Character Powers are exceptional capabilities that a character may possess. These may derive from the character’s race or their profession. They also can derive from other circumstances such as cybernetics, mutations, supernatural origins, or any other situation allowed by the game master. Since player characters are considered exceptional, they tend to have one or more powers, where the “average” human does not normally have any Powers.

Some examples of Powers are a mage’s ability to cast spells, a priest’s ability to perform prayers, a psychics ability to read minds, and a dwarve’s ability to see in total darkness.
