Protection | plus-circlePawn of Fate: Whether by prophecy, divine meddling, shadowy plotting or sheer bad luck you happen to be The Chosen One. You have a grand destiny to fulfill (whether you want to or not), and almost nothing can keep you from it. Pick a grand task to serve as your destiny, or if you're not sure you can use the Destiny Table below for inspiration. As usual, your referee has the ability to veto your destiny. plus-circlePlot Armor: Unless and until your destiny is fulfilled, you cannot die or be killed. If you would normally die as part of your normal adventuring, you somehow miraculously survive instead and show up alive with 1 Vitality as soon as the immediate danger is past. minus-circleBook of Tears: Make a list of things your Chosen adventurer loves, like “my husband”, “my secondhand furniture business”, or “my ability to walk unassisted.” Try to put down at least three or four things. Every time you survive something that should have killed you, you lose one of these things permanently and irreversibly (either directly as a result of your survival or as a seemingly cruel coincidence). The referee gets to choose what exactly you lose. If your list doesn't have anything impactful enough on it, the referee can come up with something else (and if nothing else comes to mind, the loss of all the Chosen's inventory items and worldly possessions can do the trick). plus-circleNo Cascade Tragedies: No matter how many times you cheat death, you need only pay the sacrificial price a maximum of once per session. minus-circleTragic End: Fate is uncaring and exploitative. When the Chosen manages to finally succeed in fulfilling their destiny, they die (either as part of their success or immediately afterwards). Dead Chosen cannot be returned to life by any means. minus-circleFate is Calling: You can only gain XP during/after a session if you did something during that session directly related to fulfilling your destiny. |
