●●●●●●●●● -- INNOVATE

Dice Pool: Intelligence + Crafts
Cost: 10 Divinity + 1 Willpower (or 10 Divinity + 1 Willpower dot)
Description: The character with this Power is so innovative that there is virtually no device which he cannot improve, no matter how advanced or time-tested the original design. With a little tinkering, the God might shave firing pins to speed a gun’s attack, mix in the right fuel additives to boost a vehicle’s speed or improve the slope of a tank’s armor to make it even tougher. By concentrating on an item for one action, each two successes rolled (rounded up) allows the player to add a +1 bonus to one of that item’s traits such as damage, accuracy, health levels, armor or maneuverability. No item may receive more than a total bonus of +5 for all traits combined, which means a vehicle could gain +3 armor and +2 health levels, but not +5 to each. Bonuses may also be divided between identical items. Each item beyond the first requires a separate action and costs 5 additional Divinity. The God must not be interrupted while using Innovate, so if he performs another action or even defends himself against attack then none of the items receive a bonus.

If the player spends one Willpower point and ten Divinity points when he activates this Power, the effects of Innovate last for a single scene. If the God sacrifices a permanent Willpower dot for each item modified, the effects are permanent.
