\begin{basicmove}{Trap Expert}
  When you \condition{spend a moment to survey a dangerous area}, roll
  +DEX. \onSuccess, hold 3. \onPartial, hold 1. Spend your hold as you
  walk through the area to ask these questions:

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Is there a trap here and if so, what activates it?
  \item What does the trap do when activated?
  \item What else is hidden here?
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Tricks of the Trade}
  When you \condition{pick locks or pockets or disable traps}, roll
  +DEX. \onSuccess, you do it, no problem. \onPartial, you still do
  it, but the GM will offer you two options between suspicion, danger,
  or cost.
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Backstab}
  When you \condition{attack a surprised or defenseless enemy with a
    melee weapon}, you can choose to deal your damage or
  roll +DEX. \onSuccess, choose two. \onPartial, choose one.

  \begin{itemize}
  \item You don’t get into melee with them
  \item You deal your damage+1d6
  \item You create an advantage, \forward{+1} to you or an ally acting
    on it
  \item Reduce their armor by 1 until they repair it
  \end{itemize}

\end{basicmove}
\


\begin{basicmove}{Flexible Morals}
  When \condition{someone tries to detect your alignment} you can tell
  them any alignment you like.
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Poisoner}
  You’ve mastered the care and use of a poison. Choose a poison from
  the list below; that poison is no longer dangerous for you to
  use. You also start with three uses of the poison you
  choose. Whenever you have time to gather materials and a safe place
  to brew you can make three uses of the poison you choose for
  free. Note that some poisons are applied, meaning you have to
  carefully apply it to the target or something they eat or
  drink. Touch poisons just need to touch the target, they can even be
  used on the blade of a weapon.

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Oil of Tagit (\itag{applied}): The target falls into a light
    sleep
  \item Bloodweed (\itag{touch}): The target deals -1d4 damage ongoing
    until cured
  \item Goldenroot (\itag{applied}): The target treats the next
    creature they see as a trusted ally, until proved otherwise
  \item Serpent’s Tears (\itag{touch}): Anyone dealing damage to the
    target rolls twice and takes the better result.
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}
