-  * become a non-person, your deeds are selectively forgotten or ignored. like anti-reputation. no fingerprints, no id, no name on file, like you don't exist.
-  * can choose to be avoided/shunned/left alone
-  * save allies from death?
-  * take the sole blame for dark deeds, allies keep unsullied reputations.
-actually, let's evolve this into 'spook' or 'faceless'
-  * have undefined number of safe houses in various places, can "reveal" one by spending supplies.
-  * make somebody forget you, or at least be unidentifiable to them later. nobody ever sees your face. can cause total forgetfulness of your existence by spending 1 mojo
-  * not even you know who you are, so everything you say is both lies and the truth. multiple choice past
-  * take the Unreadable ability from Trickster, give it something else
-  * same with zero ability from charlatan (make lucky guesses about who/what you're impersonating by spending mojo?)
-  * the operative from serenity- no name or rank, captain nemo. batman/the joker. the silence. diavolo.
-  * successor- if killed or retired, your next character gets Faceless keystones for free and is treated as the same character
-  * secret agenda- somehow reward player for making decisions that make little initial sense?
-  * I Was There- can reveal yourself to have been a first-hand witness to a past event somehow
-can replace known classes/abilities by using a keystone
-safehouses good idea, what else could be "revealed" on demand? contacts? memberships in various societies? generic "something hard to get"? or maybe safehouses can optionally mimic an establishment (randomly drawn from a list). yeah.

+Faceless creatures wear masks- either figuratively or literally, if you prefer. This makes the archetype an excellent choice for anyone that's engaged in espionage or deep-cover work, or anyone else that simply wishes to reap the benefits of having an unreadable (and therefore pliable) identity. The [[Trickster]] and/or [[Charlatan]] archetypes synergize extremely well with being Faceless if you wish to do a lot of social maneuvering, while if you prefer for your unknowability to be more physical, dramatic and explicitly supernatural you may wish to check out [[Darkseeker]].

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Choose Your Path:** Even destiny itself doesn't quite know what to do with you, and you've taken advantage of this fact. While you're not immune to bad luck by any means, you have the ability to choose your own fate in a way that others can't. At any time as a free action, you may roll five dice to create a "fate pool." Whenever you would have to roll a trigger die for any reason, you select a die result of your choice from your fate pool instead of rolling. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Take Your Lumps:** If you have active dice in your fate pool, you cannot choose to roll any trigger dice naturally until you've used them all. You cannot roll up a new fate pool until you've depleted your current one. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Autopilot Fate:** Using a fate pool is optional. If you do not have an active fate pool, then you can choose to simply roll trigger dice as necessary like everybody else does if that's what you'd rather do. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Fate Interactions:** If you are also a [[Luckster]], you can reroll fate pool results when you use them as if they were regular trigger dice. If you are also an [[Oracle]], your prediction dice are kept separate from your fate pool, but you can pull from either of your choice. If you know the Revocation ability, you can remove any result from your fate pool you want and replace it with your prediction die instead. |
