Power Skills

Power skills are skills that allow the possessing character to gain access to an extraordinary power. These skills can only be taken when you gain the Evolved feat, and a character can only possess a single power skill unless another rule states otherwise;

Example: a character with the Power (empathy) skill can gain access to other power skills after coming into contact with another evolved person.

A character can use power skills as much as he would like as long as he takes the proper action to activate it. A power skill takes an attack action, that provokes an attack of opportunity, to activate unless otherwise stated. A power skills effect is considered an extraordinary ability. A character can use a power skill only if he is conscious, unless stated otherwise.

If a GM chooses they may make the character gain a power at random, rolling a d% and consulting the table bellow.
