Always on

• Hack and Slash

  When 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 choose to deal +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 shoot at an enemy at range...

  Roll+DEX. On a 10+, you have a clear shot—deal your damage. On a 7–9, choose one: you have to move to get the shot placing you in danger as described by the GM, you have to take what you can get: -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...

  Roll+Ability. On a 10+, you do what you set out to, the danger doesn’t come to fruition. 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...

  Roll+CON. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 1. As long as you stand in defense, when you or the thing you defend is attacked you may spend hold, 1 for 1, to: 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 them +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...

  Roll+INT. On a 10+, the GM will tell you something interesting and useful about the subject relevant to your situation. On a 7–9, the GM will only tell you something interesting. The GM might ask you 'How do you know this?'

• Discern Realities

  When When you closely study a situation or person...

  Roll+WIS. On a 10+, ask the GM 3 questions from the list. On a 7–9, ask 1. List: What happened here recently? What is about to happen? What should I be on the lookout for? What here is useful or valuable to me? Who’s really in control here? What here is not what it appears to be?

• Parley

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

  Roll+CHA. On a 10+, they do what you want if you first promise them what they want. On a 7–9, they need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now.

• Elf Wizard: Detect Magic

  When When you touch an object and ask 'Is this magical?'

  The GM will tell you the truth. This move replaces your ability to cast Detect Magic as a spell.

• Spellbook

  When Always active

  You have a spellbook containing three cantrips and two level 1 spells of your choice. Whenever you gain a level, you add a new spell of your level or lower to your spellbook.

• Prepare Spells

  When When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet contemplation with your spellbook...

  You lose any spells you already have prepared. You prepare new spells from your spellbook whose total levels do not exceed your own level+1. You also prepare your cantrips, which do not count against your limit.

• Cast a Spell

  When When you release a spell you’ve 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: you draw unwelcome attention, you put yourself in a spot, or the spell is forgotten. On a 6-, you lose the spell and the GM makes a move.

• Spell Defense

  When You may end any ongoing spell immediately...

  And use the energy of its dissipation to deflect an incoming attack. The spell ends and you subtract its level from the damage done to you.

• Ritual

  When When you draw on a place of power to create a magical effect...

  Tell the GM what you’re trying to achieve. Ritual effects are always possible, but the GM will give you one to four conditions: It will take days/weeks/months, First you must ____, You'll need help from ____, It will require a lot of money, or The best you can do is a lesser version.
