Starting Moves

Weapon Master

You're a veteran of a hundred scraps. You know your way around an armory. You know what works for you and what doesn't. You've come to specialize in a certain type of weapon. Whether it's a greatsword, a rapier, or a halberd, you can use the weapon with skill unmatched by most others. You can choose one type of weapon in which you specialize from the Weapon page (Basic Play Guides>Coins and Equipment>Weapons). If the weapon you chose isn't already 2 weight, make it 2 weight. When you use weapons of this type, you gain these benefits:

Choose two enhancements.

Hooks and Spikes: Add Messy tag but +1 Weight
Perfectly Weighted. Add precise tag.
Huge: Add forceful tag but +1 weight.

Choose its appearance:

Ancient and Worn, Blood-stained, Unblemished, Sinister, Ornate

(Note: Melee weapons only. No ranged weapons, no improvised weapons, no fists! Also, if you dual wield, the bonus of the weapon will only apply once.)

Armored

You ignore the Clumsy tag on any armor you wear.

Bend Bars, Lift Gates

Standard

When you are unbound and have a full range of motion for your limbs (e.g. you are not shackled, chained, or in a tight space), you can use pure strength to destroy an inanimate obstacle, roll+STR. You are unable to Bend Bars, Lift Gates when you have the 'weak' debility.

* On a 10+, choose 2.

* On a 7-9, choose 3.

* On a 6- gain the 'weak' debility.

A lot of noise is made. SOMEONE heard that!
Something of value is damaged, or you gain the Weak debility.
It takes a very long time for you to work at it.
You can fix the thing again without a lot of effort.

Second Wind

Free

Once during combat, you may draw on your experience as a veteran combatant to regain your will to fight. Roll 2d6+CON:
On a 10+ choose 2
On a 7-9 choose 1
On a miss, you have overextended yourself. Your will to fight is sapped. You tire and become Vulnerable.
Heal 1d6 damage on yourself (you cannot use moves that give additional healing with this)
Remove one debility or disease from yourself
Remove one curse

When you gain a level from 2–5, you may choose one of these moves:

Total Mastery

You can take the third enhancement for your chosen weapon type under Weapon Master. In addition, your weapon will radiate a soft light when it is near a creature type of your choice (within 40 meters).

Improved Weapon

Requires: Weapon Master

When you have access to a forge or a whetstone, you can draw on your familiarity with it to increase its sharpness and penetrating power. Through this process, add +1 to your weapon's damage modifier. This stacks with Bastard/Biting tags. In addition, your weapon will radiate a soft light when it is near a creature type of your choice (within 40 meters).
