Focus

Focus
Use: Cannot be
used unskilled.
Sample specializations: None.
The
focus skill
represents a character’s ability to tap into the spiritual energies of a
religious belief system and somewhat reliably create “miracles” with that
energy. It is not used alone however; miracles are not possible without the faith skill
also being involved (though in some cases miracles can occur without needing
the focus skill.)
The complete rules for performing miracles can be found in Chapter Eleven. Focus is an unusual
skill in that it cannot normally be taught to another character. In most belief
systems, the ability to perform miracles is seen as a gift or a blessing, not
something that can simply be learned like any other ability. Players who wish
to have their characters acquire the focus
skill during gameplay will need
to
discuss the matter with their gamemaster and determine how, and if, the
character can get the skill.
