Editing The Throne War:Abilities (section)

==Prowess==
Prowess is the ability that represents a character’s
dexterity, skill at arms, and strategic thinking. It governs
any situation involving armed combat, leading troops in
battle, and playing games of strategy. It can even apply to
most tasks that require organizational thinking, such as
performing choreography for a dance troupe.

The Importance of Prowess is that it reflects a
character’s combat ability. As in most roleplaying games,
it is assumed that combat is a fairly regular occurrence.
Not only does Prowess measure how good a character
is with a sword, spear, gun, shield, or other kind of
weapon, it also gauges his ability to maneuver a vehicle,
lead a force in battle, and perform general strategic and
organizational tasks. In short, Prowess reflects talent.

Prowess’ Benefits: Prowess helps anticipate
ambushes, lead forces to victory, and master weapons
that are formerly unknown. A moderate class in Prowess
means stopping a large number of mortal assailants,
while a high class can be used to single-handedly fight
off small armies.

===Some Examples===
*'''Ego''': The Elves of the Lord of the Rings movies are a great example of Olympian class Egos. Think about the way Galadriel could carry on simultaneous conversations out loud and in mens' minds with eye contact, or could know a person's history just by locking gazes with them.
*'''Might''': Heracles is the classic example of Might. 'nuff said.
*'''Fortitude''': Most action movie heroes would have a high Fortitude. Their ability to keep pushing on, despite all their injuries and exhaustion, is a perfect example.
*'''Prowess''': Think about how in classic kung fu movies, those who are masters at kung fu also tend to be skilled at everything they do. Prowess tends to work like that.
