• Hack and Slash

  When When you attack an enemy in melee

  When you attack an enemy in melee, roll+STR. On a 10+, you deal your damage to the enemy and avoid their attack. At your option, you may do +1d6 damage but expose yourself to the enemy's attack. On a 7-9, you deal your damage to the enemy and the enemy makes an attack against you.

• Volley

  When When you take aim and volley at an enemy at range

  When you take aim and volley at an enemy at range, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you have a clear shot, deal your damage, and avoid choosing from the 7-9 options. On a 7-9, choose one: you have to move to get the shot, placing you in danger; you have to take what you can get, dealing -1d6 damage; or you have to take several shots, reducing your ammo by 1.

• Defy Danger

  When When you act despite an imminent threat or suffer a calamity

  When you act despite an imminent threat or suffer a calamity, say how you deal with it and roll the relevant ability. On a 10+, you do what you set out to do and the threat does not come to bear. On a 7-9, you stumble, hesitate, or flinch; the GM will offer you a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.

• Defend

  When When you stand in defense of a person, item, or location under attack

  When you stand in defense of a person, item, or location under attack, roll+CON. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. So long as you remain in defense, when you or what you defend is attacked, you may spend hold 1-for-1 to choose an option: redirect an attack from the thing you defend to yourself; halve the attack's effect or damage; open up the attacker to an ally, giving that ally +1 forward against the attacker; or deal damage to the attacker equal to your level.

• Spout Lore

  When When you consult your accumulated knowledge about something

  When you consult your accumulated knowledge about something, roll+INT. On a 10+, the GM will tell you something interesting and useful about the subject. On a 7-9, the GM will only tell you something interesting. On a miss, the GM may reveal a mistaken or dangerous piece of information.

• Discern Realities

  When When you study a situation or person carefully

  When you study a situation or person carefully, roll+WIS. On a 10+, ask the GM three questions from the list. On a 7-9, ask one. Take +1 forward when acting on the answers: What happened here recently? What is about to happen? What should I be on the lookout for? What here is not what it appears to be? What is the true position of my enemy?

• Parley

  When When you have leverage on a character and manipulate them

  When you have leverage on a character and manipulate them, roll+CHA. Leverage is something they need or want. On a 10+, they do what you ask if you first promise they will do something you ask. On a 7-9, they will do it, but they need some concrete assurance of your promise right now.

• Bend Bars, Lift Gates

  When When you use pure strength to destroy an inanimate obstacle

  When you use pure strength to destroy an inanimate obstacle, roll+STR. On a 10+, choose 3. On a 7-9, choose 2: it doesn't take a very long time; nothing of value is damaged; it doesn't make an inordinate amount of noise; you can fix the thing again without a lot of effort.

• Armored

  When Whenever you wear armor or wield a weapon with the clumsy tag

  You ignore the clumsy and noisy tags on armor you wear. You also ignore the clumsy tag on any weapon you wield.

• Signature Weapon

  When When you fight with your signature weapon or Spout Lore about it

  This is your weapon. Choose its base damage, range, and tags, then describe its appearance. It is yours alone, and you may name it. When you fight with it, add +1 to your damage. When you Spout Lore about it, take +1.
