Vocations

Survivalist [ ][ ]

The Survivalist Vocation allows the following special Exploits:

Exploit: During a Transition Scene you may find enough food and water to sustain a small group of travellers for a day.
Exploit: You may step up and double Awareness when taking an action or reaction related to tracking or hunting.
Exploit: You may step up and double Finesse when sneaking around in the wilderness.

Standard Exploits

All Vocations have the following standard exploits available to them.

Exploit: Augment Dice Pool Result: for a dice pool result that inludes your Vocation trait die, you may either keep an extra die for your total or step up the effect die.
Exploit: Create a Asset: a Asset is a temporary d6 trait that represents a professional contact, a piece of equipment, or some kind of useful knowledge related to your Vocation. The Asset lasts until it is removed by someone or because it becomes no longer relevant to the narrative. Write down [Name of the Asset]: d6; you may add it as an additional die whenever the Asset is relevant to an action or reaction. How long it may take to create a particular Asset, and whether it can be done as part of an Action Scene or must be done in a Transition Scene is left to common sense and GM's discretion.
Exploit: Affect Complications: if there is a Complication that your Vocation pertains to, you can step it down or remove it from play by describing how your expertise allows you to overcome the Complication. If the Complication is a d6 eliminate it, if it is d8 or higher step it down. Alternately, if you can justify how your Vocation applies, you may create a d6 Complication and put it into play or step up an existing Complication.

When an outsider looks at Spatz they see a large, hulking, dangerously feral barbarian...and they are not wrong as Spatz is exactly that. He's burly. He's scruffy. He wears no shoes. His finger and toe nails are claw-like and sharp. His icy blue eyes always seem to have a predatory look about them, and pierce the heart of all but the bravest. He has basically no social graces to speak of, and when it rains he smells like a wet dog. Bearing the ancient blood curse of his clan, Spatzenjagr is a Wulfwaren...i.e. a werewolf. Even in human form his claw-like finger and toe nails and sharp feral teeth are a threat to the unwary and he needs no weapon; thus he carries only a large hunting knife which he mostly uses as a tool. He also wears no armor other than a thick fur mantle patched together from the hides of things he's killed and eaten. He wears his tartan in the traditional manner of his clan, as a kilt...it isn't particularly clean.
