Innate Aspect · Playtest
Supernatural alteration of mundane material
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
Change up to 10 pounds of one unattended mundane object into material of equal or lower value, preserving mass. No living tissue, fuel, food, currency, costly components or magic. No occupied supports or enclosed creatures. Volume changes to fit the new density only if empty supported space is available; otherwise activation fails without cost. On reversion use the nearest empty supported space within 5 feet; if none exists, the object remains in place without expanding until space becomes available. It cannot crush, trap or damage anything. This revision does not move the object.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Manipulate up to 10 pounds of eligible unattended material. Move it up to 10 feet on activation and with each later action, staying within range. Concentration is required while moving it. No automatic creature damage, trained tool work, manufactured wealth, or extra actions. Move eligible unattended mundane material; this does not revise its substance.
Ends: Concentration loss; duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Temporarily alter a small object's surface texture. 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.
Briefly harden a contacted surface. When you would take bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage, 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.
Notice material boundaries by touch. 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.
Surface color changes. 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.
Materials feel structurally distinct. 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.
Great Recasting: 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 hour, permanently reshape and change up to a 20-foot cube of unattended nonliving mundane material. Preserve mass and do not increase total material value. No living tissue, fuel, food, currency, costly components, or magic.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
