BOND

STRICTURES

Ignore for one roll by taking 1d3 nonlethal stress

You must honor all deals and promises.
Roll 0d when choosing violence over negotiation.

BOND ABILITIES

  1. When you shake hands with a willing human on a deal or promise, if someone breaks it, they suffer instant death. This applies to you, and both you and your target are aware of the effects.
  2. Gain the Shake defiance. You can use it once a mission.
  3. Your rank 0 ability now applies to executioners and anomalies.
  4. You can use Shake once again during a mission, but if you do, the GM picks the game.

HIGH DEFIANCE

★ SHAKE (1 Scene, Short)

You may spend all your remaining bursts to instantly enforce a game from the list below on yourself and all other humans, anomalies, or executioners in range determined by CAT. Breaking the rules of the game causes excruciating pain, hemorrhaging, and eventually death. As long as the rule applies:

  • For you and allies, actions become harder when you must avoid breaking the rule with your actions.
  • If through your actions you or an ally intentionally breaks the rule, you take 2d3 stress, which cannot be reduced in any way and could inflict injuries as normal.

In return:

  • If the target, through their actions, breaks a rule intentionally, they take 1d3 slashes on their execution tag. Humans are killed instantly. They are aware of this effect.
  • You may set up an ally for free, three times, while the rule is active, and without rolling. Describe how you are taking advantage of the rule. Any normal effects of setup apply to these special setup actions, and you can take them without counting as an action in a conflict scene.

You cannot end this effect early, and it lasts for the scene.
