Well-Connected
When you arrive in a prominent town or environment, you know somebody who calls this place home. Give them a name, note how you think they could be useful, and choose one fact from the following list:
- They owe me a favor, but they’ll be hard to find.
- They’re going to ask for something in exchange.
- They’re always in a great deal of trouble.
- We used to be together. It’s a long story.
- We didn’t part on great terms. -
Contacts Everywhere
Once per session, you can briefly call on a shady contact. Choose one of the following benefits and describe what brought them here to help you in this moment:
- They provide 1 handful of gold, a unique tool, or a mundane object that the situation requires.
- On your next action roll, their help provides a +3 bonus to the result of your Hope or Fear Die.
- The next time you deal damage, they snipe from the shadows, adding 2d8 to your damage roll.

SPELLCAST TRAIT: Presence
Well-Trained: Decide an organization that you work for and come up with your role within the organization. Choose one of your Experiences. At the beginning of a session, place 5 tokens on this card. You can spend one of these tokens instead of a Hope to utilize that Experience on a roll, regaining the token if you critically succeed. At the end of each session, clear all unspent tokens.
Not Good Enough: When you fail any non-attack action roll, you can spend a Hope to reroll. You can continue spending Hope to reroll as many times as you’d like until you roll a success.
