THE BREWMASTER
a master of alchemical potions
When you learn a po on formula, you may choose Brewmaster and Scavenger
together instead of a move from your own playbook when you next advance.
BREWMASTER
When you brew a po on, poul ce, or salve with a specific effect in mind, add up
to three potent ingredients, and roll+WIS. On a 10+, you succeed; the GM will
tell you how strong the po on is, how it works and how it’s best administered,
and any poten al side effects. On a 7-9, the GM will tell you just one of these.
Add +1 to the roll if any of the following apply:
■ The ingredient is freshly harvested.
■ You can add two doses of one of the ingredients.
■ You add your own blood to the pot (1d4 damage).
SCAVENGER
You are skilled in herbalism, foraging, and dressing game. When you discern re-
ality, add the ques ons “what potent ingredient might I find here?” and “what
must I do to gather it?”.
When you spend a few hours foraging for ingredients or disassembling a corpse,
roll+WIS. On a 10+, choose two and the GM will tell you what you’ve found. On
a 7-9, the GM will also tell you what you lost or suffered in the process.
■ You find one dose of a new and poten ally powerful ingredient, but it
will take me to study its proper es.
■ You find two doses of a ingredient you are already familiar with.
■ You find a source of food or water that provides four ra ons.
If you have Brewmaster, you may take one of these Moves or one from The
Hedgewizard each me you level instead of one from your own playbook.
FIRST AID
You know the art of first aid; if you can reach someone who is drawing their last
breath’s side with at least a few ingredients at hand, they may add your WIS to
their roll.
HARMLESS
You are o en underes mated or overlooked; if it’s at all plausible, people just
don’t no ce you unless you want to be no ced. In a conflict, you’re never con-
sidered a threat unless you prove you should be.
EFFICIENT USE OF MATERIALS
When you brew a po on, you may apply one of the condi ons that normally
grants a +1 to instead double the doses of po on created.
STANDARDIZED MEASUREMENTS
When you brew a po on you’ve brewed before, using the same ingredients, the
po on is in all respects as it was last me.
IRON CHEF
You can turn even the most unpalatable stuff into something tasty, as long as it’s
at least nominally edible. Add “or cook a meal while making camp” to the trigger
for Brewmaster; when you do, everyone who partakes receives the effects.
CC-BY
THE HEDGEWIZARD
simple tricks bely a sharp mind
When you tell the GM that you were once someone different, you may choose
Hedge Magic instead of a move from your own playbook when you next advance.
HEDGE MAGIC
Yours is the magic of the common folk, with a healthy helping of trickery. You
know two charms, o en taken for magic by those who don’t know be er, and
o en underes mated by those who do.
■ You can make a powder from inexpensive ingredients that explodes in a
loud and bright flash when ignited.
■ You’re a master of cold reading; add “what do they want to hear from
me” to Discern Reali es.
■ You can use sleight of hand to pilfer or conceal a small item without no-
ce (you may need to defy danger to get close enough).
■ With concentra on and mu ering, you can make a small object you can
see, no larger or heavier than a dagger, fly slowly.
When you use a charm, roll+WIS. On a 10+, it works as expected. On a 7-9, the
GM will offer you a hard bargain or tell you how it turns out worse than expected.
If you have Hedge Magic, you may take one of these Moves or one from The
Brewmaster each me you level instead of one from your own playbook.
FORBIDDEN SPECIALTY
There’s a reason you set up shop where you wouldn’t be bothered; choose one,
and the GM will tell you why you must hide it.
■ You are a world-renowned expert on a topic, like a specific ancient peo-
ple, exo c poisons, or the medicinal proper es of herbs. Gain +1 to a
roll where this would help.
■ You have a terrifying gi ; choose any Move of any level from any mag-
ical playbook not in use (or your own). The GM will tell you an extra
condi on that applies on a 7-9 or in general.
ANOTHER LIFE
Choose two Moves, from a playbook not in use (or your own), that are at least
one level lower than yours. Tell the GM how you acquired them in the past, and
choose one:
■ An old enemy who, while not ac vely looking for you, would seize the
chance to do you harm.
■ You are notorious, infamous, or feared, for good reason, and even today
mothers use you as a bogeyman,
■ You are out of prac ce; take a -1 Forward when you use these Moves.
The GM will tell you the effect if the Move hasn’t a roll.
FOCUS
Choose one:
■ Double the bonus from your specialty.
■ Gain an op on from Forbidden Specialty you don’t already have.
■ Remove the extra condi on from a Move from Forbidden Specialty.
IT’S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW
Take +1 when you use a Move granted by Another Life.
