You may distribute 11 points to your attributes upon character creation, but if you do, you start with 1 fewer skill.

You have the power to ward off evils opposed to your faith, be they undead hordes or the powers of other unholy creatures. For each such opponent, you may spend 1 MP to force them to make an opposed spell check using Deft in order to attack or cast spells against you. You cannot cast concentration spells or attack while warding off evil in this way. Moreover, you may make an opposed spell check using Deft to expend MP and dispel the magic of such opponents (per the spell Dispel Magic). To absorb an opponent’s magic, you must spend MP equal to the MP your opponent spent to cast the spell.

Your natural aptitude for reading the emotions of others makes you a master of persuasion. You may make an opposed check to shift your targets' mood a degree in your favor: for 1 MP, you affect a single target; for 2 MP, all targets in a melee space; for 3 MP, all targets in an encounter space. A violent drunk becomes grumpy; a suicidal one, blue. The attribute you use depends on the way in which you shift your target's mood, with the GM's discretion. As long as you have MP, you are immune to any effect, magical or mundane, that would alter your emotional state or reveal your true intentions.
