Throttle Fabulist: Stunts

Stunts (abilities) are actions that offer possible higher rolls or special effects to your actions, both in and out of battle. Using a stunt is like rolling the connected stat, while adding some more skill.

Points & Ranks;

It costs 5 Stunt Points in-order to create a new stunt. After being created, all stunts start at Rank E. It costs 2 Stunt Points in-order to rank one up. Stunts unlock new capabilities at Ranks C and A. A character can not suddenly gain a new power by creating a new stunt, new powers are obtained through in-game events exclusively. Power-Stunts related to an already gained power, can be created however.

Manifesting & Challenging;

There are two forms of using a stunt; Manifesting and Challenging it. Manifesting is something solely used for power stunts. A character must manifest their power before they can use it, it costs an Action in order to manifest it, however doesn't cost any Shin.Pool. Whatever you roll, x2 is how many turns you can use your power for before having to manifest it again. When rolling manifest, you only roll the 'base' power, not any of the additional powers. Once you have successfully manifested your power, you may roll the challenge in order to use it in combat. Outside of combat it takes no actions and no Shin.Pool as it's typically a situational RP question on rather or not you can use a stunt.

Classes;

There are five classes of Stunts; Base Power, Super, Signature, Finisher, and Last Fight Base Power stunts are power only stunts which allow a user to basically use their powers, with any complicated uses requiring a 'Super' Power Stunt. 'Base' powers cost 3 Shin.pool, and 3 Actions to challenge. Super stunts are special stunts that allow for special effects, events, or bonuses in and out of combat. Super stunts cost 5 Shin.pool/Stamina, and 5 Actions to challenge Signature stunts are unique stunts that when used, give fame to your character, they're overly flashy spectacle that look cooler than anything.  Finishers cost 8 Shin.Pool/Stamina, 5 Actions to challenge, and 8 Momentum to challenge. Finisher stunts are, exactly as the name implies, stunts that immediately finish off a target, completely knocking them unconscious. Finishers cost 8 Shin.Pool/Stamina, 5 Actions to challenge, and 10 Momentum to challenge. Last Fight stunts are situational stunts that are only usable when the fight is entirely out of the user's favor. Last Fight stunts cost 5 Shin.pool/Stamina, 5 Actions, and -8 Momentum to challenge
