Divine Boons

• Minor Boon
  Once, you can choose the result of the next ordinary coin you flip or ordinary die you roll. If this ability is used for personal gain at the expense of someone innocent or less fortunate, Avandra levies her moderate curse on you as punishment.
• Moderate Boon
  You gain a lucky impetuousness, allowing you to roll for Initiative twice and use the higher result once per day. This is a fortune effect.
• Major Boon
  The Change Bringer rejoices in freedom and tricks those who would limit it. Any time you would become grabbed, immobilized, or restrained, attempt a DC 10 flat check. On a success, you ignore the effect, and the originator of the effect becomes grabbed, immobilized, or restrained instead. If this simply causes a creature to grab itself, it can usually Escape as a free action, but it might be stuck if it tried to immobilize you in other ways.

Divine Curses

• Minor Curse
  ???
• Moderate Curse
  You are plagued with ill luck just when fortune is most needed. You must always roll flat checks twice and use the worse result. This is a misfortune effect.
• Major Curse
  Ill luck causes even once-certain aid to fail with frustrating regularity. You cannot benefit from circumstance or status bonuses, or from fortune effects.
