-====Acts====
+====Class Feature: Might=====
-===Death from below===

+  * This call works on unconscious allies, or allies who are bleeding out.
+===Small Unit Tactics===

+  * After an enemy has dropped an ally to 0 hits, you may call QUAD on that enemy.
+  * You may only use this ability once per ally per encounter.
 ===Air of Efficiency===
   * Whilst a group works under your coordination they can achieve great feats that would normally take many times their number.
   * 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.
+  * Once per encounter you may place a marker, this does not expend might. You may then spend one might at any point to teleport back to this marker.
-  * 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.

-  * You give your party expert tactical advice before a battle.
-  * Give a party member a DODGE.
-===All according to plan===
-  * If you know a battle is coming you may give an ally the flanking ability for the encounter.
-  * This ally does not need the relevant survivalist skill.
-===Utility belt===
-  * 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.
-  * You must have been able to afford this item.
-  * The item must have been something which could feasibly have fitted into your pack.
-===Treacherous strike===

+  * If you announce your full name, rank, and affiliation:
+  * Call MASS FEAR 20.
+===Banish the Intransigent foe===
+  * You may call Repel on your next two melee blows.
-===Group on me===
+====Lv5====
-  * By calling GROUP ON ME you give each ally an AGILITY they may only use to regroup on you.
-===Poisoner's glove===
+===Expert Instruction===
+  * Pick a general skill you possess.
+       * For the rest of the encounter a chosen ally also acts as if they have this skill.
+  * 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).
+=====Skills=====
-  * 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.
-===Anoint champion===
+====Lv1====
-  * You may transfer a general skill you possess to a party member.
-  * They gain the use of this skill and you lose the benefit.
-  * They may benefit from the same skill twice in this way.
-  * This skill remains transferred until you retract it or until the adventure ends, whichever is sooner.
-===Diplomatic Immunity===
+===Icon===
-  * In your hands diplomatic immunity becomes a physical shield against harm.
-  * 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.
-  * This effect ends the moment you break your neutrality by participating in the combat in any way.

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

-  * It cannot resolve the current encounter but it can change it substantially.
-===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 tends to happen supernaturally fast - so that in an encounter you can always contact the most powerful relevant person in close proximity.
-  * This may not always be to your benefit.
-===Organisational skill===
-  * You may control an additional resource or treat one you already possess as one rank higher.
-  * This also covers a general talent for organising and getting things done when it is necessary.

-===Vassals===
-  * You are adept at recruiting vassals.
-  * You have a small group of extremely loyal followers who can perform minor tasks for you.
-====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.
+  * You must phrase your enquiry in the form: what does (MUSE) feel about (TOPIC).
+  * Responses usually take the form of complex visions or emotions.
   * 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.
+  * 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.
+  * While in possession of this icon, you are IMMUNE to REPEL.

+===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:

+  * Alternatively, you may use this ability once ever to retire your character.
+  * Call a TIME FREEZE.
+  * Your body starts to ossify, covered in gold and inscribed with intricate details.

+  * Your Muse will be watching what follows.
+===Diplomatic Immunity===
+  * In your hands, diplomatic immunity is made manifest as a supernatural shield.
+  * Once per adventure, as long as you have not taken any aggressive or criminal action this encounter, you may use this skill to invoke DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

   * 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.

+===Might===
+  * Gain 2 Might.

+  * Together we will work out the advantages and drawbacks of this vow.
