Opportunities

Opportunities are unexpected twists in the story — sometimes good, sometimes bad.

When you spend an opportunity, you may pick an option from the list below or come up with a different twist that fits the current scene. The Game Master has final say on whether an opportunity is appropriate to the current situation, and some spells and Skills will allow you to spend opportunities in new and powerful ways.

Example: Valea the thief is hopping from roof to roof in an attempt to shake off Count Eligor’s mercenaries. The Game Master calls for a 【DEX + MIG】 Check and Valea rolls a 7 and a 7, a critical success! The Player controlling Valea describes how she loses her pursuers and chooses the Favor opportunity: her daring performance will earn her the sympathy of the villagers, who were already fed up with the Count’s tyranny!
