Antiquarian
When you closely examine an artifact or a piece of lost technology, ask the GM two
questions from the following list:
• Who created this object?
• What is the purpose of this object, or what does it do?
• Who would find this object valuable?
• How is this object dangerous to me?
• How is this object activated?
W hip Tricks
A whip is a powerful tool in your hands. You can use your whip to grab small objects
within reach range and swing upon it like a grappling hook without Defying Danger.
You cannot Hack and Slash with your whip. Instead, when you crack your whip at an
enemy, roll+DEX. *On a 10+, choose two. *On a 7-9, choose one:
• You entangle one of their limbs, preventing them from using it as long as you
keep your whip wrapped around them.
• You avoid any retaliation or counterattack.
• You move them to any place within reach range.
• You knock them prone or off-balance, the next person who takes advantage of
this takes +1 forward.
• You make them drop an object they are holding.
Researcher
When you spend some time researching a nearby dungeon, roll+INT. *On a 10+,
choose two from the list. *On a 7-9, choose one. *On a 6-, pick one from the list above,
but don’t describe it yet. Instead, ask the GM what it will cost you or what you must do to
gain that benefit.
• You find part of a map, draw it out or otherwise present it to the group.
• You learn of a trap or similar hazard, describe it and hold +1 preparation. (see
the Bolster move)
• You learn of a dangerous enemy or group in the area, describe and/or name
them and hold +1 preparation.
• You learn of a valuable treasure, describe it and where it’s kept.
• You learn something useful about the area’s history, layout, or politics; tell us
what.
• You gain something that will be particularly useful in there (a key, a password,
etc.), tell us what you got.
Your load is 9+STR. You start with dungeon rations (5 uses, 1 weight),
adventuring gear (5 uses, 1 weight) and a whip (1 weight). Choose two:
o A bag of books (5 uses, 2 weight)
o Leather armor (1 armor, 1 weight)
o Bandages (3 uses), antitoxin, and a short sword (close, 1 weight)
o A hand crossbow (near, reload, 1 weight) and a pack of bolts (1 weight)
When you gain a level from 2-5, choose from these moves.
o Facts, Not Truth
When you make the Researcher move, on a hit, choose one more option.
o Healthy Competition
You have a rival. The two of you have been competing for so long that
you've developed a sort of camaraderie, but you can't trust them as far as you
can throw them. Wherever you go, your rival is surely not far behind. When
you turn to your rival for aid, they will help you, but you owe them a favor.
They'll decide when it is time to collect.
o I Only Gamble W ith My Life
When you Defy Danger with reckless courage, instead of rolling 2d6 you
roll 1d6+1d8. If the d6 is the higher die of the pair, the GM will also
introduce a complication or danger that comes about due to your
recklessness.
o It Belongs In a Museum
When you deal damage while you have a valuable treasure or artifact in
your possession, you deal +1d6 damage.
o Panache
When you use your whip to traverse a hazard, you may also take another
person with you safely.
o Simon Belmont
Add the following option to the Whip Tricks list:
• Deal your damage.
o Sleuth
When you use strict deduction to analyze your surroundings, you can
Discern Realities with INT instead of WIS.
o Sneaky
Gain a move from the thief playbook.
o W ell-Connected
When you declare that you know someone who can help you solve a task,
describe that person and roll+CHA. *On a hit, you can get help from your
contact. *On a 7-9, there’s a catch, choose one and explain why this is:
• Your contact holds some enmity towards you, you owe them a
debt, or their help will cost you.
• Reaching your contact will be inconvenient or dangerous.
• You contact can’t directly help you, but they can at least point you
in the right direction.
*On a 6-, choose one from the list, and the situation will be worse than you
expected when you reach your contact. They may still be able to help you,
but expect a steep cost.
o W hip Mastery
When you use Whip Tricks, on a 12+ choose three options from the list.
When you gain a level from 6-10, choose from these moves or the level 2-
5 moves.
o Careful Explorer
When a trap or ambush would make you Defy Danger, you cannot get a
6- result; treat that as a 7-9 instead.
o Cartographer
You always know the way back to the dungeon entrance or the nearest
steading. When you act on this knowledge the GM will give you a choice of
a long, safe path or a shorter, more dangerous path.
o Evidence of Faith
When you see divine magic as it happens, ask the GM which deity granted
the spell and its effects. Take +1 when acting on the answers.
o Healthy Friendship
Requires: Healthy Competition
You and your rival have come to terms with each other. When you gain this
move, gain 1-Rivalry. When you come to your rival's aid, gain 1-Rivalry.
When you are in trouble, you may spend 1-Rivalry to have your rival show
up just in time to either save the day (and steal the show), or take dramatic
action to tip the odds in your favor. The GM will tell you how.
o Mola Ram
When you use a magical item and force it to obey your will, instead of
using its effects as written, roll+INT. *On a 10+, you control the degree and
extent of its effects. *On a 7-9, you direct its effects, but choose one:
• You break it; it cannot be used again until it is fixed.
• You lose control, producing additional, unwanted effects.
o Professor
When you make the Antiquarian move, you may ask one additional question,
not bound by the list.
o Thrill of Discovery
When you obtain a valuable treasure or artifact for the first time, gain
1d8 temporary hit points. Damage is applied to these temporary hit points
before harming you.
o Very Sneaky
Requires: Sneaky
Gain a move from the thief playbook.
o W hip Perfection
Replaces: Whip Mastery
When you use Whip Tricks, on a 10+ choose three options, and add the
following option to the list:
• You snatch an object they held or were guarding. Now it’s yours!
