• 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 attack an enemy at range with a projectile.

  When you attack an enemy at range with a projectile, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you have a clear shot, deal your damage, and avoid their attack. On a 7-9, you deal your damage but 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 deal with one of your ammunition or positioning complications at the GM's discretion.

• 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 GM will tell you which stat applies. On a 10+, you do it. On a 7-9, you do it but the GM will offer a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. On a 6-, be prepared for trouble and the GM makes a move.

• Defend

  When When you hold position against an enemy, shielding someone or something from attack.

  When you hold position against an enemy, roll+CON. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. Spend hold 1-for-1 to choose from the list. You take half damage from an attack, you deal your damage to the attacker, you deflect or reduce an incoming blow, you open up an enemy to an ally, or you hold the line until help arrives. On a 6-, you still make a move, but the situation escalates.

• Spout Lore

  When When you recall important facts or lore.

  When you recall important facts or lore about a monster, location, danger, or ancient mystery, roll+INT. On a 10+, the GM tells you something interesting and useful. On a 7-9, the GM tells you something interesting, but it is incomplete, obscure, or only partly useful. On a 6-, the GM may tell you what you think you know, but it is wrong, incomplete, or dangerously misleading.

• Discern Realities

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

  When you closely study a person, place, or situation, roll+WIS. On a 10+, ask the GM three questions from the move list. On a 7-9, ask one. Take +1 forward when acting on the answers. On a 6-, the GM will answer as truthfully as they like, but you are in danger or have opened yourself to a new threat.

• Parley

  When When you bargain with a non-player character.

  When you bargain with a non-player character, promise them something they want, and ask for something in return, roll+CHA. On a 10+, they do it if you promise them what they want. On a 7-9, they need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now. On a 6-, their reaction is up to the GM, and your offer may make things worse.

• Bend Bars, Lift Gates

  When When you have some time and the proper materials to work on weapons or heavy obstacles.

  When you have some time and the proper materials, you may forge, repair, or reshape a weapon. Describe what you want and roll+STR. On a 10+, the weapon is exceptional, choose two, on a 7-9, choose one, it is functional but flawed, it is lighter or more elegant than normal, it is reliable and keeps its edge, it deals +1 damage, or it gains a useful, distinctive feature. On a 6-, your work is flawed, dangerous, or costly, and the GM will tell you how.

• Armored

  When Always.

  You ignore the weight of armor that would slow lesser warriors. When you take damage while wearing armor, reduce the damage by the armor value of your armor as normal, and your armor never counts as cumbersome or burdensome to you.

• Signature Weapon

  When When you choose and wield your personal weapon of legend.

  Choose a weapon. It is yours and yours alone, etched with identity, history, and menace. Give it a name and three tags or special qualities from the Fighter list or GM approval. Whenever you use this weapon, you gain the benefits of those qualities. If you ever lose it, your relationship to the weapon and the world around it will shape what happens next.

• Adaptable Heritage

  When When you choose a racial move as a human.

  Choose one move from another class. Treat your level as one lower for the purpose of choosing that move. A human fighter often uses this to shore up a weakness, steal a trick from another style, or chase a personal obsession into danger.
