Pools

Pools are supplementary advantages that most characters will gain access to at some point. Pools have a wide range of effects, such as activating Powers, and daily sustenance. Some create passive effects, and some even have a set of effects when used on their own. Most Pools are awarded as a Gift (one exception being Willpower). Some Pools, primarily Metabolic Pools are awarded alongside a relevant Power. There are even some Pools which carry primarily negative effects, though these will vary with the character, of course.
