    When you hinder a creature, it makes an Intellect or Will roll

    (your choice) with 1 bane.

      • Success: target is immune to this hinder for 24 hours.

      • Failed Intellect roll: target becomes WEAKENED (luck ends).

      • Failed Will roll: target becomes VULNERABLE (luck ends).

        While vulnerable this way, it attacks targets other than you

        with 1 bane.


    At Level 5: Use a reaction to hinder a creature within 5 yards

    when it makes an attribute roll. Attacks against hindered creatures

    deal an extra 1d6 damage.

    perform in any style. Rolls related to performing: 1 boon.


    If you perform for 10+ minutes, every non-friendly creature

    present makes a Will roll. On a failure, it becomes friendly

    to you and counts as your ally (until you or an ally harms it).

    [Success: immune for 24 hours.]


  Legends and Lore

    Ask the Sage one question about a legend, magic, history,

    a people, or a place. Make a luck roll.
