\nThe character has innate abilities that don’t fit into the usual tropes of magic, miracles, or psionics. Their powers may be low-level super powers, divine gifts, or even alien abilities, and are often very unusual or unique for their setting
\nLe personnage dispose de capacités innées ne correspondant pas aux tropes habituels de la magie, des miracles ou des psioniques. Il peut s’agir de super-pouvoirs de bas niveau, de dons divins ou même de talents extraterrestres. Ils sont souvent inhabituels ou uniques dans leur univers.
\nMagicians range from powerful wizards to vile cultists. They draw on raw supernatural energy to fuel their eldritch fires. This energy infuses the worlds in which they live, and is drawn forth with gestures, words of power, or ancient runes.
Les magiciens vont des puissants sorciers jusqu’aux vils sectateurs. Ils puisent dans l’énergie surnaturelle brute pour alimenter leurs feux anciens. Ce flux imprègne les mondes dans lesquels ils vivent et est canalisé par des gestes, des mots de puissance ou d’anciennes runes.
Those who invoke miracles draw their power from a divine presence of some sort, including gods, nature, or spirits. Their powers are usually invoked with a few words of prayer or by performing established rituals.
\nThose who cast miracles are champions of their particular religions. They typically have @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hindrances]{Hindrances} that pertain to their service, such as @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-hindrances.Vow]{Vow} or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-hindrances.Obligation]{Obligation}. They might also have @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Connections]{Connections} to others of their religion who can help them out when their divine energies wane
Ceux qui invoquent les miracles tirent leur puissance d’une présence supérieure comme les dieux, la nature ou les esprits. Leurs pouvoirs sont généralement invoqués par quelques mots de prière ou par des rituels bien établis.
\nLes faiseurs de miracles sont les champions de leurs croyances. Ils ont généralement des @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hindrances]{Handicaps} en rapport avec leur sacerdoce, comme @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-hindrances.Vow]{Serment} ou @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-hindrances.Obligation]{Obligation}. Ils peuvent aussi avoir pour @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Connections]{Contacts} d’autres personnes de leur religion pouvant les aider quand leur énergie divine vient à manquer.
Psionicists tap into their own mental energy to manipulate matter, read minds, and far more. Some are agents in the employ of a vast government agency, while others are often on the run from them! Some may have years of training or they might have developed their incredible powers in isolation
\n\n
Les psioniques puisent dans leur propre énergie mentale pour manipuler la matière, lire les esprits, et bien d’autres choses. Certains sont employés par de grandes agences gouvernementales alors que d’autres cherchent souvent à leur échapper ! Certains ont des années d’entraînement alors que d’autres ont développé leurs incroyables pouvoirs de façon isolée.
\n\n
Weird scientists use strange and powerful inventions beyond the normal technological level of the setting. Such creations might be possible due to super fuels, alien discoveries, or the raw intellect of rare super-geniuses who push the boundaries of science.
A weird scientist’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trappings]{Trappings} must always include the item they’re associated with. The @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Burst]{burst} power might manifest through a magical flamethrower in Deadlands: Weird West , for instance, while “Dr. Gabriel’s Wondrous Restorative Elixir!” is a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Healing]{healing} potion.
Weird scientists must have their devices at hand to activate their powers (but see Jury Rig, below).
Other characters can’t activate the inventor’s creations. They might not understand the strange mechanisms required to make it work, the device might not be “calibrated” or portioned for other users, or it might just “fritz out” for anyone but the creator. While this may seem a bit strange narratively, the “magic”—and the Power Points—come from the inventor so he must be the one to activate it.
Creating devices for others is possible—it just requires an Arcane Device and the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Artificer]{Artificer} Edge .
\nThe inventor can use his devices on others, of course, including administering drinks from his magical elixirs or giving them injections of some miraculous super serum he’s created. If Dr. Gabriel administers his elixir, for example, he rolls to activate the power normally. If he gives someone the bottle to use later, they’ll find it’s lost its potency.
Jury Rig: Weird scientists must usually activate their powers through their assigned device, but they can improvise other ways if needed at a -2 penalty. This requires a decent rationale relative to the setting and the GM’s permission.
\n\n
Gabe is captured by evil aliens and all his equipment is taken. He’s placed in a holding cell and decides he’ll use the overhead lights and whatever the aliens use for electricity to create a makeshift @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Blast]{blast}. The GM agrees this will work, but only once since it will destroy the lights and short out the cell’s energy in the process.
Les scientifiques étranges utilisent des inventions singulières et plus puissantes que le niveau technologique normal de l’univers. De telles créations peuvent devenir possibles grâce à des super-carburants, à des découvertes extraterrestres ou à la pure intelligence de rares super-génies repoussant les limites de la science.
Un @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trappings]{Aspect}(voir p. 150) de Science étrange doit toujours inclure l’appareil auquel il est associé. Par exemple, le pouvoir @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Burst]{rafale} pourrait se manifester à travers un lance-flammes magique dans Deadlands: Weird West , tandis que « le Fabuleux Élixir Revitalisant du Dr Gabriel »!” serait une potion @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Healing]{Guérison} .
L’appareil doit être tenu en main afin d’activer ses pouvoirs de Science étrange (sauf Bricolage de fortune, voir p. 149).
OLes autres personnages ne peuvent pas activer une création de l’inventeur. Ils n’en comprennent pas les étranges mécanismes nécessaires à son fonctionnement, l’appareil n’est pas calibré pour d’autres utilisateurs ou il est simplement hors tension pour n’importe qui sauf son créateur. Bien que cela puisse sembler un peu étrange du point de vue narratif, la « magie » — et les PP — viennent de l’inventeur et c’est donc à lui d’activer son appareil.
Créer des appareils pour autrui est possible avec un Objet arcanique (voir p. 153) et l’Atout @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Artificer]{Artificier} (voir p. 46).
\nBien sûr, l’inventeur peut utiliser ses appareils sur autrui. Cela inclut l’ingestion de potion à base d’élixir magique ou l’injection de quelque super-sérum miraculeux de sa création. Si le Dr Gabriel administre son élixir, par exemple, il teste normalement l’activation du pouvoir. S'il donne la bouteille à quelqu’un pour un usage futur, il s’avérera qu’elle aura perdu ses propriétés actives.
Bricolage de fortune: les inventeurs doivent normalement activer leurs pouvoirs en utilisant l’appareil associé. Si nécessaire, ils peuvent improviser d’autres moyens avec un malus de -2, une justification en accord avec l’univers et l’autorisation du MJ.

Le meneur donne son accord après qu’il ait détruit les lumières et la source d’alimentation de la cellule.
Magic and the supernatural hold little sway with this individual. Whether by nature, heritage, or training he’s particularly resistant to magic, psionics, weird science, and other supernatural energies.
\nArcane skills targeting the hero suffer a -2 penalty (even if cast by allies!) and magical damage is reduced by 2 as well.
La magie et le surnaturel n’ont que peu de prises sur le personnage. Que ce soit inné, par héritage ou suite à entraînement, il résiste à la magie, aux pouvoirs psioniques, à la science étrange, etc.
\nUn jet d’Arcanes ciblant le personnage subit un malus de -2 (même lancé par un allié !) et les dégâts magiques sont également réduits de 2.
This individual was born into privilege or came into it later in life. She may or may not have money (the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Rich]{Rich} or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Filthy Rich]{Filthy Rich} Edge), but she still walks in the elite social circles of the setting.

\nCe personnage est de haute naissance ou a atteint une position privilégiée au cours de sa vie.

Il bénéficie également d’un bonus de +2 sur les jets de @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Common Knowledge]{ Culture générale} concernant l’étiquette, la généalogie et l’héraldique des familles nobles, ainsi que pour se rappeler des rumeurs concernant les gens de cette caste.
\nThose who tangle with supernatural forces sometimes find ways to imbue powers into items. They may turn an ordinary blade into a magic sword, grant powerful potions to their friends, or even bless holy relics with divine grace.
Artificers can create @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Devices]{Arcane Devices} and give them to their allies.
Ceux qui jouent avec les énergies surnaturelles découvrent parfois un moyen d’insuffler ces dernières dans des objets. Ils sont capables de rendre une lame magique, de créer des potions aptes à soigner des blessures ou même de bénir une relique avec la grâce des dieux.
Un artificier peut créer des objets merveilleux en utilisant le système d’@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Devices]{Objets arcaniques} (voir p. 153) et les confier à ses alliés..
Assassins are trained killers who know how to kill even the toughest foes. They add +2 to damage rolls when their foe is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Distracted and Vulnerable]{Vulnerable} or they have @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.The Drop]{The Drop}
\nLes assassins sont entraînés à tuer avec une précision mortelle et sont capables de se défaire des cibles les plus résistantes.

\nIt’s no secret people are more willing to help those they find physically attractive. Your character adds +1 to @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Performance]{Performance} and @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} rolls if the target is attracted to his general type (gender, sex, species, etc.).

\nSome individuals have an extraordinary bond with their animal companions. These characters may spend their own @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bennies]{Bennies} for any animals under their control, including mounts, pets, familiars, and so on.
\n\n
Certaines personnes développent des liens extraordinaires avec leur animal de compagnie. Le personnage peut dépenser ses propres @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bennies]{Jetons} pour tout animal qu’il contrôle incluant les chiens, montures, familiers, etc.
\n\n
Animals take to your hero quickly and easily. They won’t attack him unless he attacks them first or they’re enraged for some reason.
\nThe Beast Master’s “animal magnetism” is so great he’s attracted a loyal animal of some sort as well. This is typically an animal of @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size} 0 or smaller, subject to the GM’s approval.
\nThe beast is an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Extra} and doesn’t @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Advancement]{Advance} in Rank or abilities. If a pet is dismissed or killed, the hero gains a replacement in [[/r 1d4]] days.
\nMore Powerful Companions: Beast Master may be taken more than once. Choose one of the effects below each time it’s chosen:
\nLes animaux aiment le héros et ne l’attaquent pas, à moins qu’il ne les agresse ou qu’ils ne soient enragés pour une quelconque raison.
\nIl dispose d’un tel magnétisme animal qu’une bête loyale s’est attachée à lui. C’est en général un animal de @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Taille} 0 ou plus petit, avec l’accord du MJ.
\nLa créature est un @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Extra}, elle ne @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Advancement]{Progresse} pas en Rang et n’obtient pas de nouvelles capacités.

\nCompagnons plus puissants: cet Atout peut être choisi plusieurs fois. Choisissez un des effets suivants à chaque fois:
\nBerserkers become wild and nearly uncontrollable when the “red rage” takes them, but
they are deadly killing machines as well!
Immediately after suffering a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Wound or a Shaken} result (from physical damage only), your hero must make a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Smarts} roll or go Berserk. She can voluntarily fail this check if she likes.
Going Berserk has the following effects:
\nAfter five consecutive rounds of berserk fury, the hero takes a level of @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Fatigue]{Fatigue}. At ten rounds, she takes another level of Fatigue and the rage ends. She may also choose to end her rage at any time by making a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Smarts} -2 roll (as a free action; possibly avoiding Fatigue if she manages to end her rage before it’s incurred!). Start the count anew if she goes berserk again, even in the same battle.

This allows her to activate any @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Powers]{Pouvoir} normally available to Weird Scientists of her @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Advancement]{Rank} or lower in her particular setting, with a Power Point cost of 3 or lower.
\nThe total cost of an individual power (plus any modifiers) cannot exceed the points spent to create it, nor can the inventor apply @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trappings]{Limitations} to the gadget. She may attempt to create multiple devices as long as she has the points to do so.
\nEach gadget is created and activated with a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Weird Science]{Weird Science}} roll at –2. This takes one entire turn, during which she can do nothing else (she cannot take @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Multi-Actions]{Multi-Actions} that turn). In all other ways, it works as the normal activation of a power.
\nThe inventor uses Power Points directly from her pool for the device, but once its initial @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Powers]{Duration} is finished (it cannot be maintained) it falls apart into its component pieces.
\nGabe is an inventor in the Weird West. He wants to use @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Boost/Lower Trait]{boost Trait} to help Red fight a giant rattlesnake, but only has the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Burst]{burst} and @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Blast]{blast} powers. Fortunately, he’s a Gadgeteer, so Gabe can put boost Trait into an “electrical bio-inducer.” The device can take up to three points worth of powers, so he adds the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hinder or Hurry (+1)]{Hurry} modifier and gives Red +2 @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Movement]{Pace} as well
\nThe bigger they are, the harder they are to kill. At least for most. Your hero knows how to find the weak points in the most massive of foes.
\nHe adds +1d6 damage when attacking creatures who are three or more Sizes larger than himself (see @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size}). A human (Size 0) gets the bonus against a creature of Size 3 or greater.

\nFailure means the device isn’t ready. A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Critical Failure} means he doesn’t have the right materials and can’t create the device this encounter.

\nThe commander has a natural grasp of small unit tactics and can take advantage of rapidly changing situations.
\nA Tactician is dealt an extra @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Action Cards (Initiative)]{Action Card} each round of combat or a chase—kept separate from his own cards. At the start of the round, he may discard it or give it to any one allied @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Extra} in @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Command Range}. The player or GM controlling the receiving character can decide whether to accept and replace her current Action Card, or discard it.

\nThieves specialize in deceit, treachery, and acrobatics. They can be invaluable where traps must be detected, walls must be climbed, and locks must be picked.
\nThieves know how to use protrusions on walls and window ledges to climb the tallest of buildings, scampering through streets and back alleys like cats. They add +1 to @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} rolls made to climb in urban areas.
\nThieves also know how to use the dark areas between the streetlights of cities to conceal their movements, and add +1 to @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Stealth]{Stealth} rolls when in an urban environment.
\nFinally, these rogues are—not surprisingly— adept at @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Thievery]{Thievery} itself, adding +1 to those rolls in all circumstances.

The hero can take up to five @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Wounds} before she’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Incapacitated}! Her maximum Wound penalty is still −3.

\nThe hero knows one unique weapon (Excalibur, Old Betsy, Sting) like the back of his hand.

\nA fighter can take this Edge multiple times, applying it to a different weapon each time. If a Trademark Weapon is lost, he can replace it but the benefits don’t kick in for a few days (however long the GM feels is dramatically appropriate).

\nIf a character makes a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Fighting]{Fighting} attack withone action and another from a different hand in a later action, the second attack doesn’t inflict a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Multi-Actions]{Multi-Action} penalty.

\nTwo-Gun Kid works just like @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Two-Fisted]{Two-Fisted}, but with ranged weapons, allowing her to fire or throw a weapon in each hand as two different actions but without triggering a@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Multi-Actions]{Multi-Action} penalty.

\nMagic is varied and wonderful, and wizards are exposed to countless tomes, scrolls, and incantations as they master their craft. Sometimes they use this knowledge to recall variations of their various enchantments.
\nA Wizard can spend 1 extra @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Backgrounds]{Power Point} when casting a power to change its @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trappings]{Trapping}. A fireball (@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Blast]{blast}) might manifest as a lightning bolt, for example. This can often have important consequences if a foe has a particular resistance or weakness to the spell’s usual Trapping
