Dexterity

Scions with Epic Dexterity are mind-blowingly quick and supernaturally graceful. They add their Epic Dexterity successes in yards to their Move speeds, and add twice that amount to their Dash speeds. They also add their Epic Dexterity successes to their Dodge DV, as their divine agility allows them to slip ghost-like around the claws of their foes, or to walk between the bullets in a hail of gunfire.And The Crowd Goes Wild Knacks

UNTOUCHABLE OPPONENT

Cost: 3 Legend per scene

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

Prerequisite: Divine Balance

As active and quick as a mirage, the Scion with this Knack is extraordinarily difficult to hit, being too limber and well-practiced in dodging to strike without a great deal of effort; even those who do manage to strike her seldom do more than wing her as they go by.

Type: Miscellaneous

Prerequisite: Lightning Sprinter

Breaking all natural laws for human speed, the Scion with this Knack may run at staggering velocities.

PEREGRINE FLEETNESS

Cost: 3 Legend per scene

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

Prerequisite: Fast As Thought

At any point during a scene where she has activated Fast As Thought, she may may reflexively pay 3 legend to increase her velocity to a total of six times her normal movement and dash speeds (which has already been doubled from Lightning Sprinter).

Microscopic Precision Knacks

MICROSCOPIC PRECISION

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

Prerequisite: Microscopic Precision

The Scion with this knack has devastating and surgical precision with any up close and personal weapon. Whenever she makes a melee or brawl attack, she may choose to set her weapon damage to +6 dice.

Monkey Climber Knacks

MONKEY CLIMBER

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

Type: Miscellaneous

Prerequisite: Monkey Climber

Dice Pool: None

Type: Miscellaneous

Prerequisite: Spider Climber

Omnidexterity Knacks

OMNIDEXTERITY

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

The ambidextrous of the world are often envied for the greater freedom they have when it comes to movement and manipulation, but the Scion with this Knack takes that freedom to its extreme.

BLITZKRIEG

Cost: 2 Legend per use

Dice Pool: Dexterity + Ability (vs DV)

Type: Miscellaneous

Prerequisite: Omnidexterity

Where most Scions can only manage to strike one telling blow in a single action, a scion with this knack may transform herself into a figurative whirlwind of offensive action.

Damage is assigned to each target independently based upon how much she exceeds each of their DV.

Trick Shooter Knacks

TRICK SHOOTER

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

The Scion with this Knack is able to pull off the most impressive ranged feats with flair. Once per scene, she may automatically succeed at any marksmanship or thrown attack regardless of the difficulty, as long as it is physically possible for her to succeed.

RICOCHET SYMPHONY

Cost: 1 Legend per attack

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

Prerequisite: Trick Shooter

The Scion may curve or rebound a projectile at impossible angles, completely negating the effect of obstacles in her way.

This completely ignores any cover bonuses that her target might have.

SHOT TO THE HEART

Cost: 3 Legend per use

Dice Pool: Dexterity + Ability (vs DV)

Type: Miscellaneous

Prerequisite: Ricochet Symphony

A ranged combatant without peer, the Scion knows exactly where to aim to deal the most devastating damage, circumventing the attempts of opponents to avoid her.

Dice Pool: Dexterity + Larceny

Cost: 3 Legend and 1 Willpower per use

Dice Pool: Dexterity + Larceny

Type: Reflexive

Prerequisite: Quick Draw

With lightning fast reflexes, a Scion can become a sorting machine of epic proportions, or become the greatest thief ever known to man. When she activates this knack, she snatches something so quickly outo f the air or from someone's hand that they actually continue to perform the action they tried without the object.

DIVINE CREATOR

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Persistent

The Scion with this knack is simply among the most talented craftsmen on the planet, no matter what form of creation she chooses. She may count her dots of Art as successes instead of dice on any roll, and use her Dexterity to calculate the beauty and emotional reaction of the objects she creates.

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Miscellaneous

No stranger to being the target of unfriendly attention, the Scion with this Knack has reflexes so finely honed that she may deflect or block even the fastest attacks directed at her friends. As long as she describes a satisfactory stunt to the Storyteller, she may add her dots of Epic Dexterity to the Dodge DV and Soak DV of every ally that is close to her until her next action. She does not gain the same benefits.
