'''Domain Power:''' Threads of Fate
==Domain Power: Imminent Fate==
The channeller may carry fragments of the weave of Fate, called Threads of Fate, as an additional resource to use within this Domain. A maximum of Rank Threads of Fate may be held at any one time, and Threads of Fate exist for 1 hour after being gained before fading away. Threads of Fate may be gained in two ways:
Perception rolls gain a +1/+2/+3 Fate bonus and 9-again.
* Spend up to Rank mana as a Standard Action to gain 1 Thread of Fate per mana spent.
* If the channeller has no Threads of Fate currently, then gain a Thread of Fate on any Critical Success roll (5 or more successes) as a Free Action.

| 1 || Sense Fated || While concentrating, the channeller may sense the approximate direction, distance, and power of all Fated beings within Rank x 10 yards. Targets may attempt to conceal their power level which would be an opposed roll vs. their Magic Resistance.
| 1 || Sense Fated || When encountering a Fated or Ascendant the channeller is aware of the nature of the target and the general power. Targets may attempt to conceal their power level which would be an opposed roll vs. their Resistance.
 
Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:

| 3 || Precognition || Active: The player can query the StoryTeller to determine if unknown information not available to the character would make an action result in Positive, Neutral, or Negative consequences.
* Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to query the Storyteller to determine if unknown information not available to the channeller would make their action or another Fate's action result in Positive, Neutral, Negative, or Mixed consequences. This result is subjective, but should generally not be twisted. 1 action may be queried in this manner for each Thread consumed.
* Consume 1 Thread of Fate to re-roll a Perception roll.

| 4 || Predictive Reaction || The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when a 2nd hostile Fated targets the channeller with an attack in the same round. Area of effect attacks, untargeted attacks, accidental events, and other attacks not made specifically against the channeller are not eligible as triggering events to count as the 1st or 2nd attacks. The channeller must be specifically targeted, and the Thread of Fate is gained on the 2nd such attack each round. The Thread of Fate is gained regardless of whether or not either eligible attack succeeds in dealing damage to the channeller. Subsequent attacks each round are not eligible, regardless of how the attack manifests.

* Once per Day, if incoming damage would reduce the channeller to negative health, consume 5 Threads of Fate or 1 Story Point to negate all damage from that specific attack. This does not change the number of successes, and does not count as striking a defense. The weave of Fate has been altered so that the damage simply has no longer occurred.

| 2 || Fate's Whisper || Brush the threads of Fate with your fingers to prompt someone to make a different choice. The choice must be one that the target might reasonably choose to take and must be approved by the StoryTeller. The StoryTeller may optionally choose to provide a fixed list of possible choices for you to pick from.

|-
| 3 || Fate's Decision || The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when any Fated within Rank x 10 yards completes any Ritual.
| 3 || Fate's Decision || Make the target's last decision Fateful for them. Within 1 round of a target's decision, bind that decision by Fate for Rank days, as if under the Rank 5 Sorcerer Seed: Compel - Geas. The decision becomes so powerful to them that they automatically succeed on any Diplomacy roll to convince them to the contrary.<br> (Although this may include decisions made due to Fate's Whisper, the caster cannot ''impose'' a hostile decision on them.)


Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
* Consume 3 Threads of Fate to make the target's last decision Fateful for them. Within 1 round of a target's voluntary decision, bind that decision by Fate for 24 hours, as if under the rules of [[Geas]]. The decision must be approved by the Storyteller, and must be substantial in nature. A simple decision, such as sitting at one table vs another, or walking across a room, or carrying a loaf of bread, etc... is not considered substantial enough to be eligible.

| 4 || Fate's Path || Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
| 4 || Fate's Path || Once per encounter, reactively change Rank targets' movement actions to arrive at a different destination point. Must succeed on a spell roll opposed by Mental Defense, and targets must all be traveling the same direction and end in the same place. The total distance moved must remain the same, and the new movement action choice must be a choice that the target could have reasonably chosen to make instead (as decided by the Storyteller). The Storyteller may choose to provide a fixed list of possible movement actions to pick from. The target still retains any additional actions, as decided by the Storyteller, from their new location.
* Consume 4 Threads of Fate to change a target's movement action to arrive at a different destination point. The channeller must succeed on a spell roll opposed by Magic Resistance. The total distance moved must remain the same, and the new movement action choice must be a choice that the target could have reasonably chosen to make instead. The target may make a Standard Action from the new location as if that was the location they originally intended on moving to, if their movement action came before their Standard Action in that round. This ability may be activated after the target's movement action and before anyone else takes an action. If the action is completed and initiative moves on, what has happened has already been woven into the weave of Fate and may not be changed. The StoryTeller must approve of the new choice, or may optionally choose to provide a fixed list of possible movement actions for the channeller to pick from.

| 5 || Fate's Call || The channeller may now also gain a Thread of Fate as a Free Action when any Fated within Rank x 10 yards is restored to consciousness from negative health by targeted magical healing.
| 5 || Fate's Call || Call upon Fate to draw a target non-Fated towards Fate. Each day that Fate's Call is used on the non-Fated, the non-Fated moves a step closed to being Fated. If the non-Fated stops receiving Fate's Call prior to being full Fated, they lose all benefits and the process must begin again.

* Day 4: Gain Rank 2 in the previously selected Arcanum

| 1 || Reweave Thread || Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for one of the following effects:
| 1 || Threads of Fate || Achieving a critical success on any rolled action grants a Thread of Fate, which may be consumed to fuel abilities in this Line. A maximum of 1 Thread of Fate may be held at any time. This maximum increases to 2 at Rank 3, and then to 3 at Rank 5. Each unspent Thread of Fate expires 24 hours after being gained.
* Consume 1 Thread of Fate to negate the additional ill effects of a critical failure of you or another target Fated within Rank x 10 yards, turning it into a normal failure.
Reactively consume a Thread of Fate to negate the additional ill effects of a critical failure. This does not negate the failure, it just makes a critical failure into a normal failure. This may be used on another Fated's critical failure within range.

Threads of Fate may be re-actively consumed for additional effects:
* Consume 1 or more Threads of Fate to Ignore 1 Dodge Reduction in an incoming attack for each Thread consumed. This effect persists for Rank rounds.
* Consume 3 Threads of Fate to change the channeller's last movement action to a new permitted action, no more than 1 round ago. Only physical movement actions such as walking, running, tumbling, jumping, etc... may be changed. Movements which were part of an additional action are not eligible to be changed, as well as any movement action which is now a prerequisite for an action already woven into the pattern and can not be undone. For example re-actively change a movement action to not step out from hiding upon being spotted, thus preventing the discovery, is permitted. Re-actively changing a movement action to avoid being struck a 2nd time, which would invalidate a previously successful attack on the channeller, is not permitted. The new action is subject to Storyteller approval.

| 4 || Knotted Thread || The channeller may tie his Fate to another friendly Fated for 24 hours. While linked in this fashion, the channeller may use the other Fate's actions, experiences, and events as triggers to gain Threads of Fate and may also apply the benefit of any applicable effect of consumed Threads of Fate to the other Fated. The channeller and the linked Fated are inherently aware of the relative health and status of each other, as well as the relative distance and direction. This link remains active even across planar distances, however the channeller is only able to use Threads of Fate in a Reactive manner to benefit the linked Fated if the channeller can see the linked Fated. The benefit may still be used, but only as Fast Actions rather than Reactive actions. Only 1 other Fated may be linked in this fashion.

Seer of Fate

Rank Power Description

Active: Once per day, improve your place in the initiative order to that of another Fated within Rank x 10 yards.
3 Precognition Active: The player can query the StoryTeller to determine if unknown information not available to the character would make an action result in Positive, Neutral, or Negative consequences.
4 Predictive Reaction Active: Reactively Gain a Fate bonus to defense equal to rank for 1 round. Applies against all physical attacks and spells magical defense would affect. Does not apply to spells requiring a resistance roll.

Master of Fate

Rank Power Description
1 Fate's Aura Up to Rank non-Fated within Rank x 10 yards gain a Fate bonus to all rolls. The player may choose which non-Fated receive the bonus, and may cancel the aura.
2 Fate's Whisper Brush the threads of Fate with your fingers to prompt someone to make a different choice. The choice must be one that the target might reasonably choose to take and must be approved by the StoryTeller. The StoryTeller may optionally choose to provide a fixed list of possible choices for you to pick from. This functions as if it is a Diplomacy roll using the spell roll instead, however this is not an actual diplomacy attempt and may not contain reasoning or debate. This may not be used against any target engaged in combat.
3 Fate's Decision Make the target's last decision Fateful for them. Within 1 round of a target's decision, bind that decision by Fate for Rank days, as if under the Rank 5 Sorcerer Seed: Compel - Geas. The decision becomes so powerful to them that they automatically succeed on any Diplomacy roll to convince them to the contrary.
(Although this may include decisions made due to Fate's Whisper, the caster cannot impose a hostile decision on them.)
4 Fate's Path Once per encounter, reactively change Rank targets' movement actions to arrive at a different destination point. Must succeed on a spell roll opposed by Mental Defense, and targets must all be traveling the same direction and end in the same place. The total distance moved must remain the same, and the new movement action choice must be a choice that the target could have reasonably chosen to make instead (as decided by the Storyteller). The Storyteller may choose to provide a fixed list of possible movement actions to pick from. The target still retains any additional actions, as decided by the Storyteller, from their new location.

This ability may be activated after the target's movement action and before or after the target's standard action, but must be used before anyone else takes an action. If the action is completed and initiative moves on, what has happened has already been woven into the weave of Fate and may not be changed.

5 Fate's Call Call upon Fate to draw a target non-Fated towards Fate. Each day that Fate's Call is used on the non-Fated, the non-Fated moves a step closed to being Fated. If the non-Fated stops receiving Fate's Call prior to being full Fated, they lose all benefits and the process must begin again.
  • Day 1: Gain access to skills with 10 CC points, Gain 1 CC Benefit Point
  • Day 2: Gain one Source with one Discipline at Rank 1
  • Day 3: Gain 10 CC points for Skills, Gain 1 more CC Benefit Point
  • Day 4: Gain Rank 2 in the previously selected Arcanum
  • Day 5: Gain full Fated, access to Primary Statistics and Derived Statistics.

(may need extension/tweaking, can't progress too slowly? or too quickly?)

Weaver of Fate

Rank Power Description
1 Threads of Fate Achieving a critical success on any rolled action grants a Thread of Fate, which may be consumed to fuel abilities in this Line. A maximum of 1 Thread of Fate may be held at any time. This maximum increases to 2 at Rank 3, and then to 3 at Rank 5. Each unspent Thread of Fate expires 24 hours after being gained.

Reactively consume a Thread of Fate to negate the additional ill effects of a critical failure. This does not negate the failure, it just makes a critical failure into a normal failure. This may be used on another Fated's critical failure within range.

2 Shielded Thread Reactively Consume a Thread of Fate to gain a +Rank Fate bonus against Slay effects.
3 Thread Shift Reactively consume a Thread of Fate to ignore the first Rank of Dodge Reduction in an incoming attack. This effect persists for Rank rounds.
4 Bend Thread You now also gain a Thread of Fate when a Fated within Rank x 10 yards uses a Story Point. The channeler now gains a Thread of Fate when an ally within Rank x 10 yards uses a Story Point or gains a critical success.

Additionally: Reactively consume a Thread of Fate to (...)

5 Destined to Die Attempt to cut the strand of fate connected to a target. The next time the target suffers damage, the channeler automatically rolls a casting roll as per Slay Touch. You must have at least 1 Thread of Fate to use this power. The roll gains a +1 Fate bonus for each Thread of Fate you currently hold, but also consumes 1 Thread of Fate upon use. The consumed thread does count toward the Fate bonus prior to being consumed.
