BUILDING A CHARACTER
THE POWERS PAGE
To continue building your character you will want to go to the Tab titled Powers. Once on the Powers tab you can continue building your character. Here you will find info for combining Power Components to create Powers, or Power Lists. Some Powers may be composed of several Components, but most will be composed of just one, or have other Components as Alternate Effects which is called an Array. A Power List is typically a list of simple Powers linked in some way, such as a list of a Clan’s Racial Qualities, or the Spells in a Wizard’s spell book.
