Starting Actions​

  • 2 dots in Consort

Special Abilities​

Coordination​

When you perform a setup action, you can push yourself to provide +1d and +1 effect for allies that follow through.

Normally, pushing yourself grants only one benefit. You cannot use this ability if you are incapacitated.

Expertise​

Choose one of your actions. When you lead a group action using that action, you can suffer only 1 stress at most, regardless of the number of failed rolls.

Foresight​

Two times per quest you can assist a teammate without paying stress. Describe how you prepared for this.

Mesmerize (S)​

You can push yourself to influence a number of creatures equal to the spell's Tier + 1, even if they're currently hostile to you.

As part of casting this spell, specify a task you'd like the creatures to do. At most, a targeted creature remains under the effect of this spell until it has completed the specified task or determined that the task cannot be feasibly completed.

Motivate​

You can push yourself to temporarily let a creature treat penalties from all harm they have as one level less severe, including level 4 harm.

Teambuilding​

You work on tactics and strategy with the party as a downtime activity. Choose an attribute. Everyone in the party gets one dot they can place in an action related to the chosen attribute for the next quest.

Each party member can choose a different action within the attribute to add their temporary dot to. This does not allow you to have four dots in any action unless your party has the Mastery upgrade. The temporary dot goes away at the beginning of the next downtime phase.

Polyglot (S)​

You can spend 2 stress to understand and communicate in a language you don't know.

Casting this spell does not require an action roll. The ability to understand and communicate in the unknown language generally only lasts a few hours.
