THE BELOVED
kindness is always repaid
When you rescue an animal in peril and then set it free, you may choose Language
of Beasts in addi on to a move from your own playbook when you next advance.
LANGUAGE OF BEASTS
When you speak, animals understand you, and you understand them. If they
have a problem, they will seek you out to ask you for help.
If you have Language of Beasts, you may take one of these Moves each me you
level instead of one from your regular playbook.
ANIMAL FRIEND
Animals like you ins nc vely. When you take some me to rest quietly or work
peacefully, all nearby wander in to see you, place their heads in your lap, perch
on your shoulder, or otherwise just be near you. When this happens, if the GM
tells you a drawback to the situa on, you may choose one:
■ You learn a secret or useful fact about a person, place, or thing nearby.
■ Something an animal present could accomplish that you needed done is
done for you.
■ Something you needed that an animal present could carry is delivered
to you.
BESEECH
Wherever you are, there will be at least one ny creature who can carry a mes-
sage from you, either to a larger gathering of those like itself or to a greater
creature. Tell the GM your message and roll+CHA. On a 10+, the GM will tell
you when you see results, and ask what sacrifice, bargain, or promise you offer
(you owe one to each type of creature involved). On a 7-9, the GM will offer you
a worse outcome – either less aid than requested, from a less powerful source,
or with a greater price.
PURPOSEFUL TRANSFORM
You may take the shape of a rela vely harmless animal like a squirrel, deer, or
sparrow for the dura on of a simple task. Tell the GM what you intend to ac-
complish, in ten words or less, like “cross the stream” or “climb this tree, retrieve
the item, and climb back down”. Roll+WIS. On a 10+, the transforma on lasts as
long as you need it to. On a 7-9, the GM will tell you when it ends.
INSISTENT CIVILITY
Any creature that is at least partly a beast finds it difficult to a ack you, or even
to be rude in your presence. When you boldly insist on civility from such a crea-
ture, roll+CHA. On a 10+, tempers calm, however begrudgingly. On a 7-9, the
GM will offer you a hard bargain or worse outcome.
STAY THY HAND
Any benefits gained from moves from this class now extend to beast-like humans
and humanoids in addi on to animals.

THE CHARMING
bold, daring, in love
When you fall in love with a royal heir (even if unrequited), you may take Secretly
Royal in addi on to a move from your own playbook when you next advance.
SECRETLY ROYAL
You discover or reveal that you’re actually the royal heir to a throne somewhere.
Choose one, and the GM will tell you one or more complica ons, like everyone
thinks you’re dead, someone capable is hun ng you, you’re exiled, or that you’ll
need proof of your claim from somewhere dangerous.
■ Your throne is currently occupied by a usurper.
■ You’ve run away from home to avoid some unpleasant duty.
■ You have a mission you must accomplish before you can return home.
If you have Secretly Royal, you may take one of these Moves each me you level
in addi on to one from your own playbook.
SECOND-HAND ASSIST
If you find yourself in immediate dire straits or imprisoned somewhere, one of
your love’s allies will always find you and offer just enough assistance to give you
a figh ng chance.
FAITHFUL HEART
Take +1 Ongoing to resist any compulsions or blandishments, magical or oth-
erwise, that would cause you to betray your beloved or anything your beloved
holds dear.
If you have Secretly Royal, you may take one of these Moves each me you level
instead of one from your own playbook.
DRAMATIC ENTRANCE
When you reveal your true nobility to all present, roll+CHA. On a 10+, take 3
Hold. On a 7-9, just one. Spend this Hold to:
■ Arrive in the nick of me where your beloved needs you, if it’s even re-
motely plausible (“a deer gave me a li ” counts as plausible in this case)
■ Compel those of good heart to acknowledge your nobility.
■ Cause an antagonist to hesitate, flinch, or reconsider their life choices.
You may also use this Hold as if it were from Defend.
FAITHFUL FRIEND
You have a faithful, non-human friend who is always near when you need them.
When you ask them to do something they are capable of, roll+WIS. On a 10+,
they do it the best they can. On a 7-9, there is a drawback or complica on.
LUCK OF HEROES
When you Defy Danger, if you describe how you do it with panache and reckless
daring, you can always use CHA.
