Once per day, the Druid can enter the trunk of a large tree and exit from another tree belonging to the same forest, located at a maximum distance of [WIS Mod.] x 10 km.

Path of Combat

The Warrior can choose to use a 1d12 for a melee attack instead of the usual d20 (he adds his attack score as normal). If such an attack succeeds, he adds +2d6 to the damage. This ability can be used together with Double Attack, Whirlwind Attack, or Perfect Strike, for example.

Path of Healing

Once per day, the Priest can bring back to life a character who has been dead for less than [Priest's WIS Mod.] hours through a 10-minute ritual.

Path of the Weapons Master

In addition to his normal actions, once per turn, when an opponent fails a melee attack against the Warrior, the player gets an additional attack against that opponent.

Path of Destructive Magic

On a magic attack, the Magician can use a d12 for the attack instead of the usual d20. If the attack succeeds, he adds 2d6 to the damage. This ability can only be used with spells that require an attack test and deal damage. If the damage is spread over several turns, only the initial damage is modified.

Path of Runes

The Artificer can bind spells to objects through runic inscriptions, usable three times per day, or bind certain spells to potions at the cost of a day's work and 10 sp per rank of the spell.

Path of the Duelist

When the Rogue scores a critical hit on a melee attack, the attack automatically becomes a Sneak Attack. The effects of the Sneak Attack ability apply in addition to the normal effects of the critical hit.

Path of the Shield

The Warrior can choose to reflect a spell he just absorbed with his Absorb a Spell ability. Instead of being negated, the spell absorbed the previous turn is turned back against its caster: the spellcaster then suffers the effects of their own attack!

Path of the Slayer

Once per combat, the Barbarian spins around, dealing attacks to all targets in melee with him. He automatically deals damage corresponding to the weapon used (plus all usual bonuses) to all targets within a 5 m radius around him.

Path of Elemental Magic

The Magician gets a damage reduction equal to [5 + INT Mod.] for [5 + INT Mod.] turns or until the spell has absorbed 40 points of damage.

Path of the Demon

Once per combat, by sacrificing 1d6 HP, the Necromancer summons a demon to serve him for [5 + INT Mod.] turns.

Path of the Wildcat

This ability can only be used seven times, and no more than once per level. It allows the Druid to ignore his death and be reintroduced into the adventure.

Path of Protective Magic

The Magician stops time for [1d6 + INT Mod.] turns. Only the Magician can act freely during this period, cast spells on himself, move, and move objects, as long as he does not touch a living being or interact with one (by casting a spell on them, for example). In the event of contact (even magical), time instantly resumes its normal course.

Path of the Wind

The Monk can make his body intangible in order to pass through a wall of up to [WIS Mod.] meters thick. He can only remain immaterial for a brief instant and becomes solid again as soon as he emerges from the wall.

Path of Death

The Necromancer must succeed a magic attack test against his target's maximum HP score (range 10 meters). The victim must succeed a CON test of difficulty [10 + INT Mod.] or drop to 0 HP.

Path of Holy War

Once per combat, the Priest can speak a word with the voice of his god. This is beyond mortal understanding, and his enemies within sight are paralyzed with terror for 1 turn while all his allies in sight gain a +5 bonus to attack during this time.
