Non-Skill Based Abilities

These are abilities of a Fortu which, when possessed, do not normally need a separate skill to use.  If a skill roll is required it would be against the Fortu Ops (KIF) skill.

Network Connection (All)

All Fortu are connected to a Fortu Specific Network, related to the Linking Ward, as well as being able to "data roam" on other networks.  This is an addressable network and messages can be sent to other Fortu without knowing there locations.  Fortu are able to suppress their connection (Run Silent) as well as possibly perform other network related abilities (Netrunning) based on their type and skills. All network communications (especially data roaming) is packet encrypted to be as secure as possible.  The Fortu Specific Network extends only on the Prime (and Tharuden), but many other networks are accessible on the other planes and communication is possible if some times spottier.  The network connection does not break stealth and is practically undetectable.

Slippery/Sticky Modes (Ops)

This mode operates differently dependent on the type of Ops Fortu this is.  For Mage and Priest Ops Fortu these modes are mutually exclusive and the Fortu must declare whether they are being slippery or resistant.  For Warrior Ops Fortu both modes are always on and not exclusive.

For Mage Ops Fortu:

• The ability to go slippery and move through arcane rituals or wards without disturbing (or being blocked by) them

• The ability to go sticky and increase magical defense and resistance to magic tremendously

For Priest Ops Fortu:

• The ability to go slippery and move through divine rituals or wards without disturbing (or being blocked by) them

• The ability to go sticky and increase their divine consecration and resistance to divine influence tremendously

For Warrior Ops Fortu:

• The ability to radiate no sense of threat and not trigger things that detect danger

• A skin that is much more resilient than other Fortu models and gives a level of invulnerability only surpassed by Guardians

Ritual Enhancement (Ops)

Ops Fortu have specialized hardware that allows them to perform activities normally carried out by people assisting the person they are linked to, but much more effectively:

• Mage Ops Fortu have the ability to assist in magical rituals with special capabilities E.g. 

  • Finger enhancements for directly inscribing ritual runes and patterns

• Priest Ops Fortu have the ability to assist in divine rituals with special capabilities E.g. 

  • The ability to act as an altar or to inscribe holy symbols that aid in consecration

• Warrior Ops Fortu have the ability to assist in tactical planning with special capabilities E.g. 

  • The ability to project maps that they have seen (as an illusion, including adding annotations)

  • The built-in ability to connect to standardized comm links to aid in communications

Accuracy (Ops)

Ops Fortu have the ability to perceive objects with a perfect sense of space and time.  Ops Fortu can count out time intervals to the millisecond, can keep perfect rhythm, can measure distances and sizes to uncanny accuracy, and can adjust their sight to see far distances or microscopic details up close.

Linking (Ops)

Ops Fortu have the ability to link to someone in order to assist them more fully. In addition to allowing them to anticipate and coordinate better this also causes the Fortu to count as part of the person when performing magic which affects the self (E.g. allowing them to travel along with, or aid in resistance).

Skill Based Abilities

Each of the following is a separate KIF skill that is a subskill of the General skill Fortu Ops.  Each of these skills is controlling a specific ability of the Archetypal Fortu Construct.  Although each skill is listed with the types that normally have it, it is not impossible for other types to access the skills as well.
