+Being a Lunatic does not actually require a character to literally be crazy; a sufficient weirdness, unusual mindset or any similar sort of mental otherness works just as well. Like all archetypes in the game, the rules here are meant to help simulate playing a fictional character and are not a reflection of how mental health works in the real world. Be sensible in your portrayal of insensible characters, please.

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Medium Awareness:** You're vaguely aware of a startling truth: your world is fictional, and everyone in it (yourself included) is controlled by extrauniversal beings for the purposes of entertainment. Sometimes you can catch glimpses of this world that are useful to you. At any time, you (the adventurer) can learn a single useful piece of information that you (the player) know. You will never be able to explain exactly how you know it to any other creature that does not also have the Metagame ability, but you can act upon it freely. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Learning information from your player costs 1 Mojo per piece of useful information. |

-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Weird Theories:** You are a font of bizarre ideas about how the world works, which leads most to simply ignore you... except sometimes, against all odds, you're actually right. As an action, you may speak a "fact" that you totally make up about the campaign world or the creatures in it, which can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mad Insights:** Roll a die whenever you use this ability to state a "fact". If the result is good enough, then the "fact" turns out to be an actual fact and is considered 100% canon from that point forward. Sort of plausible "facts" are true on a roll of 9+, while highly improbable "facts" are only true on a roll of 12. Flat-out impossible or stupid-in-the-not-fun-way "facts" are never true. The referee will tell you what kind of "fact" yours is before you roll. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Outside Fate:** The die roll made to determine whether a "fact" is true or not is not a trigger die and thus cannot be affected or manipulated by any effect that alters trigger die results. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Factfinding:** You cannot use this ability to prove things that are demonstrably false, including things that have previously failed the die roll when used with this ability. You have to come up with new, interesting "facts" to use with this ability each time. If you or any other player remembers you having tried a particular "fact" before and it failing, you cannot ever re-try that fact with this ability. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Every time you use this ability to declare a "fact", you must spend 1 Mojo. This cost applies whether or not it turned out to be true. |

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mr. Toad:** You're prone to manic episodes where you pick up respectable skill in a given area, only to later forget everything as you move on to the next big obsession. At the beginning of each session, you gain access to a random new archetype and one advanced ability from it of your choice for the duration of the session. This new archetype and ability are an exception to the normal rule that you may only have one archetype/ability per level. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**How Pedestrian:** You must choose which archetype Wildcard grants access to randomly from all the archetypes that have been unlocked in your campaign world. If you randomly select an archetype that you already have at least one level in, reroll (you never have Wildcard experiences with things you're familiar with already). You have free choice over which advanced ability you gain access to from this archetype, however. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**On To the Next Thing:** Your random new archetype and ability disappear and are replaced with a new archetype+ability after every session, even if you've grown fond of your Wildcard ability and would rather keep it. You can always go learn it properly the old-fashioned way next time you level up, though. |
