Explode attacks do exactly that. They cause the target to partially or completely explode.

Incarna

Riddle (Codes, Puzzles).

Monster

The Monster is a shadowy figure pulling strings behind the scenes. This may just be an ordinary villain, but their ability to pass unnoticed should be bordering upon the unnatural. Perhaps they use psychic powers or magic to pass unnoticed, perhaps they are a hacking whiz, able to bounce phone calls through international relays with some multinational or another picking up the tab without realizing, perhaps they are one of the Huldra, the hidden people - who may be the Fæ or maybe they are actually the imaginary friend of one of the characters now made real(ish) by an alien or a Dæmon.

• TRICK: Secretive, may play Preparation cards face down.

If you want an Annex that represents forbidden magic or technnology, perhaps you're after that clone army you've always wanted, then you might need a Heresy Root.

Annex Channel

Lies, Deception and Fiction Annexes

Every writer, actor or conman will want at least one Annex with a Heresy Channelling Facet.

Attack

Malign

Malign attacks are not physical in nature, they destroy the perceived character of the target. They can be considered as simple as name-calling, can be complex witty and cruel, or can be a targeted destruction of their character in the press. Distract wounds created by Malign attacks are Tripled (x3).

Core

Pretender

Character may choose a second personality and gain Chi from it also. Characters may change this second personality for Heresy Boon Reduced points of Chi.

Incarna

Fiction

Whether you are constructed a delicately balanced web of deceit, writing a pulp sci-fi ebook, or want to play an escaped fictional character on the run in the real world then Heresy is the Incarna Facet for you.

Monster

The Monster is looks entirely like something else. Perhaps they are a Demon in the form of an innocent child, or maybe they are a shape-shifter or face-dancer, able to change their appearance as they like, then again perhaps they're just the old Janitor in a monster costume.

Personality

Deviant

Gain Chi when your actions are unique, or you lie, cheat, or mislead another – or deviate from normal behaviour.

Combat gain Chi when you play a ♥ to attack.

Quest

Infiltrate Location or Group; or Lie to/about character/object

If characters must infiltrate a secret society of enemy town, or if they need to spread disinformation then Heresy is probably the Quest they are using.

Tone

Fantasy

Whether we are talking about fighting dragons in lonely mountain caves, facing ten thousands orcs from a fortress wall, creeping through the secret passageways of a wizard's tower or disarming megalithic dead-fall traps created by long-lost inhuman civilizations then you might be playing in a Fantasy Tone.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Communication, a message must be passed or spoken to the target.
• LIMIT: Cannot be used in Specific Circumstance or Environment or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Accuracy, never completely accurate. Will activate, but Opponent/Ref may Draw and Play Annex Boon Double Reduced Ordeal Cards to represent inaccuracy)
• SPECIAL: Fabrication, all effects can be undone, or destroyed, more easily (Umbral Boon Reduced from difficulty to dispel)

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Mislead, the Annex looks and acts like another type of Annex and can even leave Red Herring (Heresy Boon based) clues.
• EXPAND: Indirect, the Annex can work through another Character or Descendant. (E.g. Eelafin Senses can have this Nimbed allowing the Eelafin to perceive through the senses of nearby animals).
• REWARD: Accuracy, add Heresy Nimbed Boon Reduced as accidently discovered truths or Pips of Penetration or Range.
• TRICK: Feint, any time the Annex plays a Distract it may automatically Draw and Play another card.

Annex Root

Momentum, mass and survival Annexes

If you are building a strongman or wilderness survival expert you probably will want an Inertia Root Facet

Annex Channel

Motion and Endurance Annexes

If you are playing a top notch pilot, a bus driver or an Iron-Man athlete you will want an Inertia Channelling Facet.

Attack

Slash

Slash attacks are the classic Wound Dæmon. Teeth, claws, and knives cause them, a deep scratch that bleeds and can include cut muscle tissue. Slash wounds triple the number of Flesh wounds caused (x3).

Core

Worker

If the character takes their time they will automatically completely succeed (cannot be used during combat.) for a cost of one Chi.

Incarna

Time

If you want to manipulate time creating a save-point Chronolith event, or play a being that is a living moment then you will be wanting an Inertia Incarna.

Monster

The Monster is inexorable, it does not stop and cannot be killed by any normal means. Inertial Monsters are immune to Mortal and Carnage wounds until stacked out. They do not gain additional Handicaps.

Personality

Sloth

Gain Chi when you succeed without paying any cost, get someone else to do it, or have a rest.

Combat gain Chi when you draw a ♠

Quest

Survive (Location / Object / Character / Monster / Trial)

When winning is not an option sometimes the Quest just becomes about survival, whether its surviving on a desert island, not being blown up by a mine-field, not getting killed by a rival gang or surviving a rite of passage then you might be in an Inertia Quest.

Tone

Epic

When a story occasionally has to skip months, years or generations of time, or if the plot is of world shattering importance then you might be involved in an Inertia Tone Epic

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Relative Motion, Target and/or User must be moving.
• LIMIT: Score Halved if User is moving.
• SACRIFICE: Time, the User must wait (taking a Half-Action only) Annex Boon Double Reduced RT phases (or Pips are discarded on RT) before Activation.
• SPECIAL: Charging Time, the User of the Annex must charge as though in GRT equal to the Inertia Umbral Boon Double Reduced (1) before use. Charging Time reduces GRT after Activation. 

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Relative Motion, if the User and Target are moving relative to each other add a Success Level.
• EXPAND: Causes motion in the Target (Inertia Nimbed Boon metres for small objects and Inertia Nimbed Boon Reduced for other Characters and larger objects).
• REWARD: Time, the target of the Annex (or the Defence that stops the Annex) is affected by an immediate GRT equal to the Inertia Nimbed Boon Double Reduced.
• TRICK: Momentum, any Spade with a face value lower or equal to Inertia Nimbed Boon Reduced x2 may add directly to the Pips of the card it is attacking with. E.g. Play a Five of Spades (Flesh) as preparation and then a Jack of diamonds (Crippling) to create a Carnage wound (and a random second card).

Annex Root

Jokes and Humour based Annexes

If it's meant to be funny then you want Jeer as the Root Facet

Attack

Freeze

Freeze attacks can consist of Cold or more likely simply causing people to stand confused and ineffectually. Freeze attacks can result from a Fear/Terror/ Horror test or from cold based attacks. Distract and Flesh wounds caused by Freeze attacks are doubled (x2).

Core

Joker

Gain Chi and +1 success level when another nearby laughs.

Incarna

Illusion

Whether you want to create an illusionary wall, a hologram, or if you want to play a Toon, hallucination or a mockery of human life risen from the grave then the Jeer Incarna is for you.

Monster

The monster is a mockery - usually a corpse animated by a low-level Increated to create Undead, but it may be a ghost, a machine or even an animal that mocks something else. The monster may even be a hallucination.

Personality

Mimic

Gain Chi when they copy another’s actions, are mistaken for what they mimic, or make a copy of an item.

Combat gain Chi when you play the same suit or wound class of card as the last card played.

Quest

Copy

Whether the Ref sees the plot as trying to duplicate a particular object or location or perhaps a character, or if the players will just be plagued by kids playing 'copycat' then you want a Jeer Quest

Tone

Comedy

Comedies come in many types, from the classical confusion based comedy, the comedy of manners through to gross-out comedies of the modern age. The only thing that unites them all is that it is meant to be funny. There may be witty banter, spoof scenarios or just general tomfoolery but it is all Jeer Tone.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Humour, someone must be laughing to Activate.
• LIMIT: Must make use of the Location and scenery or Halve Score
• SACRIFICE: Dignity, (Jeer Umbral Boon Reduced Yin).
• SPECIAL: Limited Duration (Jeer Umbral Boon as Yarn) after which effects may fade. (E.g. After a few minutes Wounds caused by the Annex will disappear)

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Humour, add Jeer Boon die to the Score/Pips if the action is humorous, funny or mimics another.
• EXPAND: The Annex has its effect regardless of any intervening obstacles or defences (unless those obstacles or defences have Annexes containing this Nimbed also). In combat, if the attack is successfully defended against (without this Nimbed) or fails because of Range then the Target immediately draws Jeer Nimbed Boon Double Reduced cards as unsoakable wounds. 
• REWARD: Dignity (Gain Jeer Nimbed Boon Reduced Chi).
• TRICK: Hearts Flush, anytime the Annex plays more than one Heart all Hearts are one Level higher.

Annex Root

Logical, Intelligence, Investigation based Annexes

If you want to play an Edwardian Consulting Detective, policeman, scientist or philosopher then you probably want an Annex with a Key Root Facet.

Annex Channel

Senses, Perception, Lockpicking and Penetration Annexes

If you want an Annex to allow you to sense, perceive, open or enter something or somewhere then you want a Key Channelling Facet.

Attack

Jab

Jab attacks are a standard of punches and quick stabs. Most bayonet wounds are Jab type; bullets also generally leave a Jab wound behind too. Jab attacks are particularly helpful against creatures that bleed (Flesh Incarna) and double Mortal Wounds (x2).

Core

Sensor

The character has an extra sense, often a danger sense or sixth sense. This is built as a free annex based on the Key Facet Boon (1-11 Skill, 12-21 Talent, 22-26 Power).

Incarna

Inspiration

If you want to build a meme, a memory or play a being composed of pure thought then Key is the Incarna for you.

Monster

The Monster is a hunter or tracker, it should favour harrying attacks and hit and run tactics. Typically such a Monster will vanish or flee if it is wounded, only to reappear when healed. The hunter may be fooled by false trails, but never for long. Hunters are usually immune to Carnage and Mortal Wounds until the Zenith of the story (such wounds are taken as Crippling Wounds instead).

Personality

Gain Chi when you ask or answer a question, look for clues, or penetrate defences.

Combat gain Chi when you play a ♠ to prepare.

Quest

Investigate/Seek Location/Character/Object

• REWARD: Thoughts, (Gain Key Nimbed Boon Reduced Chi)
• TRICK: Straight, when playing cards any cards that form a sequence(e.g. Q♣,K♦,A♠) all count as the Highest Wound Level in the straight (or One Level Higher if they are all the same).

Annex Root

Dream, Game, Luck, Freedom based Annexes

If you want an Annex for a rebel, a dreamer or a gamer then you want a Liberty Root Facet

Annex Channel

Luck, Magic, Escapology, Games, Annexes

If you are playing a pinball wizard or just a lucky son-of-a-gun then you are going to want a Liberty Channelling Annex

Ignore a Handicap when triggered by paying Sway equal to the Handicap Boon Reduced (half the normal reward).

Incarna

Dreams

If you wish to create a nightmare or want to play a creature composed entirely of dreams then you want a Liberty Formation Facet

Monster

The Monster is nightmarish, or dreamlike. Such Monsters either exist in a purely psychological realm, appearing as dreams and hallucinations, that cannot really be fought and don’t physically exist, or they are extremely dangerous and powerful Monsters that really exist and always cause Psychological Tests in those that meet them, and may be magical or supernatural in power.

Personality

Rake

Gain Chi when you try to be stylish, sensual, seductive, arrogant or rude.

Combat gain Chi when you prepare a ♥

Quest

Liberate / Rescue Object/Location/Character

When a Ref wants you to take something from someone else, if you want to mount a prison break, rescue a princess, or release an entire kingdom from a tyrants grasp then you probably will want a Liberty Quest.

Tone

Surreal

When an adventure has a strong dream-like quality, or even is a dream, where anything that occurs to the character will be, at least physically, undone when they awaken then you are in a Surreal Tone. It does not have to be a dream, many Daemons and Faeries choose to make reality seem like a dream in order to grant themselves extra abilities that are not so easily disbelieved.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Unique use, cannot be used for the same effect twice.
• LIMIT: Creative effects only or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Destiny, discard a Wyrd Tarot or Yarn Card with Pips equal to the Annex Boon Double Reduced.
• SPECIAL: Easily Lost, Wounds automatically target the Annex when applying damage and add Liberty Umbral Boon Reduced to Pips of the Wound card.

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Unique use, the Annex can be used by others (up to Liberty Nimbed Boon Reduced) at the same time,  the Annexes Umbrals effect each user individually.
• EXPAND: Ignore Liberty Boon Double Reduced Umbrals in this Annex.
• REWARD: Destiny, Draw Liberty Nimbed Boon Double Reduced cards and add them to your Wyrd Tarot Hand or Ordeal Pool.
• TRICK: Annex uses only half an Annex slot. Two Powers both with this Nimbed would fill one Power slot. This also reduces GRT for this Annex by 1.

Annex Root

Chemical, Rotting, Foulness, Corruption based Annexes

If you are planning on playing a Chemist, or if you are playing a plague demon or sentient compost heap Miasma is the Annex Root you'll need.

Annex Channel

Chemical, Toxin, Poison based Annexes

If want to build a poison, toxin or just whip up some chemistry you might need to think about a Miasma Channelling Annex

Attack

Toxin

Toxin attacks are any attack where the body is poisoned rather than a direct physical assault being the major factor. Toxin wounds automatically stack with each other, so two Toxin Distracts become a Toxin Flesh, Three is a Toxin Maim etc. Toxin attacks can take several days to have their affect, others can kill instantly the difference depends upon the toxin, Chi Duration table can be used to determine the time, also Props and creatures may have handicaps such as “Slow poison” that reduce the speed.

Core

Barber

The character can swap wound Dæmons with another character for a cost of 1 Chi per wound if the new target of the wound is willing and 6 Chi per wound if unwilling

Incarna

Toxin

Whether you wish to create some deadly Iocaine powder, develop nerve gas, an anabolic steroid, mutagenic compound or play a character who has ingested so much poison that their touch has become deadly, you want the Miasma Incarna.

Monster

The monster is a mutant or chimerical creature made from parts of others. This monster type is the oldest perhaps, you’ll find examples throughout the ancient world, particularly in Greek myth. The Mutant will often be larger, and may be malformed or unsymmetrical, with odd numbers of limbs, eyes, horns, or even heads. The Chimera will blend multiple animals together to create a new creature that combines features of all the “parent” creatures, preserving the best of all species.

Personality

Vandal

Gain Chi whenever you mock/insult/hurt someone, damage/mock something, or see the same.

Combat gain Chi when you play a Mortal or Carnage wound.

Quest

Sabotage object, Poison location/character/object, Corrupt character, location, or object

When the Ref needs you to poison a well, sabotage an experimental war-machine, or corrupt an innocent free-lance reporter, then you are on a Miasma Quest

Tone

Horror

Preying on primal fears, the creeping dread of the unknown that lurks in the dark, monsters, killers, ghosts and things that go bump in the night the Horror Tone is all about unease, tension and scaring the characters (and maybe the players a little).

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Handicap, must have a specific Handicap of Boon equal to Annex Boon reduced.
• LIMIT: May be used to negative effects only or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Youth, ages User Annex Boon Double Reduced as Yarn  Extend Duration each use. 
• SPECIAL: Corruption, the products and effects of the Annex look, smell and taste bad.

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Communicable: Spreads by contact Miasma Nimbed Boon Reduced times. In combat a Character with this Nimbed may draw and play an Ordeal card whenever a Character wounded by this Annex touches another up to Miasma Nimbed Boon Reduced times.
• EXPAND: Sickening,  add One Card Psychological Test (Fear).
• REWARD: Youth, de-ages User Miasma Nimbed Boon Reduced as Yarn Extend Duration each use. 
• TRICK: Corruption, Wounds caused by the Annex will automatically aggravate up one level each Phase of GRT to a maximum of Miasma Nimbed Boon Double Reduced (1-3 levels).

Annex Root

Natural abilities, Body-part based Annexes

If you are looking to play an animalistic character (or perhaps just build yourself an animal companion) then you are going to want lots of Nature Rooted Annexes

Annex Channel

Annexes to do with Nature and nurturing

Been worrying how to build that Motherhood, Gardening or Parenting Annex? Well you might need to look at Nature Channelling Facets

Attack

Gouge

Gouge attacks represent removing a scoop of the target, the standard gouge attack is a bite or an eye gouge. Gouge attacks can kill easily, but can also leave other Handicaps behind if the attacker wishes and the Ref agrees. Loss of sense would be appropriate for eye gouges for example. Gouge attacks do double damage at Mortal and Carnage level (x2) as things get eaten in a few short bites.

Core

Master

The character has one chosen environment in which they automatically gain one level of success.

Incarna

Flesh (Blood and Bone)

This is the most commonly selected Incarna, it is the Incarna of human beings and animals, nine times out of ten your character will have a Nature Formation Facet and Incarna.

Monster

The Monster is a force of nature, perhaps a literal elemental or more likely metaphorical. Such Monsters always pull and play an additional Ordeal card, often as on collateral damage

Personality

Shaman

Gain Chi when you listen to another, offer someone help, or tell a story (lie?).

Combat gain Chi when you draw a ♥.

Quest

Nurture (location, object or character)

When the Referee wants you to grow a plant, raise a child, look after something, maintain a piece of equipment then you are almost certainly involved in a Nature Quest

When you want an adventure to have a deep emotional impact, or simply to have a sensual experience then the Tone should be set to Nature.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Life, can only affect living beings and materials.
• LIMIT: Halve Score when affecting Nature Umbral Boon Reduced Incarna 
• SACRIFICE: Blood Sacrifice, automatically apply Annex Boon Double Reduced Flesh Wounds to the User .
• SPECIAL: Natural Ability. The Annex is always on and can never be turned off. In situations where the Annex would not be advantageous it will work against the User (e.g. Animal Senses could hurt the User if a Flashbang grenade goes off).

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Life, the Annex's effects are motile and responsive and will actively resist attempts to “dispel” it. Add Nature Reduced Boon to difficulty to dispel or Heal as inanimate objects dodge and wounds bite back.
• EXPAND: The Annex doubles its score when affecting Nature Boon Double Reduced Incarna, select the Incarna during Annex creation. In Combat if affecting a correct Incarna all Ordeal cards are added again (x2 damage becomes x3)
• REWARD: Blood Sacrifice, any time the Annex Draws a Distract you may immediately Discard and Draw again.
• TRICK: Natural Ability, the Annex grants the user resistance to similar Powers based on the Nature Nimbed Boon Reduced. E.g. A Venom Annex with Nature Nimbed Boon 17 would grant a +5 to any roll or Ordeal card to resist poisons, Venoms etc.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Specific Trigger, can only activate under specific circumstances.
• LIMIT: Will only work in a specific environment in all others Halve Score.

Monster

The Monster is the embodiment of a positive force or emotion. Such Monsters are often a counter point, or are opposed to, another Monster. Phoenix Monsters are usually capable of causing positive (and sometimes negative) emotions via a Psychology Test in those that see them, and while they may be positive in nature, they are not necessarily good, or altruistic in their actions.

Erode attacks can take millions of years to affect a mountain or rock, but a sandstorm can have the same effect on a person or vehicle in a few minutes. Accelerated time, like a Never-Time, Paradox or Chronoclysm Bomb can also have Erode effects. Targets are usually “destroyed” rather than “killed” by Erode attacks. Erode attacks do double damage (x2) against Earth, Metal and Toil Incarna.

Suspense is the lifeblood of the Thriller. The Quiet Tone It governs and is governed by the unknown, creating a need to know and sense of anticipation in the players.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Tranquility, the User cannot be affected by strong emotions.
• LIMIT: Must be used silently or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Practice, the User must practice the Annex for Annex Boon Reduced hours each week for Quiet Umbral Boon Reduced Weeks before they can activate. Failure to Practice will stop Annex from Activating.
• SPECIAL: Must roll over the Quiet Umbral Boon Value on a d200, Yin may be spent on d6’s to increase the roll to activate the Annex.

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Subtle, The Annex's use can be so subtle that it may require days of study to determine the complete effects of the Annex. Whilst there will be an immediate obvious effect, there will be other more subtle effects at play. Add Quiet Boon Reduced to the Pips of all Ordeal cards 'prepared' with this Annex.
• EXPAND: The Annex automatically activates in response to certain stimuli. When activated by the “trigger” the use does not use up a character’s action. This Nimbed is required to allow an Annex or Descendant to be added to an Ordeal Proficiency / Initiative roll. RT applies but not GRT (see also Rook “Passive” Nimbed).
• REWARD: Practice, Draw Quiet Nimbed Boon Double Reduced Extra cards in the Annex's action.
• TRICK: Sets, the Annex may play multiple cards of the same Pips as though they were a single card. E.g. Playing 5♠, 5♣, 5♦, 8♠ and 8♥ counts as playing only Two cards.

• SACRIFICE: Success, cumulative -Rook Umbral Boon Reduced from the Score each time the Annex is used in a Scene.

• TRICK: Club Flush, any time the Annex plays more than one Club all Clubs are One Level Higher.

Incarna

Energy

Maybe you want to model a power source or you'd like to train electricity or you just want to play an alien that is a living psionic energy field, well then the Virtue Incarna is for you.

Monster

The Monster is a ‘Friendly’ monster, that will almost certainly be misunderstood and attacked by some. These monsters gain a success level (or draw and play an additional card) when working with another.

Personality

Saint

Gain Chi when you show Compassion, help another or resist temptation.

Combat gain Chi when you are attacked with a ♦

Quest

Protect or Convert Location, Object or Character

When you are tasked with a literal mission to convert a bunch on the ungodly then you are probably under the influence of a Virtue Quest.

Tone

Romantic

Momentum and not love may make the world go around, but love can certainly drive a narrative on and the Virtue Tone is the main way it does it. Traditionally romance is a hero and a heroine uniting against the odds, but in these post-modern days that simple equation has a whole lot of other variants.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Last resort, will only activate as a last resort.
• LIMIT: Must be used to help another or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Power, (Annex Boon Double Reduced Chi) or connect to a power source.
• SPECIAL: Has 27- Virtue Umbral Boon uses and then must wait Annex Boon Double Reduced as Yarn on Sway table Extend Duration before another attempt. 

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Beam, the Annex creates a narrow beam, anyone caught in the Beam counts as a potential Target. Draw one card and play it for Extra Targets (+3 each). The Beam will stop after the Extra Targets are paid for.
• EXPAND: The Virtue Boon Reduced may be added to the Annex’ score when taking the average, helping another or against defences.
• REWARD: Prayers, Annex may once per Story Miracle a test or increase all Ordeal cards played by the Annex to Jokers.
• TRICK: All Diamond Ordeal Cards add Virtue Nimbed Boon Reduced Pips automatically when played in this Annex’s action.

Annex Root

Fate, Destiny, Magic, Law, Judgement based Annexes

If you want to play a Law Lord, a mage or a Judge you might need some Annexes with a Wyrd Root Facet

Annex Channel

Magic, Chi, Law, Judgment, Reward and Punishment Annexes

If you need to build a magic spell that manipulates Chi or Punishes the guilty then you probably need a Wyrd Channelling Facet

Attack

Snare

Wyrd attacks can be used to capture (and Confine) as well as kill. Additionally snares can be set, and left to attack later on their own. A prepared snare wound can sit waiting as a trap, until someone blunders into it (in fact all traps are essentially snare attacks [although the actual wound type does vary from attack to attack]). Disabling a Snare requires defeating it twice (initially dodging, parrying or ignoring it with a Club ♣ and then disabling it with a Diamond ♦ of equal or higher Pips) otherwise it may affect anyone else that moves through the area/Stage. Snares usually take a while to set (you can't dig a pit trap as easily as swinging a shovel at someone) unless using Magic. Ref's decide.

Core

Cheater

Chi/Sway cost or difficulty for one chosen effect is halved. (E.g. Reload for 4 Chi, specific sidestep for half price, increase Scale for 1/4 Max Chi, etc.)

Incarna

Space (Locations)

When you need to build a Location (a special type of descendant) or play a sentient building or grove, then you will want a Yonder Formation Facet.

Monster

The Monster is an alien, an outsider. It may just be a metaphor for alienation, or literally be an extra-(or ultra)-terrestrial. Such monsters are usually obvious and inhuman, not just to look at, but in the way they think and behave. They have apparently supernatural powers and abilities, but often make do with advanced technologies (in the form of additional Descendants).

Personality

Scout

Gain Chi when you gain information, see a new place, answer a question, or tell someone what you have experienced.

Combat gain Chi when you act at Range (paying Range costs or using Range Nimbeds).

Travel to... (Object/ Location/ Object) or Follow (Character/Vehicle)

If you've ever shouted "Quick follow that car" or followed a Treasure map then you have been involved in a Yonder Quest.

Tone

Odyssey / Road Movie

When the song of the open road, sea, sky or space-lanes calls to you it calls in a Yonder Tone.

Umbral Effects

• NEED: Space, a Location of size greater than the Annex Boon Double Reduced as Yarn.
• LIMIT: Must be at a minimum Range of Annex Boon Reduced metres or Halve Score.
• SACRIFICE: Focus (Yonder Umbral Boon Reduced Yin).
• SPECIAL: Range is multiplied by 1+ Yonder Umbral Boon Reduced before calculation.

Nimbed Effects

• FOCUS: Add Yonder Nimbed Boon Reduced Pips to any attack at range.
• EXPAND: As long as the Annex does not Physically affect the Target it may effectively ignore costs for Range. Referees may arbitrate, an ideal Nimbed for Communication Powers.
• REWARD: Focus (Gain Yonder Boon Reduced Chi)
• TRICK: Yonder Boon divides Range before difficulty is calculated. Confined is divided by Yonder Boon Reduced, Closed by Yonder Boon and Open by Yonder Value.
  e.g. Boon 2=1/2/ 5 divides distance by 1 when Confined, 2 Closed and 5 when Open, where as Boon 13=4/13/66

Annex Root

Faith, Belief, religious and travel based Annexes.

Any Annex that involves prayer is almost certainly a Zeal Root Facet

Annex Channel

Movement, Change and Vehicle Annexes

If you are planning on playing a marathon runner, a stunt-driver or just a skill in getting there then you'll be wanting a Zeal Channelling Facet

Attack

Kick

Kick attacks are exactly what they say on tin. A kick, whether it be from someones extended leg or the type of powerful knock that you get when you misfire a shotgun. A Kick wound draws a second card immediately that signifies the damage taken by being knocked down.

Core

Meddler

Character has an additional point of Twist (whether they can gain Twists or not). Normally the character would be restricted to the number of Handicaps that they had and require a Dæmonic Handicap or Annex to generate Twists.
