Innate Aspect · Playtest
Movement between positions without crossing the intervening space
Start here: Choose an Aspect, set your level and Intelligence score, then open one of its three paths. At level 1, you can spend your 2 points on two rank-I paths. Use Try this Aspect to spend points in the builder; this page previews rules.
2 Mastery Points at this level · Five free basics
1 point total in this path · Earlier ranks required
Move up to 10 feet by the stated mode. This supplies displacement, not a speed increase; ordinary terrain and speed-0 restrictions apply except for teleportation. Does not grant an attack or extra action. Teleport to a visible unoccupied destination; sufficient space is required.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Blink a held trinket between hands. Action; touch or within 5 feet, normally no more than 1 pound. No damage, conditions, saleable material, or replacement for trained tool work.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Displace the point of impact. When you would take damage from an attack you can see, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Feel immediately adjacent open space. Notice relevant exposed phenomena within 5 feet. Does not automatically reveal hidden creatures, intentions, diagnoses, or facts. A stated touch requirement still applies.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
A distinctive blink-flash. Action; simple observable signals within 30 feet. No automatic privacy or language comprehension. Explicit willing-touch thought, dream-image, or mood expressions use touch instead of remote signaling.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Positions feel like reachable relationships. Descriptive sensory experience only. Grants no immunity, proficiency, compulsory personality, or unstated mechanical benefit.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Proficiency +2; Intelligence modifier +3. Aspect attacks use their sum; saves use 8 + their sum. These are PC level-based examples. NPCs and monsters use their actual proficiency.
3 maximum Charges, restored by a long rest. Pay only the cost printed on the ability. All actions and concentration share your ordinary turn.
Worldstep: 5 points, one rank-V path and rank II in both others. Natural access begins at level 20; paid ultimate acceleration can permit level 17. One shared annual recovery record and bodily strain apply.
After 1 uninterrupted minute, transport self and up to eight willing touched creatures to a previously visited location on the same plane. Arrival requires sufficient empty space; otherwise activation fails without consumption.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
