Potency

Potency is how much damage an action will apply before mitigation is calculated. There are two primary forms of Potency, Raw Potency and Focal Potency. Many Actions have bonuses and interactions with Raw Potency and Focal Potency.


Raw Potency

Raw Potency is the base amount of additive damage and sometimes applies as a bonus or determination for Actions. Variables and Raw Potency are summed up prior to adding in additional potencies before multiplying by Focal Potency.

Raw Potency at base is Zero/0.

Determining Base Raw Potency

Agility: At 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 Agility, gain +1 Raw Potency. (Raw Potency = Agili2y/2 Rounded Up)

Strength: At 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 Strength you gain a +1 Base Adjustment to Raw Potency. (Strength/3)


Focal Potency

Focal Potency is the damage multiplier processed as the final stage of determining an Action’s Potency after all Variable and Additive values have been calculated.

Focal Potency at base is One/1.

Determining Focal Potency

Accuracy: Each point of Accuracy increases Focal Potency by 0.1

Awareness: Each point of Awareness increases Focal Potency by 0.1
