LIGHTBEARER

Astral Shift

Rank

The Astral Shift talent allows Lightbearers to transfer their entire being from the physical plane to the astral plane, and vice versa. To effect the transfer, the character must first make a successful Astral Shift Test vs. the Spell Defense of the Astral Region the character is in: 6 for Safe, 8 for Open, 12 for Tainted and 18 for Corrupted. Entering or leaving astral space causes 3 points of Strain. Lightbearers may take any other Lightbearer of Oathtaker characters who are touching them into, or out of, astral space with them. Each additional character taken into, or out of, astral space in this manner costs the Lightbearer an additional 3 points of Strain. If sufficient numbers of companions are taken into astral space, a Lightbearer may be Wounded by the Strain.

While in astral space, the maximum distance a Lightbearer can travel is equal to 10 miles times the character's rank in Astral Shift. While in astral space the maximum travelling speed of the Lightbearer (and companions, if present) is 10 miles an hour. If attacked while in astral space, the Lightbearer and all companions may use all the talents and abilities they possess in the physical world. However, all companions must be touching the Lightbearer at all times to remain in the astral plane; if they do not, they are immediately transferred back to physical space and suffer step 20 damage. The body of any Lightbearer or companion who is killed while traveling in astral space is immediately transferred back into the physical plane.
