Protection

Edit Page Content

You protect another person. Your experience as a guardian allows you to grow close to your charge and learn more about yourself. This isn’t a normal escort mission. It’s one of the defining duties of your life. This Story Path is for people who want to roleplay bodyguards and protectors. While the 1st event must be the first completed, the other four events can be completed in any order as the GM surprises you with Attacks. Should the person you’re protecting die before you complete this Story Path, you can immediately begin a new path.

1st Event: Named Protector

Completion: You complete this event after you agree to protect an NPC for a time. You might create a formal contract to serve as a bodyguard, or you could watch over your charge out of a sense of duty or morality. This person might need a protector because they Travel through a dangerous area, because they attract trouble in public, or because someone is out to get them.

Reward: Increase the die size of one of your Physical Skills by 1.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th Event: Learn About Your Charge

Completion: You complete this event after you take time to get to know the person you’re protecting. You might bond over a meal, while hiding somewhere, or during Travel through space.

Reward: Increase the die size of one of Social Skills by 1.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th Event: Can’t Leave You Alone for Two Seconds

Completion: Your charge gets into trouble. They might attract the wrong kind of attention, slip off to have some fun that gets out of hand, or pickpocket the wrong person. You complete this event when you get them out of that trouble.

Reward: Increase the die size of one of your Physical Skills by 1.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th Event: Subtle Attack

Completion: You complete this event after you help your Charge Survive a subtle attack. This attack is not a full-scale assault, but rather a single sneak attack, a poisoning, an attempted theft, or the like.

Reward: Select one special ability from your Species.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th Event: All-Out Assault

Completion: Are you still standing at the end of it all? Is your charge? You complete this event after you help your Charge Survive a full-scale attack.

Reward if your charge stays safe: Gain the I’ll Cover You special ability. When you are adjacent to another player character, they reduce the complexity of skill rolls they make to avoid enemy Attacks by 1 (to a minimum of 2). If you complete this Story Path a second or greater time and your charge lives, select one special ability from your Species.

Reward if your charge dies or is abducted: Select one special ability from your Species.
