Always on

• 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. 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 shoot at an enemy at range.

  When you take aim and shoot at an enemy at range, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you have a clear shot and deal your damage. On a 7-9, choose one: you have to move to get the shot, you have to take what you can get as a shot, or you have to take several shots, reducing your ammo by one.

• 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. On a 10+, you do what you set out to do and avoid the threat. On a 7-9, you stumble, hesitate, or flinch, and 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.

  When you stand in defense of a person, item, or location, roll+CON. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. So long as you stay in defense, when the thing you defend is attacked, you may spend hold to choose one: redirect an attack to yourself, halve the attack's effect or damage, open the attacker to an ally, 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. The GM might ask you how you know the information.

• Discern Realities

  When When you closely study a situation or person.

  When you closely study a situation or person, 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? Who is really in control here?

• Parley

  When When you have leverage on a GM character and manipulate them.

  When you have leverage on a GM 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 what they want. On a 7-9, they will do it, but need some concrete assurance right now.

• Burning Brand

  When When you imbue a weapon with fire or create a weapon from pure flame.

  When you weave fire into a weapon, it gains the fiery tag and deals +2 damage until the fire goes out. When you create a weapon from pure fire, it has the close, reach, and fiery tags, but you must Defy Danger with CON to wield it safely. On a 10+, it lasts until the end of the scene. On a 7-9, it lasts briefly or creates an additional danger of the GM's choice. On a 6-, the fire answers in an unexpected way.

• Cast a Spell

  When When you weave a spell of fire through an object, person, or place.

  When you weave a spell of fire, describe what you want it to do and roll+INT. On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast. On a 7-9, the spell is cast, but choose one: you draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot, the spell's effect is limited or altered, or you lose control of the fire and the GM makes a move. On a 6-, the GM makes a hard move.

• Give Me Fuel, Give Me Fire

  When When you sacrifice something of value to feed your magic.

  When you consume something precious, rare, or personally meaningful in flame, describe what power you seek from the sacrifice and roll+CHA. On a 10+, the fire grants the power cleanly. On a 7-9, it grants the power, but the GM chooses one: the sacrifice is greater than expected, the effect is temporary, or the fire demands a dangerous future service. On a 6-, the fire takes what it wants and the GM makes a move.

• Fighting with Fire

  When When you invoke the spirits of flame to accomplish something beyond ordinary fire.

  When you call upon the primal spirits of flame, describe what you ask them to do and roll+CHA. On a 10+, they obey. On a 7-9, they obey but choose one: their influence is obvious, their help is temporary, or you must offer them something in return. On a 6-, the spirits act according to their own desires.

• Zuko Style

  When When you use a dramatic display of flame to influence someone.

  When you use fire to frighten, impress, or command someone, roll+CHA. On a 10+, choose two. On a 7-9, choose one: they hesitate, they reveal what they fear, they obey a simple demand, or they flee. On a 6-, your display provokes an immediate and dangerous reaction.

• Ember-Sense

  When When you offer something meaningful to a fire and seek knowledge in return.

  When you sacrifice a personal possession, memory, or promise to a fire, you may ask the flames one question about the immediate situation. The GM answers truthfully, but the answer may arrive as an image, smell, or omen rather than words.
