Pistol Whip / Butt Stroke ?

3

If the attack hits an opponent adjacent to you, or next time you miss with a firearm against an opponent adjacent to you and run out of ammo, make a second attack against the same target with Accuracy (Pistols) to club them with the gun, inflicting 1d6 + Strength damage. 

Called Shot

4

You target an exposed part of your opponent’s body. The attack’s damage becomes penetrating.

You and your target make opposed Fighting (Grappling) rolls; if you win, they can’t do anything other than a free action on their next turn. You and the target both take a −4 Defense penalty until the beginning of your next turn.

Restrain

5

If you have appropriate equipment in hand, like handcuffs or rope, you and your target make opposed Fighting (Grappling) rolls; if you win, they become restrained (see Conditions in Chapter 1) and can’t do anything other than try to escape with a Strength (Might) or Dexterity (Sabotage) test as a major action, TN = 10 + (your Fighting (Grappling) score). Note: You may only choose stunts from this list when you earn the SP while making a Fighting (Grappling) attack.

Chase Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

Punch It!

1+

You gain a +1 bonus on your next chase test for each 1 SP you spend.

Evasive Maneuver

2

Until your next turn, attacks against you and your vehicle (if any) suffer a -2 penalty.

Follow the Leader

2

Make a test with a TN you choose and an ability focus you work out with the GM for pulling off a tricky maneuver, such as Dexterity (Acrobatics) to slip through a small opening on the run, or Dexterity (Piloting) to do the same while flying. If you fail, you crash. Anyone following you using the same method of transport must make the same test or crash.

Attack on the Move

Short Cut

5

Add an additional +2 to your chase total.

Vehicle Combat Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

System Damage

1-3

 Your attack damages the vehicle’s Handling, Sensors, or Weapons. Impose a –1 penalty per SP spent to the damaged ability (up to 3). Handling imposes a modifier on tests to operate the vehicle. This penalty remains until the vehicle is repaired. Damage control with a TN 13 Intelligence (Engineering) test can negate (but not remove) the penalty for rounds equal to the Drama Die result. If the ability is reduced below –2, the vehicle automatically fails tests calling for it. If Handling is reduced below –2, the vehicle is out of control and helpless.

Penetrate Hull

1+

 Your attack overcomes the vehicle’s resistance to damage. If a vehicle has a Hull rating, you must spend SP equal to it on this stunt before spending SP on other stunts.

Off-Course

2

 The vehicle is thrown off-course and the operator must make a TN 15 test to maintain control. A new test can be made each round to regain control if it is lost.

Scuttle

2

 Your attack destroys the target vehicle. This stunt is only available against a helpless vehicle.

Shrapnel

2+

 The attack causes a damaging explosion in the vehicle’s interior. The operator and all passengers in the same compartment suffer 1d6 damage for 2 SP or 2d6 damage for 4 SP.

Hull Breach

3+

 You inflict significant damage to the vehicle, reducing its Hull rating by 1 per 3 SP spent. The loss of Hull rating lasts until repaired.

Slowdown

3

 You damage the vehicle’s propulsion, dropping its Speed class by one category. If it drops to Slow or less, the operator must make a TN 15 test to maintain control. The slowdown remains until repaired. Damage control with a TN 13 Intelligence (Engineering) test can negate (but not remove) the penalty for rounds equal to the Drama Die result.

Disable Drive

4

 Your attack disables the vehicle’s propulsion. The operator must make a TN 15 test to maintain control and, even if they succeed, must deal with a vehicle that can no longer move or maneuver under its own power. The vehicle is helpless. Damage control with a TN 13 Intelligence (Engineering) test can restore the vehicle’s propulsion for rounds equal to the Drama Die result.

Skewer

4+

 Your attack is in just the right place to do serious damage inside the vehicle: One character suffers 4d6 damage for 4 SP, or for 6 SP, 6d6 damage or the full damage of your weapon +2d6, whichever is less.

Rupture

5

 Your attack ruptures a fuel line or power conduit, causing an internal explosion. This deals 3d6 penetrating damage to everyone in a compartment of the vehicle and also causes the effects of either a System Damage (3 SP) or Slowdown stunt.

Disable Engine

6

Your attack disables the vehicle’s engine or main power, such as a ship’s reactor, causing the effect of a Disable Drive stunt and leaving the vehicle completely without power other than emergency back-ups and essentially helpless. Damage control with a TN 13 Intelligence (Engineering) test can restore power for rounds equal to the Drama Die result. Otherwise the power remains offline until repaired. Note: Stunts from this table are used when attacking or sabotaging a vehicle.

General Exploration Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

When a Plan Comes Together

1-3

If desired, you can split the bonus among multiple allies, giving each a minimum +1. You must make this decision before any ally rolls.

A Stitch in Time

1+

 You put in the effort to do it right the first time, setting yourself up for greater success later. Gain +1 per SP spent on your next test related to this one during this encounter, as long as this roll was part of an advanced test.

Pay Dirt

1+

 In the course of your endeavor, you win a bet, happen across a conveniently abandoned stash, or discover something valuable you can pawn to make a buck, among other possibilities. Temporarily gain +1 Income per SP spent; this increase lasts until you next fail an Income test. Instances of this stunt don’t stack; only the highest bonus applies.

Jury Rig

2

 You find or improvise a piece of equipment you need to be more effective. Negate any situational penalties you would suffer for lacking proper equipment on tests appropriate to the improvisation, for the rest of the encounter.

2

The Upper Hand

3

 If your success leads to combat within the encounter, you receive a +3 on your initiative roll.

 Make a Perception test using an appropriate focus (GM’s choice) with the same TN as the test you just made to learn the most likely immediate consequence of the action you just performed. 

Calming the Waters

1+

Bravery

1

 Your success bolsters your courage, granting you 1d6 extra Toughness against the next damaging hazard you face in this encounter.

Over Here!

2

 Your flashy action makes you the center of attention. Each of your allies gains +1 to their next test to hide or pass scrutiny in this encounter, such as Dexterity (Legerdemain or Stealth) or Communication (Disguise). Any action an opponent takes until then automatically targets you.

Take One for the Team

2

 When you successfully avoid damage from a hazard but an ally doesn’t, you may take the damage for that ally while they remain unaffected. 

Cover Your Tracks

3

 Whether you’re hacking into a network, evading the cops, or infiltrating a military base, you impose a −2 on all future rolls to follow your trail related to this test.

High Tech Hustle

3

 With an injection of technobabble or a quick mod to a device, you sidestep one minor complication impeding your current goal, or give yourself the ability to perform one task you otherwise couldn’t in the current situation, at the GM’s discretion.

It Wasn't Me

4

 You leave evidence another character is responsible for the results of your test, such as breaking and entering, cheating at cards, or uploading a computer virus. All failed tests to investigate the truth reveal that person as the culprit, and such tests suffer a −2 penalty.

Fancy Meeting You Here

5

Choose a focus or talent your character doesn’t possess. An NPC of the GM’s choice with that focus or talent appears in the scene within a few minutes, or a few rounds if your action leads directly to action time. This doesn’t dictate anything about their situation, attitude, or identity; these are all up to the GM.

Investigation Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

A-Ha!

1-3

 The GM reveals an additional useful fact about the object of your test per SP spent (Simple); gain +1 per SP spent to your next test following up on the lead you just unlocked (Detailed). 

Flashback

1

 This test reminds you of something important you forgot. The GM reveals the identity or existence of another source of information you didn’t know about (Simple); treat one of your tangential focuses as a primary one on the next test you make to unlock a lead related to this test (Detailed).

Intuition

2

 The GM reveals a fact about the object of your test you could not have noticed or deduced simply by interacting with it (Simple); when you uncover a clue, you gain two new leads instead of one, making the path branch (Detailed).

Lucky Break (Detailed)

3

 This test’s result leads fortuitously to putting two and two together later. Treat one irrelevant focus as a tangential one on the next test you make to unlock a lead related to this test.

Down the Rabbit Hole (Detailed)

4

 If this test led to a reveal, the GM also provides a brand new lead about a new subject that will lead to greater rewards.

Breakthrough

5

You gain not only information but some form of incontrovertible proof (Simple); reduce the total number of leads on the path by one, jumping to a further point in the investigation immediately (Detailed).

Attitude Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

Making an Offer

1-3

Your test implies a promise or olive branch, temporarily shifting the target’s Attitude toward you up by one per SP spent (even if this test already shifted it); it shifts back by the same amount as soon as you fail a social test against them. Inapplicable when performing a grand gesture.

Read the Room

1

The GM reveals the current Attitude, or an intention or mood indicator, for one character present of your choice, in reaction to your test. You can choose this stunt multiple times per roll. Characters with either the Communication (Deception) or Willpower (Self-Discipline) focus may roll vs. your Perception (Empathy) to avoid this.

On the Fence

2

Choose a character you didn’t target who’s Standoffish, Neutral, or Open toward you. They’re convinced to take your side in the conflict, as long as they don’t already oppose you (Simple); shift their Attitude toward you up by one for the rest of the encounter (Detailed).

Bad Form

3

Immediately regain the SP you spent on this stunt, plus 1 more. Then choose any character present; they now consider you a rival, threat, or enemy, shifting their Attitude to Hostile if it was Standoffish or Neutral, or shifting it to its negative variation if it was more positive. Inapplicable if all NPCs present are already Hostile toward you.

Cast Out

3

Your action shames or embarrasses another character present, imposing a −2 penalty on their next social roll against anyone but you in this encounter (Simple) or worsening the Attitude of one other character present toward them by one shift (Detailed).

Risky Business

4

Your action reveals a secret or contains a significant lie, shifting your target’s Attitude toward another character in the scene from Neutral or worse to Very Hostile; it also worsens your target’s Attitude toward you by one shift, as they’re inclined to shoot the messenger. If you lied and the target later finds out, their Attitude toward you shifts to Very Hostile as well.

Meddle

5

Your action brings others together or drives a wedge between them. Choose two other characters present and shift their Attitudes toward each other up or down by one (both in the same direction). 

Membership & Reputation Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

Bon Mot

1

You tag the perfect witty remark onto the end of your action. If you can’t think of one, let the group brainstorm and pick one among their ideas. Gain a temporary honorific you can use for passive Reputation only, for the rest of the session.

Stick Your Neck Out

1

Your test puts your own Reputation in jeopardy to help someone else. An ally of your choice gains a +2 bonus to their next social test in this encounter; if they fail, you lose all Reputation bonuses from one honorific for the rest of the session.

In Good Standing

2

When targeting a member of an organization in which you have Membership, treat your rank as one higher for the purpose of gaining access to resources for the rest of this encounter.

Benefit of the Doubt

3

Your action impresses or charms any one character present. Roll Communication (Persuasion) vs. Willpower (Self-Discipline) to affect someone with an Attitude of Hostile or worse; no roll is necessary for others. Increase all relevant Membership and Reputation bonuses by +1 while interacting with that character for the rest of the session; this may improve their Attitude toward you, at the GM’s discretion.

Go Viral

3

Whether via you or others sharing a video or audio recording, news gets out quickly about what you’ve just done. For the rest of the session, the honorific most related to this test applies even in situations where it seems unrelated.

Oozing Confidence

4

Your action impresses or fools all the right people. Gain one temporary Reputation honorific or rank of Membership for the rest of the session, or until you next fail a test relevant to this influence, whichever comes first.

Name-Dropping

5

Your action displays your affiliation with someone whose Membership rank is higher than yours in an organization to which you belong, or who has a relevant honorific you don’t. You may use their Reputation or Membership benefits with that honorific or organization as your own for the rest of the session; if they find out and disapprove, worsen their Attitude toward you by one shift.

General Social Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

Impress

1-3

Gain a +1 per SP spent to your next social test against the same target as this test, during this encounter.

Cards on the Table

1

If you were completely honest when making this test, your target must be completely honest in the next social test they make against you during this encounter. This doesn’t stop either character from omitting information or offering misleading truths.

Making an Entrance

1

If this is your first action of the encounter, gain +1 to your next opposed roll against one character who witnessed it. You can choose this stunt multiple times per roll.

And Another Thing

2

Make a second, related test as part of your action, before anyone else has a chance to respond or make any tests of their own.

Hidden Message

2

Your words convey a different message to one person than to everyone else who hears them; the character you choose is the only one who can decipher your true meaning.

Sway the Crowd

2

Your words affect one additional person of your choice. You may choose this stunt multiple times per roll, but if someone opposed your test, you can’t expand the effect to anyone with a higher ability + focus total than the original target.

Good Cop / Bad Cop

3

Choose an ally to immediately make a test in seeming opposition to the one you just made, with the same target. If they succeed, rather than garnering the usual results, they prompt the target to give up a secret you didn’t already know.

Let's Make a Deal

3

Your action turns out to benefit a character you didn’t target, who now owes you a favor, however grudgingly.

Objection!

3

You step in on someone else’s behalf. Another character in the scene may use your ability + focus score instead of their own next time they oppose a test during this encounter.

Class Clown

4

Your words lighten the mood, imposing a –2 penalty to all enemies’ initiative rolls if a fight breaks out during this encounter.

Flirt

4

Roll Communication (Seduction) vs. your target’s Willpower (Self-Discipline) as a simple social roll against a character whose Attitude toward you is Open or better, with a positive bent; if you win, they become enamored with your character, opening the door to future romance or intimacy. How this proceeds is up to you and the GM to work out together.

From the Heart

4

You believe wholeheartedly in what you say. Choose one Willpower focus. If you don’t have it already, gain it for the rest of the encounter. If you do, it adds +3 instead of +2 to rolls you make with it.

Sleep with One Eye Open

4

Applies to a test targeting someone you have a negative Relationship with, or who has harmed someone you have a Relationship with. The next attack you make against that target in this session is automatically a surprise attack, as long as they weren’t already in combat.

Enrage

5

Choose one character present whose Attitude toward you is Neutral or worse, or a negative variant of a more positive Attitude. They must immediately either attack you or storm out of the scene. If they attack, it needn’t be deadly, though it can be.

Patter

Your rapid-fire words confuse your target, who must succeed at a Perception (Empathy) roll vs. your Communication (Deception), or automatically fail their next non-attack test against you.

My Word is My Bond

7

Applies to a test relevant to completing a task you’ve promised someone you have a Relationship with you’ll perform. Gain +2 to tests directly related to completing this task until the end of the session. This stunt requires bonus SP available from a Relationship in order to meet the necessary cost.

Command Stunts

Stunt

SP Cost

Effect

Guidance

1+

You grant a +1 bonus to a chosen ship combat test this round for each 1 SP you spend. Choose one of the following: maneuver test, electronic warfare test, evasion test, point defense test, or damage control test.

Blinding Maneuver

1+

You maneuver your ship in such a way as to blind or limit an opponent’s Sensors. Each SP you spend reduces an opposing ship’s Sensors score by 1 (to a minimum score of –2) until the start of the next round.

Multi-Targeting

2

Your ship’s point defense cannons (if any) can both attack and defend this round without any penalty (see Point Defense under Defensive Actions).

On-Target

2+

Every 2 SP you spend increases the TN of tests to evade your ship’s weapon attacks that round by +1.

Tactics

2+

Every 2 SP you spend increases the TN of an opposing ship commander’s next command test by +1.

Evasive Action

3+

Every 3 SP you spend grants a +1d6 Hull bonus to your ship that round for resisting damage from successful weapon attacks.

Perceived Weakness

3

You increase the damage of one successful weapon attack by 1d6. This stunt is a risk, as it has to come in Step 5 of the round, and requires a successful hit.

Precise Hit

4

One of your successful weapon attacks results in an additional Loss, even if the target’s Hull completely eliminated the damage.

Set-Up

4+

You maneuver an opposing ship into a hazard, such as a normally shorter range weapon, a field of debris, or even a floating rock. This stunt is considered a weapon attack (see Weapon Attacks) inflicting damage dice equal to half the SP spent (round down). The Set-Up can be evaded (see Evasion under Defensive Actions); the TN is 10 + your Intelligence + Leadership focus (if any) + half the SP spent. So if a character with Intelligence 2 and Leadership spends 5 SP on this stunt, the TN to evade the Set-Up is (10 + 2 + 2 + 2.5, rounded down to 2) or 16, and a failure on the evasion test results in 2d6 damage to the target ship.
