Received Power
You receive your power from an outer source. This source may be sentient or a natural phenomenon. You may willingly accept the power or be overwhelmed by it.
You may be a Fighter that channels the deer spirit of the forest. You might unleash the powers of a great storm that consumes you in the process. You may be a shadow that executes the will of some mysterious dark entity.
Specials
Your source gives you an action related to it, a boon and a curse. Your curse stage can not exceed your level. If you would exceed it, you instead immediately loose your boon and curse effects and fall unconsious for 10 minutes. You can clear your curse by meditating 10 minutes (during which the Curse effects are suppressed).
