[FOCI]
Translation Codex
This is the archetypal Campbellian local hero, rising from humble origins to put things right. Called by a special destiny to fight for good or make change, they are often mentored and trained for battle against the forces of evil. This Focus can even be found outside of high fantasy realms, in any place where destiny calls heroes to epic quests. Science fiction creates such heroes from time to time, so this Focus is found in those recursions as well.
The hero here walks a treacherous path. Heroes are often called upon to make a sacrifice of themselves for their ultimate goals. As tempting as success may be, beware fulfilling your destiny before you translate back home.
You happen to stumble into a better position, or into the person you were looking for.
Your destiny aligns with this action, and its repercussions will affect the rest of your life. Maybe the man you kill is the king's heir. Maybe the object you make becomes an Artifact.
The mark of fate is upon your body and soul. Those wise in the old ways or capable in magic will recognize this and offer you assistance or advice from time to time.
You are trained in tasks related to a profession and possess the tools of that trade.
You find your way back to your party. May be used to "jump" into a combat scene you're missing.
You possess the Mentor long-term benefit, whom you may call upon once per session for advice and equipment.
You acquire a weapon which deals one more damage than normal. It has some remarkable story or property.
Roll your d20 twice on this roll and take the higher result. This ability may only be used once per day.
Once per game session, upon making significant progress towards your destiny, regain all spent pool points. If at some point your destiny is fulfilled, you no longer enjoy this replenishment of pool, but you no longer suffer from Intrusions on rolled 1's.
GM Intrusion: Your fate takes you down a dark path, filled with dangers and temptations.
