  • Delvers: Creates a safe space to rest, recovering extra Energy and Health.
  • Warriors: Allow some characters to gain the first strike in combat.
  • Wielders: Activate a dormant machine to provide a simple service.
  • Versifiers: Recalls useful information about an area or person.

Gaining Intervention Points

Downgrading a Result

Players may choose to downgrade the outcome of a roll (Fortune -> Temperance, or Temperance -> Judgement) in order to add a point to the Intervention Point pool.

Critical Roll

If a player rolls a natural 1 or 20 and they keep the result, an Intervention Point is added to the pool.

Narrator Interventions

When the Narrator raises the stakes during a scene or battle, it’s called an Intervention. When an Intervention is invoked, a point is added to the pool.

Narrator Recognition

If the narrator deems it appropriate, they can add an Intervention Point to the pool to reward a player for making an important decision or taking a memorable action in the game. This should be done sparingly, and only to reward feats that are truly worthy of recognition.
