Cult of Veils

Spellcast Trait: Finesse

Play this subclass if you want to master cunning magical tactics.

Foundation

Elusive Shadow: Gain a permanent +1 to your Evasion.

Veiled Weave: When you roll for spellcasting, you can mark a Stress to add one of the below effects on the spell:

  • Ambush: Add your tier to the spellcast roll or deduce it from the target's reaction roll.

  • Obscure: If the spell does not result in any adversaries marking Hit Points, you can cast it subtly enough that no one can notice you as the source of the spell.

Specialization

Conceal: Make a Spellcast Roll (14). On a success, you can make yourself or an object no larger than your size Cloaked. While Cloaked you remain unseen if you are stationary when an adversary moves to where they would normally see you. When you move into or within an adversary's line of sight or make an attack, you are no longer Cloaked. If the target is an object, it remains Cloaked this way until it takes damage, is used to attack or the scene ends.

Mastery

Impossible to Grasp: Gain a Permanent +1 to your Evasion.

Master Weaver: You can activate your "Veiled Weave" feature multiple times per spellcast roll and you can also choose from the following options:

  • Misdirect: Change the target of your spell after learning whether you succeeded or not but before the GM conveys the result of your action.

  • Confuse: Make 1 target of your spell mark a Stress.

Cult of Whispers

Spellcast Trait: Knowledge

Play the Cult of Whispers if you want to be an enigmatic source of secret knowledge.

Foundation

Book of Whispers: Once per session, you can reveal a secret you know in regards to a challenge you are facing. When you do so you gain an advantage on the next roll that utilizes this secret and choose one of the below options:

  • I know a different path, but it's forbidden.

  • I learned a spell that can help, but it comes with a price.

  • I promised to do something in exchange for this information.

  • This secret curses any soul who learns of it.

  • There's an ancient ritual that can help us but it requires a rare ingredient.

Specialization

Cipher: When an adversary within Close range uses a feature that's not a Passive, you can make a Spellcast Reaction Roll against them. On a success, you cipher that feature, they have to mark a Stress every time they use it until the end of the scene. You can only use this against one adversary at a time.

Expose: Once per rest, you can spend a Hope to reveal the secret weakness of a target, making them temporarily Vulnerable.

Mastery

Master of Whispers: You can use your "Book of Secrets" feature thrice per session and choose one of these options forgoing the advantage:

  • When you mark 1 or more Hit Points, you can reveal a protective sigil and mark 1 less Hit Point.

  • When you make a spellcast roll, you can reveal a dark method to use a d20 as your Fear die.

Cult of Patterns

Spellcast Trait: Knowledge

  • Pattern of Books: If every Domain Card in your loadout is a Grimoire, once per rest you may clear a Stress.

  • Pattern of Light: If every Domain Card in your loadout is a Spell, once per rest you may gain a Hope.

  • Pattern of Stars: If you have one Domain Card of 5 different levels you have access to in a consequent fashion, once per rest you may swap your entire loadout without paying any Recall Cost. Your Arcane Secret card can count for this pattern if you choose.

Mastery

Top Secret Information: Gain an additional Domain Card up to your level.

Sharer of Patterns: If every Domain Card in your loadout shares the same Domain or if all the cards in your loadout share the same level as your Arcane Secret, choose one card in your loadout or your Arcane Secret.

This Shared Pattern:

  • Does not count against your loadout limit.

  • Counts as part of your loadout for any feature or effect that references it.

  • Can be used once.

  • Disappears immediately after it is used or when you next take a rest or when you use this feature again.
