ORDER FOLLOWERS

When you direct them to make a move and they do so, roll +1 instead of +STAT if any of their tags apply (or +2 if they're also exceptional). If no tags apply, roll +0. If any of their tags would get in the way, roll with disadvantage.

When they are without orders or they act on their own initiative, the GM says what they do and how it goes.

Strengthen Your Bond

When you pay their cost and you haven't done so recently, they hold +1 Loyalty (max 3). Spend their Loyalty 1-for-1 to have them:

  • Overcome their fear to do as you say
  • Resist acting on their instinct/tags/traits
  • Do something they don't want to do (as long as it's not abhorrent or suicidal)
