      Upgrading Astral Projection: Ronin can project a version of himself into another location. He can see, hear and speak in this space, and he can affect it physically (however, he cannot participate in combat situations). If the astral projection is damaged, it can no longer physically affect the space. He may only project as far as the sub-boards adjacent to his physical location - and only if he has previously visited the board.

      Mastered Demi God ability: I would like to use this to give Ronin a mythical shift of a Phoenix, please!
      
      +5 END
      
      and this Feat:
      
      Now You! | When Ronin successfully hits a target, the next ally who posts gains advantage on their attack.
      
      (I've already wiped the MP cost from my account, and removed the birthday gift from my OOC account, for ease!)
