiate this ability. Points are regenerated at a rate of 1 point each round. You must remain within immediate range of the target the whole time, either touching them or conversing with them. In no case can this raise a Pool higher than its maximum. Action. Granted from Entertainer
Speedy Recovery	I	3
Your words enhance the normal regenerative ability of a character within short range who is able to understand you. When they make a recovery roll, they must spend only half the normal amount of time required to do so (minimum one action). Action. Granted from Entertainer
Spur Effort	I	5
You select an ally within immediate range. If that character applies Effort to a task on their next turn, they can apply a free level of Effort on that task. Enabler. Granted from Entertainer
Suggestion	I	5+
You suggest an action to a creature within immediate range. If the action is something that the target might normally do anyway, it follows your suggestion. If the suggestion is something that is outside of the target's nature or express duty (such as asking a guard to let an intruder pass), the suggestion fails. The creature must be level 2 or lower. The effect of your suggestion lasts for up to a minute. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the maximum level of the target you can affect by 1. Thus, to affect a level 5 target (three levels above the normal limit), you must apply three levels of Effort.When the effects of the ability end, the creature remembers following the suggestion but can be persuaded to believe that it chose to do so willingly. Action to initiate. Granted from Entertainer
Understanding	I	1
You observe or study a creature or object. Your next interaction with that creature or object gains one asset. Action. Granted from Entertainer
Anecdote	I	2	T
You can lift the spirits of a group of creatures and help them bond together by entertaining them with an uplifting or pointed anecdote. For the next hour, those who pay attention to your story are trained in a task you choose that's related to the anecdote, as long as it's not an attack or defense task. Action to initiate, one minute to complete. Granted from Entertainer
Disincentivize	I	1			X
You hinder all actions attempted by any number of targets within short range who can understand you. You choose which targets are affected. Affected targets' actions are hindered for one round. Enabler. Granted from Entertainer
Foul Aura	I	5+			X
Your words, gestures, and touch invest an object no larger than yourself with an aura of doom, fear, and doubt for one day. Creatures that can hear and understand you feel an urge to move at least a short distance away from the object. If a creature does not move away, all tasks, attacks, and defenses it attempts while within the aura are hindered. The duration of the aura is extended by one day per level of Effort applied. The aura is temporarily blocked while the object is covered or contained. Action to initiate. Granted from Entertainer
Quick Throw	S	2
After using a thrown light weapon, you draw another light weapon and make another thrown attack against the same target or a different one. Action. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy
Whirlwind Of Throws	S	5			X
With a large handful of small objects-tiny knives, shuriken, stones, jagged bits of metal, coins, or whatever is on hand-you attack every creature in an immediate area within short range. You must make attack rolls against each target. Each attack is hindered. You inflict 3 points of damage on targets you hit. Action. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy
Specialized Throwing				S
You are specialized in attacks with all weapons that you throw. Enabler. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy
Careful Aim			T
You are trained in attacks with all weapons that you throw. Enabler. Granted from Throws With Deadly Accuracy
Interaction Skills			T
You are trained in two skills in which you are not already trained. Choose two of the following: deceiving, persuading, public speaking, seeing through deception, or intimidation. You can select this ability multiple times. Each time you select it, you must choose two different skills. Enabler. Granted from Entertainer
Lead By Inquiry			T
You keep your allies on their toes with occasional questions, jokes, and even mock drills for those who care to join in. After spending 24 hours with you, your allies are treated as if trained in tasks related to perception. This benefit is ongoing while you remain in your allies' company. It ends if you leave, but it resumes if you return to the allies' company within 24 hours. If you leave the allies' company for more than 24 hours, you must spend another 24 hours together to reactivate the benefit. Enabler. Granted from Tier 3 Advancement From Entertainer
Lockpicking			T
Granted from Tier 1 Advancement
Trained In All Actions That Involve Seeing Through A Trick, An Illusion, A Rhetorical Ruse Designed To Evade The Issue, Or A Lie			T
For example, you're better at keeping your eye on the cup containing the hidden ball, sensing an illusion, or realizing if someone is lying to you (but only if you specifically concentrate and use this skill). Granted from Skeptical

Choose one Focus ability from below

Lethal Damage from Throws With Deadly Accuracy

Choose one of your existing attacks that inflicts points of damage (depending on your type and focus, this might be a specific weapon, a special ability such as a blast of fire, or your unarmed attacks). When you hit with that attack, you inflict an additional 5 points of damage. Enabler.

Mastery With Defense from Throws With Deadly Accuracy

Choose one type of defense task in which you are trained: Might, Speed, or Intellect. You are specialized in defense tasks of that type. You can select this ability up to three times. Each time you select it, you must choose a different type of defense task. Enabler.

Choose two additional abilities from below

Assume Control from Entertainer

You control the actions of another creature you have interacted with or studied for at least a round. This effect lasts for ten minutes. The target must be level 2 or lower. Once you have assumed control, the target acts as if it wants to accomplish your desire to the best of its ability, freely using its own best judgment unless you use an action to give it a specific instruction on an issue-by-issue basis. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the maximum level of the target. Thus, to attempt to command a level 5 target (three levels above the normal limit), you must apply three levels of Effort. When the effect ends, the target remembers everything that happened and reacts according to its nature and your relationship to it; assuming control might have soured that relationship if it was previously a positive one. Action to initiate.

Battle Management from Entertainer

As long as you use your action each round giving orders or advice, attack and defense actions taken by your allies within short range are eased. Action.

Crowd Control from Entertainer

You control the actions of up to five creatures in short range. This effect lasts for one minute. All targets must be level 2 or lower. Your control is limited to simple verbal commands like "Stop," "Run away," "Follow that guard," "Look over there," or "Get out of my way." All affected creatures respond to the command unless you specifically command them otherwise. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the maximum level of the targets or affect an additional five people. Thus, to control a group that has a level 4 target (two levels above the normal limit) or a group of fifteen people, you must apply two levels of Effort. When the Crowd Control ability ends, the creatures remember your commands but don't remember being controlled-your commands seemed reasonable at the time. Action to initiate.

Inspiring Success from Entertainer

When you succeed on a roll to perform a task related to the stat that you choose upon selecting this ability, and you applied at least one level of Effort, you may choose another character within short range. That character has an asset on the next task they attempt using that stat on their next turn. Enabler.

Recruit Deputy from Entertainer

You gain a level 4 follower. They are not restricted on their modifications. Alternatively, you can choose to advance a level 3 follower you already have to level 4 and then gain a new level 3 follower. Enabler.

Shatter Mind from Entertainer

Your words reverberate destructively in the brain of an intelligent level 1 target within short range that can hear and understand you. They destroy tissue, memories, and personality, triggering a vegetative state. In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the maximum level of the target. Thus, to shatter the mind of a level 5 target (four levels above the normal limit), you must apply four levels of Effort. Action. (The vegetative state created by Shatter Mind can be healed by advanced magic or science, or by a condition remover cypher that cures psychosis.)

True Senses from Entertainer

You can see in complete darkness up to 50 feet (15 m) as if it were dim light. You recognize holograms, disguises, optical illusions, sound mimicry, and other such tricks (for all senses) for what they are. Enabler.

Word Of Command from Entertainer

You utter a word so powerful that to fully invest it, you sacrifice a cypher in your possession that is level 6 or higher. You issue the word to one creature within long range that you can see. The affected target must obey the command for several hours before it is free to act as it wishes. Targets that are attacked while under the effect of the command can defend themselves. Typical commands include "retreat," "calm," "come," and "stay." The GM decides how the target acts once a command is given. Action.

▽ Background

A Entertainer is also known as a Speaker

Entertainer
You're good with words and good with people. You talk your way past challenges and out of jams, and you get people to do what you want. Speakers are smart and charismatic. They like people and, more important, they understand them. This helps speakers get others to do what needs to be done.

Skeptical
You possess a questioning attitude regarding claims that are often taken for granted by others. You're not necessarily a "doubting Thomas" (a skeptic who refuses to believe anything without direct personal experience), but you've often benefited from questioning the statements, opinions, and received knowledge presented to you by others.

Throws With Deadly Accuracy
Everything that leaves your hand goes exactly where you'd like it to go and at the range and speed to make the perfect impact.

Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- You overheard other PCs holding forth on a topic with an opinion you were quite skeptical about, so you decided to approach the group and ask for proof.
- You were following one of the other PCs because you were suspicious of him, which brought you into the action.
- Your theory about the nonexistence of the supernatural can be invalidated only by your own senses, so you came along.
- You need money to fund your research.

▽ Connections

You are in a close romantic relationship with someone in local politics.

Pick one other PC. Long ago, the two of you were on opposite sides of a fight. You won, though you 'cheated' in their eyes (but from your perspective, all's fair in a fight). They may be ready for a rematch, though that's up to them.

▽ Notes

Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Friendly NPC
An NPC you don't know, someone you don't know that well, or someone you know but who hasn't been particularly friendly in the past chooses to help you, though doesn't necessarily explain why. Maybe they'll ask you for a favor in return afterward, depending on how much trouble they go to.

Perfect Suggestion
A follower or other already-friendly NPC suggests a course of action with regard to an urgent question, problem, or obstacle you're facing.

Unexpected Gift
An NPC hands you a physical gift you were not expecting, one that helps put the situation at ease if things seem strained, or provides you with a new insight for understanding the context of the situation if there's something you're failing to understand or grasp.

Insightful
+2 to your Intellect Pool.
Granted from Skeptical

Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
Missed attacks strike the wrong target. Ricochets can be dangerous. Improvised weapons break.

Divine Radiance

available from Channels Divine Blessings

(Special Attack)

Your prayer calls divine radiance from the heavens to punish an unworthy target within long range, inflicting 4 points of damage. If the target is a demon, spirit, or something similar, it also stands in unwilling awe of the divine energy coursing through it and is unable to act on its next turn. Once exposed to this blessing, the target can't be awed by this attack again for several hours. Action. page 130 of Cypher System Rulebook
