Hard March
When your character would be given Fatigue damage due to long, continued, or strenuous activity (such as marching, running, working, etc.), reduce that damage by 1 (to a minimum of 0).
Oath Keeper
You may make an “oath” with a single non-player character. When you make an oath you clearly spell out what your character promises to do or not do. The non-player character with whom you make this oath takes you at your word and believes you without fail.
This oath is active until you either fulfill the terms of the oath or break it. If you fulfill the terms of the oath, no additional effect takes place. If you break the terms of the oath, you risk harming your reputation and immediately lose 1 Action Point (if you cannot lose 1 Action Point, lose 2 Experience Points instead; if you can do neither, you cannot play during the next game session).
You may have only one oath active at a time.
Pack Rat
Once per game session, you may “remember” that your character has with him or her some small object (fist sized or smaller) worth 10 silver pennies or less on his or her person that solves or assists with some present problem your character faces. With the gamemaster’s approval, your character has the object safely stowed in a bag, pocket, belt, etc. (Add the object to your character sheet.)
Short Hand
Your character has his or her own shorthand form of writing. Writing in this short hand takes twice as long as writing normally and twice as long to read.
Only your character can read his or her own shorthand and no other being can ever learn to write in or read it.
Sure-Footed
When your character would receive penalties for being unbalanced (standing/walking in a moving wagon, onboard a ship during a storm, moving across a slipper surface) reduce any penalties you receive by 2D (to a minimum of 0D).
Unremarkable
Once per game session, your character can “blend into the background” of a social scene. During the scene your character is completely unnoticed by non-members of the adventuring party and is not remembered as having been present during the scene by them.
This cover is broken if you act in an obtrusive, offensive, or violent manner.
