Player's Handbook · Chapter 6
Powers
The discovery of SLAGGVARA gave rise to the rapid evolution of murder tools. Not to be outdone, the mystic arts and occult powers of the dark places followed quickly, developing War Scrolls. Witchcraft and soul spellworking is now more deadly than any firearm on the battlefield.
Your Powers
Roll Presence +4 at each gray dawn to determine how many Powers you have for that day.
Powers activate various Class specialities or the reading of War Scrolls.
Reading a War Scroll
When reading a scroll, test Presence DR 12 to successfully wield it; else the scroll fails, you lose d2 HP and suffer d2 SHOCK. A Fumble when reading a War Scroll results in an Occultic Accident, destroying the scroll forever.
When you gain a random War Scroll, roll a d20 on the War Scrolls table.
