== Introduction ==
''Epikrátisi'' s a Greek word meaning
“excellence,” a quality highly valued
among the Greek Gods. In fact,
showing off one’s surpassing skill or total
command of a field of study is a recurring
theme throughout many legends about them. Granted,
most of those legends involve some pompous mortal
claiming to be the best there is at what she does and
an offended God’s reaction to that claim not being very
pretty. Nonetheless, the Greek Gods and the society that
venerated them held the concept of excellence in such
high regard that it became a ''Dominion'' specific to them.

This ''Dominion'' doesn’t bestow specific ''powers'',
exactly, as much as it magnifies one’s talents to divine
proportions. When an Avatar takes an ''Epikrátisi'', he assigns
to it one of his Abilities. (That Ability must be rated
at three dots or higher first.) Thereafter, whenever that
Avatar’s player rolls a dice pool that includes that chosen
Ability, the pool receives a number of bonus dice based
on the number of dots he has of ''Epikrátisi''. Alternatively, the
Avatar may sacrifice two of those bonus dice (provided
he has at least two available) in exchange for a potential
re-roll in case his first roll fails. If the roll on which he
sacrificed two bonus dice doesn’t have the good sense to
fail, however, the player doesn’t get to roll those bonus
dice after the fact. Nor does he get to re-roll a successful
roll in hopes of scoring even more successes.

A character may have an ''Epikrátisi'' in any Ability (or
as many Abilities as) he wants, but he must purchase
the dots for each Ability’s ''Epikrátisi'' separately. The dots-to-
bonus-dice exchange is as follows:
