Requirement

Some Abilities will list Requirements. Requirements can be generic things like “hands” or “standing,” or Requirements can be a specific type of point that you must spend from one of the Point Banks on your Character Sheet (Note: Your Shield, Health, and Vitality are Point Banks. You may also have Point Banks unique to your Class or Constitution.)

An Ability with Requirements will instantly be considered a Fail if you are lacking a Requirement at any point between the start of the Ability and when the Ability's Score and effect are determined. If points are Required, those points are only deducted at the time of determining the Ability's Score (but they must be available from the Ability's start to its scoring.)
