WORK SMARTER
●● -- 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.
