Mega-bork. Aegis too. But they're also thematic... random idea: what if some advantages cost you two 'picks'? Like... super advantages or something.

Or what if there was a formal levelling system where you could unlock one super advantage later in the game?

Hello. You have reached the Goddess Relief Line. What is your wish?"

Note on Licenses: A Goddess may only have one License.

3rd Class, Limited license: You may not have much power, but you still have brains! And an incredible knack for invention. You gain a +2 on any Skill roll involving building a new device.

2nd Class, Limited License: You could do a lot more to help, and probably be pretty good at it too. But you tend to let your emotions get in the way of doing things without resorting to violence. You gain a +2 on Conflict rolls.

1st Class, Limited License: You have an incredible amount of power! So much so that it has to be sealed away when you are on Earth. Three times an episode, you can gain a +2 bonus to any roll.

1st Class, Unlimited License: You are the Goddess all other goddesses strive to be. You get a +1 bonus to every roll. Selecting this advantage costs an additional advantage selection.

(More to come, but my break is over)

Just to check did player chooses just two archtypes or three cuz with kami archtype we might have a problem

lol yeah but like I said....WIP. I rattled it off, off the top of my head between customers (I'm at work if you can't tell by that). Mostly just getting the ideas down and then going back to fix them later. Though "Heavenly Body" is supposed to have a "once per episode" line in there...must have gotten lost in the cust and paste.

Aegis is just to avoid damage, not win a fight. So you can get hit in the face with a baseball and be okay, but if you get into a tussle with another supernatural type your not as tough...could probably cut that down with a "once per" as well.

Unless I miss my guess, yours is drawing pretty heavily on DanMachi... I think a synthesis of both might be in order.

Never read it. I was trying to think of Kami traits from things like Kami-sam Drop, Tsugomo, Monku No Tsukeyou Ga Nai Rabukome, and such.

See I'd be really really interested in this. I'm just worried it would be really unbalanced to allow abilities to evolve.

[AvatarVecna]

See I'd be really really interested in this. I'm just worried it would be really unbalanced to allow abilities to evolve.

The simple thing I thought of was "what if you just added the advantage to itself?" Like, any passive modifiers have their bonus doubled ("Shameless: Allure +4 while naked"), and any with multiple uses get their usage number doubled ("Graceful: 4/e treat roll as if you rolled a 4 instead of actually rolling"). You could probably also pair this with a system that allowed for additional traits, potentially with those additional traits not being limited to your original archetypes, but essentially as extra quirks.

Would that be unbalanced? Probably, but that's more because of the general imbalances in the powers as they exist right now: Celestial's "Purity" is pretty lame as a 3/e power, and making it 6/e would not make it any less lame; similarly, could you imagine a game with Shadow Out Of Time showing up twice? How about if "Heart, Soul, Memory" featured Just As Planned showing up 4 times per episode?

EDIT: Alternatively, instead of developing the additional powers as quirks, maybe they'd be limited to your original archetypes or an archetype the GM thinks is a fitting third archetype for your character to develop into, based on how they've been developing throughout the episode?

I'm actually tempted to try and run a HSHC game where that happens. If I could only think of a plot outside of char-gen...

[AvatarVecna]

So, I'm going over various powers with the interest of posting some rebalancing of my own, and there's a few advantage types that I have unfortunately limited experience with, and yet have a low opinion of just on gut feeling, so I thought I'd ask for other people's opinions. The first is this (which is the only advantage like it that I could find in core):

Doujinshi Enthusiast: Three times per episode, you may attempt an extra D4 Luck roll which grants a +2 on an Allure or Conflict roll if successful.

My understanding of this is that it's either a roll that can be influenced by powers (and is thus basically 3/e +2 to Allure/Conflict with no set-up difficulties), or can't be influenced by powers (and is thus a 50/50 chance of getting the bonus, which seems terrible). Presuming that the first situation is correct, is this power - and similar homebrew powers like it - a good example of a balanced 3/e power? It seems decent enough to me, but I've never seen it in play, so I thought I'd ask.

Now for the second type, which is a far more common mechanic:

Cold Shoulder: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Allure roll as a success.

Hired Muscle: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Conflict roll as a success.

Easily Forgiven: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Skill roll as a success.

Destiny’s Bond: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Luck roll as a success.

Security Detail: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Conflict roll as a success.

Heir to the Dojo: Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed roll as a success if having other people assist you would be helpful.

So, the version of this power available to the Ojou, Idol Talent, and Dojikko appears to be balanced around giving them a leg-up on their weak roll, ut then Chuunibyou seems pretty neutral to Luck IMO, while the Tsundere has three separate powers in core that can provide Allure bonuses (one of which is a passive Allure/Skill bonus), so Allure's not necessarily their weak point. Of course, Martial Artist has the outlier here, but other than that one...are these abilities any good? I have a rather low opinion of them, but I've yet to see them in play very much, so maybe they're worth it? I dunno, what do people think of these?

Final advantage type I'm curious about:

Now It's On: Whenever you lose an opposed Allure roll, you gain +2 on your next Conflict or Skill roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

Lovable Klutz: If you lose an opposed Skill roll or fail an unopposed Skill roll, +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability cannot be stacked with itself; if you fail two Skills rolls and then make an Allure roll, the bonus remains at +2 and an additional use does not carry over.

These powers have all the problems of the previous one (they seem to focus on a failed attempt to succeed at a bad roll) but without the reason to roll your bad roll instead of something better (since you only get the bonus if you attempt what's probably your bad roll, and lose). Is this advantage any good, and I'm just missing something, or is this as terrible as my gut is telling me?

[Illven]

I would say for the 1/ep auto successes. They tend to be decent. With heir to the dojo possibly being overpowered. Of course that relies on the dm giving high difficulty, high reward type rolls.

But I've seen games where heir to the dojo is effectively +5 VP per episode unless you strictly enforce what having other people's aide would be helpful on.

[Esprit15]

The fail a bad roll advantages are good for builds that operate on failing rolls already. Builds that make use of A Thousand Faces or Down and Dirty like them for the extra bonus. It also works nicely with Compassion, or Just as Planned (depending on DM ruling). If you plan to try your best on every roll, they're not that great, but if you plan to bomb a few, they work for the extra 16-33% chance of success.

[Ionbound]

Made some minor balance changes to werewolf (nerfed Intimidating Presence to a -1 penalty, and Partial Shapeshifting to a +1 bonus)

So hey, jut letting you guys know that I'm gauging interest for a game that will let you use homebrew archetypes. A more detailed description is in the Recruitment Thread here, so you can check out the guidelines I'll be setting, and if it's something you're interested, let me know.

[GM_3826]

Not sure whether or not I can just share ideas, but this is a fairly minor thing so I will do so anyway.

Not an archetype. Just a universal advantage.

Bath Lover: You enjoy warm baths... perhaps a little too much. +2 to Luck rolls for the protagonist to walk in on you while bathing, and +1 to Allure rolls while taking a bath.

Worth noting that RAI is that this includes hot springs. Which... are in just about every anime ever. The +2 to Luck is still situational (since it can be assumed that the protagonist will see the haremettes by default), but the +1 to Allure is almost guaranteed to come up at some point. Doesn't include swimming pools, though.

Like I said, from experience in one complete game, one long running game, and countless short lived games, I have never seen a hot spring episode. It tends to overlap too strongly with the beach episode, which are also popular and more universal.

I ran a shower scene recently that this advantage might have applied to... but even so I agree that it's too situational. It's not like I'm going to run another 'bathing' scene soon, after all.

Plus, if you want an allure bonus in this scenario, Shameless is both stronger and more widely applicable.

...There are plenty of really situational advantages in this game, though? And some Advantages that are directly outclassed by another.

What if you change the +1 to a +2? Then the Advantage has a bit more oomph.

Edit: You also don't necessarily bathe naked in a hot spring, so there's no direct overlap between Shameless and this Advantage in the first place.

[AvatarVecna]

...There are plenty of really situational advantages in this game, though? And some Advantages that are directly outclassed by another.

What if you change the +1 to a +2? Then the Advantage has a bit more oomph.

The ones that are actually that situational are generally considered too terrible to be worth taking. Generally speaking, the community's approach to a power giving a passive +2 is that it shouldn't be either "always on" or "easy to justify often", and most of the passive +2s considered worthwhile fall into this category, and are comparable to limited-use powers in terms of usefulness. Powers that are more situational generally either apply to multiple rolls or have a bigger bonus.

Edit: You also don't necessarily bathe naked in a hot spring, so there's no direct overlap between Shameless and this Advantage in the first place.

If it's not overlapping with Shameless, it's overlapping with Natural Swimmer, which is a power situational enough to deserve two +2s, but no so situational that it can't come up often enough to be worth taking. If we're talking the Luck part of the power, it's a more-circumstantial version of Peeping Tom that activates when the protag stumbles onto you bathing, rather than you stumbling onto anybody doing something risque.

This power is a neat idea, I can only think of a single scene in any game I've played where it could maybe be applied (and that's the shower scene NP mentioned), and a power that comes up once per season to give a measly +2 isn't worth ever considering. Shower/bath scenes might be common in anime in general, but unless you can show me a couple animes with at least three (and preferably five or more) shower/bath scenes per episode, I can't say I have much faith in the frequency of this advantage.

Ugh, they'd all have skin like prunes! Looking at scenes/season though, I feel like Yuru Yuri probably qualifies.

But really, it doesn't matter what happens in anime, what matters is what happens in games. Most GMs are probably going to look for more variety than your average anime.

[AvatarVecna]

I'm in the process of rejiggering the HSHC system, and one of the goals is the elimination of "fun ruining" powers - that is, powers that take away another player's ability to choose their actions. Abilities that give penalties don't fall into this category (since they don't remove options, but rather just make certain options less optimal), and are in fact much more common. No, the kinds of abilities being purged are things like Just As Planned and Shadow Out Of Time, which even if they were made more balanced versions of their current ability are being changed because the way those powers work inherently makes the roll far less fun for the person involved.

With that being said...what do people think of the Dojikko's "Taking You With Me" power? The current version, to the best of my knowledge, forces another player to use your roll and modifier, but not necessarily for the roll type you're rolling; is this un-fun? If so, would it be more fun if you just made them take a natural 1 but they could use their own modifier? Is it not un-fun because they can still choose what roll they're going for? Looking forward to hearing people's thoughts.

[Esprit15]

That would honestly make more sense.

[steelsmiter]

I'm in the process of rejiggering the HSHC system

I asked about doing an "inspired by" game that used a fusion of various PBtA games, and asked for permission, but neither got permission, nor was I denied it. The game has since evolved into something FAR beyond the original inspirations (and various gallery searches have produced their own inspirations) if anyone is interested, I have a Discord server for all my games, and they can PM me for the invite. (I'd rather not disrupt the flow of On Topic discussion here too much with something that's barely a tangent.)

Spoiler: Preface

Show

So, a few weeks back, I started working on this system remix partially because of a longstanding issue with the way the system was balanced, and partially because of an epiphany I had while discussing the system's flaws with an IRL friend. The issue this system has balance-wise is one I've always felt was present, but was unable to accurately and succinctly express the problem until this conversation gave me the words to do so: to put it simply, just about every power that has unlimited uses per episode is highly dependent on how many rolls per episode they are allowed to apply to and, in games where all roll types are equally represented, how circumstantial those powers are. I'll show you by comparing a few examples picked from the Core archetypes:

Tsundere's "Verbal Barrage" gives a +2 to Conflict rolls involving verbal arguments, and theoretically has no bearing on a contest of wills or a physical tussle; thus, it might potentially be applicable to 60% of Conflict rolls at a stretch. Shrinking Violet's "Vulnerable" gives a +2 to Luck rolls involving ending up in peril, something which is fairly easy to apply to a roll if you're particularly clumsy, or are bullied fairly often, or are allergic to everything (any of which are things easily built into a character when first made); thus, while only slightly circumstantial, this power should be applicable to 90+% of Luck rolls. Next up is Meganekko's "Honor Student" granting a +2 to Skill rolls involving academics, puzzles, and logic; applying this to a standardized test, a trivia contest, or an argument shouldn't be particularly difficult, but is it reasonable to allow a player this bonus when they "use their knowledge of physics and theoretically optimal running techniques" to participate in a running contest? It's definitely a stretch, as are most Skill rolls that are more matters of the body than of the mind, so I'd say this power ends up applying to maybe 60% of Skill rolls if you're creative about it. Finally, Miko's "Maiden's Garb" grants a +2 to Allure rolls while wearing your religious attire; this power is circumstantial, but less so episode-to-episode, and more setting-to-setting; if you're playing in a school setting that uses uniforms, this likely will apply to maybe 30% of Allure rolls if you're creative and lucky; if you're playing in a school setting that does not use uniforms, this advantage will apply to 100% of Allure rolls.

The extreme variant on this (30%-90% or 60%-100%) makes it difficult to consider these powers balanced against each other. If these powers are to be considered equally valuable, the GM has to rigorously make sure they are only allowing these powers to be applied exactly as often as the rest of them, which essentially requires setting a percentage for yourself at the beginning of the episode (up to and including 100%), planning out the episode to determine how often each roll will occur, and then sticking to that percentage religiously. Unfortunately, whatever percentage you pick is going to be unfair to somebody; some powers will be applying more often than they have any right to, while others will be barred from applying for no reason beyond game balance (which breaks immersion).

Now, due to the nature of this game, creative power use should still definitely be a part of the game, but it is my hope that this remix of the HSHC system will minimize the impact circumstance has on how useful these powers are.

Spoiler: Design Philosophy

Show

Each archetype features six advantages, and there will be six each of Unlimited and Supernatural Unlimited powers. This system remix is balanced around the new passive powers: once the passive +2s are rebalanced according to the design philosophy below, the other passives and the limited-use powers will be rebalanced to be on par with the passives, to the best of my ability to estimate their worth.

New Design Philosophy

Every roll has an Attribute and a Class assigned to it when presented by the GM. Classes designate whether a roll is an Allure roll, Conflict roll, Luck roll, or Skill roll. Attributes designate a roll as a Mental roll, Physical roll, Social roll, or a Unlimited roll. Physical rolls focus on tests of the body, Mental rolls focus on tests of the mind, and Social rolls focus on tests of reputation, generally speaking. Many powers in this remix of the HSHC system will reference a roll's Attribute the same way that many now reference a roll's Class. If it a roll is designated as a non-Unlimited Attribute, powers granting a bonus to that Attribute/Class combo should more or less automatically apply if they can tangentially relate to the scenario, while the other two Non-Unlimited Attributes for that class should be harder to justify applying to this scene (and nearly impossible to get both of the others without a lenient DM or a very creative player).

If a roll is an Unlimited Attribute, it should be relatively easy to apply any of your bonuses to that attribute. You may not stack non-Unlimited Attribute bonuses together (although you may stack non-Unlimited penalties together). When players choose strong and weak rolls at the beginning of the game, they choose one Class and one Attribute for each, and the bonuses/penalties can combine together. For example, a character might select Mental/Luck as their strong rolls and Physical/Skill as their weak rolls; they would have +2 on Mental/Luck rolls, +1 on Mental/Allure, Mental/Conflict, and Social/Luck rolls, +0 on Social/Allure, Social/Conflict, Physical/Luck, and Mental/Skill rolls, -1 on Physical/Allure, Physical/Conflict, and Social/Skill rolls, and -2 on Physical/Skill rolls.

As an example, let us consider a character with powers "Brawler", "Argumentative", and "Bully", which grant a +2 on Physical Conflict, +2 on Mental Conflict, and +2 on Social Conflict respectively. They are presented with a Physical Conflict roll; applying "Brawler" should be fairly easy, but applying "Argumentative" or "Bully" should be a bit harder, while applying both should take a significantly convincing explanation for why a mental and social bonus helps you win a fist fight. However, the next roll is a "Unlimited Conflict" roll, and which combination of the three powers applies during this roll is dependent on how creative the player is with their power use; if they can come up with a way to make their mental, physical, and social Conflict bonuses relevant to the situation, they can and should get the full +6 bonus. However, if they also had the power "Martial Artist" also granting +2 to Physical Conflict checks, they could not apply Martial Artist and Brawler to the same roll, because both have the Physical Attribute.

The majority of passive powers (which will serve as the system's new balance point) will have three optional bonuses, from which you can pick two. Alternatively, you can select all three options, in exchange for taking the penalty option as well. Finally, one of the options available (marked with a *) can be upgraded to a Unlimited power, in exchange for either giving up an option, or taking the penalty option as well. You cannot select the penalty option twice.

Spoiler: Example Power

Show

Meganekko/Honor Student

Whether due to an astounding natural intellect, highly effective study habits, or an insane amount of hard work, you are at or near the top of your class in most subjects, and constantly pushing yourself to do better. At chargen, you may select either A) one Unlimited* bonus, B) two bonuses, C) three bonuses and a penalty, or D) one Unlimited Bonus, one bonus, and a penalty:

• +2 on Mental/Allure rolls to appear attractive/impressive due to your intellect.
• +2 on Social/Luck rolls when another student is in need of academic assistance.
• +2 on Mental/Skill rolls involving academic knowledge, logic, or raw intellect.*
• -2 on Social/Allure rolls where you antisocial personality or reputation as a know-it-all/teacher's pet comes into play.

A player who takes a Unlimited version of a normally non-Unlimited bonus is still tied to that power's fluff, even though the power should come into play much more often. GMs and homebrewers should be careful about what bonuses they allow to be potentially Unlimited: within the fluff of the ability, it should make sense that it could potentially apply to all rolls of that Class, be they mental, physical, or social. In the example given, a Meganekko could take Honor Student and only take the Mental Unlimited Skill bonus, and the skill bonus would apply to physical and social Skill rolls because the character is so smart and knowledgeable that they can apply their knowledge of physics and biology to a footrace or a political debate. It would be much harder to explain how, for instance, being super-smart to the point that people seek you out for help makes you so Lucky that it affects your physical Luck as well.

The final rule change is on power stacking. In the old system, mechanically identical effects could not be stacked, but because fluff was a significant mechanical factor, differing fluff allowed powers to be stacked together. Under the new system, fluff is irrelevant to mechanics, and you cannot stack powers if they have the exact same mechanical effect. Now, a few notes on some intentional loopholes in this rule: a power (such as Honor Student) where one of the options is "+2 on Unlimited/Skill rolls" is a mechanically different power from a power that grants "+2 on Skill rolls when non-Skill rolls are an option"; the majority of the time, they will essentially be a +2 to all Skill rolls, but standalone skill rolls would not get the second bonus, so the powers are mechanically different enough and you're allowed to have both of them.

The second intentional loophole is a bit more interesting: due to the way many passive flat-bonus powers work now (where you can select from a list of options), you can take the same power multiple times, as long as they have separate mechanical effects. In fact, the way these passive powers are set up, there are eight separate ways you could take the power - and thus, a character that takes a passive flat six times as their entire mechanical build is a legitimate build. Keep in mind: while you can have multiple versions of the same power in this manner, circumstances still matter, and also you still can't have multiple non-Unlimited attributes applying simultaneously. This allows for a character who is hyperfocused on a particular aspect of their characterization.

Spoiler: TL;DR New Rules

Show

1. Rolls now have Attributes (Mental/Physical/Social/Unlimited), and powers with non-Unlimited can't stack with others of the same attribute (and can't always be applied).

2. At chargen, choose a Strong Attribute roll and a Weak Attribute roll, in addition to normal Strong/Weak rolls.

3. When selecting a Passive Power, select two bonuses. Alternatively, you can upgrade one of the bonuses (marked as special) to an the marked Attribute, in exchange for either giving up the other bonus or taking a penalty. Alternatively, you can take the third bonus in exchange for taking the penalty as well.

Spoiler: Character Development (Optional Rebuild/Upgrade Rules)

Show

Spoiler: Upgrades

Show

Characters grow more capable of over time, whether due to getting more fleshed out, or due to power creep. Either way, you can accommodate this increase in fluff capabilities with mechanical upgrades to characters. At the end of every episode, every character gains one new advantage (or two, in high-powered games) from their existing archetypes/universal sources (or any archetype, in a particularly high-powered game). This power can be mechanically identical to a power they've already taken (and can even be the exact power they've already taken, if they like).

Spoiler: Rebuilding

Show

Maybe your character has gone in an unexpected direction, or maybe some of your powers aren't useful as often as you thought they'd be. Guess it's time to rebuild your character - make sure to ask the GM and the other players if this is alright, and if they take too long responding, you'll have to wait 'til next episode (since it's unfair to rebuild in the middle of the episode, after all). Well not anymore! Basically, the point of having official Rebuilding Rules is to have them pre-established so that you don't need to ask the entire group every time you've got an issue with your mechanics.

At the end of every episode, each player may select up to two of their advantages (or three, in high-powered games) and trade it away for another advantage. You still need to follow the rules on whether you can take the new advantage or not (you cannot, for example, gain a new quirk by trading away a non-quirk). If your GM is also using the Upgrade rules, you can also use your rebuilding opportunities to downgrade/upgrade powers.

I want to emphasize that these rules are not intended to establish an absolute maximum allowed rebuilding, but rather that they are intended to establish a baseline of what's allowed without getting a full consensus from the group: this allows you to make small changes to your character in between episodes with the understanding that everybody knew this was an option from the beginning. If the direction your character goes in is extreme enough to warrant a more thorough rebuild (such as when bringing in a new character entirely, or a Ladette/Sensei-chan who throws away the bottle after drunkenly seducing one of her students, or a Sports Star/Genki who was in a horrible accident that left them paralyzed from the waist down), that should still definitely be an option for you to discuss with your DM, but changes that significant should require group discussion, and are beyond the scope of these baseline rebuild rules.

Idiot Savant: You're honestly pretty terrible at most things, but when you're doing something you're truly passionate about, your hyperfocused talents pay off. Your strong rolls improve by +1; you gain an additional weak roll of both types of your choice. You cannot combine this power with any other power that changes the number of strong/weak rolls you have. This cannot be combined with any other power that improves your strong roll passively.

Minor Talents: Whether due to a tendency to dabble, a desire to be more well-rounded, or just a lack of true focus, your life has blessed you with above-average capabilities in a number of small fields of expertise. At character creation, select three powers from any source that don't have a limited number of uses per episode; every roll Class must be present at least once across the three powers, and you may not take any penalty options. Up to twice per episode per power, you may select one of your Minor Talent powers and act as if you possessed that power for the duration of the current scene.

Outdoorsperson: You've got a passion for some combination of camping, hiking, and hunting. Passive Power:

• +2 on Physical/Conflict rolls involving close combat.
• +2 on Mental/Luck rolls involving the application of outdoorsy knowledge.^{Unlimited/Luck}
• +2 on Physical/Skill rolls involving outdoorsy activities.
• -2 on Social/Skill rolls where your relative inability to relate to others might prove problematic.

Madam Not-Appearing-In-This-Scene: Sometimes you've just got somewhere else to be - or maybe you're in the scene, but you're just there and not really contributing. That's okay though - it'll make your comeback feel more pronounced. Twice per episode, you may choose to skip the current roll entirely; if you do so, then in the following scene, any VP rewards count as doubled for you. You cannot choose to skip two scenes in a row.

Romantic Interest: It's a harem anime, what do you expect? Plot and circumstance warping in favor of a cute girl is just how things work around here. Twice per episode, you may roll an Allure roll in place of a Luck roll.

• +2 on Mental/Luck rolls to have things go your way in line with astrology.^{Unlimited/Luck}
• +2 on Mental/Skill rolls involving astrology, astronomy, or navigation.

Supernatural Superiority: You're not as flawed as your more human counterparts. You have no weak rolls. You may choose an additional strong roll of each type, and gain Unlimited as a strong roll. This counts as passively improving your strong rolls.

Touchy Spot: Let it suffice to say that your biology includes a bit of an inconvenient erogenous zone. Thrice per episode, you may roll an extra D5 Unlimited/Luck roll. If successful, you may add +4 to a current Allure or Conflict roll.

Unleashed: However friendly you may appear, you have the heart of a monster, a supernatural threat that one can't help but be wary of. Twice per episode, you may (instead of rolling) take a natural 1 on an Allure roll. You may (instead of rolling) take a natural 6 on any non-Allure roll later in the episode.

Weird Calls To Weird: It's rare to find just a single supernatural being in an area; usually, they tend to flock together, even if only subconsciously. Thrice per episode, you may impose a -2 on all Luck rolls (including your own).

Creative Soul: Everything gives you an idea of something to paint, or write, or sing, or sculpt, or dance, or comedy, or...well, you get the idea. See what I did there? Passive Power:

Impressive: Some people look good by...well, looking good. But some people (like you) know that appearances can't compare to actually being good at something. Twice per episode, you may make a Skill roll in place of an Allure roll.

Multiple Personalities: Are you crazy, or just a really dedicated method actor? Either way, you have a tendency to push yourself in areas you don't normally excel in...and I guess the placebo effect works, because you tend to be pretty good when you switch things up on yourself. Thrice per episode, you may reassign your strong/weak rolls for the rest of the episode.

Steal The Spotlight: Whatever had people at each other's throats, it won't be an issue once you make a scene and make everything about you. Twice per episode, you may make a Skill roll in place of a Conflict roll.

Superstitious: Have you read one too many horror stories while researching your next book? Is your art inspired by the supernatural and preternatural forces that cause you to shiver in the night? Do you reflexively flinch whenever somebody invokes the Scottish Curse? Thrice per episode, you may make a D5 Unlimited/Luck roll. If successful, you gain +4 on a current Conflict or Skill roll.

Tortured Artist: Your body, mind, and reputation are in shambles...but with what comes out of it, who can say you're not doing well for yourself? Once per episode, you may treat a failed Unopposed Allure roll as a success for the purposes of VP.

"Protagonist-kun! So good to see you!"

You aren't quite a fit to your biological gender; whether you're a guy in touch with his feminine side, a tomboyish girl, a genderfluid individual, or were just born in the wrong body, you've never felt quite right with yourself, and neither have many others. But Protagonist-kun accepts you for who you are, rather than who they expect you to be, and you've fallen rather hard for them.

Androgynous: Gender stereotypes are for suckers and tools; you do what's fun and enjoyable for you, regardless of whether it's considered 'appropriate'. Passive Power:

Headstrong: A lifetime being lectured to about proper gender roles and the importance of fitting in can leave a person rather stubborn and argumentative. Passive Power:

Leave 'Em Speechless: It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, you can be just as good as any of them if you put the effort in. Thrice per episode, you may (instead of rolling) take a natural 4 and ignore any penalties you'd otherwise suffer.

Now It's On!: Sometimes, you aren't able to impress people with your looks or reputation. When that time comes, it just means you've got to show them you've got the talent and skill to cash the checks your mouth's been making. Whenever you lose an opposed Allure roll or fail an unopposed one, you gain +4 on a Conflict roll or a Skill roll later in the episode. You may stack charges, if possible.

Outcast: One would think it mattered less in this day and age, but particularly for those still in school, not fitting in is the greatest crime of all. Thrice per episode, you may impose a -2 penalty on all Social rolls in the current scene (including your own).

Sharp Wit: Scathing sarcasm, witty retorts, cutting remarks, backhanded complements...you have many ways of leveraging your intelligence in day-to-day life. Thrice per episode, you may make an extra D5 Unlimited/Skill roll. If successful, you gain +4 to a current Allure or Conflict roll.

Vulnerable: You hate relying on pity...which sucks, because for some reason you're excellent at invoking it without trying when you lose. Whenever you lose an opposed Conflict roll, you gain +4 on an Allure roll or a Luck roll later in the episode. You may stack charges, if possible.

• +2 on Physical/Skill rolls feats of strength, agility, or vitality.

Competitive Spirit: You'll be damned if you're gonna let anybody show you up. Even if you have to work twice as hard as everyone else combined, you'll prove your the best! +1 on all rolls.

Friends Among The Fae: Most people probably don't believe that you're blessed by the friendship of the fairy folk, but most people aren't anywhere near as lucky as you at avoiding misfortune when it strikes. Strange how things seem to go so wrong around you, but only for other people. Twice per episode, all other girls participating in the current roll must roll twice and take the worse result.

Irresistible Brogue: Something about your accent and speech tics just draws people in like nothing else. +1 on Allure if non-Allure was an option.

Luck O' The Irish: Whether good or bad, nobody can say that your luck is anything average. Things around you just seem to go...strangely. Twice per episode, you may make a Luck roll in place of a Skill roll.

Old Country: You lean into expectations a bit harder than most.

Inexplicable Resolution: Popular student spreading odd rumors about you?

School bully wants to pick a fight with you? Nah, dance-off! Whether it's people humoring your delusions or you taking advantage of your protagonist status, you seem to be able to solve problems in whatever way you wish to solve them. Twice per episode, you may take a -1 penalty to your current roll, in exchange for changing it to an unlimited roll of whatever class you desire.

Killer Instinct: Whether you're actually some kung-fu superhero or whatever, you're definitely more willing to resort to violence than others - eager, even. +3 on Opposed Conflict rolls.

Multiple Personalities: You don't just have one story you're in, you have many, and sometimes when one hero isn't up to the task, they have to tag in somebody more fitting. Thrice per episode, you may reassign your strong/weak rolls for the rest of the episode.

Not Just Talk: Your wild claims of competency aren't entirely figments of your imagination.

You cannot mimic a power that you already possess.

Rule Of Cool: Nobody knows if you actually learned karate from a kung fu master in a past life, or if you spent five years trapped in a Dragon Ball Z comic, but one thing's for sure: you're in good shape from lots of practice, and you look cool when you're moving. Passive Power:

Rule Of Drama: You're the star, the hero, the protagonist! You don't do this boring normal average stuff! When you set out to do something, you either shine like a star, or crash to earth in a burning husk! Any time you roll, you may choose to roll normally, or choose to invoke the Rule Of Drama; if you invoke the Rule Of Drama, 2s and 3s count as 1, while 4s and 5s count as 6.

Rule Of Funny: Sometimes you're the butt of the joke, and sometimes you're the one having the last laugh.

Twice per episode, you may (instead of rolling) take a natural 1 on your roll. In exchange, another player is also forced to take a natural 1 on their roll, as well as an additional -1 penalty.
