Potence
* Potence 1
Your opponent must bid one extra Physical Trait in any challenge you initiate.
** Potence 2
The Bomb. Boom. You may now use a fourth hand signal in all physical challenges, called
the bomb. It is made by
giving a simple thumbs up sign. The bomb defeats both paper and rock, but it is defeated
by scissors. You must
announce that you have the bomb in order to use it in a challenge. You do not have to
announce it, but if you don't
then you may not use it in that challenge. If you think that it confers no advantage, talk
to Phil, and he'll show you
how it does, using simple mathematical probability.
*** Potence 3
Opponents must bid two additional traits in any Physical Challenge you initiate
**** Potence 4
You may get a single free retest on any Physical Challenge that involves strength, such as
breaking down a door, or
attacking in combat, but not defending in combat. If you use this free retest, you may not
use any other abilities or
powers to retest again. This may be used multiple times in one session, but only once per
challenge.
***** Potence 5
You inflict two levels of damage in physical combat, instead of one. Ouch.
