<h2>CREATING A BOND</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bonds are generally created during resting scenes (<a
|
|
href="/books/core/#page-91"
|
|
>page 91</a
|
|
>), through opportunities, or due to specific Skills. Whenever an effect in
|
|
the game allows you to "create a Bond", you may add a new Bond to your
|
|
character sheet and immediately tie a single emotion to it. This means that
|
|
all Bonds start with a strength of 1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can have Bonds towards characters, nations, kingdoms, organizations, and
|
|
even religions. You cannot have a Bond towards yourself.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>STRENGTHENING A BOND OR CHANGING EMOTIONS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can make your Bonds grow stronger by adding more emotions to them (up to a
|
|
maximum of three emotions, one per pairing). This is generally done during
|
|
resting scenes (see <a href="/books/core/#page-91">page 91</a>), which will
|
|
also allow you to shift emotions around and adjust them to the more recent
|
|
developments in your story.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>ERASING A BOND</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you already have six Bonds and want to create a new one, you must first
|
|
erase one of your existing Bonds. You must explain how your feelings and
|
|
perspective changed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>BONDS ARE STRONGER THAN DEATH</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Even if a character dies or leaves your story, any Bonds other characters had
|
|
with them will remain until erased.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>The Role of Bonds</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bonds make your character stronger while reminding you of their ties with the
|
|
rest of the world and its people.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not shy away from complex Bonds: feeling both affection and inferiority
|
|
towards someone, or hatred and admiration, can and will make your story more
|
|
memorable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The best choice is often to let Bonds grow organically, while also reaping the
|
|
benefits that come from having many high-strength Bonds.
