Galactic Magic
Classes
Through some cosmic event, you have come to understand the ebb and flow of time to a degree that only a select few can. You manipulate time dexterously—accelerating, slowing, or even reshaping chronologies to suit your needs. The skeins of time are yours to see, and you know how to apply enough pressure to adjust their threads ever so subtly. Your ability to understand the infinite possibilities of time also shaped you into someone capable of altering the material universe through powerful spellcasting, and you can harness temporal paradoxes to foresee the future—and dictate the present—in powerful ways. |

Weapon Fusions
| Name | Level | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | This delicate fusion provides its weapon exceptional balance and lightweight lethality. As a full action, you can make a single attack that deals additional damage equal to your Dexterity bonus to all targets. This fusion can be applied only to small arms or weapons with the operative weapon property. | ||
| 5 | When attached to an analog ranged weapon, a bending fusion enables you to adjust the weapon’s projectiles mid-flight. Your attacks with the weapon ignore the AC bonus from soft cover provided by one Medium or smaller creature between you and your target. Soft cover provided by additional or larger creatures is unaffected. | ||
| 7 | A boosting fusion provides its wielder a burst of confidence when delivering powerful blows with the weapon. When you score a critical hit with the weapon, if at least one target of the attack takes damage equal to at least 3 × the weapon’s item level, you recover a number of Stamina Points equal to the weapon’s item level, in addition to the critical hit’s other effects. After you benefit from this fusion, you can’t do so again until you rest for 10 minutes to recover Stamina Points. | ||
| 2 | A kindred weapon bears the colors, iconography, and other designs of a specific culture. When you purchase or create a kindred weapon fusion, choose up to three creature species, such as humans, ryphorians, and dragonkin. Any attacks made with the weapon veer around creatures of the chosen species, taking a –4 penalty to hit and dealing the attack’s minimum damage to such creatures. These creatures don’t block or impede the weapon’s attacks, granting no soft cover for the attacks and not preventing a weapon with the line weapon special property from attacking creatures farther away from the weapon. | ||
| 13 | A meltdown weapon can trigger brief but painful nuclear fission reactions within its target’s bodies. When critically hit with the weapon, it causes a fraction of the target’s atoms to split apart and fly from their body (Fortitude negates). If the target fails its save, it becomes nauseated for 1d4 rounds and can attempt another saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect. Whenever the creature fails this Fortitude save, its body emits high radiation in an instantaneous 15-foot-radius burst. Other creatures in that area must succeed at a Fortitude save or become sickened for 1 round; creatures more than 5 feet from the target gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the saving throw. This effect has the pain and poison descriptors. | ||
| 12 | A sheering weapon has impossibly sharp edges, sports jagged serrations, or sharpens its projectiles upon firing for maximum lethality. When you successfully attack a foe with the weapon and the die’s result is 18 or 19, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to apply one of the following critical hit effects the weapon has to the target, though you don’t double the damage: bleed, severe wound, or wound. Only weapons that deal piercing or slashing damage can benefit from this fusion. | ||
| 7 | A steady fusion often appears heavily reinforced or bears rocky motifs. It allows you to use your physical power to steady your weapon and make your attacks more dangerous. As a full action, you can make a single ranged attack that deals additional damage equal to your Strength bonus to all targets. This fusion can be applied only to a ranged weapon without the thrown property. | ||
| 3 | A weapon fitted with a sundering fusion triggers destructive shockwaves in objects it hits, granting glancing blows the forcefulness of direct hits. The weapon gains the sunder weapon special property (Armory 30). Only weapons that deal bludgeoning damage can benefit from this fusion. | ||
| 5 | A supercharging weapon sometimes crackles with barely contained sparks or glows ominously while operated. Once per day when you use a supercharging weapon’s boost weapon special property, you can activate the fusion to further empower the effect; for each of the boost property’s additional damage dice with a result less than that die’s average result, you treat the die’s result as though it had instead rolled the average result, rounded up (such as treating each 1, 2, or 3 for a d6 as though it were a 4). If the weapon doesn’t have the boost property, the fusion instead gives the weapon the boost property it can use once per day, dealing 1d6 additional damage for every 5 item levels the weapon has. This fusion can be applied only to weapons that use charges. |
