Primary Racial Traits

People of the Spirit (Mind): A spiritually focused culture, Yardrat society promotes inner peace and enlightenment.

Power of the Weak (Body): Though physically unimpressive, Yardrats more than make up for their shortcomings by sharing their spiritual power with others.
(1)-[Passive]: When using the Empower Maneuver to give Ki Points to an Ally, you must always give the maximum amount of Ki Points possible to that Ally.

Masters of Movement (Mind): While Yardrats may not hit particularly hard, they’re notoriously difficult to hurt due to their unique ability to dart around the battlefield.

You are removed from your current place on the Battlefield and placed on that Square. If you were in a Grapple before applying this effect, you must make a Clash (Cognitive) against the Grappler. If you win, that Grapple ends and you may apply this effect as usual. If you lose, this effect fails and is not applied.

(2)-[Triggered, 1/Round]: If a Bonded Ally is targeted by an Opponent’s effect that requires them to use the Cognitive Saving Throw for a Clash, you may choose to shift the target of that effect to you (regardless of distance or AoE that was used to target that Ally). Apply the effect as usual, but with you as the target instead of the targeted Ally, including what occurs if you lose this Clash.
(3)-[Triggered/Power, 1/Round]: You may choose not to gain a stack of Power and instead gain a stack of the Impaired Combat Condition until the start of your next turn.

If you win this Might Clash, that Attacking Maneuver fails to hit you or any of your Allies. You suffer a stack of the Fatigue Combat Condition after using this effect.
