Righteousness and Guide My Hand

[Burpcycle]

I can't find descriptions of these powers anywhere. Could someone please post them?

[NicholasQuinn]

They are in Your Story, in the religious part of the powers section.

From memory:

Guide My Hand represents direct divine guidance. It lets you arrive at a convenient place without spending a FP and it lets you spend a FP to replace a non-attack skill with Conviction.

Righteousness represents being filled with divine power. It lets you pray and spend a FP to make Conviction complement everything for a while in pursuit of a noble goal and its lets you blast people with holy power when things get bad.

Thanks. The blast people thing is just straight stress damage?

Practically everything is "just stress".  The sole exception is some rituals you can do to temporarily assign aspects or to select consequences.

'Temporarily assigning aspects' is more commonly known as 'maneuvering', and 'selecting consequences' violates one of the fundamental strictures of the system.

You both seem to be agitated with each other, it could be addressed in private messages instead of public derailing posts.   The bolded passive agressive behavior no doubt to be rebutled further derailing the thread was very informative however...

That said.  I value both of your opinions.  I generally learn something from your posts or agree in some manner with you.

You both bring very valid arguments to teh table anmd very good information/answers to questions...but since the Freeholding Lord thread...not so much.

Yeah Righteousness is pretty nice, but seems to become weaker the tougher the bad guys get, as many will have a decent amount of discipline to defend with.  Early on though, it's devestating.

  In some cases a True Believer/KoC might be better off burning a few fate points on an attack instead.

Huh.  You read far more negativity into that than I did.  Not sure if I need to boost Rapport or not....

Regarding the two powers the OP is looking for, this is a good quick reference.

Could someone maybe post the actual mechanics/text for Righteousness, please?

Posting exact text from the book in large quantities may be against the terms of service or run into copyright issues. I can tell you that Righteousness is on Page 188 of the Your Story rulebook.

Sorry, it seems that I was unclear.

The poster was asking if the power 'only inflicted stress' and my reply was that that's what virtually all powers do.   As for the exception, I was referring to using Thaumaturgy to assign aspects and consequences - Your Story, pages 264 - 265.   That section specifically allows for someone to use Thaumaturgy to assign whatever consequence the caster wants.

As far as I can see, that use of Thaumaturgy is the only offensive power that doesn't work by inflicting stress...  Well, that and Addictive Saliva (that has a “consequential contest”) which allows the attacker to select a consequence.

I apologise if I'm coming off that way.  I'll try to merely post my own opinion and stop trying change people's opinions.

I think that Silverblaze has Richard and Tedronai's recent history in mind in saying that.

Anyway...I can't post the text of Righteousness because I don't have YS right now.

Not too worried about copyright, since I'm pretty sure that giving Burpcycle the effects of these powers won't stop him from buying YS. If anything, it will make him more likely to do so.

PS: @Burpcycle: You should totally buy YS. It was one of the best purchases I ever made.

Not only is it useful and entertaining, it's bloody huge by RPG manual standards and could be used to brain someone in a pinch.

And the pages have a shiny coating so brains wipe off easily... or so I have heard.
