Breakthroughs

You may have up to 8 Mystic Eyes instead of the regular 2.

You have the blood of angels in you. You may purchase the Angelblooded class.

You lose your extra arms racial ability. In exchange, you become Large size and your max burden is increased by 2. When attempting to move through 5ft wide spaces, it is considered difficult terrain for you and many humanoid buildings will struggle to accommodate you. You also suffer a -10 penalty to swimming checks, but you may climb through your spider climb ability at your normal speed instead of half speed.

In addition, you count as mounted for the purposes of abilities that require you to be mounted. This does not let you be a mount to other creatures.

The RP cost of Consume Fire is reduced to 0.

The RP cost of Absorb Ice is reduced to 0 the first time you use it per round. Cost is reset back to 0 when it becomes your turn

The RP cost of Consume Lightning is reduced to 0 the first time you use it per round. Cost is reset back to 0 when it becomes your turn. Any Power bonus you gain from using Consume Lightning does not stack.

The RP cost of Consume Wind is reduced to 0 the first time you use it per round. Cost is reset back to 0 when it becomes your turn

You disguise your appearance using magic to be that of another race (and gain a +30 bonus to hide this magical effect from things such as sense magic). This skill does not allow you to change your appearance at will, but instead lets you appear as you would as a different race.  You choose this race when this breakthrough is picked up and cannot change it.

In addition, the first time you use Slime Body while disguised in this way, it costs 0 RP instead of 1 RP but reveals your actual race.  This effect does not work if the attacker knows that you are a Slimefolk.

You may disguise as a different race in addition to your chosen race during Blend In. You may take this breakthrough multiple times, selecting a new race to disguise as each time.

After using Divine Providence you may use it a second time before resting, but the cost increases to 1 RP. This second use must pick a different option then your first one.

You gain a +5 bonus to intimidation skill checks against targets with less Fitness than you.

Your elemental mastery from your Ryujin's Mastery may be Holy or Dark as well. In addition, you can use Flight.

You may use abilities like normal while in Dog Form and may use One-Handed weapon. Any abilities that require a specific armor or other specific physical requirements still cannot be used.

Your Dog Form no longer breaks upon taking damage.

You may use abilities like normal while in cat form and may use One-Handed weapon. Any abilities that require a specific armor or other specific physical requirements still cannot be used.

Your cat form no longer breaks on damage.

You rise as a vampire, an immortal creature that feeds on the blood of living creatures and immediately gain the Vampire racial style class and its key ability. Your race changes to ‘Vampire’, but you keep the benefits of your previous race.

As a vampire, you no longer age and your physical appearance changes slightly. Your skin becomes more pale and you grow a pair of fangs. You still need to eat, drink and breathe as normal.

A vampire’s spirit core is cracked, making it difficult for it to regenerate mana naturally and requiring it to obtain it from other creatures. You no longer regenerate mana from eating (including potions), resting and can no longer use the Draw Mana encounter conclusion action. You still recover full mana at the start of a new arc. 

You are weak to sunlight. Every round you spend in sunlight without proper protection you take 10 true damage and your maximum HP is lowered by 10. Your maximum HP remains lowered until you finish a rest. You may carry a parasol or similar object in one hand to protect yourself from the sun and can do so even in combat.

In addition to these drawbacks, you no longer receive Wounds unless the damage that reduced your HP to 0 was fire, holy or true damage. You also gain 60ft Darkvision. Darkvision lets you see in total darkness, even if there's no source of light.

You may command your mount to move and attack even if you're not mounted on it. This still using AP, Mana etc like normal as if you were mounted.

The first time you would die from a mortal wound at Encounter Conclusion, the mortal wound is removed and you instead receive a normal injury. The benefit of this breakthrough is then lost and you may not choose this breakthrough again after.

Once per rest, you may roll an additional dice when making a check and take the higher result.

Once per arc, you may choose to automatically succeed on a check (if success is possible).

You select one of the divines from the below list to worship. Once chosen, you can only change this decision with GM approval after a significant enough change.

Any abilities with the Divine keyword deal your chosen divine's damage instead of their listed type. 

Kari: (Type Holy) goddess of Light, the most prominent deity in the setting, almost all religious people follow Kari and it's the only serious religion with any support outside of Kirara. 

Heira: (Type Astra) goddess of Evil, mostly followed by cultists. 

Pandora: (Type Arcane) goddess of Magic (Arcane). There are a few broken-down shrines to her, not widely followed, but a few followers. 

Makai: (Type Water) goddess of the Ocean. Mostly followed in Houkaina and Kirara, moreso in Houkaina. Main temple is in Houkaina (in Northi), followed by Merfolk. 

Ayuzi Kirara: (Type Fire) goddess of Artisans. The most popular Divine in Kirara. 

Eisen: (Type Slashing) god of War. Mostly followed by goblins and orcs in Eisenstadt. Mostly seen as ceremonial and "old ways," not taken as seriously in Eisenstadt. 

Athena: (Type Lightning) goddess of Wind. Mostly followed by citizens of the area around Marlone Bay. A goddess with a quiet disposition. Mostly the "old ways," a sailor might make a gesture to Athena before setting out while not fully being a follower. 

Clio: (Type Arcane) goddess of Storytelling. Not officially followed anywhere, or even known about. Clio draws power from all of the stories forged through life, both true and fictional. 

Yggdrasil: (Type Earth) the world itself. Mostly followed by Fae in Easter. "Nature," "Terra itself" are Yggdrasil. "The will of the world/nature." Not actually a "sentient" force, but a force that creates balance and opposes destruction of natural order. Yggdrasil's strength is that it has four "superpaladins" (thaumaturges) that are bound to the world and cannot be permanently killed. The thaumaturges do not work together, and may not even be aware of each other, and may not even be aware of their mission.

When you have a target under the effect of "Just a hug", you can still move at half of your normal movement speed while under the Just a hug root effect and you still count as rooted for all other purposes.

When moving, you can drag along the target of Just a hug, but they still count as rooted at your new location.

In addition, your grapple power increases by +1.

Whether through magical or non-magical means, you have more than a single personality or entity within you through either physical or magical means. When under the influence of a Charm, Illusion or other mind-influencing effect you may spend 1 AP to switch personalities/entities and act as normal.

You may only do this once per encounter.

You are treated as having 1 class mastered for the purposes of selecting a tier 2 class that has “Any class mastered” or similar requirement. This does not apply to any class that requires a specific class to be mastered and it doesn't automatically qualify you for other requirements such as weapon proficiencies. 

You gain Elemental Mastery in an element of your choice.

You may pick this breakthrough more than once, choosing a different element each time.

You may let your Dragon Breath do the damage of any element that you have mastered.

You have become used to the effects of drinking elixirs, too used in fact. At the end of your turn in combat, if you do not have an Elixir active you take 6 true damage. The HP cost of drinking all elixirs is reduced by 11.

This breakthrough may be removed during an interlude phase by spending 1 IP.

When you summon during the first or second round of an encounter, you may transfer main stat points from yourself into your summon.

The maximum stat points you can imbue for all your summons combined is equal to your total main stat points (Focus, Power, Agility, Toughness) - 18. You can not lower a stat below 3 with this. When you lose stat points due to this, your related values such as mana, HP and RP have their max reduced. When lowering your agility or toughness, you also lose RP or HP equal to the respective stat lost. If your  Mana is higher than your max Mana after imbuing, it is reduced to the new max.

This transfer stays until end of encounter or until the summon you invested in dies (or is otherwise removed from combat). Your max of your stats is returned to normal, but any HP or Mana lost due to this is not refunded.

You may imbue a Heroic summon with any amount of stats from this pool. These points don't need to be a direct transfer (for example, you can lower your Agility by 2 to buff your summons Power). They increase your summons values such as HP/RP etc by the regular amount these stats give.

For grunt summons, you may imbue them with half of this max. They are still capped at max 1 RP.

While using Fae Flash, you may teleport a partial distance and materialize there to redirect your teleport. In a single Fae Step, you may teleport multiple times, reappearing each time you stop, to teleport from that new position. You are still limited by your maximum teleport distance and cannot take any other actions between each teleport.

When using your Faerie Flash ability, you may spend X additional mana to increase your teleport distance by X times your movement speed.

An extremely rare condition in which a Chimera parent and a Faerie parent produces a child with Chimera traits. The odds are said to be less than 1%.

If your main race is Chimera, you may choose a Fae subrace instead of a Chimera one. If your main race is Fae, you may choose a Chimera subrace instead of a Fae one. 

You do not get any of the base traits from the other race and keep the ones from your chosen main race. However, you do get the language from the other race (or a dialect of choosing a chimera subrace)

If you pick High Fae as your subrace, you gain Fae Flash instead of Fae Flash II.

Once per arc you may eat food and gain the benefits even if you already had gotten the benefits from eating food that day.

Your base movement speed increases by 5ft.

Whenever you are afflicted by a Fear type condition, you may spend 1 RP or 0 AP to remove it.

When using Fight or Flight, you no longer receive the drawback.

When using Consume Enemy, you may consider that your food for the day and regain mana equal to a normal ration. You cannot gain this benefit if you already regained mana from food that day and using this benefit prevents you from regaining mana from food until you’ve rested.

When using Fading Counter, you may move up to your movement speed instead of 5ft. This movement has Flight and still does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

When spending at least 3 AP of movement, your base movement speed is increased to 40ft instead of 25.

You gain proficiency with Greatshields.

You gain proficiency with Heavy Armor.

When occupying the same space as a conscious ally that's at least a size bigger than you, you may choose to become untargetable to single target attacks. The ally must be willing to take the hits for you, though they may react to these attacks as normal. While occupying the same space as a conscious ally, any effect that triggers upon not being targeted by an enemy (such as Challenge) will not be triggered. Does not work against Attacks of Opportunity.

While most unions of Human and Chimera parents result in the offspring being fully of Human or fully of Chimera, there are rare instances in which the Chimera traits are still present in a human offspring.

Choose one Chimera Subrace and gain all of its features. You do not gain any of the Chimera base traits and instead have the Human ones, including Divine Providence. You do not get the 100 extra exp that humans normally get or human adaptability.

When activating your divine release you may choose to reduce your max HP by 22. When you do, you do not pay any additional HP cost to activate it and the HP Upkeep is reduced to 0 while above 0 HP.

When you fall below 0 HP, you pay the increased Upkeep cost as normal.

After you use Spiritual Sync, you may cancel the effect for 0 RP at any time. If you do, you regain mana like it is described in the ability or 8 HP for each temporary mana you still had remaining.

In addition, the maximum mana or HP you can spend on Spiritual Sync is doubled.

You may reduce the Burden cost of a single kit in your inventory by 2.

When asleep, you may roll Perception rolls as if you were awake to be aware of danger approaching.

The effect of your Mark of Justice changes to the following:

“You mark a single enemy, inflicting the Mark of Conflict on them. If an enemy moves away from you and not towards another ally, they take Full Pierce physical damage equal to your Power for each 20ft of movement they spent moving away from you.”

When using the Summon Animal ability, you may instead choose to summon slimes. You roll randomly from the following slimes: Slime, Fire Slime, Earth Slime, Water Slime, Wind Slime or Mana Slime.

Even if you have the Wildheart class, you still cannot choose which slime you summon except you may choose to summon the regular Slime.
