- Hack and Slash
When When you attack an enemy in melee...
On a 10+ you deal your damage to the enemy and avoid their attack. At your option, you may choose to 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 shoot at an enemy at range...
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, placing you in danger as described by the GM; you have to take what you can get, -1d6 damage; 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...
On a 10+, you do what you set out to do, the danger is confided. On a 7-9, you stumble, hesitate, or flinch: the GM will offer you a worse outcome, a hard bargain, or an ugly choice.
- Defend
When When you stand in defense of a person, item, or location under attack...
On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. So 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's next attack; deal damage to the attacker equal to your level.
- Spout Lore
When When you consult your accumulated knowledge about something...
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, it is on you to make it useful.
- Discern Realities
When When you closely study a situation or person...
On a 10+, ask the GM 3 questions from the list. On a 7-9, ask 1: 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 is 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...
Leverage is something they need or want. On a 10+, they do what you want if you first promise them something they ask for. On a 7-9, they need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now.

Quirks
Background
Roland was once a captain in the city watch, a man who believed that every law was written in stone for a reason. Years of bureaucracy and corruption eventually wore him down, and he found himself dismissed for refusing to look the other way when a noble broke the peace. Now, he travels the wilds as a sellsword, though he still carries his badge of office hidden in his pack as a reminder of his oath. His body is tired and his movements are slower than they once were, but his mind remains sharp and his blade is heavy with the weight of experience. He knows he cannot swing his sword as fast as the younger recruits, but he knows exactly where the strike needs to land. He seeks to bring a sense of order to the chaotic places of the world, hoping to find a cause worthy of his final years. He treats his companions with the stern affection of an old drill sergeant, often putting his own safety on the line to ensure they return home alive.
