Faith Points - Event
1 - the Goddess herself notices you, visiting you in your dreams. Can use the Goddess’s visage in supers and Finishers.
Grants the user a Torture skill of 1. Skill points can be placed into this skill as normal.
Skill: Torture (Wisdom) - when torturing a bound, helpless victim roll a d20 and add your Torture skill versus DC of (target’s CON modifier) or (target’s WIS modifier) + d20. You can choose to instead focus on FORT or WILL save instead of CON or WIS - if you succeed, the DC lowers each time you focus on that particular save. Negate WILL save enough and you may put the target in Mind Break status. Negate FORT save enough and you may place the target in a coma.
If you have at least 5 ranks invested into Intimidation or Persuasion, you can immediately gain a +2 synergy bonus once Torture has been acquired.
10 - Green Work
Allows the user to add their Medical skill to a single To Hit once per combat. Can negate Crit Fail once per session.
50 - Addition and Subtraction
Allows the user to set Torture skill to same base amount as Medical. Both Medical and Torture skils are then combined into “Aggressive Healing” skill.
Aggressive Healing - Takes twenty minutes to apply. Deals 1d8 damage to target, but immediately grants them +Aggressive Healing skill in HP (up to HP total). Target must pass a Con DC (user’s ECL) check or be knocked out for twelve hours in a medical coma.
100 - Rush of Pride
Double achievements/awards after a successful kill once per day. Grants x3 Favor Points if done upon an altar as a sacrifice to Sestra.
150 - SLA: Shot In The Dark (1/day)
Once per day allows the user to target anyone or anything within sight as a free action. They may then throw a melee weapon as a standard attack action - this melee weapon will have “homing” as well as “flight” capabilities, and will keep going after the target even if they leave the user’s sight or attempt to place obstacles between each other.
Once the target is struck, the weapon will immediately return magically to the user’s hand. Damage dealt this way is doubled before Crit.
200 - Grateful Offerings
While making a sacrifice onto an altar of Sestra with a properly blooded and ritualized athame knife, gain double the Favor points once per session. Must be activated before a sacrifice is made.
300 - Spell: Recyle The Tool
Ressurects a sacrifice done while Grateful Offerings is activated as a living thrall. Can only be done once per session. If killed while under the power of Recycle The Tool, the target is immediately turned to ashes due to True Death. While still living, only creatures with a higher Elan can sense the Recyling.)
500 - Drink The Blood Of The Priest
User must consume a special potion granted by Sestra. If they survive the several checks (Wis/Str/Con) with a rising DC, they gain +10 to all ability modifiers as a supernatural bonus.
Once a day the user may call upon the power of Sestra and add 1/3 of their Faith Points to their AC as a reaction bonus.
Once a day the user may call upon the power of Sestra to deal 1/10th of their Faith Points as bonus damage to any successful attack as a reaction bonus.
In order to acquire more Faith Points, one must successfully pass a quest handed to them by the Head Priest.
700 - Reinforcement of Revel
Forces the user to sign a new contract with Sestra. Allows Sestra to be summoned within the user’s flesh either once per week or as Sestra demands it. Sestra completely re-organizes the character’s player sheet (if they have one) and must only advance as Sestra wills it. Should they ever go against Sestra’s demands, desires, and whims then they face massive penalties immediately.
All abilities +10.
HP total x2
Spell slots/EP x2
1000 - Granted
The user is now completely synchronized with Sestra, and is for all intents and purposes Her. The character experiences True Death, and Sestra can descend upon the world in physical form.
No one has successfully done this, though, due to the high demands necessary to unleash it, on top of getting past the milestones required at each level.
