Charm Keywords

Keywords are used to quickly and easily denote that a Charm is using a special rule, or belongs to a particular category that other effects may interact with. A list of keywords follows:

Aggravated

The Health Track damage inflicted by this Charm cannot be healed magically, nor can magic be used to speed up the natural process of healing it.

Bridge

A Charm with this keyword can be purchased with alternate prerequisites from another Ability. If all the prerequisites used to buy a Bridge Charm enjoy a Caste/Favored cost discount, so does the Bridge Charm. No non-Integrity Charm can act as a prerequisite for more than one Bridge Charm, and Integrity Charms can never serve as an alternate Bridge prerequisite. If Integrity is Caste or Favored, the character may buy in via half the listed number Bridge prerequisites (round up, or round down if Supernal).

Cannot be used simultaneously with or in response to a Charm with the Counterattack keyword.

Counterattack

Cannot be used in reaction to a Charm with the Counterattack or Clash keyword.
