VIII - Justice (8)
Description
The eighth arcanum symbolises order, balance, stability, logic, and math. It also represents bureaucracy and complicated organisations made up of many sub-organisations, fitting together in kaleidoscopic, unending fractals.
Creation
The PC adds 1 point to their Machine aspect, and 3 points to allocate as they choose to characteristics linked to this aspect.
Fate
When they play this card, a PC can add two additional effects to all their attacks for the entire duration of a conflict phase. The effects must be chosen from the following list: ignore armour, ignore FF, wrath, demoralising.
She turns her sword against those who deserve it.Pasts
An administrative posting, a keeper of the peace, a life of predictable stability, a scientist, unnerving stability, drowning in paperwork, having to follow monstrous orders, facing blind justice.
Advantage - Astute
Given their innate logic and common sense, the character is particularly difficult to manipulate. They get one automatic success on skill checks when determining whether they are being used, played, or duped, regardless of the combo of characteristics involved. Furthermore, if this skill check’s result is a critical failure, the PC suffers the consequences of a normal failure instead.
Disadvantage - Too cautious
The character’s cautious ways sometimes make them act slower than their peers. They aren’t being timid, they are simply ’analysing every angle of the situation.’ Or so they say. In game terms, when determining initiative the PC only rolls 2D6 (plus any additional bonuses) instead of the usual 3D6.
