Additionally, if this fighter is Active, Engaged, or Pinned they may take the following action:

Use Adept Power (Basic): This fighter may make a Willpower check. If the Willpower check is a double 6, the Adept is taken Out of Action; even if the fighter's Willpower check would automatically pass they must still roll to see if they get double 6's. If the Willpower check is passed and the fighter is not taken Out of Action, select one of the fighter's Adept powers. That power is now active until the Adept suffers a Wound or activates a different Adept Power.
