   * You may count the group as 10 times larger for the purpose of how much they can get done.
+====Lv3====
 ===Expeditious Retreat===
   * A good general knows when to leave a fight.
-  * By calling FLEE YOU FOOLS you give yourself and each ally an AGILITY which they must use straight away to run away if they use it at all.

-===All according to plan===
+  * The Throne will know if the terms of the deal have been broken and may choose to visit punishment as they see fit.

-  * You are always prepared for any situation.

-  * Using this Act causes you to produce an item from your pack to assist with the task at hand.
+  * Call MASS FEAR 30.
-  * You must have been able to afford this item.
+===Treacherous Strike===
-  * The item must have been something which could feasibly have fitted into your pack.

-===Poisoner's glove===
+  * A person may benefit from a duplicate skill once in this way.
+  * (For example: a rod paladin may benefit by being given a second lv.1 tough skill, and a second level 2 tough skill, but not a third lv.1 tough skill.)
-  * You may ready a call for delivery by supernatural means.
-  * After you have used this ability, a call that you could have made (via any means) is used up. Instead, you gain the ability to release the call via friendly physical contact (a handshake, touching another's shoulder, etc).
-  * You cannot release the call in combat.
-  * You cannot have more than one stored call at a time,
-  * With an instant effect like WOUND it will be immediately obvious that you are responsible for what has happened.
-  * With longer term effects like poison it is often possible to completely avoid detection while delivering the effect.
-  * A common use of this ability is to poison a weapon with Ichorwerk, so that the poison can then be delivered by handshake upon meeting the target.

-  * You may transfer a general skill you possess to a party member.
-  * They gain the use of this skill and you lose the benefit.

-  * As long as you have not taken any aggressive or criminal action this encounter you may nominate a chosen foe: you become IMMUNE to any effect they call.
+  * As long as you have not taken any aggressive or criminal action this encounter, you may use this Act to nominate a target:
-  * This effect ends the moment you break your neutrality by participating in the combat in any way.
+  * You may call VOID to any effect or damage delivered by this target.
+  * The effect of Diplomatic Immunity ends the moment you break your neutrality by participating in combat in any way.

-  * This allows you to sell secrets or other expensive goods to gain favour.

-===Evade the Bureaucrat===
-  * Your requests seem to glide past red tape always ending up in front of the most powerful relevant person in short order. You may specify who if you wish.

-  * This may not always be to your benefit.

-  * If either occurs, they will likely find there way back to the paladin, restored, after a couple of encounters.
+  * If either occurs, they will likely find their way back to the paladin, restored, after a couple of encounters.
   * Paladins of the Throne tend to fall into two camps.
   * Some have a symbolic amulet, whilst others lug a literal throne around with them.
-  * In either case, the Icon has a strange effect upon those who touch it giving them an obsession with claiming it as their own.
+  * In either case, the Icon tends to have the strange effect of being very desirable, especially for those with a taste for finer things, or those possessed of a strong ambition.
-  * When traded away or stolen it nevertheless seems to find its way back to the paladin in relatively short order.

+===Evade the Bureaucrat (Downtime)===
+  * You may nominate a single message to be delivered to an important individual who you would not normally have access to.
+  * You may specify who you want the message to go to. Otherwise, it will tend to go to the most important relevant authority (e.g. 'someone who can help defend me in a Telemere court of law').
+  * This tends to happen supernaturally fast.
+  * This may not always be to your benefit: it does not dispose the recipient to regard your request favourably.
+===Might===
+  * Gain 2 Might.
+====Lv3====
+===Embrace===
+  * Once per adventure you may perform a great feat within your Muse's purview.
+  * For example, you could claim that you made some prior preparation which will make your current circumstances easier. It cannot resolve the current encounter but it can change it substantially. Consult a GM.
+  * There are also two standard combat applications of this feat that you may use without GM consultation:

+  * Call a TIME FREEZE.
+  * Your body starts to ossify, covered in gold and inscribed with intricate details.

   * Twice per adventure you may see any location which you are aware of which is either within 5 miles or which you can claim dominion over.

+===Spider===
+  * You make it a point to know //everyone// who is //anyone//.

+===Might===
+  * Gain 2 Might.
+====Lv5====
 ===Echoes of Self===
-  * For one encounter per adventure you gain an almost perfect comprehension of the battlefield.
