    ) Dice.
  • The target must be able to hear you.
    • You cannot be Silenced.
    • The target cannot be Asleep or Unconscious, etc.
  • Range penalties apply, but use Cover and Concealment on yourself, not the target.
    • (Taunting works better if you’re out in the open.)
• No successes: Nothing happens.
• One success: The target becomes Enraged if they can become Enraged (Not Afraid, etc.).
  • Enranged characters must take the “Attack” action every round.
• Two successes: The target becomes Enraged.

• Three successes or more: The target becomes Berserk.
  • Negates any conditions that prevent the target from becoming Berserk.

  - if the roll is somehow relevant to your Personality.
• My character has the following personalities:
  • Curious
  • Cunning

X (Battle) Trigger: " Scare, Trick, or Taunt Stunt"

    • Reeling
    • Confused
    • Enraged
    • Afraid

X (Influence) Sway the opinions of others

• You may exhaust this Gift to push influence over other folks … even after failing a roll!
• Usually, Exhausting this Gift means “playing dumb” and getting out of a situation that would embarrass someone with more station that you.
  • A subtle fool can advise, plant ideas in people’s heads, and gain access to places that commoners aren’t usually allowed.
• You can request to refresh your Influence Gifts once per day, at the DMs discretion.
  • In this case it generally means the parties you used this Gift on are willing to deal with your shit again.
