I have no idea. Do you want to be a little more specific?

Is it a term from a game? Which game? Do you have any general idea what it is?

prow⋅ess (praʊɪs)
n.
1. exceptional valor, bravery, or ability, esp. in combat or battle.
2. exceptional or superior ability, skill, or strength: "his prowess as a public speaker."
3. a valiant or daring deed.

c.1290, prouesse, from O.Fr. proece (Fr. prouesse), from prou, variant of prud "brave, valiant," from V.L. *prodem (cf. Sp. proeza, It. prodezza; see proud). Prow was in M.E. as a noun meaning "advantage, profit," also as a related adj., but it has become obsolete.

If you're talking about "prowess" in context of my d20 Rebirth material, it goes with these.
