Moves
Start with Costume Change, and choose one more:
Costume Change
Choose one of the following categories: people, animals, off-brand musical theatre characters, stage props. You can transform into things of that category while in the inner world.
When you transform, roll +Charm. On a hit, hold 2. Spend a hold to get +1 on a roll to do something typical to your new form.
On a 7-9, at some point during or after your transformation, the GM will tell you something that the form's instincts drive you to want to do. Either do it, or take 1 harm.
Put on a Show
When you put on a flashy performance, roll +Charm. On a 7-9, choose one. On a 10+, choose one or both:
- All eyes in the room turn to you. You have everyone's attention until you stop talking or performing.
- Call on one NPC in the room to join your act. If they do, ask one question from the Gain an Impression move. If they don't, gain a string on them or inflict 1 harm.
