This is known as an Act of Power. All characters have some number of Acts of Power they may perform per adventure, initially this is 0, and it may never exceed 2. text/html 2018-01-29T22:53:42+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/system:affinities?rev=1517266422&do=diff Religious Affinities These are intended as a jumping off point to characterisation and a sometimes useful setting hook. If you don't have any characterisation yet or aren't interested you can treat your character as Indifferent to all aspects. Some have made attempts to describe the gods as having shared elements of their ethoses.

Provides mostly self-buffs at the cost of rejecting benefits gained from being part of a collective. Magic is cast by motioning as though to take on a mask using one empty hand, holding it in place for 5 seconds and then releasing the spell.
