Tyrant

Social plus-circleStrongarm: By taking a procedure to talk with a subject, you can intimidate them into doing you a favor (like giving you information you want or doing something for you that doesn't put them in danger).

minus-circleNot Real Helpfulness: Intimidated subjects remain helpful and compliant for as long as you're nearby, but will escape/turn on you the moment they get an opportunity. After parting ways, anybody you've intimidated will consider you an enemy and treat you as such.

minus-circleCheck: Roll a trigger die whenever you intimidate somebody. If the result is 9+, you succeed. Otherwise, they aren't impressed by you and you cannot intimidate them using this ability for the remainder of the current session.

minus-circlePrerequisites: In order to intimidate a subject, at least one of the following conditions must be true:
- The subject is your own level or lower.
- The subject is currently missing at least one point of Flesh.
- The subject has witnessed you use extreme and impressive violence in the past.

plus-circleStacking Circumstance: If two conditions are true, the check required to intimidate succeeds on 5+ instead of 9+. If all three are true, the check always succeeds automatically.

minus-circleFearless: Subjects with at least one level in the Steadfast class cannot be intimidated.
caret-right Alternative plus-circleRetry: You can choose to retry a failed intimidation check against a given target.

minus-circleMojo: Retrying a failed intimidation check costs 1 Mojo.

Collateral

Offense plus-circleKill Them All: When you use a multi-target weapon attack, damage dealt to any enemies hit by it is increased by +1 for every ally or intimidated subject that is simultaneously hit. For example, if you use a Grenadier attack that has two allies and three enemies in the blast zone, each of the three enemies takes +2 damage. Your allies take the normal amount of damage.

Meatshield

Protection plus-circleYou First, I Insist: When targeted by any weapon attack, you can choose to switch positions with any adjacent ally or intimidated subject as a free action immediately before the attack lands. The selected ally/intimidated subject takes the hit instead of you.

minus-circleMight Not Work With Fireballs: If an attack would strike both your old position and the new one you switched yourself into, then you still get hit with it.

minus-circleWeight Limit: You may only use an adjacent ally/intimidated subject as a Meatshield if they're small enough for you to carry (under normal circumstances, this means your own size or smaller).

minus-circleWear and Tear: You may use this ability to force allies/intimidated subjects to take hits in your place no more than once per subject per round.

Motivator

Offense plus-circleDon't Fail Me Like They Did: Every time you kill an ally or intimidated subject (whether on purpose or accidentally), you and all other allies within 10 meters of you may instantly make a recovery action for free.

plus-circleMountainfall: Every ally whose level was lower than the slain subject's gets two free recovery actions instead of one.

Rapacious

Utility plus-circleFEED ME: Every time you lose a point of any resource (Provisions, Supplies, or Mojo), roll a trigger die. If the result is 7+, you can force any ally or intimidated subject within 5 meters of your choice to lose a point of the selected resource instead and you keep yours.

minus-circleDesolation: If there are no allies/intimidated subjects within 5 meters that have a t least one point of the relevant resource remaining for you to steal, this ability has no effect.
