Background:

Henry was born to a clan of Raven shapeshifters. From a young age, he would hear voices and see things that weren't there. Among his people this was an indication that he would become a mystic, so on his 13th birthday he was sent to an ancient tree and instructed to ingest a hallucinogenic flower. Shortly thereafter he had a vision, where he felt an otherworldly presence enter his being and merge with his soul. It was an aspect of the ancient god raven, and it tasked him with making his way into the world making things right to ravens way of thinking.

Edge: Power Points P.P.E. (5 xp advancement)

Powers: Cosmic Confluence: Not only do Mystics enjoy the unique capacity to possess two Arcane Backgrounds, they are able to interchange their ISP and PPE as needed. A Mystic can sacrifice two ISP to use as one PPE, and vice versa. Power Points shifted like this must be used at the moment they are exchanged, they cannot be shifted and then simply stored. For example, if a Mystic shifts 4 PPE in order to gain 2 ISP, he must immediately use those points of ISP to enact a psionic power. „ Master of Magic: Mystics have the Master of Magic Edge, gaining Mega Powers for all their known powers. They also have the Rapid Recharge Edge, though it only applies to their PPE recovery (not ISP). „ Mystic Awareness: Mystics have powerful extrasensory perception and attunement, granting them the Alertness and Danger Sense Edges, as well as the use of detect arcana at will, costing no PPE or ISP, as a free action. They can also sense powerful supernatural beings with a Notice check, anywhere within line of sight „ Spiritual Channel: Constantly in contact with spirits, and possibly divine messengers of his faith, a Mystic can use the divination power without using ISP or PPE. Each time he uses it, he must make a Vigor roll to resist gaining a level of Fatigue. Each subsequent use of the power imposes a cumulative −1 penalty on the Vigor check until he gets a full night’s rest (eight hours). It is possible for a Mystic to Incapacitate himself with this ability. Fatigue levels gained from Spiritual Channel can only be recovered with eight hours of rest (succor cannot restore). Mystics have access to communion but activate it normally with 10 PPE.

Magic:
Dispel [Dispel] (3 PPE/ISP) [Seasoned]
Range: Smarts
Duration: Instant
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

Dispel allows a hero to negate enemy spells, miracles, mad science, or super powers. It has no effect on innate powers, such as a dragon’s breath or a banshee’s scream. Neither does dispel work on magic items or permanent enchantments unless the specific item or enchantment says otherwise.
Dispel can be used on a power already in effect or to counter an enemy power as it’s being used. The latter requires the countering mage to be on Hold and interrupt his foe’s action as usual.
In either case, dispelling the opponent’s power is an opposed roll of arcane skills. The dispelling character suffers a –2 modifier if the target power is of another type (magic vs. miracles, superpowers vs. mad science, etc).

Trapped Mega Power Name [Exalted Dispel] (6 PPE/ISP)
Range: Smarts x2
Duration: Instant (1d6 minutes)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

This is the ultimate directed dispel power, able to undo any active power currently active in a Large Burst Template. It can also dampen enchantments on items within the area, shutting them down for 1d6 minutes. When used against items, the casting roll is against a base 4 instead of opposed; the GM should feel free to impose penalties for particularly powerful items (−2 for a major item, −4 for an artifact, or even −6 for a true relic of great power).

Raven's Favor [Boost/Lower Trait] (2 PPE/ISP) [Novice]
Range: Smarts
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

This power allows a character to increase any of a target’s Traits by one die type for a standard success, or by two with a raise. The affected Trait can exceed d12. Each step over d12 adds +1 to his Trait total. For example, a raise on someone who already has a d12 in the affected Trait grants him d12+2 for the duration of the power.
The power can also be used to lower an opponent’s Trait. This is an opposed roll against the victim’s Spirit. Success lowers any Trait of the caster’s choice one step, a raise lowers it two steps. A Trait cannot be lowered below a d4. Multiple castings stack, though the caster must keep track of when each casting expires as usual.

• Additional Targets: The power may affect an additional target for every additional Power Point spent, up to a maximum of five targets. All targets share the same effect and Trait affected.

Trapped Mega Power Name [Greater Boost/Lower Trait] (4 PPE/ISP)
Range: Smarts x2
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

This Mega Power doubles the power’s effect; two die types for a success, four with a raise.

Trapped Power Name [Illusion] (3 PPE/ISP) [Novice]
Range: Smarts
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

Illusion makes a single target see something that isn’t there, or else see things differently than they actually are. The caster’s arcane skill roll is opposed by the target’s Spirit; a success means the target perceives the illusion as real with all of her senses, but each direct interaction with the illusion (an attack, directly touching it, or being impeded by the image in some way) grants the target an additional opposed roll to realize it’s not real. With a raise by the
caster, the target is convinced the illusion is real for as long as it’s maintained.
Illusory attacks can’t actually wound a target but can cause the perception of damage. Such “attacks” are made with the caster’s arcane skill opposed by the target’s Spirit with a success causing a Shaken. Passive illusions, like a wall, take little effort to maintain. The Power Point cost must be met, but only normal maintenance penalties apply. Active illusions, such as a black cat or attacking enemies (see above), require constant concentration. The caster must use an action each round spent maintaining such illusions. This power only works on sapient beings. It is useless against animals, robots, or mindless creatures.

Trapped Mega Power Name [Deadly Illusion] (6 PPE/ISP Cost)
Range: Smarts x2
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

This Mega Power causes illusion to become potentially deadly for those who are targeted. A raise on the opposed roll for an illusory attack causes a wound, as does a success if the target is already Shaken.

Morrigan's Gift [Smite] (2 PPE/ISP) [Novice]
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Morrigan's Gift

Effect

This power is cast on a weapon of some sort. If it’s a ranged weapon, it affects one entire magazine, 20 bolts, shells, or arrows, or one full “load” of ammunition (the GM may have to determine the exact quantity for unusual weapons). While the spell is in effect, the weapon’s damage is increased by +2 or +4 with a raise.

• Additional Targets: The character may affect up to five targets by spending a like amount of additional Power Points.

Trapped Mega Power Name [Greater Smite] (4 PPE/ISP)
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

This Mega Power version of smite confers two effects:
[*]The bonus damage is +4 with success, +8 with a raise, and the damage becomes Mega Damage.
[*]The caster may choose any Trapping to confer at the time of casting. This might be silver, fire, holy light, etc.[/size]

Psionics:

Trapped Power Name [Clairvoyance] (3+ PPE/ISP) [Seasoned]
Range: Varies
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

Clairvoyance allows the caster to sense people, places, and things outside of normal perception. The Range varies depending on the Arcane skill roll. A success gives the caster a Range equal to her Spirit × 10 in miles, and a raise increases that to Spirit × 100 miles. Walls, doors, and other barriers do not hamper clairvoyance in any way, though magical barriers may block it at the GM’s discretion. While it’s active, the user of this power can shift the point of observation to anywhere within her Range as a free action.
When using clairvoyance, the caster chooses a single sense (usually sight) to project. For each additional 1 PP she spends at casting, she may add an additional sense; this does not affect maintenance costs.

Trapped Power Name [Deflection] (2 PPE/ISP) [Novice]
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

Deflection powers work in a variety of ways. Some actually deflect incoming attacks, others blur the target’s form or produce other illusionary effects. The end result is always the same however — to misdirect incoming melee and missile attacks from the user.
With a standard success, attackers must subtract 2 from any Fighting, Shooting, or other attack rolls directed at the user. A raise increases the penalty to –4. This also acts as Armor against area effect weapons.

Trapped Power Name [Speed] (1 PPE/ISP) [Novice]
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Trapping: Chosen Trapping

Effect

Warriors who need to close with their foes quickly often use this power, as do those who sometimes need to outrun things Man Was Not Meant to Know. Speed allows the target of the power to move faster than usual. With a success, the recipient’s basic Pace is doubled. With a raise, running becomes a free action, so he may ignore the usual –2 running penalty.

Limitations:

Arcane Duality: Mystics get the Arcane Background Edge twice for two different types of powers, but whenever they take a Power Edge, they must choose whether it applies to magic or psionics. Mystics can take the Power Points Edge twice per Rank but only to gain PPE with one use and ISP with the other. „ Cybernetics: Mystics suffer the same penalties from cybernetics as any other arcane character (page 108). Except for them the disruption affects two skills (−1 to both Mysticism and Psionics skills per point of Strain). „ Enemies: Mystics are equally illegal and reviled in the Coalition and the True Federation of Magic. „ Higher Standard: For no added benefit, a Mystic must take a Hindrance representing his spiritual path and cosmological belief system such as Code of Honor, Major Pacifist, or Major Vow (the Vow must be “good” per GM’s approval). He must hold to that or risk his Arcane Background (Miracles) powers (per Protector in Savage Worlds).

Proposed Race: The Yaahl
The Yaahl. The Yaahl are raven shapeshifters. They are a curious race, often getting into trouble for sticking their beaks where they don’t belong. Their belief system entails the idea that they are tasked with enforcing the karmic cycle. They are very concerned with the concept of justice and never let a slight go by whether that it happened to them individually, or a stranger.


Shapeshift (4 points for size 0 animal, 2 points for SPC tax, -2 for limited to one form) 4 points.

The Yaahl can shape shift with an action into the form of a raven (use the following stat-block):
Physical Attributes: Agility d10, Strength d4, Vigor d4
Skills: Fighting d6, Notice d12+4, Stealth d8
Pace: —; Parry: 5; Toughness: 2
Treasure: None
Special Abilities:
Clever Bird: Ravens and other corvids are among the
smartest of birds. Among their abilities in this regard is
vocal mimicry. Shapeshifted Yaahl can speak well enough
to be understood, and may even make use of PPE-based
Arcane Backgrounds at -2 to the roll. Psionics are
not hindered at all.
• Scavengers: If holding to Raven form for at least half
of their waking hours, the Yaahl makes Survival rolls at +2.
• Claws: Str+d4.
• Flying: Flying Pace 8”.
• Size –2: Corvids can measure up to 2’ in
height, though most are closer to 1.
• Small: Attackers suffer a –2 penalty to
attack rolls because of the beast’s size.



Hinderance: Major (Curious) Yaahl are very inquisitive, often letting their curiosity overtake their sense of self preservation. -2 Points.

Hinderance: Vengeful (Minor) The Yaahl will do their best to right a wrong, stopping short of actual murder. -1 Points

Racial Enemy: Psi-Stalkers The Yaahl are especially tasty to Psi-Stalkers, considered to be a delicacy. -1 Points

Starting Smarts d6 Hiding in plain sight has ensured that only the most clever Yaahl have survived. 2 Points

Signature item


Armbow:

Base Item: Cybernetically Implanted Compound Longbow (2d6 damage, 30/60/120, RoF 1, Cost 600 CR, Strain 1).
Minor: Celestial Silver Trapping, +1 Shooting Rolls (+10K)
Major:
CyberPsychic Alignment Edge (+40K)
Quick Draw Edge (+20K)
+1 DT Shooting (+10K)
Marksman Edge (+40K)
Cost: 120,660 Cr
Activation Cost: 5 PPE/30 Shots or until deactivated
This TW Cyber-Weapon is implanted in the off arm and the back; when inactive, it has no Strain, but also no actual function, appearing as a pair of silver streaks on the skin (one in each location). Upon being activated with the user's PPE, it becomes a fully functional bow; even the arrows are available, from a quiver that emerges along the spine. It costs 5 PPE to activate, and comes with 30 arrows in the quiver. Arrows are enchanted with Celestial Silver, and do MD to creatures normally vulnerable to either Holy or Silver weapons. As a downside, when 'dismissed', the remaining arrows are lost. Also, while it does not inhibit Henry's Shapeshifting, it also is not accessible when he is in Raven form.
