<h1>INVOKING A BOND TO IMPROVE YOUR CHECK</h1>
<p>Just like how a character's Traits can be used to reroll dice, Bonds — which is to say, the feelings they harbor towards others — allows them to increase the Result of Checks.</p>

Just like how a character's Traits can be used to reroll dice, Bonds — which
is to say, the feelings they harbor towards others — allows them to increase
the Result of Checks.
</p>
<p>After performing a Check, a Player Character may spend 1 Fabula Point and invoke one of their Bonds to add the strength of that Bond to the Result. For more information about Bonds and their strength, see page 56.</p>

<p>This can only be done once per Check.</p>
<p>Back to the previous example: Let's say Ricard invokes his Theme to reroll, but the dice come up a 6 and a 5; unfortunately, this isn't enough. Mark has 1 Fabula Point left: he could spend it to reroll the 5 and hope for a critical success, but there's a safer alternative: he decides to invoke his Bond with Sorcerer Antigles himself. This is a Bond of inferiority (because Antigles is a stronger mage) and hatred (because he devastated Ricard's village when he stole the Dragonstone).</p>

<p>Nadia nods. "That's a strength 2 Bond, which means you get to 13 and succeed!"</p>

<p>A Bond should only be invoked when it makes sense — just like Traits, you shouldn't invoke them if it feels forced.</p>

<h2>Optional Rule: Invoking to Fail</h2>
<p>If you use this optional rule, Players may invoke their character's Bonds and Traits to intentionally fail Checks and earn Fabula Points.</p>

<li>Once per scene before making a Check, a Player may describe how the character's Bonds or Traits prevent them from achieving success — this is done instead of performing the Check itself.</li>
<li>The Check is then treated as an automatic failure with a Result and High Roll equal to 0. Then, the character gains 1 Fabula Point.</li>
