Dont know the setting/don't have a feel for the balance of the stats, but would this work as reward pick? (Or something like it with different numbers) Telekinetic Shield: Generate a shield around yourself. The shield has [Intelligence] hitpoints and [Intelligence/10] rounded down defense. Cooldown to refresh: 20 sec. Energy cost: 1.

Ok so telekinetic shield would work but the energy cost is too low for the effect. So let's say our character has 50 energy, that means they could use this 50 times. Thats overpowered.
The cooldown should be raised to 30 as this is more powerful than the other defense option toughen up, as well as energy cost being raised to 8-9. If you want the cooldown to remain the same raise the energy to 11.

Goal: Find a user and advance them towards their goal. Conditions: User must have some goal, must be willing to fight for said goal, and is hard set on said goal. Note: User is classified as a human.
It was the only thing I've seen besides this big blue ball, yet it felt so right to do. The simple act of helping someone towards their goal just felt right. So many have lost hope in their dreams, dreams that should be chased.
Something told me that no matter what user I picked, said user would not be my last. It seemed logical, as humans lived for only so long, often not even reaching their full life span, cut short one way or another.
Full life span… that would be logical to find a user near the end of their life, someone with experience. I wouldn't want someone on their deathbed but, if I could find someone who was not only near it, yet also was set on their goal. Than that could be my first step.
Helping someone who still marches forward yet without hope, someone wanting a better tomorrow! Let's start!
Somewhere at an abandoned graveyard for soldiers from a war not many remember or care to remember. An old man stands in front of a row of graves, many are old and have not been touched for many years, all except one freshly dug grave.
The old man remembers his youth, despite the bad memories it brings up of how his brothers and sisters died by the dozen. How his comrades in arms would be replaced as quickly as they died. He remembers despite this, thinking to himself.
The old man finally spoke "I was never meant to lead any of you, not once was I meant or prepared for it. Enough better men and women than me were ready to take the leading role, yet they died as fast as they signed up for the role."
He takes a shaky breath. "I'm not going to ask why I survived when they didn't, I think it was as much chance as skill anyway, I came here to return a brother and to tell you all this."
He steels his eyes.
"I will fight for a better tomorrow like we all did, like we used to, I refuse to rot away any more! I want our sacrifices to mean more than a useless couple decades of peace before our children go right back into the grinder! I…"
He pauses with tears in his eyes as he realizes that he hasn't felt his blood boil, his tears flow, his heart beat, in so many years.
"I came to say goodbye I suppose. I came to say to look after me as I will do what I feel is right. To dream again in this crazy world. For a better tomorrow."
As he turns to walk away he pauses looking at something not there. The man known as 'Charles Bets' looked stunned. Charles POV:
Hello user.
You have been selected due to your reawakened beliefs, for that of a better tomorrow.
Would you like to initiate the tutorial? Y/N
What… I just…
How well does he take it? Dc 50 for a non-freak out reaction. Rolling… 68!
"Ok what the hell is this?" If my comrades are looking right now, then they must think I've gone crazy. "Know what, yes, if I've been drugged I'm riding this one out."
Attention user!
You are not under any substance! You have been selected by the super system, so that you may work towards your goal!
…Is this a superpower or something?
Attention user!
Superpowers are possible with this system!
However you must work towards them!
Initiating tutorial… will be unconscious in 5 seconds!
Can it read my mind? Wait unconscious-
Super system POV:
Hmmm… perhaps giving him enough time to find a safe spot will be necessary next time. Well he will wake up in a minute anyway. What's his stats like I wonder?
Our user's stats:
Hp 40/40
Energy 55/55
Strength 8
Agility 7
Constitution 8(Hp is x5 this.)
Endurance 11(9 base)(Energy is x5 this.)
Intelligence 12
Perception 14
Spirit 13(Effects your regeneration of energy and health.)
Perks:
Tireless: Gain 20% increase in energy and energy regen. Resting doubles energy regen.
Skills: none.
So he's weak physically but he's mentally sharp. Ok then that works. Now I just have to wait for him to wake up.
After 5 minutes he finally woke up. Ok good now he should know how to work the system. Also that should have taken only 1 minute, what happened?
System query from user #1: What's your purpose, also what do I call you.
Well my purpose is to advance your goal… what am I called?
[]Write in?(Name our system) So minor explanation on how this works. There will not be much interaction between the system and user from here on. We will mostly be in the POV of our user, which shows what he is doing with the choices we make as a system.
We are only here to advance his goals. His goals when stated, we will make a mission for said goal that he will follow for reward.
Hint: Our user is an army veteran from a war, which most people under 30 never heard of and anyone that has doesn't really care about. So imagine his attitude towards supers who want to do villainous things. That's how our user will start out mentally.
Wait there's a rover named pathfinder? 2 days have passed: Gain 14 Xp.
You can create a mission based on users' internal desires, make an item as a reward for said mission or future mission, or make a skill.
Internal desires detected: 2. He has discovered a gang through his research and wants to take them out. He wants to start 5 days from now but only after preparation. He believes he is not strong enough as he is now. Choose any(You have 14 Xp from the user completing his daily mission. Xp is required to make these missions with the xp required for them listed. The difficulty, Xp, and rewards should correspond to each other.):
[]Disguise: Our user wants to make a disguise for fighting. The reasoning being he has discovered a gang called the 'Pikesmen' which has been known for drug dealing and being hired muscle.
They have a super as their leader, who's power Charles believes is "The ability to make and control a limited number of pikes." He wants to make a disguise ahead of time as he wants to take this gang out.
-[]Make it(Xp 5): Make a disguise capable of hiding your identity. Rewards: Your suit will gain +3 defense.
-[]Combat capable(Xp 10): Make a disguise capable of not only hiding your identity, but is also capable of sustained combat. Rewards: Your suit will gain +2 defense, +1 random stat when worn, and 1 random minor effect.
-[]Write in?(I'll tell you the Xp price of any write in, you come up with. Remember to add a reward.)
[]Training: Our user wants to train his old body back to his prime. He wants to do so as he doesn't see his goal being possible if he's weak.
-[]Old style(Xp 7): Within 2 days complete 50 push ups, 20 sit ups, and run 2 miles. Note: If these requirements are completed twice over, double the rewards. Rewards: Gain +1 strength, endurance, constitution, and agility stat.
-[]Endurance and speed(9 Xp): Run 5 miles within 2 days. Note: If these requirements are completed twice over, double the rewards. Rewards: Gain +2 endurance and +2 agility stat.
-[]Write in?(I'll tell you the Xp price of any write in, you come up with. Remember to add a reward.)
Make a skill(The more Xp used the more powerful the skill):
[]Telekinetic shield: Generate a telekinetic shield around yourself. -[]How much Xp do you put into this?
[]Write in?(Name an idea and direction. Then put in the Xp.)
Make an item(The more Xp used the more powerful or effective the item):
[]Write in?(Name a direction like defense or attack, or get specific in detail of the purpose or look of the item. Then put in how much Xp you use.)

User has assigned both free stat points to agility. All options do not have to be picked. In fact you can skip this and put the vote as nothing.
[]No(NOT RECOMMENDED)
I highly recommend you do something however. Any Xp left over will be there in the next selection, which will happen in 5 days, by that I mean 5 days until Charles decides to go out.
Remember I'll tell you the Xp price of any write in, you come up with.
Put it in a plan. Anyway have fun! Any questions? Ask!

Alright so I should warn you that 2 Xp will make this skill very weak. I'll still allow it but unlike the previous version, this one will be a lot weaker. For instance I would have to lower the duration to about 1-3 seconds with less Hp.
A few other details, but in all honesty with the skill points it could probably get back to that strength on its own. Just warning you is all.

We can still invest xp later and don't suffer a disadvantage from starting small, right?
Meaning if we invest 2 XP now and 8 XP next turn we get the same benefits as if we invested nothing now and 10 XP next turn, right? (Ignoring the possibility of the user investing their skill points and so on)

We can update how it works if it's given out BUT, we cannot improve it. So for example we could make the shield appear anywhere within a foot of us, but we would need to make it weaker to compensate. Oh and here's what I would make the 2 Xp telekinetic shield look like stat wise.
Telekinetic Shield: Generate a 3 foot shield 1 foot away from you or on your body. The shield has [Intelligence/2] hp and [Intelligence/15] rounded down defense. Cooldown to refresh: 40 sec. Energy cost: 8.
Edit: To be more specific. It would only cover 3 feet of your body if you put it on your body.

The shield lasts(for this one at least) 4 seconds or until it's destroyed.
This skill is very much a long term skill, reason being it's scaling potential is very high so it's going to be weak early on.
That's why I decided to warn about doing it with only 2 Xp. Just seems like a waste for such a powerful concept.
