Unsolicited Advice
Gauncho cannot help but critique the battlefield positioning and spellcasting technique of everyone around him. Once per combat, when you or an ally within Close range makes an action roll and fails, you can mark 1 Stress to have Gauncho shout a condescending, yet surprisingly astute, tactical correction. The target may instantly reroll the action but must keep the new result. If the reroll results in a Success with Fear, Gauncho spends the rest of the scene complaining that they "didn't do it exactly how he said to."

About this weapon

A weathered, gnarled staff topped with a remarkably expressive shrunken skull. Gauncho claims to have been a master tactician, a legendary arcanist, and a renowned lover in his past life. Mostly, he’s just a loudmouth who doesn’t know when to shut up—but occasionally, he’s actually right.
