Custom Edge: Twin Soul
Twin Soul
Requirements: Novice, d6 Spirit, mind link, and either Beast Bond, Sidekick or being actual twins
You have a special and persistent bond with another being. Your bond mate has the perpetual benefits of the mind link power with you, ignoring range. In addition when you activate a beneficial power that can affect multiple targets, both you and your twin soul gain the benefits of that power. This even allows self only powers to affect your bond mate.
The following powers are affected by this edge, regardless of the arcane background mind link is sourced from: arcane protection, boost Trait, damage field, deflection, protection, smite, speed, and warrior's gift.
Unfortunately this bond can be perceived when looked for by rolling detect arcana -2 (no modifier with exalted detect arcana). On a success they can perceive the thread connecting the two being and target either target through the other.
The bond mate with this Edge can also sense the general health and well being of the other with a Notice roll, as an action. On a raise, this gives precise information, such as wound and fatigue levels, infected or poisoned status, and shaken or stunned states.
Note: When this edge is taken it is a one way benefit, unless the bond mate likewise takes the edge.

Re: Custom Edge: Twin Soul
I was asked what Twins are, so for clarity here is a wiki explaining what I am talking about.

Could this also perhaps be taken by a Hatchling and the person he/she has bonded with?

Re: Custom Edge: Twin Soul
By default only if on of the conditions are met (sidekick in the case of a wild card) however,if the GM thinks it is close enough I would think fiat would allow it to happen.
The idea is these arcane beings are able to form a permanent bond with someone.
I m still in the feedback phase so willing to see alternate requirements.

Just want to clarify, mind link is a requirement yes?

Re: Custom Edge: Twin Soul
Yes, but only for the one with the edge. The other person does not need to meet the requirements unless they also want to take the edge in reciprocation.

Cheers.
Sorry, it was more of a grammar thing...as in whether you needed one or the other.

Re: Custom Edge: Twin Soul
sure, went ahead and tightened up the language to be more clearly defined.

Re: Custom Edge: Twin Soul
I change this to detect arcana at -2 or simply only make it visible via exalted detect arcana...seems odd to activate a power successfully then need a Notice roll.Those with detect arcana active can make a notice -2 roll. On a success they can perceive the thread connecting the two being and target either target through the the other.
