Vocations

Connected [  ]

The Connected Vocation allows the following special Exploits:

  • Exploit: With access to one or more contacts and opportunity, during a Transition Scene you may acquire an appropriate d8 Asset of some kind (GM's discretion applies); you can give this Asset to someone else to use.
  • Exploit: With access and opportunity, if you are able to get in touch with a contact you may call in a favor of some kind (GM's discretion applies).
  • Exploit: Spend a Transition Scene to gain a d6 Tier minion or up to three d4 Tier minions for use in the next Action Scene (GM's discretion applies).

Priest [  ]

The Priest Vocation allows the following special Exploits:

  • Exploit: Among those who adhere to or respect your faith, you may make any reasonable demand and expect to have it carried out (GM's discretion applies).
  • Exploit: You may perform a sermon for a group of the faithful who may clear Ego Stress or step down Ego Trauma at the conclusion of your performance.
  • Exploit: You may step up or double Psyche for an action or reaction.

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.

Tyrone is a huge man and has great strength and physical durability. However, as strong as his flesh might be, it is the unyielding power of his faith that makes him truly remarkable, able to smite the wicked and unjust supernatural forces that seek to beset and travail the innocent with a furious vengeance and righteousness. Supernatural forces collide with the bastion of his fervor and find his belief no easy burden to shift, and he is filled by his love for the Lord with vast strength with which to grapple with the unclean and unworthy.

Note: Conceptually, the weight of Big T's faith is so strong that it is tangible to supernatural creatures and forces. This is represented mechanically using the Density trait, modified by a SFX and Limit. As Density can be stepped down once and be used as either the Strength trait or the Durability trait , this makes Big T quite potent and durable against supernatural opposition. However, he is as vulnerable to mundane threats such as a punk with a gun as any normal human would be. This unusual arrangement can require some adjudication in unusual circumstances, such as when faced with a supernaturally strong enemy armed with an ordinary baseball bat, but the intent is to err on Big T's side in such situations.
