Signer

Signers have gained the trust of Legendary Pokemon, and with that trust they summon astral forms of Legendary Pokemon to help them through any difficulties. Signers are loyal Rangers who seek to right any wrong above all else, especially when it comes to anything that could shatter the natural balance of the world. With a Signer on your team, you know that you’ll always be covered, and by the power of legends at that.

Prerequisites: Must choose a legendary pokemon to be your Patron.

Bonuses: +1 DEX

Mechanic: Whenever you are allied with a Legendary Pokemon, you gain its Crest. Whenever you use a Signer Feature, choose a Crest belonging to one of the Legendary Pokemon you have allied with. Depending on which Pokemon it is, the effects of the other Signer Features may change. Whilst trainers can have multiple crests, the god to which they're most devoted is referred to as their Patron. This can change over time based on the judgement of their GM. Crests do not inform you of any Allied Legendaries’ Moves, or Stats. If any Patrons are reduced to less than 25% of their HP, Signers who are allied with their Patrons will know, if they are thinking about their Patron.

One of your loyal pokemon may be designated as your "Companion" pokemon, which is used for targetting certain Signer features. This can only be changed once a day at the start, through a small ritual forging a connection between the Trainer, their Companion, and their Crests.

 Smite Sign  Prerequisites: Signer Static Effect: While attacking with a Trainer Attack, you may activate a Crest. When activated, choose one of the Pokemon’s Elemental Types and treat your attack as that Elemental Type. Apply Weaknesses, Resistances and Immunities.

Summoning Sign Prerequisites: Signer, 6 Signer Features Weekly, Trainer Action Target: Adjacent empty space. Effect: Next to you a miniature, astral form of your Patron appears. Your GM will determine its stats. It has 6 charges over the course of the week, and can be summoned as a Trainer action or dismissed as a Free action. Once summoned, it can be given contigencies under which it would be automatically summoned before dismissal. The astral patron can be directed with broad goals, but greater attunement may allow you to assume direct control.

 Swift Sign  Prerequisites: Signer Daily, Free Action Target: Companion Pokemon. Effect: You may immediately issue a command to the target, even if you have commanded another Pokemon during that round of an encounter. The Helpful Pokemon is dismissed as usual afterwards.
