GIFTS   IT'S A CURSED GIFT THEN  

this part explains the gifts that is special ability in this game whether it is earthers ,el hazardian, etc
of course this will be longer than others i think.it will be splitted into two parts ,ordinary ,elements ,and extraordinary.
ordinary is for human and shadow tribe while element is for the priestess

each gifts(the good point) is sometimes tied with curse(the bad point)
earthers ,shadow tribe ,the priestess and probably the bugrom can choose only from their section of gifts
the player choose their gift based on ratings whether they are earthers, shadow tribe etc and of course based on the rulings.

this part explains how many gift points a character could received
earthers=1 gift
normal el hazardian=none at all
priestess=1 gift
royalty=none
shadow tribe= none ,they alraedy have the illusion gifts (they have to choose either illuson 1 or illusion 2 . they also considered automatically possessed the vision gift

special rules for earthers and maybe shadow tribe
one of the great aspect of el hazard is that none of the earthers characters know what their powers are . all of them knows by accident so i came up with this simple rules . it could be fun though

humans :
first asked the player to choose five of the powers he or she want the most fo her his character the game master then secretly assign numbers to those five chooise ( assign it as either 1-2 ,3-4 ,5-6 ,7-8 , 9-0 ) then either the game master or the player roll the dice . the result of this is kept secret and the player have to experiment if they want to know what kind of powers they got (the gamemeaster makes the roll and describe the effect of it wether it is player`s gift or not however when the character discovered his or her gift considered it as average success even thought the relosution task is fail althought if higher than average succes treat it as that ) the player however must first make a declare that he is trying to make sure he has that certain gift

examples :
after seing fujisawa sensei kicking the bugrom around wth his superstrength gift ,makoto declares that he wants to try and punch a bugrom and see if he has the power ,since makoto don`t have the superstrength gift the game master roll his 10d dicw based on the makoto physique attribute , later when confronting ifurita makoto declare that he wants to try if he has the synch gift he touchs ifurita staff and the gm makes a roll (the roll is actually a failure but it is considered as average success since makoto try it for the first time , and thus makoto is able to enter ifurita`s mind

ORIDNARY GIFTS
gifts which earthers, and shadow tribe can choose

ruling : diet must be choose with the backgorund: addiction .whether or not the effect of the food had wore off is up to the judge and if he did lose his power ,his score turns back to his orginal score .another way to handle this curse is that the player roll his dice based on his toughness score and beat the dificulty level(for more information ,check the hangover part in the non combar resolution part).

SYNCH
gift : albe to activate , connect and communicate with sentience and non sentience ancient`s device
