Представьте, кем вы хотите быть в мире Расколотых островов. В Даскволе, где единственный социальный лифт, это кинжал в вашей руке, вы отказались от размеренной и тихой жизни в гнилом рабочем бараке и нырнули в омут криминального подполья. Теперь каждый ваш шаг сопряжен с риском, каждое ваше действие влечёт за собой фатальные последствия.

Выбранный плейбук указываем в чарлисте и в графе «Класс» у персонажа. 2. Heritage. Ваше происхождение, родословная, культура. Вы можете иметь любые корни, но родиться в Даскволе; можете быть иммигрантом из далёких земель. Окружающие будут судить о вас по вашему происхождению. Когда вы выберите нужное место, укажите его в чарлисте и дополните заметкой о себе. Например, выбрав Сковлан (Skovlan), напишите «Из семьи заводских рабочих Локпорта, ныне беженецев в Даскволе». Транскрипции по вашему вкусу, это ваша родина. Akoros is the largest and most industrialized land in the Imperium, and is home to the capitol city as well as Duskwall itself. They’re known as a diverse conglomeration of cultures that have grown together in close proximity for centuries, somewhat like Europe. If you want to be a rootless wanderer you could be from the Dagger Isles. People there often grow up on ships and travel a lot before settling down. They’re known as corsairs and merchants who live without lightning barriers— dealing with spirits in other ways. If you want to be from a culture considered “foreign” by the locals, you could be from Iruvia, a rich and powerful desert kingdom far to the south. It’s another diverse land of varying cultures similar to old Persia, Egypt, and India. If you want to be from a place considered “wild” by the rest of the empire, you could be from Severos. Outside the few Imperial settlements, most Severosi live in nomadic horse-tribes scattered across the blasted deathlands, surviving within the ruins of ancient arcane fortresses which still repel spirits. If you want to be from a marginalized people, you could be from Skovlan, the island kingdom just across the sea from Doskvol. Skovlan was last to be brought under Imperial rule, over the course of the 36-year Unity War (which ended only a few years ago). Many Skovlander refugees who lost their homes and jobs in the destruction of the war have come to Doskvol seeking new opportunities. If you want to be weird, you can be from Tycheros. It’s a semi-mythical place, far away beyond the northern Void Sea. Everyone says that the people there are part-demon. If you choose Tycherosi heritage, also create a demonic telltale (like black shark eyes, feathers instead of hair, etc.) that marks your character.  Перевод SRD с гитхаба: Акорос — самый крупный и индустриализированный регион Империума. Здесь располагается столица империи, а также Дасквол, крупнейший портовый город. Акорос является разнообразной конгломерацией множества культур, которые развивались друг рядом с другом (что-то вроде Европы).
Если ты хочешь быть "скитальцем" без корней, то возможно ты прибыл с Кинжальных островов. Бродяги оттуда обычно родились и выросли на кораблях и всю жизнь путешествовали от одного острова к другому, занимаясь торговлей, контрабандой или пиратством. Корсары с островов не подчиняются законам и не признают власть Империума.
Если ты хочешь принадлежать к культуре, которая считается "иноземной" и "экзотичной", то наверняка ты из Ирувии, богатого и влиятельного пустынного царства далеко на юге. Культура ирувианцев напоминает южные и восточные королевства древности, вроде Персии, Египта и Индии.
Если ты считаешь себя "дикарем" или "деревенщиной", то тебе подойдёт происхождение Сивероса. Это полудикое племя держит в страхе земли за пределами крупных городов, совершая набеги. Немногие выжившие свидетели утверждают, что сиверосам удалось приручить демонов Мёртвых земель, а погибших они используют в своих языческих ритуалах.
Если ты хочешь быть "маргиналом" или "угнетённым", то ты явно из Сковлании. Эта некогда процветающая страна последней пала в противостоянии с Империумом и была захвачена. После 36-летней войны, почти все крупные города сковланцев были уничтожены и поток беженцев хлынул в Акорос в поисках жилья и работы.
Если ты считаешь себя "странным", возможно ты из Тихероса, полу-мистического места далеко за Морем Пустоты. Все говорят, что люди оттуда... уже не люди. Если ты выбираешь тичероское происхождение, также добавь демоническую черту (черные глаза, перья вместо волос, рожки и т.п.), которая отличает твоего персонажа. Кем вы были, прежде чем сошли на скользкую дорожку? Выберите область из списка и дополните конкретной профессией, примеры под катом: Academic: A scholar, a professor or student from Doskvol Academy, a philosopher or journalist, etc.
Labor: A servant, a factory worker, a coach driver, a docker, a sailor, a Rail Jack, etc. A stevedore for the North Hook Company.
Law: An advocate or barrister, a Bluecoat or inspector (or even Spirit Warden), a prison guard from Ironhook, etc.
Trade: A shopkeeper, a merchant, a skilled crafts-person, a shipping agent, etc. A liaison to the Ministry of Preservation.
Military: An Imperial or Skovlander soldier, a mercenary, an intelligence operative, a strategist, a training instructor, etc.
Noble: A dilettante, a courtier, the scion of a fallen house, etc.
Underworld: A street urchin, gang member, young thug, or other outcast who grew up on the streets.
Перевод SRD с гитхаба:
Наука: учёный, профессор или студент Академии Дасквола, философ, журналист и т.п.
Ручной труд: прислуга, рабочий фабрики, повар, водитель, доковый рабочий, матрос, рельсовик и т.п.
Закон: адвокат, надзорщик Сталекрюка, телокранитель, синий мундир, инспектор и т.п.
Торговля: торговец, бармен, курьер, ремесленник и т.п.
Армия: солдат Империума, пограничный страж Дасквола, наёмник, разведчик, военный инструктор и т.п.
Знать: придворный, наследник падшего дома, лишенный титула дворянин
Криминал: уличный попрошайка, член банды, домушник, воришка и т.п. Свой выбор занесите в чарлист. Здесь же можете дополнить скупые факты. Попробуйте в кратком эссе ответить на вопросы: Cutter Есть ли у вас персональный кодекс, или граница, которую вы никогда не перейдете?
Хотите ли вы быть боссом, или работать головорезом на босса?
Как вы открыли в себе вкус к жестокости и насилию? Вы видите весь мир, как потенциальную жертву охоты, или всё ещё переживаете о людях?
Какая цель в прошлом доставила вам больше всего проблем? Почему? Упорные исследования, которые делают вас таким редким явлением в среде маргинального общества преступного мира – где вы научились своему искусству?
Какую сторону своей работы вы предпочитаете: созидания и лечения, или хаоса и разрушения? Как вы научились искусству скрытности и слежки?
Какой аспект работы вы предпочитаете? Быть невидимым наблюдателем, шпионящим в тени? Искусным акробатом, бегающим по крышам? Смертоносным хищником в засаде, поджидающим жертву в тени? Осталась ли внутри вас хоть немного искренности? Или вы день ото дня подстраиваетесь под собеседника и ситуацию?
Есть ли что-то настоящее в ваших взаимоотношениях с людьми, или все они для вас лишь только пешки в большой игре? Вы вовлечены в запутанную сеть услуг и долгов, которые вы используете в роли Паука, или вы скрупулезно наблюдаете за паутиной со стороны, как хладнокровный хищник? Почему вы выбрали путь Шепчущих? Как вы развили свои способности? Это ваши врожденные способности, или вы их изучали и практиковали самостоятельно, или у вас был учитель? Пришло время распределить точки (action dots) по навыкам (action rating). Всего навыков двенадцать, разделены они группами на три атрибута (attribute). В каждом playerbook на старте есть три предварительно распределенные точки, ещё четыре нужно распределить самостоятельно. На старте ни у одного навыка не может быть больше двух точек. Рулбук рекомендует вам потратить по одной точке на навыки, которые характеризуют ваше происхождение и ваше прошлое (heritage и background). Оставшиеся две распределите на ваше усмотрение. Обратите внимание, что количество точек в первом столбце каждой группы показывает уровень атрибута, величиной от 0 до 4. Пресеты: CUTTER[b]INSIGHT[/b]

Sway Выберите нужную заготовку, добавьте точки, скопируйте в чарлист. 5. Сhoose a special ability. Каждый бандит может воровать, убивать и запугивать, но некоторые в своих талантах ушли дальше других. Выберите одну специальную способность вашему персонажу. Скопируйте её вместе с описанием в чарлист. Отсюда же можно добавить будущие навыки при прокачке. Если вам сложно определиться со стартовым навыком, выбирайте первый из списка, это универсальный вариант. Cutter Battleborn
You may expend your special armor to reduce harm from an attack in combat
or to push yourself during a fight.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you “reduce harm” that means the level of harm you’re facing right now
is reduced by one. If you use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the
benefits (+1d, +1 effect, act despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress.
Your special armor is restored at the beginning of downtime.
Bodyguard
When you protect a teammate, take +1d to your resistance roll. When you gather
info to anticipate possible threats in the current situation, you get +1 effect.
The protect teamwork maneuver lets you face a consequence for a teammate.
If you choose to resist that consequence, this ability gives you +1d to your
resistance roll. Also, when you read a situation to gather information about
hidden dangers or potential attackers, you get +1 effect—which means more
detailed information.
Ghost Fighter
You may imbue your hands, melee weapons, or tools with spirit energy. You gain
potency in combat vs. the supernatural. You may grapple with spirits to restrain
and capture them.
When you imbue yourself with spirit energy, how do you do it? What does it
look like when the energy manifests? When you’re imbued, you can strongly
interact with ghosts and spirit-stuff, rather than weakly interact.
Leader
When you Command a cohort in combat, they continue to fight when they
would otherwise break (they’re not taken out when they suffer level 3 harm).
They gain +1 effect and 1 armor.
This ability makes your cohorts more effective in battle and also allows them
to resist harm by using armor. While you lead your cohorts, they won’t stop
fighting until they take fatal harm (level 4) or you order them to cease. What
do you do to inspire such bravery in battle?
For details about cohorts, see page 96.
Mule
Your load limits are higher. Light: 5. Normal: 7. Heavy: 8.
This ability is great if you want to wear heavy armor and pack a heavy weapon
without attracting lots of attention. Since your exact gear is determined onthe-fly during an operation, having more load also gives you more options to
get creative with when dealing with problems during a score.
Not To Be Trifled With
You can push yourself to do one of the following: perform a feat of physical force
that verges on the superhuman—engage a small gang on equal footing in close combat.
When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal
benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) in addition to the special ability.
If you perform a feat that verges on the superhuman, you might break a metal
weapon with your bare hands, tackle a galloping horse, lift a huge weight, etc.
If you engage a small gang on equal footing, you don’t suffer reduced effect due
to scale against a small gang (up to six people).
Savage
When you unleash physical violence, it’s especially frightening. When you
Command a frightened target, take +1d.
You instill fear in those around you when you get violent. How they react
depends on the person. Some people will flee from you, some will be impressed,
some will get violent in return. The GM judges the response of a given NPC.
In addition, when you Command someone who’s affected by fear (from this
ability or otherwise), take +1d to your roll.
Vigorous
You recover from harm faster. Permanently fill in one of your healing clock
segments. Take +1d to healing treatment rolls.
Your healing clock becomes a 3-clock, and you get a bonus die when you recover. Sharpshooter
You can push yourself to do one of the following: make a ranged attack at extreme
distance beyond what’s normal for the weapon—unleash a barrage of rapid fire to
suppress the enemy.
When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal
benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) in addition to the special ability.
The first use of this ability allows you to attempt long-range sniper shots that
would otherwise be impossible with the rudimentary firearms of Duskwall.
The second use allows you to keep up a steady rate of fire in a battle (enough to
“suppress” a small gang up to six people), rather than stopping for a slow reload
or discarding a gun after each shot. When an enemy is suppressed, they’re
reluctant to maneuver or attack (usually calling for a fortune roll to see if they
can manage it).
Focused
You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence of surprise or mental
harm (fear, confusion, losing track of someone) or to push yourself for ranged
combat or tracking.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you “resist a consequence” of the appropriate type, you avoid it completely. If
you use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect,
act despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is
restored at the beginning of downtime.
Ghost Hunter
Your hunting pet is imbued with spirit energy. It gains potency when tracking
or fighting the supernatural, and gains an arcane ability: ghost-form, mind-link,
or arrow-swift. Take this ability again to choose an additional arcane ability for
your pet.
Your pet functions as a cohort (Expert: Hunter). This ability gives them potency
against supernatural targets and an arcane ability of your choice. Ghost-form
allows the pet to transform into electroplasmic vapor as if it were a spirit. Mindlink allows the pet and hunter to share their senses and thoughts telepathically.
Arrow-swift allows the pet to move extremely quickly, out-pacing any other
creature or vehicle. For more details about cohorts, see page 96.
Scout
When you gather information to discover the location of a target, you get
+1 effect. When you hide in a prepared position or use camouflage you get +1d
to rolls to avoid detection.
A “target” can be a person, a destination, a good ambush spot, an item, etc.
Survivor
From hard-won experience or occult ritual, you are immune to the poisonous
miasma of the deathlands and are able to subsist on the strange flora and fauna
there. You get +1 stress box.
This ability gives you an additional stress box, so you have 10 instead of 9.
The maximum number of stress boxes a PC can have (from any number of
additional special abilities or upgrades) is 12.
Tough As Nails
Penalties from harm are one level less severe (though level 4 harm is still fatal).
With this ability, level 3 harm doesn’t incapacitate you; instead you take -1d
to your rolls (as if it were level 2 harm). Level 2 harm affects you as if it were
level 1 (less effect). Level 1 harm has no effect on you (but you still write it
on your sheet, and must recover to heal it). Record the harm at its original
level—for healing purposes, the original harm level applies.
Vengeful
You gain an additional xp trigger: You got payback against someone who harmed
you or someone you care about. If your crew helped you get payback, also mark
crew xp. Alchemist
When you invent or craft a creation with alchemical features, you get +1 result level to
your roll (a 1-3 becomes a 4/5, etc.). You begin with one special formula already known.
Follow the Inventing procedure with the GM (page 224) to define your first
special alchemical formula.
Analyst
During downtime, you get two ticks to distribute among any long term project
clocks that involve investigation or learning a new formula or design plan.
Artificer
When you invent or craft a creation with spark-craft features, you get +1 result level to
your roll (a 1-3 becomes a 4/5, etc.). You begin with one special design already known.
Follow the Inventing procedure with the GM (page 224) to define your first
spark-craft design.
Fortitude
You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence of fatigue, weakness,
or chemical effects, or to push yourself when working with technical skill or
handling alchemicals.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you “resist a consequence” of the appropriate type, you avoid it completely. If
you use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect,
act despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is
restored at the beginning of downtime.
Ghost Ward
When you Wreck an area with arcane substances, ruining it for any other use,
it becomes anathema or enticing to spirits (your choice).
If you make an area anathema to spirits, they will do everything they can to
avoid it, and will suffer torment if forced inside the area. If you make an area
enticing to spirits, they will seek it out and linger in the area, and will suffer
torment if forced to leave. This effect lasts for several days over an area the
size of a small room. Particularly powerful or prepared spirits may roll their
quality or arcane magnitude to see how well they’re able to resist the effect.
Physicker
You can Tinker with bones, blood, and bodily humours to treat wounds or
stabilize the dying. You may Study a malady or corpse. Everyone in your crew
(including you) gets +1d to their healing treatment rolls.
Knowledge of anatomy and healing is a rare and esoteric thing in Duskwall.
Without this ability, any attempts at treatment are likely to fail or make things
worse. You can use this ability to give first aid (rolling Tinker) to allow your
patient to ignore a harm penalty for an hour or two.
Saboteur
When you Wreck, your work is much quieter than it should be and the damage
is very well-hidden from casual inspection.
You can drill holes in things, melt stuff with acid, even use a muffled explosive,
and it will all be very quiet and extremely hard to notice.
Venomous
Choose a drug or poison (from your bandolier stock) to which you have become
immune. You can push yourself to secrete it through your skin or saliva or exhale
it as a vapor.
When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal
benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) if you’re making a roll, in
addition to the special ability.
You choose the type of drug or poison when you get this ability. You may
change the drug or poison by completing a long-term project. Only a single
drug or poison may be chosen—you can’t become immune to any essences,
oils, or other alchemical substances. Infiltrator
You are not affected by quality or Tier when you bypass security measures.
This ability lets you contend with higher-Tier enemies on equal footing. When
you’re cracking a safe, picking a lock, or sneaking past elite guards, your effect
level is never reduced due to superior Tier or quality level of your opposition.
Are you a renowned safe cracker? Do people tell stories of how you slipped
under the noses of two Chief Inspectors, or are your exceptional talents yet
to be discovered?
Ambush
When you attack from hiding or spring a trap, you get +1d to your roll.
This ability benefits from preparation— so don’t forget you can do that in a
flashback.
Daredevil
When you roll a desperate action, you get +1d to your roll if you also take -1d
to any resistance rolls against consequences from your action.
This special ability is a bit of a gamble. The bonus die helps you, but if you
suffer consequences, they’ll probably be more costly to resist. But hey, you’re a
daredevil, so no big deal, right?
The Devil’s Footsteps
You can push yourself to do one of the following: perform a feat of athletics that
verges on the superhuman—maneuver to confuse your enemies so they mistakenly
attack each other.
When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal
benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) if you’re making a roll, in
addition to the special ability.
If you perform an athletic feat (running, tumbling, balance, climbing, etc.) that
verges on the superhuman, you might climb a sheer surface that lacks good
hand-holds, tumble safely out of a three-story fall, leap a shocking distance, etc.
If you maneuver to confuse your enemies, they attack each other for a moment
before they realize their mistake. The GM might make a fortune roll to see
how badly they harm or interfere with each other.
Expertise
Choose one of your action ratings. When you lead a group action using that
action, you can suffer only 1 stress at most, regardless of the number of failed rolls.
This special ability is good for covering for your team. If they’re all terrible
at your favored action, you don’t have to worry about suffering a lot of stress
when you lead their group action.
Ghost Veil
You may shift partially into the ghost field, becoming shadowy and insubstantial
for a few moments. Take 2 stress when you shift, plus 1 stress for each extra
feature: it lasts for a few minutes rather than moments—you are invisible rather
than shadowy—you may float through the air like a ghost.
This ability transforms you into an intangible shadow for a few moments. If
you spend additional stress, you can extend the effect for additional benefits,
which may improve your position or effect for action rolls, depending on the
circumstances, as usual.
Reflexes
When there’s a question about who acts first, the answer is you.
This ability gives you the initiative in most situations. Some specially trained
NPCs (and some demons and spirits) might also have reflexes, but otherwise,
you’re always the first to act, and can interrupt anyone else who tries to beat
you to the punch. This ability usually doesn’t negate the need to make an
action roll that you would otherwise have to make, but it may improve your
position or effect.
Shadow
You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence from detection or
security measures, or to push yourself for a feat of athletics or stealth.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you “resist a consequence” of the appropriate type, you avoid it completely. If
you use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect,
act despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is
restored at the beginning of downtime. Rook’s Gambit
Take 2 stress to roll your best action rating while performing a different action.
Say how you adapt your skill to this use.
This is the “jack-of-all-trades” ability. If you want to attempt lots of different
sorts of actions and still have a good dice pool to roll, this is the special ability
for you.
Cloak & Dagger
When you use a disguise or other form of covert misdirection, you get +1d to
rolls to confuse or deflect suspicion. When you throw off your disguise, the
resulting surprise gives you the initiative in the situation.
This ability gives you the chance to more easily get out of trouble if a covert
operation goes haywire. Also, don’t forget your fine disguise kit item, which
boosts the effect of your covert deception methods.
Ghost Voice
You know the secret method to interact with a ghost or demon as if it were a
normal human, regardless of how wild or feral it appears. You gain potency when
communicating with the supernatural.
The first part of this ability gives you permission to do something that is normally
impossible: when you speak to a spirit, it always listens and understands you,
even if it would otherwise be too bestial or insane to do so. The second part of the
ability increases your effect when you use social actions with the supernatural.
Like Looking Into A Mirror
You can always tell when someone is lying to you.
This ability works in all situations without restriction. It is very powerful, but
also a bit of a curse. You see though every lie, even the kind ones.
A Little Something On The Side
At the end of each downtime phase, you earn +2 stash.
Since this money comes at the end of downtime, after all downtime actions are
resolved, you can’t remove it from your stash and spend it on extra activities
until your next downtime phase.
Mesmerism
When you Sway someone, you may cause them to forget that it’s happened until
they next interact with you.
The victim’s memory “glosses over” the missing time, so it’s not suspicious
that they’ve forgotten something. When you next interact with the victim,
they remember everything clearly, including the strange effect of this ability.
Subterfuge
You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence from suspicion or
persuasion, or to push yourself for subterfuge.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you “resist a consequence” of the appropriate type, you avoid it completely. If
you use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect,
act despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is
restored at the beginning of downtime.
Trust In Me
You get +1d vs. a target with whom you have an intimate relationship.
This ability isn’t just for social interactions. Any action can get the bonus.
“Intimate” is for you and the group to define, it need not exclusively mean
romantic intimacy. Foresight
Two times per score you can assist a teammate without paying stress. Describe
how you prepared for this.
You can narrate an event in the past that helps your teammate now, or you
might explain how you expected this situation and planned a helpful contingency
that you reveal now.
Calculating
Due to your careful planning, during downtime, you may give yourself or another
crew member +1 downtime activity.
If you forget to use this ability during downtime, you can still activate it
during the score and flashback to the previous downtime when the extra
activity happened.
Connected
During downtime, you get +1 result level when you acquire an asset or reduce
heat.
Your array of underworld connections can be leveraged to loan assets, pressure
a vendor to give you a better deal, intimidate witnesses, etc.
Functioning Vice
When you indulge your vice, you may adjust the dice outcome by 1 or 2 (up or
down). An ally who joins you may do the same.
If you indulged your vice and rolled a 4, you could increase the result to 5 or
6, or you could reduce the result to 3 or 2 (perhaps to avoid overindulgence).
Allies that join you don’t need to have the same vice as you, just one that could
be indulged alongside yours somehow.
Ghost Contract
When you shake on a deal or draft one in writing, you and your partner—human
or otherwise—both bear a mark of your oath. If either breaks the contract, they
take level 3 harm, “Cursed.”
The mark of the oath is obvious to anyone who sees it (perhaps a magical rune
appears on the skin). When you suffer “Cursed” harm, you’re incapacitated
by withering: enfeebled muscles, hair falling out, bleeding from the eyes and
ears, etc., until you either fulfill the deal or discover a way to heal the curse.
Jail Bird
When incarcerated, your wanted level counts as 1 less, your Tier as 1 more,
and you gain +1 faction status with a faction that you help while you’re inside,
in addition to whatever you get from the incarceration roll.
Zero is the minimum wanted level; this ability can’t make your wanted
level negative. See the Incarceration roll, page 148.
Mastermind
You may expend your special armor to protect a teammate, or to push yourself
when you gather information or work on a long-term project.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you protect a teammate, this ability negates or reduces the severity of a
consequence or harm that your teammate is facing. You don’t have to be present
to use this ability—say how you prepared for this situation in the past. If you
use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect, act
despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is restored
at the beginning of downtime.
Weaving The Web
You gain +1d to Consort when you gather information on a target for a score.
You get +1d to the engagement roll for that operation.
Your network of underworld connections can always be leveraged to gain
insight for a job—even when your contacts aren’t aware that they’re helping you. Compel
You can Attune to the ghost field to force a nearby ghost to appear before you
and obey an order you give it. You are not supernaturally terrified by a ghost you
summon or attempt to compel (though your allies may be).
The GM will tell you if you sense any ghosts nearby. If you don’t, you can
gather information (maybe Attune, Survey, or Study) to attempt to
locate one. By default, a ghost wants to satisfy its need for life essence and
to exact vengeance. When you compel it, you can give it a general or specific
command, but the more general it is (like “Protect me”) the more the ghost
will interpret it according to its own desires. Your control over the ghost lasts
until the command is fulfilled, or until a day has passed, whichever comes first.
Ghost Mind
You’re always aware of supernatural entities in your presence. Take +1d whenever
you gather information about the supernatural by any means.
Iron Will
You are immune to the terror that some supernatural entities inflict on sight.
When you make a resistance roll with Resolve, take +1d.
With this ability, you do not freeze up or flee when confronted by any kind of
supernatural entity or strange occult event.
Occultist
You know the secret ways to Consort with ancient powers, forgotten gods, or
demons. Once you’ve consorted with one, you get +1d to Command cultists
who worship it.
Consorting with a given entity may require special preparations or travel
to a specific place. The GM will tell you about any requirements. You get the
bonus die to your Command rolls because you can demonstrate a secret
knowledge of or influence over the entity when you interact with cultists.
Ritual
You know the arcane methods to perform ritual sorcery. You can Study an
occult ritual (or create a new one) to summon a supernatural effect or being.
You begin with one ritual already learned.
Without this special ability, the study and practice of rituals leaves you utterly
vulnerable to the powers you supplicate. Such endeavors are not recommended.
For more details, see Rituals, page 222.
Strange Methods
When you invent or craft a creation with arcane features, get +1 result level to your
roll (a 1-3 becomes a 4/5, etc.). You begin with one arcane design already known.
Follow the Inventing procedure with the GM (page 224) to define your first
arcane design.
Tempest
You can push yourself to do one of the following: unleash a stroke of lightning as
a weapon—summon a storm in your immediate vicinity (torrential rain, roaring
winds, heavy fog, chilling frost and snow, etc.).
When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal
benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) if you’re making a roll, in
addition to the special ability.
When you unleash lightning as a weapon, the GM will describe its effect
level and significant collateral damage. If you unleash it in combat against
an enemy who’s threatening you, you’ll still make an action roll in the fight
(usually with Attune).
When you summon a storm, the GM will describe its effect level. If you’re using
this power as cover or distraction, it’s probably a setup teamwork maneuver,
using Attune.
Warded
You may expend your special armor to resist a supernatural consequence, or to
push yourself when you contend with or employ arcane forces.
When you use this ability, tick the special armor box on your playbook sheet.
If you resist a consequence, this ability negates or reduces its severity. If you
use this ability to push yourself, you get one of the benefits (+1d, +1 effect, act
despite severe harm) but you don’t take 2 stress. Your special armor is restored

Cutter Fine hand weapon: A finely crafted one-handed melee weapon of your choice. Is this a well-crafted standard weapon, like a perfectly-balanced dagger, or something exotic, like an Iruvian dueling saber or a metal-banded war-club? [1 load]
Fine heavy weapon: A finely crafted two-handed melee weapon of your choice.
A warhammer, a greatsword, a military pike, a battleaxe, etc. A heavy weapon has more reach and hits harder than a standard weapon. This might give you potency when the power or reach of the weapon is a factor. [2 load]
Scary weapon or tool: A scary-looking hand weapon or tool. This item grants increased effect when you intimidate, not increased harm in combat. [1 load]
Manacles & chain: A set of heavy manacles and chain, suitable for restraining a prisoner. A souvenir from a stay with the Bluecoats, perhaps? [0 load]
Rage essence vial: A single dose, which greatly enhances the user’s strength, resistance to pain, and irrational aggression for the span of several minutes. The GM will modify your position and effect accordingly when you fight on rage essence. Also, you suffer two consequences: “Can’t Tell Friend From Foe” and “Can’t Stop Until They’re All Broken.” You may resist these as usual. [0 load]

Fine pair of pistols: A matched pair of handguns, made for greater accuracy, with double barrels that allow for two shots before reloading.

Electroplasmic ammunition: A bandolier of electroplasmic ammo, especially potent against spirits, but less effective against physical targets. The electrical charge is enough to stun a person, but does very little real harm. Several hits might incapacitate a human target. This ammunition is especially reactive in the ghost field. [1 load]

Silence potion vial: A vial of golden liquid that negates all sound within 10 paces of the drinker for a span of several moments. [0 load]

Триггер опыта: When you play a Slide, you earn xp when you address a challenge with deception or influence. Fine cover identity: Paperwork, planted stories and rumors, and false relationships sufficient to pass as a different person. [0 load]
Fine bottle of whiskey: A rare distillation from your personal collection, potent both in its alcohol and its ability to impress. [1 load]
Blueprints: A folio of useful architectural drawings and city plans. Feel free to specify which plans you’re carrying when you choose this item. [1 load]
Vial of slumber essence: A dose of slumber essence sufficient to put someone to sleep for an hour. The victim’s sleep isn’t supernatural, but it is deep—they can be roused with some effort. [0 load]
Concealed palm pistol: A small firearm with a weak charge, easily concealed in a sleeve or waistcoat. This pistol has extremely limited range; only a few feet. It’s very difficult to detect on your person, even if you’re searched. [0 load]

Fine lightning hook: A long, two-handed pole with a loop of heavy wire at the end, connected to an electroplasmic capacitor. Suitable for grappling a spirit and dragging it into a spirit bottle. This custom-made hook collapses into a compact form, thus reducing its load to 1, even though it’s two-handed. [1 load]
