Adept

Adept

 * "There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men. We're trying to teach you to be dangerous... Deadly as long as you still have one hand or one foot and are still alive. "


 * - Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein



Cousin to the Mage, Adepts are magically-empowered kung fu warriors. Their inner reservoir of ki helps them keep pace with chromed-out Street Samurais in combat, and they tend to be more resilient to magical attacks.

Ki
An Adept's magic manifests as ki instead of spells. At the start of every scene, an Adept has Ki Points equal to their Presence. Adept's can use their Ki Points to boost a physical action by an immediate +2. They can also exchange Ki Points to activate any Ki Abilities they've learned.

Ki Points recover similarly to HP or WP at the end of a scene.
