Boons

BLURT IT OUT

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: One scene

Subject: One character

Clash: Presence + Legend vs. Composure + Legend

Range: Short

Action: Simple
You overwhelm a character with a sudden burst of emotion. They exclaim without realizing it, unwittingly vocalizing whatever they are thinking. Everyone who hears it gains Enhancement 3 on Assess Attitude actions or other Social rolls to understand the utterance’s context for the duration of the Boon.

IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: Condition

Subject: One character

Range: Medium

Action: Simple
You fill a character’s heart with an emotion of your choice. They gain a Condition based on that emotion — Mad as Hell, Lovestruck, Too Sad to Function, or something similar. The exact effect of the Condition may vary based on the chosen emotion, but as a generic effect, the target takes +3 Difficulty when they take an action that the Storyguide deems is directly contrary to the emotion — it’s hard to treat someone politely while Mad as Hell, or to commit to a fist fight while Lovestruck. Other characters gain Enhancement 3 on rolls to detect the inflamed emotion. This Condition can be resolved by taking a significant action with the potential for consequences that is motivated by the emotion — starting a bar fight, asking someone out, or skipping work would count. It also ends if you reclaim the Legend imbued in this Boon.

TUGGING AT HEARTSTRINGS

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: One scene

Subject: One character

Range: Long

Action: Reflexive
Once you have identified a character’s Attitude towards you or someone else, you can either intensify or stifle the emotions from which it is derived, raising or lowering its value by 1 point. This doesn’t stack with other magical Attitude modifiers, but can cancel out an opposing bonus or penalty.
