Mechanics
React Under Fire: When you are in a bad spot and take action in a fight to avoid danger or overcome an obstacle, envision your approach and roll. If you are…
In pursuit, fleeing, dodging, getting back into position, or taking cover: Roll +edge
Remaining stalwart against fear or temptation: Roll +heart
Blocking or diverting with force, or taking the hit: Roll +iron
Moving into hiding or creating a distraction: Roll +shadow
Changing the plan, finding a way out, or cleverly bypassing an obstacle: Roll +wits*
With Wits [Weak Hit: 2 + 3 + 0 = 5 vs 4 | 6] (extend the shields)
On a weak hit, you avoid the worst of the danger or overcome the obstacle, but not without a cost. Make a suffer move (-1). You stay in a bad spot. (hull under pressure and all three squid close in)
Withstand Damage: When your vehicle faces a damaging situation or environment, suffer -1 integrity for minor damage, -2 for serious damage, or -3 for major damage. If your integrity is 0, Lose Momentum equal to any remaining damage.
Then, if your integrity is 0 or you choose to resist the damage, roll +integrity.
[Strong Hit: 5 + 5 + 1 = 10 vs 2 | 9] Shields repel damage
On a strong hit, choose one.
Bypass: If your vehicle is not battered, take +1 integrity*
Ride it out: Take +1 momentum
Clash: When you are in a bad spot and fight back against a foe at close quarters, roll +iron*; when you exchange fire at a distance, roll +edge.
[Strong Hit: 5 + 1 + 0 = 6 vs 5 | 3]
On a strong hit, mark progress twice. You overwhelm your foe and are in control. (approach vents, charge shields with arcanicity, zap!)
Gain Ground: When you are in control and take action in a fight to reinforce your position or move toward an objective, envision your approach and roll. If you are…
In pursuit, fleeing, or maneuvering: Roll +edge*
[Weak Hit: 5 + 1 + 0 = 6 vs 5 | 8]
On a hit, you stay in control. On a weak hit, choose one.
Mark progress* (8 progress)
Add +1 on your next move (not a progress move)
(Into vents: ironside Doomspire)
Take Decisive Action: When you seize an objective in a fight, envision how you take decisive action. Then, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress.
If you are in control, check the result as normal. If you are in a bad spot, count a strong hit without a match as a weak hit, and a weak hit as a miss.
[Progress Roll: Escaping the Skysquid: Strong Hit = 8 vs 4 | 3] 9 momentum
On a strong hit, you prevail. Take +1 momentum.
Escaping the Sky Squid complete
Journey to Conflict: one box filled (3/10)
Vow: 2 ticks on Disrupt Armada at Conflict (.5/10)
When you immerse yourself in arcane technology, roll +wits.
[Weak Hit: 3 + 3 + 0 = 6 vs 2 | 10]
Strong hit : Add the value of the action die to your arcanicity track. You may Secure an Advantage or Face danger +arcanicity to create minor magitech effects. If you do, suffer -1 arcanicity, and take +1 momentum on a hit.
Weak Hit: as above, but it's exhausting. Endure Stress (2 Stress).
Suffer: Ironsworn: Starforged Rulebook (pg. 202)
When you face mental strain, shock, or despair, suffer -1 spirit for minor stress, -2 for serious stress, or -3 for major stress. If your spirit is 0, Lose Momentum equal to any remaining stress.
Then, if your spirit is 0 or you choose to resist the stress, roll +spirit or +heart, whichever is higher.
[Strong Hit: 6 + 3 + 0 = 9 vs 8 | 4] +1 Spirit (4)
On a strong hit, choose one.
Shake it off: If you are not shaken, take +1 spirit
Embrace the darkness: Take +1 momentum
Adventure: Ironsworn: Starforged Rulebook (pg. 148)
When you assess a situation, make preparations, or attempt to gain leverage, envision your action and roll. If you act…
With expertise, focus, or observation: Roll +wits
[Strong Hit: 5 + 3 + 0 = 8 vs 5 | 1]
On a hit, you succeed. On a strong hit, take both. On a weak hit, choose one.
Add +1 on your next move (not a progress move) *
Infiltrator: When you make a move to break into a secure site, infiltrate a protected area, or hack or manipulate a secure system, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit. On a strong hit with a match, access is easier than expected; take another +1 momentum.
Exploration: Ironsworn: Starforged Rulebook (pg. 169)
When you trailblaze a route through perilous space, journey over hazardous terrain, or survey a mysterious site, give the expedition a name and rank. Then, for each segment of the expedition, envision your approach. If you…
Keep under the radar: Roll +shadow
[Weak Hit: 5 + 2 + 2 = 9 vs 10 | 7]
On a strong hit, you reach a waypoint. Envision the location and mark progress per the rank of the expedition (1 box)
On a weak hit, as above, but this progress costs you. Choose one.
Suffer costs en route: Make a suffer move (-2), or two suffer moves (-1).
Face a peril at the waypoint: Envision what you encounter.*
