AvatarWhile all hobomancers call upon the Spirits to assist them, especiallywhen performing magic rituals, the avatar is a walking incarnation ofa particular Spirit. A character can use this Hobo Power to performany action normally associated with the Spirit he represents. Forexample, an avatar of the Steel Driver can perform amazing feats ofphysical strength and endurance, while the General’s avataris a born leader with an innate sense of strategy and tactics. Theplayer must choose a specific Spirit that he represents. Sample Uses of the Power (by Spirit):

• The Judge: Determine a person’s guilt just by looking intotheir eyes; find a clue at a crime scene.

ChampionAll hobomancers must be ready to battle the so-and-sos, what-nots,and other foes they meet in their travels, but champions are giftedwith an innate sense of battle and the discipline to perform impressivemartial feats.

Sample Uses of the Power:• Perform combat-related tricks such as trick shots/throws or

punching through a cinder block.• Add 1 / 3 Job roll to the Damage Bonus of an improvised

weapon.• Combat Prowess: At the beginning of combat, the champion

makes a Job roll. If the roll succeeds, the champion gets anumber of bonuses equal to the roll that he can use in thecombat scene. He may increase his chance to make a combat-related roll, increase the Success Degree of a combat-relatedroll, or decrease the damage he takes from an attack byspending these bonuses. Each bonus spent gives the charactera +1 bonus or Success Degree or reduces damage by 1 HPThe champion can spend as many bonuses per round as hewants. He can also spend 3 bonuses to get a Yum Yum.Unused bonuses (and unused Yum Yums bought withbonuses) disappear at the end of the combat scene.

Leave any train you ride cleaner than you found it.

Dapper Dave McGillicuddy

Train WhispererWhen a train first rolls off the line, it’s just a machine,but as it travels along the songline, it develops its ownpersonality and story, and some claim that well-traveledtrains even have something like a soul. The trainwhisperer can learn a lot about a train by simply listeningto its song and watching it roll along the rails. He can alsoaffect the operation of a train through sheer force of will.

Sample Uses of Power:• Determine basic information about the train, its cargo, and its

crew.• Get a rough idea of where the train has been. For example, its

last stop or whether it’s recently encountered corruptsonglines, rough track, or bad weather.

• Command the train. For example, the train whisperer canconvince the train to run hot in order to guarantee that it willstop at the next water tank, or nudge the train into movingfaster or slower than the conductor intends. In order to usethis ability, the character must be on board the train.
