====Class Feature: Initiate's Vow====

  * When you join the cult of an Imperial Muse, you swear a vow. 
  * As a Paladin of the Rod, pick one vow from below:

  * I will never heal another.
  * I will never back down from a fight.
  * I will never use diplomacy as my first method of solving a problem. 

  * You should roleplay this vow accordingly. 
  * This vow allows you to use Might to perform the Acts below.
  * If you ever feel as though you have violated your vow, let the GM know:
  * You will lose all your Might for the adventure. 

===Acts===

==Mighty Blow==
  * You may call STAGGER on your next blow.
==Crack the Fabric==
  * You strike the world so hard it reverberates under your blow, cracks opening to the beyond. 
  * Call a TIME FREEZE when you make this call. 

==Scythe through Wheat==
  * Sweeping your weapon before you, call an arced ARCED (DAMAGE) STAGGER. 
  * You may only do this once every 30 seconds.

==Cleave the Clouds==
  * After spending 5 seconds visibly building up to a big blow:
  * You may call DAMAGE+2 STAGGER at up to three targets in a rough line. 

==Earth Flees from my Blow==
  * You drive someone down into the earth.
  * Call WOUND BOTH LEGS by melee blow

==Crush the Limb==
  * You may call WOUND on your next melee blow.

==Punt==
  * You may call REPEL on your next melee blow.

==Shattering blow==
  * You may call BREAK on your next melee blow. 

==Shockwave==
  * As you strike the ground a shockwave ripples out. 
  * Call MASS WOUND BOTH LEGS.

==Greater Punt==
  * You may call REPEL 20 on your next melee blow.

==Greatest threat==
  * You may call MASS TAUNT. 

==Aura of malice==
  * You may call MONSTERS FEAR. 

==Brutality==
  * You may call WOUND 15 on your next melee blow. 

==Blast off==
  * You may call BLAST OFF on your next melee blow.
  * The enemy calls DISAPPERARING. The enemy calls REAPPEARING in the same spot in 30s and calls a MASS QUAD STAGGER.
  * If this is used on ally, they may relocate themselves within the encounter.  

==Die Hard==
  * Not even death can halt your rampage.
  * For the first 10 seconds of your death count you may stay up and fighting. 
  * You can only use this once per death count. 

===Skills===

==I am the Rod==
  * You may with ten seconds searching find something which will - for you and only you - count as a standard version of any weapon you can use. 

==Avatar of destruction==
  * You give off an aura of vindictive potent threat at all times. 
  * In addition once per adventure you may bring your full might to bear in an act of cataclysmic destruction.
  * You may use this ability to retire. If so, the destruction wrought by this act is likely to be far greater in magnitude. 

==Blood Rage==
  * Every time you take down an opponent take a HEAL 1.

==Thrill of battle==
  * If you are on two or less hits and have no armor hits, you are STRENGTHENed.

==Abstract Destruction==

  * Once per adventure you may declare you are going to destroy something present in the encounter (this can be anything). 
  * You must concentrate on destroying it without interruption for 60s (i.e. you cannot call damage, use other abilities or move or the timer is reset). 
  * If successful, call a TIME FREEZE. 
  * You immediately enter a physic combat to attempt to do so. 
  * The difficulty of this will depend on what you are attempting to destroy - some fights may be impossible but you are likely to gain some insight even on a failure. 
  * You may use this ability to retire. In which case, you gain buffs in the psychic combat at GM discretion. 
  * Even failure is likely to have a tangible effect upon the world. 

====Icon====
  * You have made an icon to the Muse you follow. 
  * Twice per adventure you may use this to attempt to divine the Muse's opinion on a matter.
  * The responses, if they arrive are generally cryptic.
  * Icons are hard to lose or break.
  * If either occurs, they will likely find there way back to the paladin, restored, after a couple of encounters.

  * For paladins of the Rod their icon is virtually always a weapon of some description. 
  * This weapon counts as instilled with the following [[quality|qualities]]: strong, draining, brutal.  

===Icon Attunement===
  * Your icon is IMMUNE to break.

===Echoes of Self===
  * For one encounter per adventure, you gain +1 damage.
