<h1>ALTERING THE STORY</h1>
<p>As a Player, you can spend 1 Fabula Point to make a statement about the story. You get to shape part of the world, its people, and its creatures, to fill in the "grey areas" and generate an opportunity for action, tweak a detail in your favor... or even introduce a convenient plot twist!</p>

<ul>
<li>If you want to change or add new details to a character, location, or item that has already been established — such as a character, location, or item the Game Master described or introduced — you will first need the Game Master's permission.</li>
<li>If your alteration directly affects another Player Character — for instance, if you are establishing there is a bounty on the head of one of your companions — you will first need permission from the corresponding Player.</li>
<li>You cannot use this option to contradict a statement previously made by yourself or by another participant.</li>
<li>You cannot use this option to cause mechanical changes such as gaining or altering a Skill, switching a creature's Vulnerabilities, or inflicting a status effect on one or more enemies. The Game Master might decide that the element you introduced grants a mechanical advantage, but that's their call to make, not yours.</li>
<li>If you introduce a new Non-Player Character this way, that character will still be under the Game Master's control.</li>

<p>As with any freeform tool, this option is very powerful and may be used in a variety of ways and "intensities" — some Players will just add a useful item on the scene, others will come up with entire new locations and place them on the world map.</p>

<h2>Example 1</h2>
<p>After defeating the Mirror Golem in the depths of the forest ruins, the heroes recover a strange ivory disc bearing mysterious inscriptions. No one among them knows how to read this ancient language; a Player decides to spend 1 Fabula Point to state his character knows of an elderly scholar living in the countryside nearby, who might be able to help.</p>
<p>Since this statement does not contradict anything previously stated by the Game Master or by another Player, it becomes automatically true — the Player marks the position of the scholar's tower on the map.</p>
