Tags #
Tags are narrative details about your character, each with a level from 1✦ to 5✦, that can provide a bonus to your rolls. You can only add one tag to a roll.
The following are the three types of tags. The different types of tags are functionally identical except for your starting amount in each type during character creation.
-
Traits represent who your character is and what forms their identity. Example traits include
Scientist
,Elf
,Gigantic
,Stubborn
,Head of the Council
, andGood Dad
. -
Assets represent external items or allies your character has access to. Example assets include
Pet Cat
,Assault Rifle
,Full-Plate Armor
,Haunted RV
,Loyal Butler
, andBack-Alley Hideout
. -
Abilities represent special powers or moves your character can use. Example abilities include
Fireball
,Deduction
,Telekinesis
,Necromancy
,Wrestling
, andBiology
.
Once you exhaust a tag, you cannot benefit from its bonus again until it’s recovered. You can recover tags through boons or rest.
A tag being exhausted does not remove its presence in your character or the narrative. For example, if you have the ability Teleportation
and exhaust it, you can still teleport in the story while it is exhausted. You just can’t benefit from the Teleportation
tag when rolling to do so.
