The Hedge Knight

You have the training and the beast of burden, but you are one bad winter away from sleeping in the mud.

Starting Wealth — 10 Silver

Kit: a drafted baggage horse or mule (fine for travel, useless in a fight), a shield, a traveler's pack, and a full set of Tier 1 padded armor.

Then choose one of each pair

The Sellsword

No standing and no mount, but practical gear and enough silver to keep it maintained through a few brutal skirmishes.

Starting Wealth — 25 Silver

Kit: a dungeoneer's pack and a full set of Tier 1 leather/padded armor.

Then choose one of each pair

The High-Born Squire

Draped in the finest steel, but your purse is practically empty — you sold your horse to pay for your armour's last repair.

Starting Wealth — 5 Silver

Kit: a noble's signet ring, fine clothes, a traveler's pack, and a fine Tier 1 arming doublet with padded hose.

Then choose one of each pair

The Deserter / Scoundrel

You fled the field or the city guard and took the payroll with you. Terrible armour — but liquid silver enough to bribe, buy, and outlast the winter.

Starting Wealth — 50 Silver

Kit: a burglar's pack, a stash of stolen silver (counted in your wealth), and a complete set of Tier 1 armor (gambeson, kettle hat, leather boots).

Then choose one of each pair

Path of the Knight

You were drilled to stand the line. Disgraced noble, hardened mercenary, or dutiful man-at-arms — it makes no difference. You learned that survival means carrying the crushing weight of steel and eating blows that would fold lesser men in half. You are the thing that does not break.

• 1 RP Passive — Armor Mastery: You move naturally inside a harness. While wearing armor, your AC becomes 12 + your Dexterity modifier.
• 1 RP Passive — Hardened Vitality: Your body soaks trauma that should kill. Your hit point maximum increases by +5.

• 2 RP Passive — Extra Attack: Drilled muscle moves on its own. Whenever you take the Attack action, you strike twice instead of once.
• 2 RP Passive — Stalwart: Your wind holds even under steel. Your maximum Stamina increases by +2.

• 3 RP Passive — Indomitable: You are simply too stubborn to die. When damage would drop you to 0 hit points, you may drop to 1 instead. Once per long rest.
• 3 RP Passive — Master of the Field: You have seen every dirty trick the field has. Gain a +2 bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws.

Path of the Outrider

"Armor slows you down. If they can't catch you, they can't bleed you." Skirmisher, assassin, scout — you lack the meat to win a stand-up brawl, so you don't fight one. You live by footwork, by dodging, by dictating where and when the steel meets. You strike the soft places and you are gone before the answer comes.

• 1 RP Passive — Skirmisher's Pace: Speed is your armor. While wearing Tier 1 armor or none, your AC becomes 11 + your Dexterity modifier, and you may take the Dash or Disengage action as a Bonus Action.
• 1 RP Passive — First to Draw: You move before the enemy knows it has begun. You roll Initiative with Advantage.

• 2 RP Passive — Opportunist's Strike: You know exactly where the gaps in a harness lie. Once per turn, if you hit with Advantage (or while an ally is within 5 feet of the target), deal an extra 1d6 damage.
• 2 RP Passive — Second Wind: Your lungs burn, but your legs keep moving. Your maximum Stamina increases by +2.

• 3 RP Passive — Evasion: You have an animal's sense for danger. When an effect allows a Dexterity save for half damage, you take none on a success and half on a failure.
• 3 RP Passive — Master of the Fringes: You live by sidestepping traps both physical and social. Gain a +2 bonus to Dexterity, Intelligence, and Charisma saving throws.

Path of the Scholar

You are not the sharpest blade in the company — you are the reason the sharp blades are still alive. While others trade wounds, you read the field, bend the tempo of the fight, and put the right tool in the right hand a heartbeat before it is needed. Wars turn on men like you, and the songs never mention your name.

• 1 RP Passive — Deep Reserves: Your discipline outlasts your muscle. Your maximum Stamina increases by +3.
• 1 RP Passive — Fast Hands: You can use items and potions as a Bonus Action.
• 1 RP Passive — Calculated Trajectory: Cold geometry, not brute force. Use Intelligence or Wisdom in place of Strength or Dexterity for the attack rolls of thrown weapons and slings, and for your Martial Save DC when an ability is delivered by such a weapon. You add no ability modifier to their damage.

• 2 RP Passive — Field Advice: A word at the right moment is worth a sword arm. You may take the Help action on an ally up to 30 feet away, and that ally recovers 1 Stamina.
• 2 RP Passive — Polymath: Your study runs deep. Double your Proficiency Bonus in two chosen skills.

• 3 RP Passive — Desperate Genius: You wrench a botched moment back into shape. Spend 1 Stamina to turn a d20 roll of 1–3 into a 15.
• 3 RP Passive — Master of the Mind: Your reason is a fortress. Gain a +2 bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws, and you are immune to being Frightened.

Path of the Blade

The sword is a weapon of prestige and lethal geometry. You wield the whole of it — edge, flat, crossguard, and pommel — and you take an opponent apart the way a butcher takes apart a carcass: with knowledge of exactly where the joints are.

• 1 RP Active — Pommel Strike (1 Stamina): As a Bonus Action after a hit, drive the pommel home. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Dazed until the end of its next turn.

• 2 RP Active — Half-Swording (1 Stamina): You choke up on the blade and drive the point into the gaps. Your attacks gain the Anti-Armor property until the start of your next turn.

• 3 RP Active — The Mordhau (2 Stamina): Action (Longsword or Greatsword). Grip the blade and swing the heavy crossguard like a mace. Deal Bludgeoning damage that ignores half the target's Total DR.
• 3 RP Passive — Blade Mastery: Double your Proficiency Bonus on attack rolls with swords.

Path of the Haft

Armor is thick, but the bone beneath it still breaks. Axe, hammer, and polearm are the great levellers of the field — built to crumple a breastplate and drag a haughty knight down into the mud where he can be finished.

• 1 RP Active — Hooking Strike (1 Stamina): Make a melee attack that deals no damage; instead the target makes a Strength saving throw against your Martial Save DC. On a failure they are dragged 5 ft toward you or knocked Prone, and your next attack against them has Advantage.

• 2 RP Active — The Can-Opener (2 Stamina): You put your whole weight behind one rivet. Your next attack ignores half the target's Total DR (rounded down).

• 3 RP Active — Earth-Shatter (2 Stamina): As an Action, slam your weapon into the ground. Every creature within 5 ft makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Martial Save DC, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage and being knocked Prone on a failure, or half damage and staying upright on a success.
• 3 RP Passive — Haft Mastery: You understand the physics of the swing. Double your Proficiency Bonus on attack rolls with hafted weapons.

Path of the Bulwark

A shield is not a thing to cower behind. It is a weapon, a wall, and a statement of defiance. You decide where the battle flows and you hold the line long after the men beside you have run.

• 1 RP Active — Shield Bash (1 Stamina): Bonus Action after the Attack action. The target makes a Strength saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is knocked Prone or shoved 5 feet.
• 1 RP Passive — Iron Sentinel: Your bulk is an obstacle. The ground within 5 feet of you is difficult terrain for enemies.

• 2 RP Active — Brace for Impact (1 Stamina): Reaction when hit. Set your weight and gain +4 Total DR against that one attack. If this reduces the damage to 0, you take no Dent.
• 2 RP Active — Mocking Clatter (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. Beat your weapon on your shield. The target makes a Wisdom saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Goaded.

• 3 RP Active — Phalanx Stand (2 Stamina): Action. You and allies within 5 ft gain Half-Cover until your next turn. You cannot be forcibly moved or knocked Prone, and you may use your Reaction to take a hit meant for an adjacent ally.
• 3 RP Passive — Bulwark Mastery: While wielding a shield, double your Proficiency Bonus and add it to your AC.

Path of the Duelist

You win with misdirection, with the exposed joint, with the counter that lands while the enemy is still committed to his own blow. This road favours the Finesse trait and rewards those who stay mobile and sharp-eyed.

• 1 RP Active — The Feint (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. Deception vs Insight. Win to gain Bodkin (or ignore 5 DR) on your next attack.
• 1 RP Active — Voiding the Line (1 Stamina): Reaction on an enemy's miss. Move 5 ft without provoking, and gain Advantage on your next attack against them.

• 2 RP Active — The Bind (1 Stamina): Action. A contested attack roll. Win to bind the enemy's weapon (speed 0, cannot attack) and gain Advantage with Light or Mercy weapons.
• 2 RP Active — The Draw Cut (1 Stamina): When you miss AC by 2 or less, spend 1 Stamina to deal 1d4 Slashing (ignores DR) as you drag the edge across an exposed joint.

• 3 RP Active — Master's Riposte (2 Stamina): Reaction when hit. Angle the blade to deflect, taking half damage, then make an immediate counter-attack.
• 3 RP Passive — Duelist Mastery: In Tier 1 armor or none, add your Charisma modifier to your AC.

Path of the Brawler

When swords skip off plate, the fight goes to the ground — and the ground belongs to you. You are a master of leverage, of the tackle, of the close, claustrophobic terror of dirty fighting where reputation counts for nothing.

• 1 RP Active — The Iron Tackle (1 Stamina): When you succeed on a Clinch check, you may immediately drive the target into a Pin as part of the same action.

• 2 RP Active — Gore (1 Stamina): In a Clinch or Pin, slam your helm into their face. Deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning; the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Dazed until the end of your next turn.

• 3 RP Active — Kidney Strike (2 Stamina): In a Pin, slip a dagger into a soft spot. The target takes 1d6 internal damage (ignores DR) at the start of its next three turns.
• 3 RP Active — The Reversal (2 Stamina): When an enemy fails a Clinch or Pin check against you, spend 2 Stamina to reverse the momentum entirely and instantly Pin them.
• 3 RP Passive — Brawler Mastery: Double your Proficiency Bonus on Athletics checks made to grapple.

Path of the Alchemist

Chemical warfare and cruel little tricks. Plague doctor, hedge witch, mad sapper — you bypass steel entirely with volatile powders, choking smoke, and things that eat through straps and skin alike.

• 1 RP Active — Flash Powder (1 Stamina): Action. Hurl lye and ground glass, 10 ft range. The target makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Blinded until the end of its next turn.
• 1 RP Active — Numbing Draught (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. The target ignores the next 3 points of damage it takes.

• 2 RP Active — Corrosive Vial (1 Stamina): Ranged attack. 1d4 Acid (ignores DR); the armor takes 2 Dents as the straps hiss and melt.
• 2 RP Passive — Toxicologist: You coat your blades in filth. Once per turn, Bodkin hits deal +1d4 Poison (ignores DR).

• 3 RP Active — Dragon's Breath (2 Stamina): Action. Ignite volatile powder in a 15 ft cone. Each creature makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Martial Save DC, taking 2d6 fire damage (ignores DR) on a failure or half on a success.
• 3 RP Passive — Occult Scholar: Double your Proficiency Bonus on checks involving alchemy, history, poison-craft, and the identifying of herbs.

Path of the Occultist

"Fear is more effective than any blade." You break the mind before the body — cursed whispers, nerve-strikes that find the body's hidden wiring, and a calm in slaughter that unmans braver men.

• 1 RP Active — The Hex (1 Stamina): Insight vs Intimidation. Whisper a cursed trigger; the target is Frightened until your next turn.
• 1 RP Active — Adrenaline Surge (0 Stamina): Bonus Action. Override your body's safety locks. Take 2 internal damage (ignores DR) to instantly recover 1 Stamina.

• 2 RP Active — Nerve Strike (1 Stamina): Hit with a Light or Precise weapon; the target deals half damage on its next melee attack.
• 2 RP Passive — Cold-Blooded: You have seen worse than this. Advantage on saves against being Frightened or Dazed.

• 3 RP Active — The Death Knell (2 Stamina): Reaction on a kill. Perform a brutal execution; each enemy within 15 ft makes a Wisdom saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Frightened until the end of its next turn.
• 3 RP Passive — Anatomical Mastery: You see only weak points in meat and bone. With a Precise or Bodkin weapon, your Critical Hit range widens by 1 (a 19–20 crit becomes 18–20).

Path of the Marksman

You are the reason knights carry heavy shields. You own the distance, you choose the range of the engagement, and you peel a man's armor open before he is ever close enough to make you nervous.

• 1 RP Active — Aimed Shot: Bonus Action if you have not moved. +2 to your next ranged attack roll.
• 1 RP Active — Rapid Crank (1 Stamina): Bonus Action to reload a Heavy Crossbow.

• 2 RP Active — Pinning Shot (1 Stamina): Aim for the thigh. On a hit, the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your Martial Save DC or its speed becomes 0 until the end of its next turn.
• 2 RP Passive — Point-Blank: You keep your nerve up close. Being within 5 ft of an enemy does not impose Disadvantage on your ranged attacks.

• 3 RP Active — Through the Visor (2 Stamina): On a hit, ignore half DR (Bow) or deal 2 Dents (Crossbow). The target is Dazed.
• 3 RP Passive — Marksman Mastery: Double your Proficiency Bonus on ranged attack rolls.

Path of the Thrower

A whirl of steel from a fairground tumbler's hands — and then the laughter stops. You turn knives, axes, and weighted darts into a storm of edges, putting three blades in a man before he closes the gap. The crowd calls it a trick. The dying call it something else.

• 1 RP Active — Quick Draw (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. Draw and hurl a second Thrown weapon, making one extra thrown attack this turn.
• 1 RP Passive — Deep Pockets: You carry a bandolier of ready steel. At the start of each encounter you have a number of throwing weapons equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and drawing one to throw costs no action. Once spent, you must gather or buy more between fights.

• 2 RP Active — Fan of Blades (2 Stamina): Action. Loose a spray at up to three targets within 15 ft of each other; make a separate thrown attack against each at −2.
• 2 RP Passive — Ricochet: Your eye for angles ignores Half-Cover and Three-Quarters Cover with thrown weapons.

• 3 RP Active — Pin the Card (2 Stamina): A called shot to hand or eye. On a hit, the target makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Martial Save DC or is Blinded until the end of its next turn and drops one held item.
• 3 RP Passive — Thrower Mastery: Double your Proficiency Bonus on attack rolls with Thrown weapons, and their short range increases by 10 ft.

Path of the Spur

You are a creature of kinetic impact. You read a charging destrier and a couched lance the way other men read a page. This road rules both the tournament lists and the open-field cavalry charge, where the lesson is the same: hit first, hit hardest, stay in the saddle.

• 1 RP Active — Collected Seat (1 Stamina): Reaction when hit while mounted. Lock your thighs and brace. Gain Advantage on your Brace check to keep your seat.
• 1 RP Active — The Tell (1 Stamina): Watch the enemy's shoulders. Roll Wisdom (Insight) to read an opponent's maneuver with Advantage before the clash.

• 2 RP Active — Shattering Couch (1 Stamina): When you land a charging mounted hit, you angle the lance perfectly. The attack gains the Anti-Armor property.
• 2 RP Passive — Born to the Saddle: The horse is an extension of your body. Double your Proficiency Bonus on Strength and Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks.

• 3 RP Active — Master of the Tilt (2 Stamina): When you choose a maneuver with a −5 penalty, your skill reduces that penalty to −3.
• 3 RP Passive — Unflinching: You do not blink when the wood splinters. When using Eyes Fixed (or taking head trauma), roll the injury twice and take the kinder result. Mounted attacks score a critical hit on a 19–20.

Path of the Devout

In a world without healing magic, faith and fast hands are what keep soldiers on their feet. You are the shepherd of the wounded, dragging order out of the screaming chaos of the line through sheer conviction.

• 1 RP Active — Battlefield Triage (1 Stamina): As an Action, bind a wound or pop a joint back. A touched ally recovers HP equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
• 1 RP Active — Zealous Rally (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. Shout a prayer or a war-cry. Transfer 1 Stamina from yourself to an ally within 30 feet.

• 2 RP Active — Absolution (1 Stamina): Bonus Action. Snap an ally out of shock. End one condition (Dazed, Frightened, or Goaded) on a touched creature.
• 2 RP Passive — Iron Faith: Your belief hardens your mind. Advantage on saves against fear and intimidation.

• 3 RP Active — The Miracle (2 Stamina): Reaction when an ally drops to 0 HP. You scream a desperate prayer; they drop to 1 HP instead and may immediately crawl 5 feet.
• 3 RP Passive — Medicus Mastery: Double your Proficiency Bonus on Medicine checks. When you use Battlefield Triage, also restore 1 Stamina to the target.

Path of the Smith

"For arms or armor to be truly great, a smith must beat part of his soul and blood into them." Steel is the currency of survival, and you are the one who keeps the warrior inside the steel alive to see another grey dawn.

• 1 RP Active — Field Craft: Craft and perform minor repairs on Tier 1 arms and armor at half their market cost in materials.
• 1 RP Passive — Basic Maintenance: You oil and tend your gear like a second body. Your Total DR is increased by 1.

• 2 RP Active — Precision Craft: Craft and repair Tier 2 arms and armor at half market cost.
• 2 RP Passive — Rivet Master: Add your Proficiency Bonus to your post-battle Wear and Tear rolls.

• 3 RP Active — Master Craft: Craft and fully repair Tier 3 arms and armor at half cost.
• 3 RP Passive — Forge Lord: When crafting gear, add one non-magical weapon property, increase armor DR by 1, or decrease a Strength requirement by 2. On a natural 20 crafting roll, the item is Legendary (its damage dice or DR is doubled).

Path of the Chirurgeon

"All those years staring into holes in the wrong places finally paid off." You are a grim but indispensable battlefield surgeon — bonesaw, hot iron, and a steady hand while the patient screams.

• 1 RP Active — Field Dressings: Stabilize a creature at 0 HP as a Bonus Action (DC 10 Medicine check).
• 1 RP Passive — Triage Care: When you tend a patient during a short rest, they recover an extra 1d6 HP.

• 2 RP Active — Expert Suturing: Gain proficiency in Medicine. Your stabilize DC becomes 8.
• 2 RP Passive — Rapid Recovery: When you tend a patient during a long rest, they recover an extra 2d6 HP.

• 3 RP Active — A Draught of Sleep (2 Stamina): Bonus Action. Consume poppy milk and gain resistance to all damage. At the end of each of your turns, make a Constitution saving throw — DC 10 the first turn, rising by 2 each turn after — and fall unconscious the moment you fail.
• 3 RP Passive — Master Maester: Long-rest tending recovers an extra 3d6 HP, and you can craft working prosthetics for maimed limbs.

Path of the Animal Tender

Beasts do not lie, betray, or hoard silver. You have forged a bond with the creatures of the wild and the burdened beasts of the road — and in a world this treacherous, that is no small thing.

• 1 RP Active: Recruit an animal companion if you best it in combat without taking damage.
• 1 RP Passive: Add +1 to any roll involving the care, riding, or commanding of animals.

• 2 RP Active: Recruit larger animals if you best them in combat while holding above 50% HP.
• 2 RP Passive: Make a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check to save your companion from death or maiming.

• 3 RP Active: Your animals grant you Advantage on checks made while working in tandem.
• 3 RP Passive: Increase your companion animal's base stats by half.

Path of the Merrymaker

"You're my friend now. We're having ales later." You navigate the deadly web of medieval society by ensuring everyone is having far too good a time to remember they meant to slit your throat.

• 1 RP Active — Soft Diplomacy: Before negotiations begin, spend time warming the room and make a Charisma check. On a success you Open the encounter, raising the target's starting Disposition (see Webs of Words) by +1. The drinks and easy talk put them in a better humour before a word of business is spoken.
• 1 RP Passive — Charismatic Presence: Advantage on your first Charisma check against any creature.

• 2 RP Active — Guild Connections: Your reach extends to middling folk of standing — merchants, guildmasters, sergeants. Against them, your Soft Diplomacy Open bonus rises to +2 on a success.
• 2 RP Passive — Debt of Renown: Call upon an NPC to fulfil a reasonable favour with no check.

• 3 RP Active — Legendary Revelry (2 Stamina): Throw a vast event that draws high-standing NPCs. Advantage on Charisma checks for 1d4 hours.
• 3 RP Passive — Lordly Connections: Your name now opens doors among the great. Your Soft Diplomacy Open bonus rises to +3 on a success — enough that even a Hostile audience begins at worst Indifferent, never against you.

Path of the Bookie

In a world of mud and blood, coin is the only true king. You see life through odds, over-unders, and calculated risk — every duel a wager, every battle a market. You have never once let sentiment cost you a purse, and you always know the price of a man.

• 1 RP Active — Run a Book: Take wagers of up to 50 SP on any contested event — a tourney bout, a duel, a battle. Win and collect at the odds you set; the house edge keeps you fed between contracts.
• 1 RP Passive — The Sure Thing: Once per event you have wagered on, grant one chosen participant a +1d4 to a single roll — a quiet word, a greased palm, a tip-off. The fix is in.

• 2 RP Active — High Stakes: Your credit and reputation let you take or place wagers of up to 1,000 SP, and you can read a crowd or market to learn the true odds on any contest before betting.
• 2 RP Passive — Tilt the Odds: Once during an event you have wagered on, impose Advantage or Disadvantage on a single roll — a loosened girth strap, a bribed judge, a rumour at the right moment.

• 3 RP Active — The Whole Pot: Wager any sum your coffers and name can back. You also know what any person can be bought for: spend a check to learn a target's true price, and bribes you broker count as strong leverage in a Disposition scene.
• 3 RP Passive — Never Caught Holding: You can quietly pull out of a wager before it is decided, eating only a small forfeit. The truly ruined are always the ones who could not walk away.

Path of the Little Bird

Secrets cut sharper than bodkin arrows. You deal in the only currency that never loses value — whispers, blackmail, and the quiet leverage that turns lords into puppets. You are never the loudest in the room, and you are never the one they suspect.

• 1 RP Active — Read the Mark: Spend an hour observing a person and make an Insight check (DC set by how guarded they are). On a success, learn one usable lever — a vice, a debt, a fear, a loyalty. Held until used, it grants Advantage on social checks against that person, or Opens a Disposition scene against them by a step.
• 1 RP Passive — New Streets, Old Tricks: Advantage on checks to gather rumour and lay of the land when you first arrive somewhere new.

• 2 RP Active — The Damning Secret: Through a downtime investigation — days of work, a successful Investigation or Insight check, and real risk if you are caught — you unearth one faction-altering secret: proof of a betrayal, an illegitimate heir, a fixed account. Produced against the right target, it Opens a Disposition scene at Allied, forces a faction to a single major concession, or cracks an alliance. Each secret is spent when used and cannot be wrung twice; the GM may rule a given truth simply does not exist to be found.
• 2 RP Passive — Eyes on the Walls: Advantage on Insight and Perception checks concerning places, crowds, guard patterns, and public events. You read a room's exits and its liars at a glance.

• 3 RP Active — Pull the Strings: Once per arc, call in your web of debts and whispers to make one powerful NPC act — open a gate, withdraw a charge, vote your way, look the other way for a night. They do it believing it their own choice. A target who later uncovers your hand becomes a dangerous enemy, and the GM may demand a price: a favour owed, a secret traded, a debt called due.

Path of the Saboteur

A fair fight is a strategy for fools and corpses. You wage asymmetrical war, ensuring the enemy is already broken — supplies fouled, nerves frayed, plans unravelled — before the first sword ever clears its sheath. The dagger you fear is the one you never see drawn.

• 1 RP Active — Foul the Works: With time before a fight, ruin one foe's readiness — a cut girth, a notched blade, a drugged cup, a jammed buckle. They begin combat Surprised (they act normally only from their second turn) or take Disadvantage on their first attack roll, your call.
• 1 RP Passive — Know the Ground: When you have scouted or prepared a location, you and your allies gain Advantage on the first attack roll of a fight that breaks out there. You chose the killing ground.

• 2 RP Active — Poison the Well: Extend your sabotage to a whole squad — spoiled rations, a sickness in the camp, a panic in the night. An enemy group of up to a dozen begins the fight Surprised, or makes its first Morale check with Disadvantage.
• 2 RP Passive — The Quiet Knife: You may make a single silent, lethal removal of a lone, unaware sentry or target as a downtime or scene action without raising the alarm, given the means and the opening. One less problem, no witnesses.

• 3 RP Active — Break the Host: Against an army or faction force, a successful campaign of sabotage — fired granaries, fouled wells, a turned officer — lowers the enemy's Warband Rating by 1 and its Morale pool by 1d4 before a battle is ever joined (see the Warband rules). Wars are lost in the supply train, not the field.
• 3 RP Passive — The Unseen Hand: Your sabotage is never obviously your doing. Unless caught in the act, suspicion falls elsewhere — on rivals, on ill luck, on God's displeasure. You can ruin a man and stand at his funeral.
