As an On Turn action, you may choose to use one of these rolls to make an additional hit roll or damage roll, rolling multiple dice for the same attack.

+spirit-powers.namebearer.name: 'Namebearer'
+spirit-powers.namebearer.description: 'The spirit is named by the summoner. Even if destroyed, this specific spirit can be summoned again with all the knowledge and experiences it had before its destruction. While this preserves its personality and experiences, this also means that you must summon it with the same physical or spiritual manifestation and can only ever add powers to it; once you imbue it with Hideous Talons, for example, every future summoning of it must also have that power. Namebearers are slightly more durable, gaining +2 hit points per hit die. They’re also more willful, adding +2 to the difficulty of imposing an unnatural command on them.'

+spirits.spirit.name: 'Summoned spirit'
+spirits.spirit.description: |-
+  Every summoned spirit shares a few basic qualities. Spirits can:
+
+  * Think with human intelligence and carry out verbal orders reasonably and intelligently.
+
+  * Exist without food, water, or air, and resist all mundane toxins, diseases, and radiation.
+
+  * Speak, read, and write any languages known to their summoner.
+
+  * Gain their skill bonus when performing skill checks related to their nature.
+
+  * Ignore Morale checks, being solely subject to their summoner’s commands within the limits of their nature.
+
+  Along with these abilities, there are some things that spirits simply can’t do.
+
+  * Use weapons or armor, as spirits can use only such things as are part of their own being.
+
+  * Operate human technology beyond pushing a single button. They understand the uses of such devices, but simply cannot conceive of using them personally.
+
+  * Attack or directly harm humans, creatures, or other spirits without the Violent Will power. Only spirits in physical form can take this power.
+
+  * Act directly contrary to their nature or accept a suicidal order without attempting to resist it.
+
+  Some of these limits can be at least partially circumvented with the right spirit powers.
