Rank

Your expertise at taking charge of people and situations.

• Belay. You may use your own defense or guard to retort an influence attack on a follower within areas up to your own sway. This retort uses your command skill score.
• Order. If you have a followers, you may use a snap to control their actions completely, otherwise they will remain passive or defensive. Ordering followers outside your sway requires a successful command check. Followers with markers will become passive or defensive even if orders are issued.
• Recruit. You establish your credentials as a leader. This takes an action, and a successful check against your command score. Your targets must be neutral, without sway, and within areas up to your own sway. The usual influence modifiers apply. If you fail, targets equal to your failure margin will flee or turn against you, no longer counting as neutral. If you succeed, your success margin is the number of targets who join you as followers.
• Supervise. You direct the efforts of others. Select a project that you could perform and make a check against your command score. The success margin is the number of followers who perform that project as though you were doing it yourself. A success with 0 margin means you perform the project yourself at least. On a failure you don't get to attempt the project either. If the project required a check, you make the check and all supervised followers get the same success or failure margin.
• Threaten. Outside of an encounter you can attempt to force a target with no sway to do your bidding. You roll against your command skill score. If the task you assign is dangerous there is a penalty (-2) on the check. Whether you succeed or fail the target gains the grudge modifier against you. If you fail the target refuses. If you succeed target will do as you ask. Complex tasks may require success margin for each component.
