The Ley Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Ley Point Buy provides Packs for your Character to become proficient in using or hacking Dragon technology as fueled by the ancient Leyline system. They do this by creating their own Unicore (a sort of drone), a more simplified version of a Dragon's Soulcore (a more advanced drone with a complex personality) that acts as a semi-sentient supercomputer that can access functions of the Leylines and thus call upon Elderlaw, which is reality-enforcing Magic only accessible to Dragons. Ley Point Buy can be invested in by both pro and anti-Dragon/Draconist Characters. Keep in mind, however, that Draconists and Archon consider the Leylines the be under the sole ownership of Dragons. Dragon-aligned Characters may act hostile to your Character if they feel they are impeding on their property, as they often feel they should be the only ones allowed to interact with Leyline machines.
Free Packs
If at least one Proficiency Point is invested in Ley Point Buy, the following Packs are given for free.
Protocol Coding
You have created one or more Unicore drones, capable of independent thought and interacting with the Leylines, either by following the instructions of Draconist-aligned forces or by hacking and stealing the information from the system. A Unicore is about the size of a person's head and can have any metallic configuration, though usually appears like a levitating eye optic. Your Unicore grants you access to the Leylines. Anytime Archon or Dragon-aligned forces should receive information from the Leylines, your Character receives it too. The Unicore can also do simple functions around the house, but cannot engage in Combat and cannot leave your side. You may have your Unicore speak with a personality independent of your Character.
Protocol Detect
Your Unicore connects you to the Leylines and allows you to listen in, but it also listens back to you, and you cannot always decide what is being shared. This is a blessing and a curse, allowing you to detect non-Magic Disguises on other Unicore users. If you encounter a person who has Protocol Detect also, and they are using a non-Magic Disguise, you can see through their Disguise, this also applies to you in return. If you or they use a Magic Disguise, however, the identity remains hidden. Magic inherently always obfuscates the functioning of Dragon Machines.

Protocol Scout
Protocol Scout instructs the Unicore to act as a conduit for further use of your powers on your Allies. It grants the following Ability.
| Name | Type | Range | Cooldown | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protocol Scout | Instant Technique | Emote Range | Cooldown | Up to 5 times per Combat, Target an Ally and apply Protocol Scout. Target Ally is now considered "In Range" of all of your next Ability or Attack Emotes. This Action does not consume Turn. |
Protocol Rewind
If you or your Ally does something detrimental/stupid/ignorant/mistaken during a Divinium Summoning/Demon Duke Summoning/Other kinds of Greater Entity interactions (like Gods, or Arken), the Unicore will automatically detect this, and force a localized time rewind with Elderlaw Magic until before the mistake, and then explain what mistake was made. This Mechanic must be Emoted at the start of any such encounter because DM's will not know your Proficiency spread going into it. This Mechanic can only be used once per Scene/Summoning, even if there are more Unicores present.
Shield Wall Pack
This Pack is for those who wish to create a safe haven for those behind them, creating the perfect front-facing defense.
