\n\n

Le 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.

\n
" }, { "id": "Arcane Background (Magic)", "name": "Arcane (Magie)", "description":"LdB page 148", "description_full": "
\n\n

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.

\n
" }, { "id": "Arcane Background (Miracles)", "name": "Arcane (Miracles)", "description":"LdB page 148", "description_full": "
\n\n

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.

\n

Les 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.

\n
" }, { "id": "Arcane Background (Psionics)", "name": "Arcane (Psionique)", "description":"LdB page 148", "description_full": "
\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
" }, { "id": "Arcane Background (Weird Science)", "name": "Arcane (Science Étrange)", "description":"LdB page 148", "description_full": "
\n\n

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.

\n

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} .

\n

L’appareil doit être tenu en main afin d’activer ses pouvoirs de Science étrange (sauf Bricolage de fortune, voir p. 149).

\n

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.

\n

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).

\n

Bien 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.

\n

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.

\n

 

\n

Exemple

\n

: Gabe est capturé par de vils aliens et tout son équipement est confisqué. Il est confiné dans une cellule et décide qu’il va utiliser les lampes du plafonnier et ce qui y tient lieu d’électricité afin d’improviser une @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Blast]{explosion}. Le meneur donne son accord après qu’il ait détruit les lumières et la source d’alimentation de la cellule.

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.

\n

Some mechanical gurus can build incredible devices out of most anything.

\n

A Gadgeteer can spend up to three @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Backgrounds]{Points de Pouvoir} to “jury rig” a device from any reasonable collection of spare parts. 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.

\n

The 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.

\n

Each 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.

\n

The 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.

\n

A McGyver can improvise a device from common resources when the need arises. Given a few simple items, he can make a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Repair]{Repair} roll to craft improvised weapons, explosives, or tools, that last until used or the end of the encounter (GM’s call). This takes one entire turn, and he can’t move or take any other actions while constructing the device.

\n

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

\n

Success creates a minor explosive (2d4 explosive in a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Small Blast Template}), a one shot projectile weapon like a “zip gun” (@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Range]{Portée} 5/10/20, Damage 2d6), rickety raft, electrical source, etc.

\n

A raise creates a larger explosive (2d6 in a Medium Blast Template or 2d4 in a Large), a better ranged weapon (five shots, 2d8 damage, Range 10/20/40), a more stable raft, a more powerful battery, etc.

The warrior increases his @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Characters]{Parade} by +1 and the bonus damage die for @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Fighting]{Attaque} rolls is a d8 instead of a d6 (see @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Dealing Damage]{Bonus Damage}). He must be armed to gain these benefits, but this includes the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Martial Artist]{Martial Artist} Edge, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Special Ability (Claws)]{claws}, or other abilities that count as weapons.

\n

Magic 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.

\n

A Wizard can spend 1 extra @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Backgrounds]{PP} 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

Woodsmen are rangers, scouts, and hunters who are more at home in the wilderness than in urban areas. They are skilled trackers and scouts, and know how to live off the land for months at a time.

\n

Woodsmen add +2 to @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Survival]{Survival} rolls, and @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Stealth]{Stealth} rolls made in the wild (not towns, ruins, or underground).

Your hero’s words don’t just inspire those they’re directed at—they often inspire others as well. Once per turn, you can use Work the Room to roll an additional skill die when @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Support]{Supporting} with @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Performance]{Performance}. The additional die Supports any other ally who can see or hear your hero, and applies to their next action, whatever it may be.
