Powers
Spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities are all called "powers" and they each have a "tier" instead of a spell level. Your "caster level" is always double the tier (min 1).
| Example: |
| A 1st-level Wizard casting Magic Missile wouldn't shoot 1 magic missile per caster level (max 5) but would instead fire (2 per tier) = 2 missiles. Casters can always learn powers at higher tiers, allowing them to boost these stats. A 3rd-tier Magic Missile for example would fire (3x2) = 6 missiles. |
CONCENTRATION SAVING THROWS
With the exception of casting defensively, you make Constitution (Fortitude) saves instead of normal concentration checks. If the effect is a Confusion, Emotion (including fear), or Mental effect, then you make a Wisdom (Will) saving throw instead of Fortitude. Casting defensively is still 1d20 + level + casting modifier vs. DC10 + double power tier. You get a +3 proficiency bonus to this roll if you are proficient with all the effect types of the power.
ACQUIRING POWERS
It costs 1 XP/tier to purchase a power. Power sources include advanced technology, magic, or superhuman physiology. If you gain a power from your race list, it's always from the power source affiliated with your race. If your race has multiple options for power sources, you must pick one upon character creation. If you have access to multiple power sources, you must select one each time you gain a power.

Using Powers
Lower Tiers: Some effects scale with tier. If you learn a power at a tier greater than its lowest tier, you can always choose to activate it at a lower tier. For example, if you knew Fireball as a tier 4 power but wanted to use it as a tier 1 power you could do so.
Actions: Some powers requires 2 or 3 actions. Two actions means it requires both your action and bonus action to use the effect. 3 actions means the same but it also consumes your movement to use the effect. Those that require a set time such as "10 minutes" or "1 hour" are rituals which can only be performed during down time.
