These feature can also be used by anybody seeking some ease of play when they are new and you dont have many players.

• The ruku walker has a quantity of hero force charges within heart she can use to power  her Aegis Shield. When she is obligated to make a saving thing throw she chan mak one of these saving throws instead. The number of charges is equal to the ruku dex, con, wis average a 12 grants 1 charge a 14 average grants two and so on down the line
  • STR, and con saves are now replaceable with an Aegis power called Powering Through.When this happens, the ruku takes the number of charges in her hero enginge and adds them to the number adopted up grades When the roll succeeded the effects of what harmed them get completely dismissed. At the cost of one hero, charge of for free for half damage.
    • When using two d6 to determine an outcome, simply regard your profiency as a number equal to your healing charges+ 1/2 your upgrades.
• Outmaneuver: This works with Int and dex abilities like the above ability but requires a soul Blade to work. The soul blade has a bonus to hit and damage factotor equal to the rukus proficiency modifyer -2 to a max of +3  along with any bonuses it inherits from its core operator.
  • When you crit or get a glorious success on this saving through you exhaust one hero charges and sends the entire affect back to its original point by deflecting it.
• Banishment: This ability works with Wis and cha. Instead, it just banishes all harm done to the ruku. And on a critical or glorious success, you can exhaust one hero charge to banish the same variety of harm from other affected party members. However, this cost can be negated a number of times per day equal to the rukus wisdom or charisma bonus if they have a gold mask.
  • Hero charges replenish after a short or long rest.
