Ansenii

Ansenii, God of War

Ansenii and his aspects are most often worshipped by warriors and other men who make fighting a regular part of their profession. Ansenii seeks perfection in combat out of all his followers. To refuse a fight for cowardly reasons (retreat with good reason is okay!) is a great affront to him. He also frowns on using non-physical means to resolve combat; few wizards will be followers of Ansenii unless they like to get their hands dirty.

I. Item : Ansenii holds metallic ore sacred. When a Level I power is used, the appropriate amount of ore turns into quicksilver and coats the affected subject matter.

*Modifiers [1-4] - Ansenii grants plusses or minuses to any combat-related rolls for the priest only. The maximum amount of additions or subtractions in one round is 4.

Normal Skills [3,4] - He will temporarily grant combat related skills to the priest. Three items will grant a skill of 10 + the priests's level, and 4 give a skill of 12 + level. The skill lasts for 1 minute per 3 or 4 items spent.

Normal Advantages [1/5pts] - Ansenii can give his priests advantages that will help them in combat. They must sacrifice 1 item for every 5 points the advantage costs, to a limit of 25 points. If a Level II priest uses this skill with fatigue, his limit is raised to 50 points.

II. Fatigue : The priest's body ripples with quicksilver.

Temporary Super Advantages [1/5pts]

*Peek [2]

*Redo [2+extra] - Ansenii will allow the priest to count any attack or defense roll that was just failed to be counted as an exact success instead. To have the roll succeed by a certain amount, he must spend more points. Every additional point used raises the success of the roll by 2. So spending 5 points to redo an eye shot would have the roll succeed by 6.

IV. Attributes : For the highest powers granted by the gods, priests must sacrifice some of their own life energy. Upon using one of these powers the priest chooses an attribute and it immediately drops the required number of points. Any skills based on that attribute also drop. Attributes may be regained as normal, but always cost double the initial character point value. For priests of Ansenii, the sky flickers quicksilver and a peal of thunder splits the air.

*Divine Intervention [2]

*Mythos [1] - The priest of Ansenii can gain total control of combat for 10 rounds of his choosing. He has the equivalent of an All-Out Attack and All-Out Defense and all attack and defense rolls are treated as critical successes. He may save some of his 10 rounds for later, but they must all be used within a year's time.

Sacred Item [2]

Servant [2] - For 2 attribute points the priest can summon a Weapon Dervish. The dervish is actually made up of the weapon the priest chooses and forms from thin air in 10 minutes. The weapons that comprise the dervish whirl through the air in a constantly shifting pattern. It can throw the weapons that make up its form and they will reappear the next round.

Major Dervish : ST 22, DX 18, IQ 12, HT 20/35; PD 6 DR 8

- Throw weapon (2) up to 60 hexes

- The dervish can engulf an opponent with its whirling weapons. The opponent automatically takes normal damage plus 2d each round. The dervish cannot attack or defend while engulfing.

- The dervish may also engulf its master; it will not harm the priest but any opponent that engages in melee with him will take damage as above.

- The priest may summon the dervish to him by spending 2 fatigue.

- The dervish regenerates 2 HT per day.

- If the dervish is ever killed, the priest is mentally and physically stunned.
