Starting Moves

You are human, so you get this move.

Human

When you pray for guidance, even for a moment, and ask, “What here is evil?” the GM will tell you, honestly.

You start with these moves:

Lay on Hands (Cha)

When you touch someone, skin to skin, and pray for their well-being, roll+CHA. On a 10+ you heal 1d8 damage or remove one disease. On a 7–9, they are healed, but the damage or disease is transferred to you.

Armored

You ignore the clumsy tag on armor you wear.

I Am the Law

When you give an NPC an order based on your divine authority, roll+Cha. On a 7+, they choose one:

• Do what you say
• Back away cautiously, then flee
• Attack you

On a 10+, you also take +1 forward against them. On a miss, they do as they please and you take -1 forward against them.

Quest

When you dedicate yourself to a mission through prayer and ritual cleansing, state what you set out to do:

• Slay _______, a great blight on the land
• Defend _______ from the iniquities that beset them
• Discover the truth of _______

Then choose up to two boons:

• An unwavering sense of direction to _______.
• Invulnerability to _______ (e.g., edged weapons, fire, enchantment, etc.)
• A mark of divine authority
• Senses that pierce lies
• A voice that transcends language
• A freedom from hunger, thirst, and sleep

The GM will then tell you what vow or vows is required of you to maintain your blessing:

• Honor (forbidden: cowardly tactics and tricks)
• Temperance (forbidden: gluttony in food, drink, and pleasure of the flesh)
• Piety (required: observance of daily holy services)
• Valor (forbidden: suffering an evil creature to live)
• Truth (forbidden: lies)
• Hospitality (required: comfort to those in need, no matter who they are)
