[Keokuk]

Powers:

Stand Between Two Worlds (detect arcana [self])
PPE: 1; Range: Self; Duration: 5
Trappings: Furrowing of the brow; cast as Innate Action (cast at +1, or 1 point of free Modifiers)
Detect arcana allows the caster to see and detect all supernatural persons,
objects, or effects in sight for five rounds. This includes invisible foes, enchantments on
people or items, weird science devices, and so on. With a raise, the caster knows the general
type of enchantment as well — harmful, obscurement, magic, miracles, etc.
Detect arcana also allows a character to ignore up to 4 points of penalties when attacking foes
hidden by magical darkness, invisibility, or similar abilities (or all penalties with a raise).
MODIFIERS:
Hurry (+1) He seems to be moving along an unseen web, suddenly gaining +2 Pace while perceiving
the supernatural.
Exalted Detect (+2):
With a successful Arcane Skill check on a particular magical effect or
supernatural entity or phenomena, the caster can learn the following:
* Active powers and arcane abilities.
* Type of supernatural creature (vampire, werewolf, dragon, etc.).
* Enchantments present on an item.
* Amount of PPE or ISP possessed by a target.
* Other information the GM allows.
When used on a supernatural creature, a raise on the Arcane Skill check reveals
any susceptibilities, Weaknesses, and ways to bypass Invulnerability.

Muffle Aura (conceal arcana [self])
PPE: 1; Range: Self; Duration: 1 Hour
Trappings: Envisioning a web surrounding himself,hiding his aura; cast as Innate Action (cast at +1, or 1 point of free Modifiers)
Obscures Keokuk from detect arcana or similar abilities for the Duration. Roll Spellcasting to
oppose such Powers.
MODIFIERS:
Shroud (+1): A shadowy cocoon surrounds Keokuk, making attacks against him suffer -1 to hit, and
gives him a +1 bonus to Stealth.
Strong (+1): Conceal only. Detection rolls to see through the concealment are made at −2.
Exalted Conceal (+2): Keokuk is −2 (or −4 with a raise) to be seen or found with detect arcana,
divination, and other arcane abilities; may not be used in combination with
the power’s Strong modifier.

Repair the Web banish
PPE: 3; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Trappings: Chanting while making an abjuring gesture mimicking weaving a web
Targets otherworldly beings; opposed by target's Spirit.
Success: Target is shaken; Each Raise = 1 Wound.
Incapacitated Target is sent to its home plane.
MODIFIERS:
Fatigue (+2): Target who is at least Shaken suffers a level of Fatigue, which cannot Incapacitate
Range (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
Greater (+2/+4/+6): SBT/MBT/LBT. All Powers within area are affected (casters make separate
rolls to oppose for each), unless set aside with Selective.
Selective (+1): Effect ignores selected targets in template.

Mana Venom dispel
PPE: 1; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Trappings: Motion fingers as if they are fangs biting at the target.
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.
Opposed Arcane Skill check; Keokuk suffers -2 if opponent is using a different AB.
Success ends targeted Power; Raise also Distracts opposing Caster.
MODIFIERS:
Power (+1): For +1 Power Points, dispel can disrupt enchanted devices for one round, or
two with a raise. The difficulty to do so is −2 for permanently enchanted items such as
found in most swords & sorcery campaigns, or −4 for divine or legendary relics
Range (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
Fatigue (+2): If Keokuk successfully dispels or counters the opposing Power, the other caster
suffers one level of Fatigue that cannot Incapacitate.
Exalted (+2/+4/+6): SBT/MBT/LBT. The caster makes one Arcane Skill roll and compares it to
Arcane Skill rolls for the active powers within the Blast Template, negating those where he wins.
This affects all powers in the target area unless the Selective Power Modifier is also used.
Selective (+1): Effect ignores selected targets in template.

Yank the Weave {havoc)
PPE: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Trappings: Grips the air in front of himself as if grabbing at a web, then tugs and releases
Area of Effect: MBT centered in Range, or Cone Template emanating from Keokuk
Success: All targets touched by template are Distracted, then must make Strength check to
resist. Failure = hurled 2d6" from point of emanation. Striking an object causes 2d4 nonlethal
damage.
Raise: -2 to Strength check
Airborne Targets also suffer a -2 to the Strength check.
MODIFIERS:
Area (+1): Havoc affects a Large Blast Template.
Strong (+1): Strength rolls are made at −2.

Range (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
Hurry (+1): Target also gains the ability to scuttle like Spider; +2 Pace
Additional Recipients (+3): The power may affect more than one target for 3 additional Power
Points each.
True Invisibility (+5): Penalties now apply to all senses, not just sight. Scrying and Divination cannot
locate the target. The recipient is impossible to detect unless drawing attention. Detection or attacking
is then at -6. Detect Arcana suffers a -2 penalty; Exalted Detect and Exalted Darksight roll at no penalty.
Latter two are able to keep target in sight once detected for rest of encounter.

action, using Spellcasting when attacking in this way.

Glow (+1): Glowing web-lines trace over the target. Negates 1 point of Illumination penalties for
attacking the target while it lasts.

pounds (requires at least one Raise) or more automatically deal Mega Damage when used as weapons.
