EX-RPG: Special Attacks, aka Powers

Here are the special attacks (also known as powers) for the different power sources. Keep in mind that any of these powers that have the "Weapon" keyword associated with them require a weapon to use (you can use your fist in a pinch, but unless you're trained as a monk, it's probably not a good idea). These are just combat manuevers you've learned from training, study, prayer, or meditation; you may learn others on your travels.

All of these powers can be used as a standard action. 1[W] means one damage die, so if your weapon normally deals a d8 of damage, then 1[W] means 1d8, 2[W] means 2d8. If your damage die is 2d6 (say, if you were using a big two-handed maul), then 2[W] would be 4d6 and so forth. All attacks are melee unless a range is given.

IMPORTANT! Keep track of how many times you 'power up' this attack, and which numbered effect you used. It may be important later.
