Will weavers start the game with ARC 3.
gAiNiNg FAtigue poiNts
A will weaver can gain fatigue points to:
• Upkeep a Spell – A will weaver gains 1 fatigue point for
each spell he upkeeps during each Control Phase.
• Cast a Spell – When a will weaver casts a spell, he gains a
number of fatigue points equal to the COST of the spell.
• Boost a Magic Attack or Magic Damage Roll – Each time
a will weaver boosts a magic attack or magic damage roll,
he gains 1 fatigue point. Boosting must be declared before
rolling any dice for the roll. Remember, a single roll can
be boosted only once, but a will weaver can boost as many
different rolls as he can afford.
• Increase the Range of a Spell – A will weaver can gain 1
fatigue point to increase the RNG of a spell by thirty feet
(5˝). Each spell cast can have its RNG extended only once as
a result of gaining fatigue. Spells with a RNG of CTRL or SP
cannot be affected in this way.
removiNg FAtigue poiNts
Will weavers remove a number of fatigue points equal to their
ARC each Maintenance Phase.
FAtigue rolls ANd exhAustioN
If his fatigue points exceed his ARC, a will weaver must make
a fatigue roll immediately after resolving each spell he casts. To
make a fatigue roll, roll 2d6. If the total is equal to or over the
number of fatigue points the will weaver currently has, nothing
happens. If the total is less than the number of fatigue points
the character has, he becomes exhausted.
When a character becomes exhausted his turn immediately
ends and he cannot cast spells during the next round.

Any character can spend a feat point to use one of the following
feats:
• Boost Non-Attack Skill Roll – A character can spend a feat
point to boost a non-attack skill roll. A character can use
this feat only to boost a skill roll if he has at least one level
of the skill used for the roll.
• Heroic Dodge – A character can spend a feat point to suffer
only half the damage from an attack, rounded up. The feat
point is spent after the damage roll has been made.
• Make a Quick Action – A character can spend a feat point
during his Activation Phase to make an additional quick
action.
• Parry – A character can spend a feat point during his turn
to keep from being targeted by free strikes that turn.
• Relentless Charge – A character can spend a feat point
during a turn in which he charges. While charging that
turn the character can move over rough terrain without
penalty.
• Reroll Failed Attack, Skill, or Willpower Roll – A character
can spend a feat point to reroll a failed attack, skill, or
Willpower roll. A character can continue to reroll the same
failed roll as long as he has feat points to spend.
• Run and Gun – When a character makes a full advance
during his turn, he can spend a feat point to move up to 2x
his SPD in inches instead of his SPD as normal.
• Shake Continuous Effect – A character can spend a feat
point at the start of his turn to shake a continuous effect.
When the character shakes the continuous effect, it
immediately expires.
• Shake Knockdown – A character can spend a feat point
to shake knockdown at the start of his turn. When the
character shakes knockdown he immediately stands up.
• Shake Stationary – If a character is stationary, he can spend
a feat point at the start of his turn to cause the stationary
status to expire.
• Sprint – A character can spend a feat point during a turn
in which he incapacitated or destroyed one or more enemy
characters with a melee attack. At the end of the character’s
turn, he can make a full advance.
• Two-Fister – A character with a weapon in each hand can
spend a feat point during his turn to attack once with the
weapon in each of his hands without an attack roll penalty
as if he had the Two-Weapon Fighting ability (p. 168) and
the Ambidextrous Skilled archetype ability (p. 117).
• Walk it Off – A character can spend a feat point during
his turn to immediately regain d3+1 vitality points. If a
character suffers damage during his turn, the damage
must be resolved before a character can use this feat. An
incapacitated character cannot use Walk it Off.

Форност провёл большую часть жизни в племени в горах, обучаясь у шамана сложному искусству управления холодом. Жизнь тогда казалась довольно простой, хотя не всегда хватало пищи для всех. Однажды искажённые до неузнаваемости слуги Эверблайта напали на племя и истребили большую часть жителей, многих взялии в плен, а остатки не выжили без крова над головой или не пожелали бросать свой дом. Так или иначе Форност остался один и решил попытать счастья в хадорских землях. В городе, до которого юному ниссу удалось пройти на свои крохи пищи к нему отнеслись с презрением, и это презрение только усилилось тем, что бродяга не знал местного наречия. Помереть бы Форносту в канаве, но на счастье один бандит заметил эльфа и пригласил к себе в банду, разглядев в том потенциал. После недолгого объяснения жестами был заключён договор: Форност помогает банде без убийств, а взамен Иван обучит его хадорскому и будет платить процентом от награбленного. Оба сдержали своё слово, нисс призывал бури, чтобы укрывать бандитов от вражеского огня и взора и замораживал тех противников, что казались Ивану наиболее опасными. Конечно, хотя бандиты не оставляли свидетелей, по крайней мере тех, что заметили бы колдуна, Форносту не нравился нечестный образ жизни, который он ведёт, потому он решил сменить род деятельности. Не сказать, что Ивану это сильно понравилось, но когда он читал оставленную ему записку юный нисс был уже далеко от тех мест. Не умея заниматься умственным трудом, не проработав ни дня на заводах, у Форноста буквально не осталось выбора кроме как стать наёмником, благо все одарённые магическими способностями были достаточно востребованы среди этой профессии.
