Partial Powers System
In the All Roads Lead to Amber game, we utilize a tiered approach to the Partial Powers system commonly used in many Amber Diceless games. This is both to keep the ambiguity of the original system, as well as the flexibility of the Partial Powers system. Generally, in a conflict between two people using powers, the higher tier power will win. Ties will often go to the higher Psyche, with weighting given for certain powers. The following powers are the publicly known levels and powers of All Roads Lead to Amber
- Pattern
- Trump
- Logrus
- Shapeshifting
- Sorcery
- Conjuration
- Supplementary Powers
- Abyssal Mysticism (This power has been demonstrated, but its capacities are currently unknown)
