Special Abilities

As a complicated combat action, you may give your Disposition away to your allies. For each point of Disposition you lose, one other character who can see, hear, or touch you gains 2 points of Disposition. However much Disposition you choose to lose, up to your total current score, you may distribute amongst other characters as you see fit.

When you re-roll your Disposition, any allies who also re-roll their Disposition get advantage. You may decide who is an ally and who is not at any time.

You have mastery over 1 spell per level, plus spells equal to your Charisma modifier. If the total of your level and modifier is less than 1, you have mastery of no spells. When you cast a spell that you have mastered, roll against your Charisma score instead of your Intelligence in order to control it (when casting a spell from a formula you have not mastered, roll against Intelligence as normal).

Spells

• Imbuement
• Detect Magic - Level 1 Divination | Range: Senses | Effect: Caster only | Duration: 1 thing per caster level or 1 turn per caster level

Once you have detected a number of magical things equal to caster level, the spell ends.
