One sees you being able to talk to classmates, getting to know them better, taking notes and so on. The other is where you come across a crime scene and must look for clues and figure things out. You get various skills that you can make use of to help you. The other main section of the gameplay is the Class Trials and this is where your detective work comes into play. The students will have a heated discussion about who the killer is and you need to pay close attention here.
Nonstop Debate, Hangman's Gambit, Bullet Time Battle and Closing Argument are the ways that the gameplay is split up and it is actually a great deal of fun. Having to pay attention, challenging what people say and then giving out your closing argument as you nail who you think the killer is! It is good stuff indeed and the kind of game that really does have you on the edge of your seat.

The only catch is that his movement must begin and end with solid ground.
Flight Of The Ascendant Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic After a certain level of accomplishment, walking becomes far too prosaic for a certain breed of heroes. They recognize that theyre larger than life, and as such must take large steps. You may increase the distance your character can jump to a maximum of 12 inches. Each inch beyond his normal distance costs 2 Pulse. Flight Of The Ascendant: Improved Type: Demigod Requirements: Demigod, Flight Of The Ascendant Whether through sterling muscle control, daily exercise, or a strident disdain for gravity, your character can travel in great bounds that approach flight.
Doing so is incredibly showy, and a great way to demonstrate ones superiority over lesser foes. Your characters basic jumping distance is increased by 1 inch and he may increase the distance he can jump by any amount. Each inch beyond his normal distance costs 1 Pulse.
Not anymore! Your character can use his faith or unflagging willpower as a battery to power any action. Your character may voluntarily take a level of Fatigue to re-roll any one roll. He chooses which result to use. This may be done as many times as required, until the character is Incapacitated. The newly gained Fatigue is not applied to the re-rolls.
Perhaps he chants sutras, retreats into an alternate personality, or is simply too conceited to be. His exploits have grown to be legends on several worlds, and victory is assured to those who follow his lead without faltering. Your characters leadership radius is increased to 50 inches. He may pay 2 Pulse at any time as a free action to have any bonuses from his leadership Edges apply to allied Wild Cards and Extras until the end of the Round.
Master Leader Type: Leadership Requirements: Legendary, Natural Leader Master leaders know that theyre only as good as the most vulnerable of their troops.
In order to survive contact with the enemy, the character must look out for even the lowliest of his charges. The character can spend a point of Karma to give all allied Extras within his leadership radius a Soak roll, which they can each use when needed that Round. When doing so, treat his strength as if it were a die type lower for determining damage and whether he can effectively wield the weapon. This does not allow a character to wield a two-handed weapon in each hand.
However, it does allow him to use a shield with a two-handed maul, or answer his cell phone while firing an AK Your character may spend 1 Pulse and only 1 Pulse!
Hephaestus is one such god, as is Ptah. Such gods expect their representatives to promote creativity, and to act as protectors for craftsmen. In exchange for devotion, your character is granted a choice from the following supernatural abilities. He picks one on gaining this Edge and a second when he reaches Demigod or two immediately if he takes this Edge once hes already at Demigod rank.
Inspiration: By spending Pulse when making a Repair, Knowledge Craft , or similar roll to create, improve or repair an item even if its mechanical, electronic, or magical in nature , the character can affect the outcome. This affects a single check whether that check takes 3 seconds, 5 minutes, or 3 days. This affects a single check, however long that check takes.
Many do not realize that the death god is not cruel at all he is simply part of the natural order. Such gods expect their representatives to mete out death on their behalf but also to reduce suffering for those who are dying. He picks one on gaining this Edge, and a second when he reaches Demigod or two immediately if he takes this Edge once hes already at Demigod rank.
Ease Pain: As a free action the character lowers Wound penalties for himself, and anyone covered by a Medium Burst Template centered on him, by 1. This costs 1 Pulse and lasts for 3 Rounds. Wound Transfer: As an automatic action the character may transfer Wounds from a willing target within 2 inches of him. He spends 2 Pulse per Wound; the target is immediately healed of those Wounds, which the character immediately suffers. This cannot be soaked or otherwise prevented.
For a number of Rounds equal to half his Spirit, the character may then spend 2 Pulse for every Wound he gained and make an opposed Spirit check against another target within 2 inches. If successful, those Wounds are removed from the character and inflicted on this new target instead. Gaze Of Death: The character looks with his naked eye at a person who is badly injured and that person dies instantly.
Success shakes the target again and counts as a damaging source which will wound even opponents with the Hardy ability or the Tough As Hell Edge. Patron God: Fertility Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic, No other Patron God Edges A god or goddess of life, healing, and fertility has looked favorably upon your character and offered him divine patronage.
Such gods expect their representatives to provide healing, comfort, and medicinal aid on their behalf. Fleshknit: As an automatic action, the character begins to heal his recent Wounds any Wounds inflicted in the last hour.
The first Wound heals after 1 minute, with another Wound healed every minute thereafter. Each Wound healed in this way inflicts a level of Fatigue on the character, and costs 3 Pulse. Faithful Replication: By spending 5 Pulse as an automatic action that deals 1 level of Fatigue to the character, he bleeds onto the ground and on his action next Round a replica of himself springs up where the blood hit the ground.
This replica does not have this Edge, nor any Pulse of its own, though it may use its masters. The copy acknowledges him as its master and will do as he tells it, even to the point of death. This duplicate has a duration of 3 Rounds; alternatively the character may spend an additional 10 Pulse when creating the duplicate to make the duration 5 minutes instead.
When the time limit elapses, the replica collapses, dies, and fades into the ground leaving only a bloodstain. Such gods expect their representatives to be wise and to pursue knowledge for its own sake. Know Weakness: By spending 3 Pulse as an automatic action, the character gains an inherent understanding of the weaknesses of one opponent he can see within 24 inches.
For the next three Rounds extendable by paying 1 Pulse per additional Round whenever he attacks that opponent and gets a Raise, he gains an additional bonus die. Borrow Knowledge: By spending 2 Pulse as an automatic action lasting 3 Rounds the character may touch someone requiring a touch attack for unwilling subjects to become aware of every Edge and Skill that person has.
The character may gain any single Skill the target knows at the same level he knows it for the duration, or until another target is touched using Borrow Knowledge. The duration may be extended by spending 1 Pulse per additional Round.
Divine Understanding: By spending 1 Pulse as an automatic action the character gains the equivalent of Knowledge some broad type d6. For instance, this may be Knowledge World Geography , Knowledge Arts And Crafts , or Knowledge Science rather than Knowledge of a particular town, of a particular craft, or of a particular science. Patron God: Love Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic, No other Patron God Edges A goddess of love they tend to be goddesses rather than gods has looked favorably upon your character, and offered him divine patronage.
Aphrodite, Astarte, Freya, and Ishtar are the best known, though there are many others. Such gods expect their representatives to sow love and lust everywhere, forming and easing relationships and enhancing sexuality.
Silky Voice: By spending 1 Pulse as a free action, everyone within earshot of the character is impressed by him. Heightened Passions: By spending 2 Pulse as an automatic action for 3 Rounds, the character causes one target he touches to become more susceptible to emotional stimulus, giving them -2 to resist Taunt, Intimidation, and Persuasion checks.
This may require a successful touch attack especially in combat! Divine Compassion: By spending 2 Pulse as an automatic action, the character heals a willing target he touches of 1 level of Fatigue - but only if inflicted in the last 5 minutes. Artemis, Ceres, Gaia, and Kupala are all nature deities.
Such gods expect their representatives to help keep nature safe, and to make sure the natural order is maintained and supported. He picks one. This includes exposure to extreme weather, snake venom, jumping out of the way of sudden jets of lava, etc. Plant Manipulation: By spending 2 Pulse as an automatic action, the character takes control of one non-sentient plant yes, in some realms there are sentient ones.
Each effect takes 1 Round to happen. This control lasts 3 Rounds, which may be extended at a cost of 1 Pulse per additional Round, then the plant returns to its original state. Animal Speech: By spending 1 Pulse as an automatic action, the character can talk to and understand animals.
The conversation may be a little limited in the case of earthworms, but dogs and eagles tend to have more to say for themselves. This effect lasts 5 minutes. This might be Coyote or Susano-o or Loki, among others. Such gods expect their representatives to shake people up, confuse them, and make them question their lot in life, introducing change and creativity to their world.
Aura Of Truth: By spending 1 Pulse as a free action, there is a -2 penalty to the next check to spot the character lying, whether that check uses natural or supernatural means. This affects a single check, however long that check takes, but if nobody has announced such a check within 5 minutes, the Aura Of Truth ends. False Positive: By spending 2 Pulse and succeeding at an opposed Spirit check, the character can make one target within 2 inches become obsessed by something that isnt true, as per the Hindrance Delusion major.
The target absolutely believes in some lie, and that lie becomes the most important thing to him. For example, a guard who falsely thinks there are intruders in his town will obsess on patrolling and catching them above all else. This effect lasts 1 minute but it can be extended by spending a further 2 Pulse per minute.
Prestioculation: By spending 1 Pulse as an automatic action, the character creates a static illusion in a small area, like making a book seem to have a different title or a drink appear to be a different liquid. People seeing the illusion may attempt a Notice check at -2 to see through the illusion. Patron God: Unknown Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic, No other Patron God Edges A mysterious god or goddess has looked favorably upon your character and gives him divine patronage secretly, behind the scenes.
Your character knows very little about this enigmatic figure, apart from the benefits that are being bestowed on him.
Is it a benign or malevolent force in the universe? Only time will tell. In exchange for devotion, your character is granted two supernatural abilities of his choice from those offered by other patron gods in his realm, or those can be used as guidelines for the creation of new abilities. The first ability is bestowed upon taking this Edge, while the second is activated at Demigod both are active immediately if the character takes this Edge at Demigod rank.
These powers give a hint of the gods hidden nature. While this flexibility sounds great, your character suspects that his shadowy patron has big plans for him. While other patrons see characters as their messengers and representatives in the mortal realms, discussing plans with them openly and with trust, there is some reason this character is different.
This is a terrific roleplaying opportunity for the GM, a chance to weave the character into the heart of the epic that shes developing. There are bound to be some twists and turns along the way, and a shocking revelation or two before the dust settles.
Such gods expect their representatives to take part in battles on their behalf, ensuring that the gods preferred side wins. Thor, Zeus, Horus, and Quetzalcoatl are among the best known weather gods. Such gods expect their representatives to alter the weather as necessary to ensure a desired outcome, whether that means aiding a side in battle or helping crops grow or flooding a disloyal village.
Deluge: By spending Pulse as a free action, the character can as long as hes outside start a torrential downpour of rain within 12 inches of him. The downpour covers an area the size of a Large Burst Template. Movement within the area is considered difficult and ranged attacks passing through the area suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls. This costs 2 Pulse and lasts 3 Rounds, extendable by paying 1 Pulse per additional Round.
Static discharge: By spending 3 Pulse as an automatic action, the character can unleash a blast of electric force from the atmosphere on a target within 12 inches. This deals 2d10 Damage or knocks out a single electronic system for 1 minute. This effect drains the area within 12 inches of the character of any static charge, and it takes 24 hours to build up enough to be used again in that location. Purify: By spending Pulse as an automatic action, the character can remove harmful impurities including poisons and radioactivity from natural substances including air, earth, and water.
A 1 inch square can be affected for each Pulse spent a 2m cube of material, if youre being all rules lawyery about it. They have learned to find weak spots in their opponents defenses. Furthermore, he can pay 2 Pulse to make his attacks for the Round count as Heavy Weapons. This increase lasts until the end of Round.
This is effective against one attack, but he may spend as much Pulse as he likes in order to boost the armor rating, and may spend Pulse on multiple attacks that Round.
For example, a person hit by a machine gun takes three serious hits. After discovering how many Wounds each would inflict he may spend Pulse to gain Armor against one, two or all three of the shots each point of Pulse buys two points of Armor against one of the hits. Perfected Races A Perfected character has the benefit of being from a part of the gene pool that has been altered by the use of Pulse, making it particularly adept at one type of activity. Perfected characters are born to Perfected parents, and such bloodlines tend to be massively proud of their racial heritage.
That said, theres nothing stopping a Perfected character from taking a racial type Edge as well its rare but not unheard of, and heroes are well known for being rule breakers. Such a case might cause social problems when the Pure Strain Human son comes home from his hiking trip to the mountains as a Pure Strain Dwarf the roleplay possibilities are intriguing for sure.
You can see the Pure Strain Human Edge at the top of the next page. A character may only take a Perfected Edge at character creation never later in his career , and may only have one Perfected Edge. Perfected Edges cost double a normal Edge. A human taking one could use his free Edge from being human toward the cost of the Edge but would still need another 2 Hindrance points to finish paying for it. Optionally you may choose to build your character with one less Attribute point than normal 4 for most or 2 if youve taken the Young Hindrance to pay for half a Perfected Edge.
Other times it turns knives aside and deflects bullets. This is one of those other times. After damage has been calculated but before making a Soak roll, your character may pay 1 Pulse to add 1 point of Armor across his whole body. This is effective against one attack and he may spend as much Pulse as he likes in order to boost the Armor rating.
He may do this against a single damage result per Round. After discovering how many Wounds each would inflict he may spend Pulse to gain Armor against one of the shots each point of Pulse buys a point of Armor. Resonance Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic Your characters Pulse is such a roiling tempest of activity that its just bubbling to get out. His spirit world representation looks like a chained thundercloud. When the fury is unleashed, every ready source of Pulse nearby sings in harmony.
The effect is quite forceful. As an action costing 1 Pulse, your character may place a Medium Burst Template up to Spirit inches away from him. He makes an opposed Spirit check against the Strength of each creature under the template.
If he defeats any targets they are moved 1 inch away from the center of the template and 1 more for each Raise. Anyone moved in this way must make. No damage is inflicted by the burst, but its a way of making enemies fall off ledges for instance. Getting slammed into solid objects makes the target s Shaken.
In moments of strong emotion, the energy flares and dances visibly around him. Activating the resonance is no longer a song, but a penetrating howl. As an action costing 1 Pulse your character may place a Large Burst Template up to Spirit x2 inches away from him. If he defeats any targets they are moved 2 inches away from the center of the template for a success and 1 more for each Raise. Anyone moved in this way must make an Agility check or be knocked prone by this burst of Pulse resonance.
Sidekick Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic, Beastmaster or Companion Your companion or animal companions fate becomes intertwined with that of your character the companion becomes a Wild Card. Rare are the moments when he is not by his masters side, and most people have trouble conceiving of one without the other.
Your character can also share his Heroic and Demigod-related benefits bonuses to Soak rolls, recovery from Shaken checks, etc. He may pay 1 Pulse to repeat an action in a combat Round. For example, your character can make two Shooting rolls or two Intimidation checks.
This may only be done once per Round, and the multi-action penalty still applies. Surge Type: Weird Requirements: Heroic The blast doors are closing, the villain is escaping, the ground is crumbling beneath you. Just a little faster.
Your muscles shriek, something surges within you. Your character may increase his Pace by any amount for one Round. Each inch of movement beyond normal costs 1 Pulse. The coruscating artifact is so close to the portal, but so far. Time slows, the faces of your companions begin to blue-shift as you rush past them. Youre in the zone. Your character may increase his Pace by any amount for two Rounds by spending Pulse.
Each point of Pulse spent adds two inches of movement to your characters Pace. By the same token, heroes of the mind are able to reason their way through any problem beneath a specific threshold. When so much is at stake, bad days are a luxury heroes cant afford. In the case of checks with multiple Trait dice such as when using the Frenzy Edge , the bonus applies to only one result, but Pulse may be spent to add a bonus on each result independently.
This Edge may be taken more than once, but it may never be applied to the same Trait twice. Additionally, when he rolls a fumble on this Trait, he may pay 5 Pulse to turn it into a failure with an effective result of 0 which he can then spend more Pulse to increase as above.
Pulse Paths The source of magical power, whatever it may be, exists somewhere in the universe. Some claim it is hidden in the deepest cloud of the Maelstrom, among the crumbling bodies of petrified gods. Others have reams of evidence proving the primal source prospers in a backwater realm where it is shared among a coven of fierce guardians. Whichever truth is the most popular in a given era, it is generally agreed that four rivers emerge from the source: divine magic, spirit magic, the power of sigils, and the unadulterated magic of spells.
Each realm or culture has found different ways to harness and focus these four primal streams to create a profusion of schools, traditions, disciplines, and circles and some realms have discovered other ways to harness Pulse which arent easily classified in these categories but thats a teaser to future books!
Each of the four branches of magic has a seed Edge that must be taken if a character wishes to use magic. They are: Empowered, Enabled, Gifted and Sighted. These Edges allow the character the ability to work one type of magic, grant him two powers selected from the appropriate list, and a d4 in the relevant Skill for using those powers. The seed Edges can theoretically be found in any realm in the Suzerain Continuum but that doesnt confirm their legality, ease of use, or popularity.
Rough-edged, hobo-scrawled wards of protection on the walls of a train car are as much the work of scriveners as techno-magical pyramids coursing with the rerouted Pulse of an entire planet. Selection of a single seed Edge is enough to call your character a mage, shaman, or what-have-you. Its also enough to get pretty good at it.
You can always pick up more spells and increase the related Skill. While the trappings of the spells may change from realm to realm, or even from one caster to the next, these are the basics. If your character concept is leaning toward being archetypal or you dont want magic to be the entire focus, this is the way to go. However, if you want something with a more realm-specific flavor, there are further options. Those hobo scrawls from two paragraphs up werent just a throwaway example.
Theyre part of the Noir Knights book, our take on the Great Depression with. A more immediately relevant example is anatomism, used by specially trained body-wizards who are prevalent in the Relic setting.
For further information on them, check out page Fitting your character with one of those Edges represents specialist training, granting greater focus to their power.
The specialist Edge works exactly like the seed Edge, giving the character a d4 in the new specialtys requisite Skill and two Powers from the new list. Your character can gain additional Powers on the list by taking the Extra Power Edge, as usual. Selecting a realm-specific Pulse Path has more prerequisites than being a generalist, but also offers greater rewards for those who develop them to the highest levels.
While there is no universal rule forbidding a character from branching into several different schools, the end benefits will not be as great. On the other hand, you could have yourself the shamanic equivalent of a polyglot, able to commune with the spirit of absolutely anything at a basic level. Generalization versus specialization its an age-old dilemma. Basic Terms And Edges Heres the lingo youll want to know if youre planning on exploring the Powers available to heroes and villains in the Suzerain Continuum.
Mystical powers used by empowered characters. Usually priests, but not always. Mystical powers used by sighted characters. Rituals get spirits to perform a supernatural task for a shaman. Mystical powers used by enabled characters. There are plenty of flavors of scrivener, writing mystical symbols. Mystical powers used by gifted characters. This is your classic wizardry.
The character does not need any formal connection to the divinity or its earthly organization,. Certain deities will have rules that their empowered must follow, but most dont feel its necessary except among their cloistered elite. Multi-Prayer: A divinely empowered character may recite one prayer multiple times in a single action. For example he may recite Boost Trait on three targets instead of one. Each additional target gets a separate Faith die as with Bolt or rate-of-fire weapons , but the whole action gets only one Wild Die as normal.
The full Pulse cost of the prayer must be paid for each instance. Each additional instance of the prayer increases the difficulty of reciting it and incurs a -1 penalty on the check. For example, a priest reciting Boost Fighting on 4 party members would roll 4 Faith dice and one Wild Die. He would only need to pay upkeep on the instances that succeeded.
Depending on the realm, the required change may take the form of cybernetic implants, ritual anointing of the hands, or 20 years of sequestered monastery training. Mental changes mirror the scriveners physical transformation; his mind is either warped or strengthened to allow for the terrible strain that the shape of magic brings to flesh and spirit. On taking this Edge your character gains: Scribe Agi d4.
Transference: Scriveners can inscribe a sigil they know onto an object or person, then give someone else access to its power or leave the sigil open for anyone to use. Transferring a sigils power this way costs 1 Pulse per rank of the sigil. Pulse spent in this way does not recover as normal.
However, other people may now use the power. The Trait check required to use a transferred power defaults to Spirit, but a more logical choice may present itself in certain instances. For example, Shooting makes sense for a Bolt spell transferred to a wand. The scrivener can break his link to the sigil at any time. The invested Pulse then replenishes as normal.
Theyve acquired their control over magic through strict mental discipline and often invest years of research in the art of casting spells. As such, their view of magic tends to be an extension of the users strength of will. Most people with the gift for spellcasting see their connection to the Pulse source as the purest form of magic, as it exists without the intermediary actions of other beings or objects no gods or spirits are needed, and no bodily enhancement either.
Its not something to get too vain about, though. The gift strikes at random, with some people discovering a talent for wizardry despite living a life of drudgery for decades. Flood The Channels: Gifted casters can make their spells harder to resist by paying more Pulse.
Each point of Pulse spent in this way gives the target s -1 on opposed checks and Soak rolls against the power.
