Special Abilities​

Dangerous​

Each PC may add +1 action rating to Hunt, Skirmish, or Wreck (up to a max rating of 3).

Crossed Swords​

When you execute an assault plan, take +1d to the engagement roll.

This ability applies when the goal is to attack an enemy. It doesn't apply to other operations that happen to involve fighting.

Forged in the fire​

Each PC has been toughened by cruel experience. You get +1d to resistance rolls.

Focused Assault​

You gain +1d when performing a setup action to attack a target. Any party member who follows through to attack the same target also gains +1d.

Those following through still get the normal benefit of the setup action.

Glory Hounds​

You may count each nemesis as if it was renown.

Regardless of your renown (from this ability or otherwise), the minimum rep cost to advance your Tier is always 6.
