ROGUE SPECIALIZATIONS

BARDS
Mages (as well as Bards) choose Communication or
Intelligence to be their Casting Ability.
If your character is using Communication this reflects their
magic abilities being gifted, cursed, inherited, or otherwise
not very well learned, and so they do not rely on traditional
schooling or Intelligence to cast spells but instead rely on
oral instruction, instinct, or luck, however you still need the
related Communication (Arcana Talent Focus) to get the
spellcast/spellpower bonus.
If youre a Mage and choose Communication as your
Casting Ability it sub-plants Intelligence as one of your 4
Primary Abilities and Intelligence becomes one of your
Secondary Abilities. This is important especially when you
level up.

its admiration, admonishment, distraction, anger, tranquility, or otherwise all depends on the tune you

use pin in place, you must first hit with a ranged attack. If successful, you inflict no damage, but your
target is pinned in place and unable to move until it uses an activate action to free itself. While pinned
in place, all ranged attacks against the target from rogue characters are considered deadly shots. Stunts
are possible on your initial attack roll, so you could pin your opponent and then use a lightning attack
for an immediate deadly shot, for example.
Level 8: QUICK SHOT: You can make a ranged attack vs. a visible target within range as a Minor
Action. The attack roll and damage will receive a -2 penalty for the Quick Shot

target. The second attack does not generate stunt points.

The Art of Poisons
To learn a new recipe a poisoner must find a teacher, which is generally either a poisoner of greater
talent or a written record such as a book or scroll. Most high level poisoners guard their knowledge
jealously, paranoid that it will be used against them or will undermine a monopoly they enjoy in their
homeland. Books are hard to find. Those not destroyed by the zealous are often held under lock and
key.

GADGETEER
Requirements Intelligence (research) and Intelligence
3+
Novice: Tinkerer A gadgeteer can make a number of
devices equal to their intelligence per day that can
mimic the effects of one novice level mage spell. It
takes one hour per device, requires materials, and a
gadgeteer must pick the spell when crafting the device.
With an hour of searching and a successful TN 13
Intelligence (research) check you are able to scrounge
up sufficient parts to craft one gadget. A gadgeteer can
not carry more then their intelligence in gadgets at any
given time. The spell functions as normal but uses the
gadeteers Intelligence in place of willpower when
determining spellpower. Once used the gadget is
destroyed.
Journeyman: Sharp Mind You get the Intelligence (engineering) focus if you do not already have
it. You can apply your engineering focus to your gadgets from the novice level.
Master: Turret The gadgeteer creates a device that can automatically load, aim, and fire. It takes one
day and appropriate materials to craft a turret. This device is small sized and swivels on a tripod,
weighs 30 lbs, and has a magazine attachment capable of holding 15 rounds of ammunition. It can be
fitted to any bow or black powder group of weapon with an hours work. It takes a full round action to
deploy the turret into a space adjacent to the gadgeteer. This space must be flat solid ground with no
obstructions. Once deployed it immediately begins firing at its designated target, chosen when the
turret is deployed, as often as possible, taking all relevant penalties for doing so. The turret uses the
gadgeteers intelligence and any magical bonus to attack, dealing damage normally for the fitted
weapon. A max of two turrets can be carried at any given time, and turrets cannot generate stunt points.
It loads and fires at the same speed as it normally takes to fire the weapon and continues to fire until its
magazine is empty or one minute passes. If the target is out of the turrets line of sight it ceases firing
until the target is within sight again. A gadgeteer can command a turret to change targets as a minor
action.. The turret can remain activated for one minute before it must be recharged. A turret is
recharged by operating the hand crank as a major action to reset the mechanisms. Turrets may be
attacked or disarmed; they have and armor of 5 and 15 hit points. Disarming a gadeteers turret requires
a Dexterity (crafting) or Intelligence (engineering ) vs the gadgeteers Intelligence (engineering ),
which triggers a free attack against the person attempting to disable it.
