The Shaman Point buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Shaman Point Buy provides Packs for a Character to become proficient in a Faith-based defensive style of combat, using holy incantations, rituals and the powers of the Gods to strike back at enemies who harm allies. Shaman Point Buy thrives when outnumbered, but is generally not good on duelists.
Shaman Point Buy Rules
- In order to Point Buy any Packs from Shaman Point Buy, the Character must be a devout worshipper of any Religion.
- Shaman Point Buy derives its power from the Gods, so it is considered God Magic, and not Planar Magic.
- Shaman Point Buy can, however, be treated as Planar Magic, for religions that favor Planar Magic, or for Characters who can't/won't mix God & Planar Magic.
- The above rule is "all or nothing" meaning Shaman Point Buy Packs must be All God Magic, or All Planar Magic.
- Shaman Point Buy should generally have aesthetics of nature/earth, berserkers, and works best with the aesthetics of the following Religions: Fornoss and Pagan Faiths.
Stance Ability
The Shaman Stance Ability is required for all Shaman Point Buy Abilities. This Ability cannot be point bought, but is included for free as long as at least one Shaman Point Buy Pack has been purchased. This Ability does not do much besides enable further Shaman Abilities, while adding some baseline buffs. As a general ground rule. Stances cannot be Countered, Prevented, Cancelled, or interrupted in any way.
