Stunts
- The Weight of Reputation (Contacts)
- You can use Contacts instead of Provoke to create advantages based on the fear generated by the sinister reputation you’ve cultivated for yourself. You should have an appropriate aspect to pair with this stunt. ("I ain't backing down!")
- Fate Core sample (contacts)
- Security Specialist (Burglary)
- You don’t have to be present to provide active opposition to someone trying to overcome security measures you put in place or worked on. (Normally, a character would roll against passive opposition for that.)
- Fate Core sample (burglary)
- Lies and Damned Lies (Deceive)
- You can use Deceive instead of Provoke.
