Punitive

Spellcast Trait: Strength

Become judge, jury and executioner to enforce just punishment.

Foundation

Criminal Charge: When an adversary you can see within Close range makes an action roll, you can place a Criminal Charge on them. The target's difficulty is reduced by your Spellcast trait, and you can only Charge a number of adversaries equal to your Spellcast trait.

Into My Own Hands: Once per session, when you fail a roll with Fear, you continue your action as if you succeeded, but the GM gains 3 Fear.

Specialization

Warrant for Arrest: You always know the location of an adversary you have placed a Criminal Charge on. When this adversary succeeds on an action roll while you are within Melee range of them, they become temporarily Restrained.

Justice Served: When you deal Severe damage to the target of your Criminal Charge, you can gain a Hope or clear a Stress.

Mastery

Death Sentence: Once per long rest you can Sentence the target of your Criminal Charge to death. While Sentenced, the target must make a Reaction Roll (16) each time they are Spotlighted. On a failure, place a token on this card. On a success, they are no longer Sentenced or charged. When three tokens are placed on this card, the target immediately dies.

Law-Abiding

Law-Abiding

Spellcast Trait: Knowledge

Follow the law to the letter, and ensure all play by the rules.

Foundation

Letter of the Law: Once per long rest, you can give a command to a target. This target makes a Reaction Roll (14). On a failure, they must follow your command. This command must be a single word and not cause obvious harm to the target.

Due Process: When you put a target on Trial, you can mark a Stress to add an ally's number of Hope to your own for the purposes of comparing against the GM's Fear.

Specialization

Under Oath: Once per rest, you cause all creatures within Far range to speak only the truth for a number of hours equal to your tier, but do not compel them to speak.

Uphold the Law: Once per rest, when you see an adversary make an action roll, point it out and describe what rule or law is being broken, to GM discretion.

When you do so, the target becomes temporarily Vulnerable and obvious to see, and you gain a Hope.

Mastery

I am the Law: When you use your Letter of the Law feature, the Reaction Roll is now a 16. Additionally, you can spend a Hope to make a command that would cause obvious harm to the target.

Scales of Justice: When you succeed on an attack against an adversary, you can spend a Hope to add your unmarked Hit Points to your target's and split the difference, with the target taking the larger half.
