Would a Mad Science Tree work? Something halfway in-between Unpredictable and Research? Aka. write-ins and research.
Done. You get 4 on Research, boosted rolls on Research Write-ins, and 2 on everything else.
Hmm... could we bypass the resource drain for a turn by killing some kind of prey animal?
Yes. Though that would, itself, naturally take effort.
Would raising the shield count for the combat nut perk?
- Combat Nut: Grants +2 Trait points. You can only take Combat actions, or actions to immediately prepare for or recover from Combat. If you run out of other options… consider sparring with another Combat Nut.
Potentially. But you have to actually perform an Attack every other turn, in that case.
Hmm... No... Better, let's say that "Outside of combat, you may not take <Shield or Empty Veil> two turns in a row."
If you want a crazy defense specialization, consider growing brambles worthy of Sleeping Beauty on your off turns.
It also means that for the time being, picking any other trait option for fun 'spice' is also off the table entirely.
If you want "your current Tree, +1 die in a category, and one level of Movement," I'd also let you take that.
"Anywhere sommeone needs help. Which if the past few seasons have been any indication, might just be right here."
Fair point.
As far as Tree Traits... Hmm...
Perhaps a 4 to Defense, a 3 to Offense, and a boost to Write-Ins to protect anyone worthy of protection?
Throwback: Grants +1 Trait point. You lose 1 die from two categories of action, and may take no actions from a third. You choose these now, and cannot change them later.
This would explicitly work, though one variant that would also work:
Throwback: Grants +1 Trait point. You lose 1 die from two categories of action, and have 0 dice in a third (counting all per-action-category advantages but not Movement or similar). You choose these now, and cannot change them later without buying back this disadvantage.
Welcome!
[X] To Newton Village: Hi. Don't usually talk. Figured I should explain. Seems there's an enemy. We don't know who or what they are. Just know they want us dead. As in, us the Forest...but I guess that means you all too. I'd like to apologize for all of this, and all the future conflicts you'll probably be forced into because of this. We're working on finding the enemy.
"I think you've already implied most of that, and we'd guessed the rest - aside from 'finding the enemy.' What plans do you have there, and what progress have you made?"
Nope. At least not to anyone local's best knowledge.
Even history seems to imply there haven't been actual Dragons for a
very long time. If there ever were.
Though, one of the ranks of Fire is named Dragonfire. Which should be more than a little suspicious.
Probably. Might not be on your current continent though.
Take a disadvantage that means you need to take Movement actions periodically; there's precedent, so it should be accepted.
Sure.
