FEATURES #

Out-of-Body Experience - Passive: Because the party isn’t physically in this realm, Strength, Agility, and Finesse Rolls automatically fail. Additionally, when a character w ould mark a HP, they must lose a Hope or mark a Stress instead. If a character can’t mark a Stress, they must make a death move.

How does the projection of your mental self-image differ from your physical appearance? Which one do you consider the “real” you?

Mental Manifestations - Passive: With a successful Knowledge Roll, PCs can alter the psychic environment, such as by inverting gravity or conjuring a rapidly self-assembling staircase. A PC can use a mental manifestation once per scene to gain advantage on a roll to navigate the Astral Realm.

Is the construct you manifest a memory from real life or a figment of your own imagination? What key detail do you focus on to make it more stable?

Matter Is Illusion - Passive: Countdown (10) . Time and distance are relative here, and simply moving through the space requires an act of will. To cross the Astral Realm, the party must complete the countdown using only Knowledge, Instinct, or Presence Rolls. On a failure with Fear, a PC takes 3d8 direct magic damage.

Do you think or feel your way through this place? What difference does it make here?

Astral Adversaries - Passive: Adversaries in the Astral Realm are immune to physical damage, as they are psychic projections instead of flesh and blood.

How does an adversary’s astral form differ from their physical form? Why are these psychic projections drawn to the PCs?
