Accapelia skill tree

Arhou'chs cecet "Shield of Hope"

Level 1: Allies within 4 (charisma) spaces of Accapelia's singing can use her Singing skill attack roll in place of their own defense roll once per turn, chosen before their combat roll is made, but after Accapelia has made hers (on her turn).

Level	Area of Effect	Bonus Song Attack	Defense Penalty	Cost	Total Cost	Song Magic Rank required

Pearlskin

Level 1: Accapelia's psionic resonance makes her more resilient against incoming damage. Improving this skill grants her additional threshold, and increases her raw defense. In addition, if she spends zero dice from her normal pool, she gains an effective extra die that isn't rolled, but counts as if she rolled a certain number. This zero defense die applies even at 6th rank, when she always gains a bonus defense die.

Accapelia loses the benefits of pearlskin while using song magic.

Level	Bonus Threshold	Zero Defense	Defense Increase	Cost	Total Cost
1	Threshold +1	None	None	1sp	1sp

7	Threshold +3	Counts as a 3	+1 Bonus Die	9sp	35sp

Resolve (non-Psi)

No Ranks: Accapelia increases her willpower, allowing her to stand through battle longer. The injury penalty reduction applies when she takes wounds, but does not reduce her actual amount of wounds taken, only being treated as lower for penalties (example; at level 3 resolve, Accapelia can fight with 4 wounds, but her injury penalty is only -3, and she still falls at 5 wounds, even though that penalty is -4). The passive defense increase applies to all defense skills.

Level	Wounds to KO	Special	Cost	Total Cost
1	4	Increase passive defense by +1.	3sp	3sp
2	5	--	3sp	6sp
3	5	Reduces total Injury penalty by 1.	4sp	10sp
4	6	--	5sp	14sp
5	6	Increase passive defense by +1.	6sp	20sp
6	7	--	7sp	27sp
7	7	Reduces total Injury penalty by 2.	8sp	35sp

Suit Acclimation

No Ranks/No Ranks: Accapelia becomes more in-tune with her squire armor, improving its efficiency. The chance to reduce power usage applies both on the active power of the Archiellan Squire and Archiallan Crystals traits, and to her Crystal Dependance. In the case of Crystal dependance, the chance is equal to both her attunement's bonuses combined, and rolled daily; if power isn't consumed that day, the chance is reduced by 1/3rd for the next day, and so on until power is consumed, at which point it resets to its normal chance.

Physical Attunement	Effect	Cost	Total Cost	Mental Attunement	Effect	Cost	Total Cost
level 1	6% chance to not consume power on activation.	3sp	3sp	level 1	6% chance to not consume power on activation.	3sp	3sp

Knight's Move (non-psi, tech)

No Ranks: A combat technique named for its resemblance to a knight's movement in Chess, it increases one's ability to defend oneself against future attacks from the target. Knight's move is made as a fight action made after the first portion of a Split Move, and provides a defense bonus as a shield.

Level	Shield Bonus	Attack Bonus	Cost	Total Cost
0	+1 total	-1 penalty	–	–

Thrust (non-psi, tech)

No Ranks: A combat technique that increases the reach of a melee weapon, at the cost of some accuracy. Thrust is made as a fight action, and reduces defense until the user's next turn.

Wide-swing (non-psi, tech)

No Ranks: A combat technique that strikes two foes at once, attacking twice with only one Fight action. The combat pool is decreased as normal for attacking twice in one turn, though it only applies once, even if wide swing is done twice in one turn. Due to the awkward stance the user is left in, their defense is decreased while using wide swing, and until the start of her next turn.
