●● -- WORK SMARTER

Dice Pool: None
Cost: 1 Divinity
Description: An industrious person knows to seek time-saving innovations wherever possible. By finding just the right balance in the materials, handling the tools in a more efficient way or finding the most advantageous location for the project, this Power allows a Avatar to intuit the most productive way to work. Using Work Smarter allows the Avatar to double the speed with which he performs one type of repetitive manual labor such as stacking sandbags, digging a foxhole or peeling potatoes. This does not grant the user greater strength or the ability to physically move faster, but rather imparts knowledge of the best way to go about the task. This intuition cannot be communicated or shared with others — it would take longer to explain the technique than it would to just do it. This power cannot be used for complicated or unpredictable labors, such as repairing an engine, foraging for food or most anything that requires an Ability roll. Although walking and running may be repetitive physical tasks, this Power cannot be used to accelerate travel; the way to work smarter at covering ground is to get a vehicle.

This power applies to one task and lasts for one scene, at which time the intuition fades or the work conditions are no longer so favorable. The Avatar may spend an additional Divinity to perform a new task more efficiently or to extend the power through a subsequent scene.
