Censor

Censor¶

Demons and deathless fear you. Criminals run from the sight of your shadow. Agents of chaos, blasphemers, and heretics tremble at the sound of your voice. You carry the power of the gods, armed with wrath and sent out into the world first to seek, then censor those whose actions—or even existence—are anathema to your church.**

As a censor, you're at your best against the strongest foes. Your judgment terrifies heretics, stops enemies in their tracks, and even hurls them across the battlefield.

"We FIGHT!

Until HELL!

Is EMPTY!"

Sir Vaantikalisax

Basics¶

Starting Characteristics: You start with a Might of 2 and a Presence of 2, and you can choose one of the following arrays for your other characteristic scores:

2, −1, −1
1, 1, −1
1, 0, 0

Weak Potency: Presence − 2

Average Potency: Presence − 1

Strong Potency: Presence

Starting Stamina at 1st Level: 21

Stamina Gained at 2nd and Higher Levels: 9

Skills: Choose any two skills from the interpersonal or lore skill groups (see Skills in Chapter 9: Tests). (Quick Build: Intimidate, Religion.)

1st-Level Features¶

As a 1st-level censor, you gain the following features.

Censor Order¶

Censors are the will of their god made physically manifest, and you act as your god's agent in the world. As you shoulder that responsibility, you choose a censor order from the following options, each of which grants you a skill. (Quick Build: Paragon.)

Exorcist: You specialize in hunting your order's hidden enemies, knowing that an open mind is an unguarded fortress. You have the Read Person skill.
Oracle: Corruption has deep tendrils that can be missed, leading you to specialize in uncovering clandestine threats to your order. You have the Magic skill.
Paragon: Without a strong example and a firm hand, the weak will be corrupted. You specialize in setting an example for your order. You have the Lead skill.

Your censor order is your subclass, and your choice of order determines many of the features you'll gain as you gain new levels.

Deity and Domains¶

Choose a god or saint who your character reveres from Chapter 14: Gods and Religion, or ask your Director about the deities in your campaign world. With the Director's permission, you can also create your own deity and choose four domains to be part of their portfolio.

After choosing your deity, pick one domain from their portfolio. Your choice of domain determines many of the features you'll gain from this class. (Quick Build: Cavall as deity and War as domain.)

Wrath¶

The power you serve grants you a Heroic Resource called wrath, fueling your abilities as you censor those your church deems to be heretics.

Wrath in Combat¶

At the start of a combat encounter or some other stressful situation tracked in combat rounds (as determined by the Director), you gain wrath equal to your Victories. At the start of each of your turns during combat, you gain 2 wrath.

Additionally, the first time each combat round that a creature judged by you (see Judgment below) deals damage to you, you gain 1 wrath. The first time each combat round that you deal damage to a creature judged by you, you gain 1 wrath.

You lose any remaining wrath at the end of the encounter.

Wrath Outside of Combat¶

Though you can't gain wrath outside of combat, you can use your heroic abilities and effects that cost wrath without spending it. Whenever you use an ability or effect outside of combat that costs wrath, you can't use that same ability or effect outside of combat again until you earn 1 or more Victories or finish a respite.

When you use an ability outside of combat that lets you spend unlimited wrath on its effect, you can use it as if you had spent an amount of wrath equal to your Victories. (Such abilities aren't part of the core rules for the censor, but they might appear in future products.)

Judgment¶

You pick out the enemies most worthy of your wrath and place a divine judgment upon them, censoring them with the power of your god. You have the following ability.

Judgment¶

You utter a prayer that outlines your foe in holy energy.

Magic, Ranged	Maneuver
📏 Ranged 10	🎯 One enemy

Effect: The target is judged by you until the end of the encounter, you use this ability again, you willingly end this effect (no action required), or another censor judges the target. Whenever a creature judged by you uses a main action and is within your line of effect, you can use a free triggered action to deal holy damage equal to twice your Presence score to them. When a creature judged by you is reduced to 0 Stamina, you can use a free triggered action to use this ability against a new target. Additionally, you can spend 1 wrath to take one of the following free triggered actions:

When an adjacent creature judged by you starts to shift, you make a melee free strike against them and their speed becomes 0 until the end of the current turn, preventing them from shifting.
When a creature judged by you within 10 squares makes a power roll, you cause them to take a bane on the roll.
When a creature judged by you within 10 squares uses an ability with a potency that targets only one creature, the potency is reduced by 1 for that creature.
If you damage a creature judged by you with a melee ability, the creature is taunted by you until the end of their next turn. You can choose only one free triggered action option at a time, even if multiple options are triggered by the same effect.

Judgment Order Benefit¶

The first time on a turn that you use your Judgment ability to judge a creature, you gain the following benefit based on your order:

Exorcist: You can teleport up to a number of squares equal to twice your Presence score. This movement must take you closer to the judged creature. You do not need line of effect to your destination.
Oracle: You can deal holy damage equal to twice your Presence score to the judged creature.
Paragon: You can vertical pull the judged creature up to a number of squares equal to twice your Presence score.

Kit¶

You can use and gain the benefits of a kit. See Chapter 6: Kits for more information. (Quick Build: Warrior Priest.)

My Life for Yours¶

You channel your will to mend your wounds or the wounds of your allies. You have the following ability.

My Life for Yours¶

You channel some of your vitality into more resilience for you or an ally.

Magic, Ranged	Triggered
📏 Ranged 10	🎯 Self or one ally

Trigger: The target starts their turn or takes damage.

Effect: You spend a Recovery and the target regains Stamina equal to your recovery value.

Spend 1 Wrath: You can end one effect on the target that is ended by a saving throw or that ends at the end of their turn, or a prone target can stand up.

1st-Level Domain Feature¶

You gain a domain feature from your domain, as shown on the 1st-Level Censor Domain Features table. Additionally, you gain a skill from your domain, chosen from the skill group indicated on the table.

1st-Level Censor Domain Features Table¶

Domain	Feature	Skill Group
Creation	Hands of the Maker	Crafting
Death	Grave Speech	Lore
Fate	Oracular Visions	Lore
Knowledge	Blessing of Comprehension	Lore
Life	Revitalizing Ritual	Exploration
Love	Blessing of Compassion	Interpersonal
Nature	Faithful Friend	Exploration
Protection	Protective Circle	Exploration
Storm	Blessing of Fortunate Weather	Exploration
Sun	Inner Light	Lore
Trickery	Inspired Deception	Intrigue
War	Sanctified Weapon	Exploration

Blessing of Compassion¶

You exude a magic presence that can soothe those willing to socially engage with you. You gain an edge on any test made to assist another creature with a test.

Additionally, when you are present at the start of a negotiation, one NPC of your choice has their patience increased by 1 (to a maximum of 5), and the first test made to influence them gains an edge.

Blessing of Comprehension¶

You can interpret diagrams and charts even if you don't understand the language associated with them. You are considered fluent in all languages for the purpose of understanding the project source for any crafting or research project (see Chapter 12: Downtime Projects).

Blessing of Fortunate Weather¶

Each time you finish a respite, you can decide the weather conditions within 100 squares. Until you finish another respite, the weather conditions you establish follow you through any mundane outdoor locations. Choose one of the following types of weather, each of which grants a benefit to you and your allies:

Clear: You and your allies gain an edge on tests that use the Search or Navigate skills.

Foggy: You and your allies gain an edge on tests that use the Hide skill.

Overcast: You and your allies gain an edge on tests that use the Endurance skill.

Precipitation: When the ground is muddy or snowy, you and your allies gain an edge on tests that use the Track skill.

If you are in the same area as a creature using this or a similar feature who has chosen a different weather effect, the features negate each other where their areas overlap.

Faithful Friend¶

You have the following ability.

Faithful Friend¶

An animal spirit is drawn to you, sharing their senses with you and serving you faithfully.

Magic	Main Action
📏 Self	🎯 Self

Effect: You conjure a spirit that takes the form of any animal you have seen. The incorporeal animal has speed 5 and can fly, but can't physically interact with the world. While you are within 10 squares of the spirit, you automatically sense everything that type of animal would sense, in addition to sensing your own surroundings. You can dismiss the spirit at any time (no action required). If the spirit takes any damage, they are dismissed and you take 1d10 psychic damage that can't be reduced in any way.

Grave Speech¶

You have the following ability.

Grave Speech¶

You commune with the lingering soul of the recently dead.

Magic	Maneuver
📏 Melee 1	🎯 One dead creature

Effect: You can speak to the target if they are a creature who has died within the last 24 hours and who can speak a language you know, even if they are just a head. The target regards you as they would have in life, and you might need to make tests to influence them and convince them to speak with you. The trauma of dying can make a creature's memory of that event hazy, but the target otherwise knows all they knew in life. After 1 minute, the effect ends. You can't use this ability on the same creature twice.

Hands of the Maker¶

You have the following ability.

Hands of the Maker¶

You craft objects with the power of your mind.

Magic	Manuever
📏 Self	🎯 Self

Effect: You create a mundane object of size 1S or smaller. You can maintain a number of objects created this way equal to your Presence score. You can destroy an object created this way with a thought, no matter how far you are from it (no action required).

Inner Light¶

Each time you finish a respite, you can choose yourself or one ally who is also finishing a respite to gain the benefit of a divine ritual. You place a ray of morning light into the chosen character's soul, granting them a +1 bonus to saving throws that lasts until you finish another respite.

Inspired Deception¶

The gods favor your thievery with magic. Whenever you make a test that uses a skill you have from the intrigue skill group, you can use Presence on the test instead of another characteristic.

Oracular Visions¶

Your deity rewards you with hazy visions of things to come. Each time you earn 1 or more Victories, you earn an equal number of fate points. Whenever you or a creature within 10 squares makes a test, you can spend 1 fate point to tap into a vision of the outcome, granting that creature an edge on the test. You lose any remaining fate points when you finish a respite.

Protective Circle¶

You can spend 10 uninterrupted minutes to create a protective circle on the ground large enough to hold one size 1 creature. The circle lasts for 24 hours, until you create another, or until you dismiss it (no action required). Only creatures you designate at the time of drawing the circle can enter and exit the area. While in the protective circle, a creature can't be targeted by strikes.

Revitalizing Ritual¶

Each time you finish a respite, you can choose yourself or one ally who is also finishing a respite to gain the benefit of a divine ritual. The chosen character gains a bonus to their recovery value equal to your level that lasts until you finish another respite.

Sanctified Weapon¶

As a respite activity, you can bless a weapon. Any creature who wields the weapon gains a +1 bonus to rolled damage with abilities that use the weapon. This benefit lasts until you finish another respite.

Censor Abilities¶

You use a blend of martial techniques and divine magic to attack your foes and defend your allies.

2nd-Level Order Features¶

Your censor order grants you two features, as shown on the 2nd-Level Order Features table.

2nd-Level Order Features Table¶

Order	Features
Exorcist	Saint's Vigilance, A Sense for Truth
Oracle	It Was Foretold, Judge of Character
Paragon	Lead by Example, Stalwart Icon

It Was Foretold¶

Your order has trained you to understand fragments of the visions granted to you by your deity, giving you a momentary advantage in challenging situations. At the start of an encounter, you can take one main action before any other creature and before your first turn. Additionally, whenever the Director calls for a montage test, you can make one free test before the montage begins, which counts as an earned success or failure as usual.

Judge of Character¶

Your focus on your fragmentary visions grants divine insight into the world and its creatures beyond your usual senses. Whenever you would make an Intuition test, you can make a Presence test instead.

Lead by Example¶

Your devotion to your deity allows you to take command of the battlefield, letting your allies benefit from your wisdom. While you are adjacent to a creature, your allies gain the benefits of flanking against that creature. Additionally, your allies gain an edge on tests made to aid other creatures with their tests.

Saint's Vigilance¶

You have honed your ability to detect sin and can use it to find those who hide from justice. Any creature judged by you can't use the Hide maneuver. Additionally, you gain an edge when searching for hidden creatures. If you find a hidden creature, you can use your Judgment ability against them as a free triggered action.

A Sense for Truth¶

You are trained in secret techniques from your order that allow you to discern the truth with supernatural precision. If a creature is of a lower level than you, you automatically know when they are lying, though you don't necessarily know the actual truth behind their lie. Additionally, you gain an edge on tests made to detect lies or hidden motives.

Stalwart Icon¶

You exhibit a small spark of your deity's power, causing creatures to trust or fear you, depending on what you need. You gain an edge on tests made to intimidate or persuade others.

2nd-Level Order Ability¶

Your censor order grants your choice of one of two heroic abilities.

2nd-Level Exorcist Ability¶

Choose one of the following abilities.

It Is Justice You Fear (5 Wrath)¶

12-16: 12 + M holy damage; P < AVERAGE, frightened (save ends)
17+: 15 + M holy damage; P < STRONG, frightened (save ends)

Effect: If the target is already frightened of you or another creature and this ability would frighten them again, they instead take psychic damage equal to twice your Presence score.

Revelator (5 Wrath)¶

You channel holy energy to harm unbelievers and reveal those hidden from your judgment.

Area, Magic	Maneuver
📏 3 burst	🎯 Each enemy in the area

Effect: Each target takes holy damage equal to twice your Presence score. Additionally, each hidden target is automatically revealed and can't become hidden again until the start of your next turn. You can then use your Judgment ability against one target as a free triggered action.

With My Blessing (5 Wrath)¶

Magic, Ranged	Main action
📏 Ranged 10	🎯 Self or one ally

Effect: The target can use a free triggered action to use a strike signature ability or a strike heroic ability, and has a double edge on that ability. If a heroic ability is chosen, reduce its Heroic Resource cost by 3 (to a minimum cost of 0).

2nd-Level Paragon Ability¶

Choose one of the following abilities.

Blessing of the Faithful (5 Wrath)¶

The gods reward your faith.

Area, Magic	Maneuver

12-16: 9 + P damage; P < AVERAGE, restrained (save ends)
17+: 12 + P damage; P < STRONG, restrained (save ends)

Effect: While the target is restrained this way, your abilities that impose forced movement can still move them.

3rd-Level Features¶

As a 3rd-level censor, you gain the following features.

Look On My Work and Despair¶

Your judgment has grown in divine power, instilling fear in those you condemn. Whenever you use your Judgment ability, you can spend 1 wrath, and if the target has P < AVERAGE, they are frightened of you (save ends). Additionally, whenever a creature judged by you is reduced to 0 Stamina and you use Judgment as a free triggered action, if the new target has P < STRONG, they are frightened of you (save ends).

Impervious Touch¶

As a maneuver, you can touch an object with a size equal to your Presence score or smaller and place a protective spell on it. The object has immunity all to untyped damage. You can maintain this spell on a number of objects equal to your Presence score, and you can end the spell on any object at any time (no action required).

Oracular Warning¶

Each time you finish a respite, you can share the vague dreams of the future granted to you by the gods with allies who finished the respite with you. These premonitions help you and your allies stay alive, granting each of you temporary Stamina equal to 10 + your level that lasts until you finish another respite.

Seance¶

You can commune with a network of spirits. As a respite activity, you speak the name of a creature who died and isn't undead. If the creature's spirit is free and willing to speak with you, they appear and you can have a conversation with them. During this time, the creature responds to you as they would have in life. If the creature isn't free or willing to appear, you can speak another name or choose another respite activity.

At the start of a respite, you can inspire yourself or another creature taking the same respite with divine knowledge. If the target makes a project roll during this respite, they can add 1d10 plus your Presence score to the roll.

As a main action, you touch a living tree and make it part of a divine transportation network. You can maintain a number of trees in your network equal to your Presence score. Whenever you touch any tree in your network, you can use a main action to teleport yourself and any willing creatures within 10 squares of you to a tree in your network on the same world. If a tree in your network dies, it is no longer part of the network. You can remove a tree from your network no matter your distance from it, including across different worlds (no action required).

Templar¶

You are the ultimate representation of your god's justice in the timescape. Whenever you use your Judgment ability, you can use a free triggered action to use a conduit domain effect (see Domain Piety and Effects in the Conduit section) associated with your chosen domain, or a domain you access with virtue (see below). If the effect calls for the use of your Intuition score, you use your Presence score instead. If the effect uses your conduit level, use your censor level instead.

Additionally, whenever you take a respite, you can open a portal to rest in the presence of your deity and bring along any allies. When you do, you can ask your deity three questions, which the Director must

answer honestly if your deity knows the answers (though they might answer cryptically or incompletely). When you finish your respite, you and your allies can appear at any location in the timescape where someone worships your deity.

While you rest in their presence, your god might also give you priority targets to enact justice upon. You and your allies each have a double edge on power rolls made against such targets. If you attempt to open a portal to your deity again before you have defeated your priority targets, you suffer your god's wrath, as determined by the Director.

Virtue¶

You have an epic resource called virtue. Each time you finish a respite, you gain virtue equal to the XP you gain. You can spend virtue on your abilities as if it were wrath.
