\begin{optfeature}[Force Stat: +STR]{Solid}
  You are made of something solid, like iron, stone, or crystal.  Your
  body is incredibly difficult to harm, giving you \armor{2}.
\end{optfeature}

\begin{optfeature}[Force Stat: +CON]{Putty}
  You are made of something between solid and liquid, like clay,
  taffy, or flesh. Your body puts itself back together
  easily. \onSuccess\ on any roll, heal 2 HP. Choose a source of
  damage (fire, acid, cold iron, magic, poisons) that you cannot
  naturally heal damage from, through either this move or the
  \move{Make Camp} move.
\end{optfeature}

\begin{optfeature}[Force Stat: +DEX]{Liquid}
  You are made of something amorphous, like water, clouds, or
  fabrics. Your body is incredibly flexible, and you can squeeze
  through gaps of any size.
\end{optfeature}

\begin{optfeature}[Force Stat: +DEX]{Danger}

  You are made of something extremely dangerous, like fire, acid, or
  poison. When \condition{someone touches you for more than a moment
    without some kind of protection}, they take 1d4 damage.

\rightbanner{Starting Moves}

\begin{basicmove}{Built for Battle}
  You were built to fight, and your body is a weapon with the
  \itag{hand} and \itag{close} tags. Choose two of the following:
  \begin{choices}
  \item Armored---your body has \armor{+1}
  \item Burning---your body leaves lasting, burning wounds on those
    you damage
  \item Caustic---your body has the \ntag{2}{piercing} tag.
  \item Detachable---your body has the \itag{near} tag, and does not
    need ammo. When \condition{a move tells you to mark ammo}, take
    1d4 damage that ignores armor instead.
  \item Flexible---your body has the \itag{precise} tag.
  \item Violent---your body has the \itag{messy} and \itag{forceful}
    tags.
  \end{choices}
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Eternal Sentinel}
  You do not need to eat, drink, or sleep. When \condition{a move tell
    you to mark rations}, ignore it. You cannot be healed by healing
  potions, bandages, poultices, or herbs. You are healed normally by
  other methods. 1 use of a repair kit can be used to heal you by 4
  HP.
\end{basicmove}
\

\begin{basicmove}{Prime Directive}
  When \condition{someone you have a bond with gives you an order},
  you take +1 forward to fulfill that order. When you \condition{take
    an action that ignores, resists, or directly contradicts an order
    given to you by someone you have a bond with}, take -1 to that
  action. When \condition{someone you have a bond with gives you an
    order you absolutely refuse to follow}, at any time before the
  order has been fulfilled, you may erase one of your bonds with that
  player to ignore that order completely.
\end{basicmove}
\

\advancesigil Choose one of the following moves to start with. You may
take the other later, as an advance.

\

\begin{amove}{Immovable Object}
  When you \condition{brace yourself before an enemy moves you against
    your will}, roll +Force.  \onSuccess, choose two. \onPartial,
  choose one:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You are not moved
  \item You throw, push, or drag the enemy who tried to move you,
    moving them just as far as they would have moved you, in any
    direction you like
  \end{itemize}
\end{amove}
\

\begin{amove}{Unstoppable Force}
  When you try to remove or plow through all obstacles in your way,
  roll +Force. \onSuccess, hold three. \onPartial, hold two. \onMiss,
  hold 1, but when you spend it, the GM will add a complication. Spend
  1 hold at any time to do one of the following:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Force your way past an obstacle in your path
  \item Distract, lift, or force aside an obstacle long enough for an
    ally or two to get past it
  \item Cause great damage to an inanimate object or obstacle that is
    in your way
  \end{itemize}

  flesh. When you move through or travel along the surface of such a
  material, roll +Force. \onSuccess, you make it through with no
  consequences, leaving no sign of your passage. \onPartial, some of

  of your passage or otherwise making things difficult for you. The GM

  gear, you can take 1d4 damage (ignoring armor) to produce 1-use the
  chosen resource.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Pinned Down}
  When you \condition{would deal damage to someone with a melee
    attack}, you may instead choose to grab them. You will never lose
  your grip on someone you have grabbed unless you choose to. You can
  end the grab at any time to do one of the following:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Slam them into something, dealing your damage to them
  \item Pin them down. They can't do anything while pinned, but
    neither can you

  will tell you how.

\begin{amove}{Explosive Entrance}
  \moveRequires{Elemental Transference}

  When you \condition{use \move{Elemental Transference} to move
    through something}, \textbf{on a 10+}, you may choose to exit

  but deal your damage to any number of enemies within Reach of your
  exit point.
\end{amove}

\begin{amove}{Exterminate}

  if you were one level lower than you are, unless that move is
  magic-based.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Material World}
  Everything around you is useful, if you take the time to make it
  so. When you \condition{spend a moment of time and safety altering
    the terrain around you}, tell us what you're trying to
  accomplish. Terraforming effects are always possible, but the GM
  will tell you one to three of the following:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You make a lot of noise, drawing attention just as you finish
  \item You need help from \blank
  \item You need to spend some gear or equipment to do it
  \item The alterations are temporary, at best

  risk to them.  In addition, add the following option to the
  \move{Pinned Down} move:

  \end{itemize}

\end{amove}

\begin{amove}{Ultimate Force}
  When you use \move{Defy Danger} with your Force stat and

  an opportunity for great destruction.
\end{amove}

\begin{amove}{We Have the Technology}
  \moveReplaces{We Can Rebuild Him} You have 3 \move{Built for Battle}
  options selected at all times. Whenever you make a move, you may
