Special Abilities
Combat Prowess
You add +1 damage to one type of weapon attack of your choice: melee weapon attacks or ranged weapon attacks. Enabler. Granted from Warrior

Innate Power
Choose either your Might Pool or your Speed Pool. When spending points to activate your focus abilities, you can spend points from this Pool instead of your Intellect Pool (in which case you use your Might Edge or Speed Edge instead of your Intellect Edge, as appropriate). Enabler Granted from Wields An Enchanted Weapon

Vulnerability
When you fail an Intellect defense roll to avoid damage, you take 1 extra point of damage. Granted from Dwarf

► Skills	Pool	Cost	T
Charge Weapon	I	2+
As part of making an attack with your enchanted weapon, you charge it with magical power, inflicting 2 additional points of energy damage. If you make more than one attack on your turn, you choose whether to spend the cost for this ability before you make each attack. Enabler. Granted from Wields An Enchanted Weapon
Enchanted Weapon	I	1
You attune yourself to a physical weapon, such as a sword, hammer, or bow. You know exactly where it is if it is within a short distance of you, and you know its general direction and distance if farther away. All of your other focus abilities require you to be holding or wielding this weapon. You can be attuned to only one weapon at a time; attuning yourself to a second weapon loses the attunement to the first one. Action to initiate, ten minutes to complete. Enabler. If you attune yourself to a different weapon, come up with a story reason for why you are able to do that and why you chose this new weapon. Granted from Wields An Enchanted Weapon
Power Crash	I	3
You strike your enchanted weapon against the ground (or a similar large surface), creating an explosion of energy that affects an area up to immediate range from that point. (If your enchanted weapon is a ranged weapon, you can instead target a point within close range to be the center of the explosion.) The blast inflicts 2 points of damage to all creatures or objects within the area (except for you). Because this is an area attack, adding Effort to increase your damage works differently than it does for single-target attacks. If you apply a level of Effort to increase the damage, add 2 points of damage for each target, and even if you fail your attack roll, all targets in the area still take 1 point of damage. Action. Granted from Wields An Enchanted Weapon
Control The Field	M	1
This melee attack inflicts 1 less point of damage than normal, and regardless of whether you hit the target, you maneuver it into a position you desire within immediate range. Action. Granted from Warrior
Crushing Blow	M	2
When you use a bashing or bladed weapon in both hands and apply Effort on the attack, you get a free level of Effort on the damage. (If fighting unarmed, this attack is made with both fists or both feet together.) Action. Granted from Warrior
Danger Sense	S	1
Your initiative task is eased. You pay the cost each time the ability is used. Enabler. Granted from Combat Flavor
Physical Skills			T
You are trained in two skills in which you are not already trained. Choose two of the following: balancing, climbing, jumping, running, or swimming. You can select this ability multiple times. Each time you select it, you must choose two different skills. Enabler. Granted from Warrior
Skill With Attacks			T
Choose one type of attack in which you are not already trained: light bashing, light bladed, light ranged, medium bashing, medium bladed, medium ranged, heavy bashing, heavy bladed, or heavy ranged. You are trained in attacks using that type of weapon. You can select this ability multiple times. Each time you select it, you must choose a different type of attack. Enabler. Granted from Warrior

Rapid Attack from Wields An Enchanted Weapon

Once per round, you can make an additional attack with your chosen weapon. Enabler.

Throw Enchanted Weapon from Wields An Enchanted Weapon

Choose three additional abilities from below

Deadly Aim from Warrior

For the next minute, all ranged attacks you make inflict 2 additional points of damage. Action to initiate.

Energy Resistance from Warrior

Choose a discrete type of energy that you have experience with (such as heat, sonic, electricity, and so on). You gain +5 to Armor against damage from that type of energy. You must be familiar with the type of energy; for example, if you have no experience with a certain kind of extradimensional energy, you can't protect against it. You can select this ability more than once. Each time you select it, you must choose a different kind of energy. Enabler.

Experienced In Armor from Warrior

The cost reduction from your Practiced in Armor ability improves. You now reduce the Speed cost by 2. Enabler.

Expert Cypher Use from Warrior

You can bear three cyphers at a time. Enabler.

Fury from Warrior

For the next minute, all melee attacks you make inflict 2 additional points of damage. Action to initiate.

Lunge from Warrior

This ability requires you to extend yourself for a powerful stab or smash. The awkward lunge hinders the attack roll. If your attack is successful, it inflicts 4 additional points of damage. Action.

Reaction from Warrior

If a creature you attacked on your last turn with a melee attack uses its action to move out of immediate range, you gain an action to attack the creature as a parting blow, even if you have already taken a turn in the round. Enabler.

Seize The Moment from Warrior

If you succeed on a Speed defense roll to resist an attack, you gain an action. You can use the action immediately even if you have already taken a turn in the round. You don't take an action during the next round, unless you apply a level of Effort when you use Seize the Moment. Enabler.

Slice from Warrior

This is a quick attack with a bladed or pointed weapon that is hard to defend against. You are trained in this task. If the attack is successful, it deals 1 less point of damage than normal. Action.

Spray from Warrior

If a weapon has the ability to fire rapid shots without reloading (usually called a rapid-fire weapon, such as a crank crossbow or submachine gun), you can spray multiple shots around your target to increase the chance of hitting. This ability uses 1d6 + 1 rounds of ammo (or all the ammo in the weapon, if it has less than the number rolled). You are trained in making this attack. If the attack is successful, it deals 1 less point of damage than normal. You can also use this ability on multiple thrown weapons (stones, shuriken, daggers, and so on) if you're carrying them on your person or they are all within reach. Action.

Trick Shot from Warrior

As part of the same action, you make a ranged attack against two targets that are within immediate range of each other. Make a separate attack roll against each target. The attack rolls are hindered. Action.

Vigilance from Warrior

You take a cautious approach to combat, focusing more on protecting yourself than on hurting your opponents. While this ability is active, you gain an asset on Speed defense rolls against melee and ranged attacks, and your melee and ranged attacks are hindered. This effect lasts for as long as you wish, but it ends if no combat is taking place within range of your senses. Action to initiate.

Practiced With All Weapons from Combat Flavor

You become practiced with light, medium, and heavy weapons and suffer no penalty when using any kind of weapon. Enabler.

Successive Attack from Combat Flavor

If you take down a foe, you can immediately make another attack on that same turn against a new foe within your reach. The second attack is part of the same action. You can use this ability with melee attacks and ranged attacks. Enabler.

▽ Background

Dwarf
You're a stocky, broad-shouldered, bearded native of the mountains and hills. You're also as stubborn as the stone in which the dwarves carve their homes under the mountains. Tradition, honor, pride in smithcraft and warcraft, and a keen appreciation of the wealth buried under the roots of the world are all part of your heritage. Those who wish you ill should be wary of your temper. When dwarves are wronged, they never forget.

Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- You found the PCs wandering a maze of tunnels and led them to safety.
- The PCs hired you to dig out the entrance to a buried ruin.
- You tracked down the thieves of your ancestor's tomb and found they were the PCs. Instead of killing them, you joined them.
- Before dwarves settle down, they need to see the world.

Wields An Enchanted Weapon
You have a weapon with strange abilities, and your knowledge of its powers has allowed you to create a unique style of combat with it.

▽ Connections

Your uncle runs a theater in town. You know all the actors and watch all the shows for free.

Pick one other PC. That character knows you have suffered at the hands of robotic entities in the past. Whether you hate robots now is up to you, which may affect your relationship with the character if they are friendly with robots or have robotic parts.

▽ Notes

Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Perfect Setup
You're fighting at least three foes and each one is standing in exactly the right spot for you to use a move you trained in long ago, allowing you to attack all three as a single action. Make a separate attack roll for each foe. You remain limited by the amount of Effort you can apply on one action.

Old Friend
A comrade in arms from your past shows up unexpectedly and provides aid in whatever you're doing. They are on a mission of their own and can't stay longer than it takes to help out, chat for a while after, and perhaps share a quick meal.

Weapon Break
Your foe's weapon has a weak spot. In the course of the combat, it quickly becomes damaged and moves two steps down the object damage track.

Stalwart
+2 to your Might Pool.
Granted from Dwarf

Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
A weapon breaks or is dropped. The character loses their connection to the weapon until they use an action to reestablish the attunement. The weapon's energy discharges in an unexpected way.
