 Core Rules

Dice

You narrate your character’s actions in first-person, like

“I eat the egg.” But if the action’s risky or dramatic,
the GM can have you roll a skill + a stat + a d20.
If the result is high enough (as determined by the
GM), you succeed. If it’s a natural 20, you crit—you
succeed plus you do something cool. If it’s a natural 1,
you crit-fail—you fail and something awful happens.

Stats

⭢ Roll 2d4 minus 4 for each stat (in any order)—

Strength • Force, physical power, and inertia.
Dexterity • Coordination, quickness, precision.
Constitution • Health, grit, resilience under stress.
Intelligence • Memory, calculation, factual recall.
Wisdom • Senses, intuition, pattern recognition.
Charisma • Presence, personality, and influence.
⭢ If your total stats add up to less than 5, bump one stat
to +4. If they add up to 11 or more, drop one stat to -4.

Skills

⭢ Choose two skills. You start with a +3 bonus in each.

To roll a skill, roll a d20, add your bonus to that
skill, and add one of its default stats (of your choice).

2 Core Rules
For example, if the GM asks you to roll Appraise, roll a
d20 + your Appraise bonus + your INT or WIS.
The skills and their default stat(s)—
INT/WIS • Appraise, knowing an item.
INT • Arcana, knowing magic.
STR/DEX • Athletics, moving your body.
STR/DEX • Attack, striking in melee.
CON/CHA • Comeliness, being beautiful.
CON/WIS • Concentration, focusing your attention.
DEX/INT • Craft, making/using an item.
CON • Endurance, resisting stress.
STR • Grab, grabbing/holding on.
STR • Heavy Attack, swinging big.
STR/WIS • Husbandry, impelling an animal.
WIS/CHA • Insight, reading someone.
STR/CHA • Intimidation, scaring someone.
INT • Lore, knowing history.
None • Luck, being fortunate.
CON/INT • Medicine, knowing the body.
INT/WIS • Nature, knowing the earth.
WIS • Perception, being aware.
DEX/CHA • Performance, enthralling someone.
CHA • Persuasion, convincing someone.
DEX • Ranged Attack, firing a projectile.
DEX • Sleight of Hand, nimbly using hands.
DEX/CON • Stealth, hiding/avoiding notice.
CHA • Streetwise, finding an NPC or place.
STR/INT • Warfare, identifying violence.

3
 Tags & Flaws

Tags are short, evocative phrases that describe your

past, status, outlook, or unique talents. You can spend
each tag once per session to reroll a relevant roll.
For example, you could spend—
I Did The Math to reroll a roll to gamble, stick
to a plan, calculate blast radius, or stay logical.
Masons’ Union Rep to assess stonework, rally
a group, or speak with blue-collar credibility.
Kill The Buddha to confront authority, reject
an illusion, embody a paradox, or be irreverent.
Skincare Girlie to identify a substance, protect
your skin, notice stress, or project confidence.
Thick Neck to intimidate with your presence,
no-sell a strike/choke, or seem like a meathead.
Flaws are like tags but you don’t spend them—the GM
uses your flaws to tempt, distract, and needle you.
If you’ve got an idea for a tag/flaw but it feels
thin, consider the experience that shaped it—instead
of Good Swimmer, consider Dated A Mermaid. Instead
of Complicated Past, consider Warlock’s Ex-Fiancee.
⭢ Leave your tags and flaws blank for now. Write one
tag or flaw each session until you have two of each.
During those sessions you may write tags/flaws
on the fly as a reaction to some emergent failure—for
example, if you fail a roll to resist panic, you can write
Fever Ward Nurse then spend it to reroll the failure.

4 Core Rules
Defenses & Saves

You’ve got three more skills: defenses. When something

tries to hurt you, roll one of these:
STR/CON • Fortitude, tanking a hit.
DEX/WIS • Reflex, dodging a hit.
INT/CHA • Will, resisting mental/magical attack.
If you’d succeed with Reflex, you dodge—move 1 space
out of the way of the hit. If you can’t, you fail instead.
A save is a defense roll to resist a persistent danger
(like poison, fire, confusion). Saves succeed on a 16+.

Encumbrance

Encumbrance is tracked in stone—one stone is ◆—and

is less a measure of an object’s sheer weight than it is a
measure of how annoying that object is to carry.
You can carry up to 2 + STR stone (minimum ◆◆). ⭠
Weapons and armor that you’re wearing don’t count.
Everything else goes in your pack and counts against
your limit. Searching your pack takes an action.
You can wear three 0-stone items on your belt.
Grabbing something from a belt takes a minor action.
Some example encumbrances—
0-stone: Food, torches, daggers, potions, hand
tools, and other small handy items.
◆: Most weapons, ropes, bundles, delicate tools.
◆◆: Greatswords, people, imbalanced loads.

5
 Weapons

⭢ Pick a weapon. Each is noted here with its encumbrance,

damage die, and its keywords or other bonuses.
Club ◆ d6 Breach 1
Crossbow ◆ d6 Range 5
Dagger d4 Thrown
Greataxe ◆◆ d10 Heavy, Reach
Greathammer ◆◆ d10 Heavy, Breach 3
Greatsword ◆◆ d12 Heavy
Halberd ◆ d8 Heavy, Reach
Handaxe ◆ d6 Versatile, Thrown
Javelin ◆ d6 Reach, Thrown
Longbow ◆ 2d4 Range 8
Longsword ◆ d8 Versatile, +1 Reflex
Mace ◆ d6 Breach 2
Rapier ◆ 2d4 +1 Reflex
Shield ◆ 1 +1 Fortitude
Shortsword ◆ d6 Versatile
Spear ◆ 2d4 Heavy, Reach
Staff ◆ d6 Versatile, Reach
Torch d4 causes fire
Unarmed d4
Whip d6 Reach, can Grab
Whenever you succeed with an attack, roll the weapon’s
damage die and add the stat you added to the attack
roll (usually STR or DEX)—it deals that much damage.
When an attack crits, it deals double damage.

6 Core Rules
The weapon keywords—
Versatile. You may roll Heavy Attack with this
in both hands to deal +2 damage.
Heavy. You must roll Heavy Attack with this in
both hands; it deals +2 damage.
Breach X. If the target successfully defends
with Fortitude, this deals X damage anyway.
Reach. You can use this to attack targets up to
two spaces away (ten feet).
Range X. You roll Ranged Attack with this. Its
maximum range is X spaces (X × 5 feet).
Thrown. You can throw this: roll Ranged Attack;
maximum range is STR spaces (minimum 2).

Armor

Describe your starting armor/outfit and come up with ⭠

the defense bonuses and penalties it grants, which
must total +3 (set each defense from -2 to +4).
You can’t benefit from two armors/outfits at once.
Some example starting armor/outfits—
Fort. Ref. Will
Basic Leather. +1 +1 +1
Eveningwear. +0 +0 +3
Silk Brocade. +1 +3 -1
Academicals. +2 -2 +3
Leather Scale. +3 -2 +2 ◆
Halfplate. +4 -2 +1 ◆◆

7
 Travel Pack

⭢ Choose six starting items from the following list. You

also have a pack, bedroll, rations, and 3d10 silver.
banner fan rope (50’)
beer hammer sewing kit
bleach honey smoking pipe
bucket incense spices
candles instrument sweet hat
candy journal teapot
cards lantern ten foot pole
cigarettes liquor umbrella
cooking pot makeup weed
dice mirror whetstone
dye pen & paper wig
eyeglasses perfume wine

Unique Item

⭢ Come up with a unique item—a tool no one else has,

something you couldn’t just buy at a store (like a refilling
flare gun, a telescoping ladder, an indestructible
taxidermied cat, command-word mousetraps, stickers
that make objects 50lb lighter, a unicorn).
A great unique item is strange, personal, useful,
and flexible. It shouldn’t replace a skill roll nor grant
a numerical bonus, but should reward clever use and
make problem-solving fun (moreso than just optimal).

8 Core Rules
Race

Pick a race and come up with your character’s name. ⭠

Your race doesn’t affect your rolls.
Dwarves are stout, healthy, hierarchical, and precise.
Example dwarf names—
Cassia Milkweed, Frank Seasalt, Hal Greengate,
Helen Blackmast, Hiram Homebody, Leopold
Rosebeard, Papa Gullfist, Wilhelmina Wellmet.
Elves are tall, highly-curated, competitive, and utopian.
Example elf names—
Cendre Lazare, Fain Fallstar, Heron Demarche,
Ione Horn, Lior Mathilde, Ninon Horn, Robin
Reveille, Rosny Mazarine, Taranis Arterian.
Goblins are green, candid, generous, and un-squeamish.
Example goblin names—
Baby, Beth, Big Babs, Crick, Dog Pete, Egg,
Goblin Tammy, Gum, Hoss, Little Brain, Mom,
Narnar, Nudie, Picky, Prune, Tack, Viv, Wash.
Humans are folksy, restless, mortal, and hard-working.
Example human names—
Bell Darcy, Can Carson, Clary Coronade, Dally
Anthem, Early Mercer, Ed Mason, Eula Root,
Goose Green, Jim Coy, Jolly Diaz, June Pocket.
These are the primary races of the Wreath, the game’s
default setting, and this list isn’t exhaustive. You (or
your GM) can modify these races, invent your own, or
swap them out entirely to fit your game’s setting.

9
 Classes

⭢ Pick a class and one of its three subclasses. You get the

11
 Combat

When a fight starts, the GM chooses who goes first.

Then each player takes a turn, passing to the left—
that’s one round (about five seconds, within the fiction).
On your turn you can take one action, one minor
action, move, and talk. Actions take time and intent:
attack, roll a skill, use magic, search a bag,
ready an action, take another minor action,
move again, or say more than six words.
Minor actions are quicker and/or incidental, you
can take a minor action while doing something else:
open a book, sit, grab something from a belt.
On your turn you can move spaces equal to your
speed. One space is five feet. Entering rough terrain
(like thick mud, steep slopes, or panicked crowds) costs
two spaces. Spaces occupied by allies are rough terrain
and you can’t end your turn there. Swimming, crawling,
or climbing into a space also costs two spaces.
⭢ Your speed is 4 (four spaces, about 20’ per turn).
You can talk on your turn, saying up to six words,
then another player can reply with up to six words.
This should sound like normal speech.
To ready an action, describe a trigger (something
observable that might happen) and a response (one
action). When you observe the trigger before your next
turn, you can immediately respond as described (no
action cost, once per round).

12 Core Rules
HP, Injury, and Death

Your max HP is 15 + your CON + twice your level. ⭠

When you rest for the night, you heal 6 HP.
You have 3 injury slots. When you take 8+ damage ⭠
at once, or drop to 0 HP, or drop below -10 HP, record
a relevant injury in an empty slot. If you can’t, you
die. Injuries don’t heal from rest, they always require
some treatment. Record injuries in your third slot as
potentially-lethal (like gut wound or magic rot).
Enemies (except bosses) die if their HP drops to 0.

Miscellaneous Rules

To add an NPC to the party, note their name and race

or species, then pick two skills that they roll with a +3.
When the party finds a useful document, the GM
states its title, then one designated reader can ask the
GM three questions that the text could answer.
Anyone can cast 3 cantrips/day (if they know any).

Advancement

When you beat a boss (or similar), you level up to a max

of level 10, increasing your HP by 2. Then choose—gain
a black feature from your class or subclass, or increase
two skills by 2, or increase a stat by 1.
Your GM may offer alternate advancement options.

13
Artificer

Arts
You have a toolbox containing ten items chosen from
the following list. You repair or replace lost, consumed,
or broken toolbox items (hereafter tools) when you rest.
adhesive lard scale
ball bearings lock & key shears
bells/chimes magnets shovel
block & tackle mallet silk thread
calipers mirror small barrel
canvas tarp needles soap
compass parchment thick gloves
drill pickaxe timepiece
fishing net pitons tongs
flour pliers water jug
grappling hook pole (10’) wax
hammer rope (50’) whetstone
ladle ruler whistle
lantern saw wire (100’)

Crafts
You always crit Craft rolls to make/fix something if you
describe a plausible method and you have the parts.
You can roll Craft or Streetwise to find an item by
function (like "something that can hold water").
Increase Appraise or Craft by 2.

14 Artificer
Anti-Magic______________________________ 1
If you have this feature, all magic is loud and all spells
create visible projectiles.
Add chalk to your toolbox. You can destroy it to
make a chalk cloud that fills your space for 30 seconds.
Magic projectiles hit the cloud (and don't pass through).
The cloud clings lightly to illusions, clothes, and paper,
obscuring text. Breathing it breaks concentration.

Bionic_________________________________ 2
You have another unique item—a prosthesis. You know
the cantrip Sleeve. You can cast it on a tool as a minor
action without counting against your cantrips-per-day.
Sleeve. Stash or retrieve an item you’re holding.
Stashed items have weight but don’t take up
space. A thorough search finds your stash.

Fast & Loose____________________________ 3

You have two more unique items—each is single-use.
Add them to your toolbox. You have the following item:
Immovable Rod. ◆ Twist to fix in place (minor
action). While fixed, resists forces up to 4 tons.

Knight-Magister__________________________ 4
You are a Knight-Magister, a materials engineer in the
Queen’s service. It’s a capital offense to hurt you.
If you’d roll Appraise on a material, don’t roll—you
succeed, and you can spend any tag to add a detail to it.

15
Loupe_________________________________ 5
When you rest you can identify an item, learning its
effects (magical or otherwise). If it’s a liquid, you also
learn its ingredients and the process to recreate it.
Increase Appraise by 2 or any skill by 1.

Scavenger______________________________ 6
If you're missing a vital component (as in Crafts), you
can break 3d10 tools to make a single-use component.
Increase Craft by 2 or any skill by 1.

Sensitive_______________________________ 7
Add the following items to your toolbox:
bells that chime when they hear a bell
copper wire that heats near magic
fifty tiny mirrors and utility putty
fuse that ignites when it hears noise nearby
matches that ignite when not level
rat traps that snap when the light changes
thin but sturdy black twine (300’)
If an ally would take damage from something you built,
reduce the damage to 1.

Winch_________________________________ 8
Your toolbox contains two handheld winches, powerful
mechanical reels. A winch can spool 150 feet of rope
at up to ten feet per second, hauling up to ten stone.
Your ropes don’t break (unless you want them to).

16 Artificer
17
Contractor

Workshop
You have a workshop where you can reverse-engineer,
repair, prototype, and manufacture any mundane item
at scale. Come up with its location and specialty.
Your workshop employs an apprentice, an NPC
who fulfills your requests and keeps the shop supplied
with wood, stone, metal, brick, glass, leather, plaster,
fabric, ink, rope, glue, wax, charcoal, and all the tools
you’d need to work those materials. Give them a name.
Add the following to your toolbox:
cement mix floor jack
chalk line nail
chisel square
clamps tape measure
folding ladder (20’) transit level

Carpenter______________________________ 1
Whenever you come to a man-made place, you may add
a detail to the scene about its construction. You can
spend any tag to add two more such details.

Clientele_______________________________ 2
When someone rolls Streetwise to find an NPC, you can
spend any tag to have them succeed—they happen to
find one of your satisfied customers.
Increase Concentration by 2 or any skill by 1.

18 Contractor | Artificer
Condensed Matter_________________________ 3
Choose a rare material from the following list. Your
workshop maintains a small supply and works it ably.
Adamantine. Ultra hard, heatproof metal. Very
magnetic, if you run a current through it.
Black Milkwood. Dense, oily hardwood. Never
rots or swells. Sinks in water. Tastes bitter.
Leafwood. Laminated leaf-paper wood, unrolls
into natural parchment that won’t burn or soak.
Mithril. Shiny metal, light as ash. Keeps bugs
away, never rusts. Heats and cools quickly.
Queensrock. A stiff honey-wax, emits warmth
and nutrients. After shaping, it heals itself.
Silver. Soft and heavy precious metal. Seems to
exhaust magical beasts and the undead.
White Steel. Metal with an apparent knack for
geometry, makes for very straight lines.
Witchlead. Flaky gray poisonstone, warm to the
touch. Sickens small animals, causes sunburns.

Fortification_____________________________ 4
When a fight starts indoors, you add two tactical details
to the scene (defensible positions, cover, high ground,
hazards, hiding places, rough terrain, or shortcuts/fun
ways to get around). Then you can spend any tag to add
two more such details.

19
Mule__________________________________ 5
You have a good mule. It doesn’t fight but it carries you
and your stuff (ignoring encumbrance, within reason).
It remembers everywhere it’s been and can safely travel
long distances by itself when commanded.
Every town has a workshop like yours. At workshops
you’re recognized as a peer; the shop apprentice works
for you as if the workshop were your own.

Sapper_________________________________ 6
You can tell by looking how to disable, dismantle,
or sabotage any mundane, mechanical, or structural
element of the scene.
When someone rolls Reflex outside of a fight, you
can spend any tag to have them reroll it.

Stud__________________________________ 7
Once per scene when you knock on an unfamiliar object
or surface you learn its thickness, material, and what’s
behind it. If it can open, unjam, or otherwise “work,”
you can spend any tag as you knock to activate it.

Titan__________________________________ 8
Your workshop has a second apprentice, a mill, and
a storefront. You mass-produce a specific item (like
bricks, daggers, bottles, chocolate). Add that item to
your toolbox and write a bonus tag related to it.
Merchants and guild-types treat you with respect.

20 Contractor | Artificer
Fixer

Evidence
You’re a professional in a magic-adjacent trade. Name
your employer and write a bonus tag related to your
area of expertise (like Anomaly Cleanup, Vampire
Handler, Memory Repo, Friend to Unicorns).
Your employer has fixers in every town. When you
roll Streetwise to find a fixer you always succeed, but
higher results find better resources and information.
When you state a theory about a scene, you can
spend any tag to add a clue or piece of evidence to the
scene to support or contradict it (but not to definitively
prove or disprove it).
Add the following to your toolbox:
cloth rags plaster powder
glass vials pocketwatch
gold and silver leaf scale
lockpicks tweezers
organic solvent water jug

Agent_________________________________ 1
Whenever you meet with a fixer, you can replace any or
all of your tools (choosing new items from your lists).
If you’d fail with Arcana or Will, you can spend
any tag to succeed instead, accepting some extra cost
or complication.

Fixer | Artificer 21
Apostate_______________________________ 2
You have the following magic items:
Alcomendra’s White. One hundred feet of light
silk rope. While encircled by it, using magic
instead creates a harmless puff of chalk dust.
Beetle Colony. A small wooden box of beetles
and black mulch. The beetle count increases by
1 each day (max 20). Eating a beetle neutralizes
poisoning and causes magic senses (divination,
any magic that “sees” or similar) to perceive
you as a harmless silkworm until dawn.

Camera________________________________ 3
Add flash powder, lenses, and photo paper to your
toolbox. You have the following item:
Instant Camera. Palm-sized device with a lens
and a flash bulb. Press its button (minor action)
to print onto photo paper whatever the camera
sees. It can’t see illusions. The flash deals 1
damage to anyone concentrating on a spell.

Dog___________________________________ 4
You can’t be affected by cantrips.
If someone has used magic within the hour, you can
smell it on them. When you talk with an NPC magic
user for a minute you can identify any magic items or
tools they use, learning their effects.

22 Fixer | Artificer
Ferreter________________________________ 5
If you’d roll either Arcana or Warfare on a magic user,
you can roll the other skill instead. If you do, you can
ask the GM up to three questions about the target’s
magic. You needn’t ask all three questions at once.
Increase Arcana by 2 or any skill by 1.

Meddler________________________________ 6
When you hide, fabricate, or destroy evidence, you
never leave any evidence of your tampering.
When you roll Streetwise to find a client, detective,
fixer, mercenary, rogue, or witness, you always succeed,
but higher results find more professional NPCs.

Phonograph_____________________________ 7
You have the following item:
Audio Recorder. Brick-sized box with a crank,
stylus, and diaphragm. Press its button (minor
action) to record or play back up to two minutes
of audio. It won’t play back lies or illusions.

Spleen_________________________________ 8
When someone attempts to use magic to affect your
mind or learn something about you, you can force them
to make a Will save or the magic goes awry somehow.
When you succeed with Arcana, you can ask the
GM about the magic’s deep functions or failure modes.
You can spend any tag to add a detail to the answer.

23
Witch

Gunsmith
You are a witch, a daughter of the esoteric coven at
Bed-of-Roses. Add the following to your toolbox:
ammunition incense
cauldron lead
charcoal mortar and pestle
flask of oil paint pots
gunpowder worms

You have built a gun. Anyone who takes it from you

is cursed. Your gun’s damage dice explode. Choose one:
Belly Gun. d4+3
Range 4. This is never found if you’re searched.
Hits are crits against surprised enemies.
Brace of Pistols. d6
Range 6. When you fire a pistol, you can fire a
pistol in another hand as a minor action.
Grenade Launcher. 3d4 ◆
Range 4. Shells explode on impact, adjacent
targets choose: take 1d4 damage or become
deafened. Holds 3 shells, reload as an action.
Long Nose Revolver. d12
Range 6. Holds 6 rounds, reload as an action.
Increase its crit range by 1 per empty chamber.

24 Witch | Artificer
 Rifle. d10 ◆
Range 11. Crits with readied attacks. Can be
ridden like a broom with a fly speed of 4.
Rotary Gun. 2d6 ◆◆
Range 6. +4 to hit. Can’t crit. Can only fire
after spinning up (as an action).
Sawed-off Shotgun. 3d4+1 ◆
Range 2. Breach 4. When you crit, the target
takes a potentially-lethal injury.
Silenced Pistol. d8+2
Range 4. Firing doesn’t attract attention.
Shotgun. 2d6+1 ◆
Range 4. Grants +1 Reflex.

Alternate Fire____________________________ 1
You roll twice (keep the highest) to break an object
with Ranged Attack. When you attack with a gun,
you can choose for the attack to be nonlethal, or for
the projectile to create a plume of smoke along its
trajectory, or for the projectile to be hot enough to
start a fire.

Ballistic________________________________ 2
You can load any small object into your gun as a minor
action. (The object should feasibly fit through a three-
inch bore.) Your next shot fires the object.
Increase Ranged Attack by 2 or any skill by 1.

25
Charms________________________________ 3
You have three charms—one each for Fortitude, Reflex,
and Will. Each grants the holder +5 to saves with that
charm’s defense and affects the holder’s body in a way
you name (like warming the blood, coloring the hair).

Familiar________________________________ 4
Add a sapient animal NPC to the party—your familiar.
It’s not much of a fighter but it’ll help however it can.

Hag___________________________________ 5
You have another unique item—something powered by
explosions. Reduce incoming damage from explosions
(or similar) to 1. You have a swim speed of 4.
Add rope (100’) and a second gun to your toolbox.

Outlaw_________________________________ 6

lethal injury. You know the following cantrip:
Witchcraft. Speak a two-word phrase to define
some small magic, something brief and strange
(like burning question, swan song, code switch).
Then roll Arcana, Luck, and Will. Assign the
results to the magic’s shape, power, and your
control—that is, how the magic manifests, how
much it affects the world, and how precisely
you direct it. Work with the GM to interpret
what happens.

Will save vs 14). If they fail, they’ll try to surrender or

someone (neither obviously true nor false). The rumor

Counselor_______________________________ 5

mechanisms, attachment patterns, or fixations.
NPCs won’t flee or start a fight during conversation.

Gain a third saint. During the first few sessions, replace
your saints' morals with your dogma—a contentious
belief about metaphysics, death, morality, divinity,
identity, and/or yourself.
Name your us and them: the types of people drawn
to your dogma and the kind who reject it (like dropouts,
teens, loners). NPCs who are us/them react strongly
to you. Your magic can’t hurt us and can’t help them.
Some example dogmas with us/them—
From mindset flows all. Death is mental block.
Us: Entrepreneurs. Them: Civil servants.
I am god. What I endure, you are spared.
Us: Caregivers, the spiraling. Them: Therapists.
Virtue is built by struggle. Comfort is cowardice.
Us: Explorers. Them: Corporate types, cowards.
All is false, all meaningless. Vibes reign.
Us: Twenty-somethings. Them: The humorless.

Apologetics_____________________________ 1
Rewrite two of your spells to do (roughly) the opposite
of what’s written. Then work with the GM to write a
new spell that demonstrates or justifies your dogma
and add it to your third saint’s spell list.

50 Heretic | Cleric
Banishment_____________________________ 2
Undead and spirits see you as a Cleric and understand
your words. If you succeed with Intimidation against a
spirit or undead creature, you crit.
Add the following to your second saint’s spell list:
Turn Undead. Each undead that can see you
must choose—take 6 damage or become scared
(can’t defend with Fortitude).

Diorthosis______________________________ 3
You don’t take damage from falling.
Add the following to your third saint’s spell list:
Revive. Target a body you saw die. It rises with
1 HP, confused (it can’t tell friend from foe) and
silenced (it can’t talk or clearly communicate).
If it’s a PC or one of us, confusion and silence
end at the end of the scene. It gains an injury
without a slot: Undead. While undead it can’t
die from injuries but decomposes as though
dead, gaining decay injuries as the GM sees fit.

Ecclesia________________________________ 4
The first time you roll Streetwise to find one of us in
a city you always succeed—higher results find more
resourceful NPCs. While in town they’ll help however
they can (with errands, knowledge, introductions, etc.)
You can roll Streetwise to find a group of us.
During downtime, you always draw a crowd of us.

51
Interpellation ____________________________ 5
Dogs, rodents, and party NPCs always do exactly as you
command. Add two NPCs to the party, each one of us.

Monasticism_____________________________ 6

roll to attempt it. If it requires inhuman skill, gain one
spiritual injury. If it’s illogical or breaks the laws of
nature, gain three spiritual injuries. The GM sets the
difficulty (from 12 to 24), then you roll Medicine.
Difficulty examples—
normal Medicine:
12 • stop a bleed
16 • set a compound fracture
20 • amputate a limb
24 • fix a broken spine
for one spiritual injury:
12 • close a wound blind
16 • stop a stroke barehanded
20 • patch a split eye
24 • reattach a head
for three spiritual injuries:
12 • cauterize a leaking dream
16 • reset a moral compass
20 • transfuse a memory
24 • graft a soul
You can un-mark a marked skill to use this feature
with your other marked skill instead of with Medicine.

52 Heretic | Cleric
Noumenon______________________________ 7
You can’t be blinded nor become invisible.
Add the following to your third saint’s spell list:
Speak With Dead. Target a corpse within 10’.
You can breathe into it up to three times—as
it exhales it answers the last question it heard.
It can’t lie, but it knows only what it knew in
life. This spell fails if the corpse is too damaged
to hold air, couldn’t speak in life, is blessed, or
has been affected by this spell before.

Performativity___________________________ 8
When you rest, you can ready a spell until dusk. Pick a
spell and name a trigger. When you observe the trigger,
you cast the spell instantly without using an action.
During a rest you can pray for aid from one of your
saints. Saints respond more generously to prayers that
closely align with their patronage. Prayers are usually
answered in nebulous ways, often easily-mistaken for
a run of good luck.
Add the following to your third saint’s spell list:
Fools-and-Folly. A target can choose to assert
their next failed roll today—they reroll until
they succeed, taking 3 fire damage each time.
Harm/Heal. Transfer a physical injury between
yourself and a target.
Z/𝑛Z. Negate all magic in your space.

53
Scholar

Truth

structure wherever you go. NPCs see you as a wise and
fair judge, arbitrator, or legal advisor.
Increase Warfare by 2 or any skill by 1.

you as clever and well-read.
If you’d add CHA to a roll, you can spend any tag
to roll a different skill with INT instead.

54 Scholar | Cleric
Halo__________________________________ 4

Concept
Write a bonus tag named for two fictional characters
(like Pollyanna Lancelot, Zuko Mulder, Matilda Söze).

Direction
At the start of the session, the GM will forewarn you of
this session’s first problem.

during their routine, then introduce the first problem.
Direction duty rotates to the left each session. When
the GM directs, they present an NPC’s perspective.
Increase Comeliness or Luck by 2.

Ensemble_______________________________ 1
Each PC has Concept.
During the first few sessions, each player adds an
NPC to the party and writes them a Concept-tag.
At camp, anyone can swap to a party NPC, playing
as that character. Their previously-active character
becomes a party NPC and stays safely at camp.
When an NPC first becomes a PC they roll stats

During that character's first few sessions as a PC, their
player writes their tags and flaws as normal.

then gain inspiration (max 1). PCs can spend inspiration
to reroll anything.
When a PC would direct, they can instead frame
a short two-hander scene with another PC—they

emotion, relationship, or plan, both gain inspiration.

(max 1). You can write another script after you direct.

Vignette________________________________ 8
At the end of each session, name an NPC and prompt a

still features combat, dungeons, horror, intrigue, etc.

Breakthrough____________________________ 2
Instead of leveling up after a boss fight, you level up
during the boss fight, when all seems lost.
You can’t die unless it’d resolve your story.

spring (or a bath, pool, spa, beach, etc.) to the route.
