Free Action
Cost: 2 Resolve
Requirement: You must be Invisible

Unseen Trickster IV

The Unseen Trickster XXX


Prerequisites

  • Eldritch Rank 8
  • Cost: 2 Destiny Points

Features

♦ Subtle Scapegoat
Whenever you use Subtle Casting to cast a power with a range of 30ft or more, you can choose a creature within 30ft to be the perceived origin point of your spell (you are still the actual origin point of the spell). If you succeed an opposed check (Deception vs Intuition) you can convince any onlookers that the chosen creature was the being that cast the spell. The chosen creature automatically knows that it did not cast the spell (unless it is an NPC and the GM decides otherwise).
♦ Unbodied
You master the Eldritch Spell Out of Phase. If you already have mastered this spell, then you may master a different Rank 8 Eldritch spell in its place. Once per extended rest, while you are invisible, you may use Out of Phase without paying any initial costs (Karma and Resolve). You must still pay for any upkeep costs.
♦ Synesthesic Invisibility III
When you use Synesthesic Invisibility, the additional sense you choose may be one of the following: Dragonsense.
♦ Masked Magic
All magical powers used by you automatically have their magical auras masked (DC 30).
♦ Ultimate Invisibility
Your invisibility can potentially evade powers like True Seeing that automatically discern invisible creatures. These powers must make an opposed potency check to overcome your invisibility. The potency of your invisibility (whatever the source) is considered to be 2 higher than normal for this check.
