====== Basic Moves ======

===== Hack and Slash =====

When you attack an enemy in melee, roll+Str. 

On a 10+ you deal your damage to the enemy and avoid their attack. At your option, you may choose to do +1d6 damage but expose yourself to the enemy's attack. 

On a 7–9, you deal your damage to the enemy and the enemy makes an attack against you. 

===== Volley =====
 
When you take aim and shoot at an enemy at range, roll+Dex. 

On a 10+ you have a clear shot—deal your damage. 

On a 7–9, choose one (whichever you choose you deal your damage): 
  * You have to move to get the shot placing you in danger of the GM's choice
  * You have to take what you can get: -1d6 damage 
  * You have to take several shots, reducing your ammo by one. 

===== Defy Danger =====
 
When you act despite an imminent threat or suffer a calamity, say how you deal with it and roll. If you do it... 
  * ...by powering through, +Str 
  * ...by getting out of the way or acting fast, +Dex 
  * ...by enduring, +Con 
  * ...with quick thinking, +Int 
  * ...through mental fortitude, +Wis 
  * ...using charm and social grace, +Cha 

On a 10+, you do what you set out to, the threat doesn't come to bare. 

On a 7–9, you stumble, hesitate, or flinch: the GM will offer you a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. 

===== Defend =====
 
When you stand in defense of a person, item, or location under attack, roll+Con. 

On a 10+, Hold 3. 

On a 7–9, Hold 1. 

So long as you stand in defense, when you or the thing you defend is attacked you may spend hold, 1 for 1, to choose an option: 
  * Redirect an attack from the thing you defend to yourself 
  * Halve the attack's effect or damage 
  * Open up the attacker to an ally giving that ally +1 forward against the attacker 
  * Deal damage to the attacker equal to your level 

===== Spout Lore =====
 
When you consult your accumulated knowledge about something, roll+Int. 

On a 10+ the GM will tell you something interesting and useful about the subject relevant to your situation. 

On a 7–9 the GM will only tell you something interesting—it's on you to make it useful. The GM might ask you "How do you know this?" Tell them the truth, now. 

===== Discern Realities =====
 
When you closely study a situation or person, roll+Wis. 

On a 10+ ask the GM 3 questions from the list below. 

On a 7–9 ask 1. Take +1 forward when acting on the answers. 
  * What happened here recently? 
  * What is about to happen? 
  * What should I be on the lookout for? 
  * What here is useful or valuable to me? 
  * Who’s really in control here? 
  * What here is not what it appears to be? 

===== Parley =====
 
When you manipulate a GM character you have leverage on (something they need or want), roll+Cha. 

On a hit they ask you for something and do it if you make them a promise first. 

On a 7–9, they need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now. 

===== Aid or Interfere =====
 
When you help or hinder someone you have a Bond with, roll+Bond with them. 

On a 10+ they take +1 or -2, your choice. 

On a 7–9 you also expose yourself to danger, retribution, or cost.
