Traits

  1. Been There, Done That: Once per scene, Chief Holden can make an INT-based roll with an epic die, reflecting his wealth of experience.
  2. Command Presence: Once per scene, spend 2 AP to grant another character +2 to their next roll as he barks out advice or orders.
  3. Cigar Grit: If Holden takes damage, he can spend 1 AP to reduce it by 3 as he shrugs it off with a pithy one-liner.

Cinematic Actions

  1. Call for Backup: Once per day, spend 2 AP to summon two officers. Each has 1 HP and stats equal to his montages. They provide +2 to attack rolls and last until the end of the scene.
  2. Old-School Wisdom: Once per scene, Holden can provide a script change (e.g., “There’s a cop car conveniently around the corner”) for 2 AP.
  3. Badge of Authority: Once per day, he can intimidate an enemy into losing their next turn. Roll CHA vs. their INT.

Quirks

  • Reluctantly close to retirement but refuses to hand over his badge.
  • Loves diner coffee but always complains about it.
  • Known for his gruff mentorship style, pushing his officers hard but backing them up even harder.

Equipment

  • Police-Issue Revolver (+2 ACC, 1d8 damage)
  • Badge of Authority (adds +1 to CHA rolls when intimidating).
  • Cigar Box (spending time smoking restores 3 HP once per scene).
