Borrowed Courage
AirDescrição
A skilled leader’s task is to guide their forces to victory, and sometimes, this means misleading them away from defeat. When an army is demoralized, when the odds are harsh, when the foe truly is stronger—these are the times a leader may need to spin a tale of the enemy’s weakness, of coming allies, or of a secret plan to guarantee success. The line between falsehood and truth may be dim or bright; regardless, sometimes warriors need hope to struggle on, even if that hope is forlorn.
Regras
- Ativação
As a downtime activity, you may make a TN 4 Performance (Air) check targeting an army or a number of characters who can hear you up to your ranks in Sentiment. You may stake up to 3 honor to reduce the TN by that amount (to a minimum of 1) to embellish the truth.
- Efeitos
If you succeed, you spread a powerful rumor of your foe’s weakness, of allies certain to arrive, or of some other hidden advantage that should ensure victory. The first time your target receives panic or strife during the next scene, they reduce the amount they receive by your ranks in Performance, to a minimum of 0.
Whether you succeed or fail, if your side loses the battle, you lose your staked honor (as your boasts proved false). Additionally, there might be narrative social ramifications should individuals remember the lies you told.
Novas oportunidades
- Air : If you fail, nobody remembers exactly what you said, so there are no narrative social consequences for your fabrication.
- Air : Add 1 kept set to to the first Scheme action check you make during the next mass battle your army fights.
