Milestones
Level 3
Command
Unlock the 👉 Command action for intelligent biological ♟️ Followers.
This allows you to issue orders to your ♟️ Followers in combat, directing them to attack specific targets, defend positions, retreat, assist allies, or rally.
Without this milestone, intelligent ♟️ Followers act according to their own instincts or GM guidance. You cannot direct their combat behavior.
Level 5
Call 'Em Out
In a tense social situation, you may publicly challenge an NPC about a contradiction, omission, or suspicious detail in their statements.
Make a 👄 CHA + 💬 Speech Test opposed by the target’s 😌 Composure.
On success:
- The NPC is exposed — they must respond in a way that reveals information, shifts blame, or escalates the situation
- You gain Advantage on subsequent Speech Tests against this NPC for the remainder of the interaction
On failure:
- The NPC deflects or turns the accusation against you
- You may suffer Disadvantage on your next 💬 Speech Test against them (GM discretion)
Call ‘Em Out can be used once per conversation. It represents reading subtle cues, inconsistencies, and emotional tells that untrained characters would miss.
Level 7
Rally the Troops!
Unlock the 👉 Command: Rally the Troops! Command action. When used, it gives +3 ⚡ AP to affected ♟️ Followers.
Level 10
Unifier of the Wastes
Once per Long Rest, when combat begins in the presence of neutral NPCs, you may immediately convert up to 3 neutral NPC characters into temporary ♟️ Followers for the duration of the combat.
This ability is automatic — no Speech Test is required. It represents your legendary reputation for leadership — when violence erupts, people instinctively rally to your side.
