Using Faith

You must possess the Pure Faith stunt to use Acts of Faith and you have a number of Blessing equal to your Will plus the number of additional Faith Stunts you take.

To activate an Act of faith you make a Will roll against its activation difficulty or an enemy's resistance roll. The Act always happens, if you do not reach the activation difficulty you must take enough Consequences to allow success, resisted powers that meet the activation difficulty do not require you to take Consequences if they are resisted. You may use an Act for which you don't have a Blessing but you are -2 to the roll.
