• Hack and Slash

  When When you attack an enemy in melee

  When you attack an enemy in melee, roll +STR. On a 10+, deal your damage to the enemy and avoid their attack. On a 7-9, deal your damage 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+, deal your damage. On a 7-9, choose one: move to get the shot, reduce your ammunition by 1, or expose yourself to danger. On a 6-, mark XP as usual and the GM makes a move.

• 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. On a 7-9, you stumble, hesitate, or flinch, and the GM offers 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. While defending, spend hold to redirect an attack from the defended target to yourself, halve the attack's effect or damage, or open the attacker to an ally, giving that ally +1 forward against the attacker.

• 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 may ask how you know it.

• Discern Realities

  When When you closely study a person, situation, or place

  When you closely study a person, situation, or place, roll +WIS. On a 10+, ask the GM 3 questions from the Discern Realities list. On a 7-9, ask 1. Take +1 forward when acting on the answers.

• 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 may be a promise, threat, favor, or evidence. On a 10+, they do what you ask if they can. On a 7-9, they do it, but first the GM chooses one: they demand concrete assurance, need proof, or require you to do something first.

• Spellbook

  When When you consult or maintain your spellbook

  You have a spellbook containing every Wizard spell you have learned. You begin with three cantrips and three 1st-level spells recorded in it. You can prepare only the spells recorded in your spellbook.

• Prepare Spells

  When When you spend uninterrupted time studying your spellbook

  When you spend uninterrupted time studying your spellbook, choose the spells you will have available. Choose a number of spells equal to your level +1. You can prepare any combination of cantrips and 1st-level spells recorded in your spellbook.

• Cast a Spell

  When When you release a spell you have prepared

  When you release a spell you have prepared, roll +INT. On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and you do not forget it. On a 7-9, the spell is cast, but choose one: draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot, the spell is forgotten, or the spell creates an unintended effect. On a 6-, mark XP as usual and the GM makes a move.

• Ritual

  When When you use magic to create an effect beyond the scope of your prepared spells

  When you spend time and materials researching a magical effect, tell the GM what you are trying to achieve. Ritual magic can accomplish any effect, but the GM will give you one to four conditions, such as needing rare materials, requiring a particular place or time, involving danger, or taking a long time to complete.

• Elven Arcana

  When When you examine something for magical influence

  Detect Magic is a cantrip for you, and you can cast it freely as a prepared spell without placing it in your prepared spell list.
