  • Temperance: Create 2 consumables that you can distribute to your allies. When consumed, each recovers either 1 health or 2 energy.
  • Judgement: Create 2 consumables that recovers 1 energy, and one will have actions cost +1 energy for two rounds.

Note for Narrators: Assuming that players are not abusing the existing systems, you could waive the need for tracking ingredients. That said, to prevent potential abuses with the [Heal] skill, we recommend that characters can only benefit from [Heal] a number of times per scene equal to their Grit score.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that we’re not intending the ingredients to be used as a rationing-survival system.
