Act Now

Trigger Action

Trigger: Somebody finished their action. If you have yet to take your first action this round, you can spend three shots (in addition to 1 shot to trigger) to take your first action right now. If more than one character takes this action they act in order of current highest shot. This schtick can only be used once per round.

Athlete

Inherent

You are a physical paragon and well beyond the norm of your people, which shows in your appearance and mannerisms. Your Reflexes can be up to two points higher than the normal racial maximum.

Super Reflexes

Inherent

You can freely exceed the normal Reflexes limit based on your race. This schtick is considered a Power even tough it lacks a Form. To take it, you have to have a Tradition, and if the Methods of your tradition or a Power Loss Limitation makes you lose your powers, your attribute is reduced to the normal maximum value until your powers return. Note that this is mainly a problem for Folk - other creatures do not have ability maximums.

Quicker than the Eye

Inherent

If your Reflexes are higher than your opponent's, you can use this to gain a +3 bonus to any skill used as a defense value. As normal, you do this after you know whether the opponent's action succeed.
