Editing Powers Check (section)

==Terror Track==
Powers Checks are intended to build towards a specific theme; the end result should be a coherent set of powers and curses that ultimately creates a recognizable monster. The term "Terror Track" is thusly used to define a specific set of Powers Check-gated gifts & curses that build towards a specific creature end-goal - for example, one of the earliest uses of the term in the boxed set "Domains of Dread" for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd Edition, gives us the Terror Track of the [[Vampire]].

Unfortunately, much like the general powers and curses of a failed Powers Check in general, the effort of inventing a Terror Track is left up to the DM. The [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] provides three sample Terror Tracks; the Ringleader, the Brute, and the Coward. Fans have responded by trying to create Terror Tracks for other DMs to use, resulting in them being scattered over various [[Ravenloft]] netbooks.

In [[Quoth the Raven]] #9, Terror Tracks are provided for the [[Kuo-toa]], the [[Sahuagin]] and the [[Reaver]].

In the [[Undead Sea Scrolls]] 2002, Terror Tracks are provided for the [[Aswang]] and the [[Upir Lichy]].

The largest source of Terror Tracks, however, can be found in the article "Terrible Transformations" for [[Books of S|The Book of Shadows]], which features '''twenty''' different Terror Tracks! Uniquely, it's the only one of its kind that focuses on rules for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] Terror Tracks, whereas the other five mentioned above are written for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]].
