  103. \begin{basicmove}{Last Breath}
  104. When you’re \condition{dying}, you catch a glimpse of what lies
  105. beyond the Black Gates of Death’s Kingdom (the GM will describe
  106. it). Then roll (just roll, +nothing—yeah, Death doesn’t care how
  107. tough or cool you are). \onSuccess, you’ve cheated death—you’re in a
  108. bad spot but you’re still alive. \onPartial, Death will offer you a
  109. bargain. Take it and stabilize or refuse and pass beyond the Black
  110. Gates into whatever fate awaits you. \onMiss, your fate is
  111. sealed. You’re marked as Death’s own and you’ll cross the threshold
  112. soon. The GM will tell you when.
  113. \end{basicmove}
  114. \begin{basicmove}{Encumbrance}
  115. When you \condition{make a move while carrying weight up to or equal
  116. to Load}, you’re fine. When you \condition{make a move while
  117. carrying weight equal to load+1 or load+2}, you take -1. When you
  118. \condition{make a move while carrying weight greater than load+2},
  119. you have a choice: drop at least 1 weight and roll at -1, or
  120. automatically fail.
  121. \end{basicmove}
  122. \begin{basicmove}{Level Up}
  123. When you \condition{have downtime (hours or days) and XP equal to
  124. (or greater than) your current level + 7}, subtract your current
  125. level +7 from your XP, increase your level by 1, and choose a new
  126. advanced move from your class. If you are the wizard, you also get
  127. to add a new spell to your spellbook. Choose one of your stats and
  128. increase it by 1 (this may change your modifier). Changing your
  129. Constitution increases your maximum and current HP. Ability scores
  130. can’t go higher than 18.
  131. \end{basicmove}
  132. \begin{basicmove}{Carouse}
  133. When you \condition{return triumphant and throw a big party}, spend
  134. 100 coin and roll + extra 100s of coin spent. \onSuccess, choose
  135. 3. \onPartial, choose 1. On a miss, you still choose one, but things
  136. get really out of hand.

  145. When you \condition{go to buy something with gold on hand}, if it’s
  146. something readily available in the settlement you’re in, you can buy

  148. available here, or non-mundane, roll +CHA. \onSuccess, you find what
  149. you’re looking for at a fair price. \onPartial, you’ll have to pay
  150. more or settle for something similar.
  151. \end{basicmove}
  152. \begin{basicmove}{Recover}
  153. When you \condition{do nothing but rest in comfort and safety},
  154. after a day of rest you recover all your HP. After three days of
  155. rest you remove one debility of your choice. If you’re under the
  156. care of a healer (magical or otherwise) you heal a debility for
  157. every two days of rest instead.
  158. \end{basicmove}
  159. \begin{basicmove}{Recruit}
  160. When you \condition{put out word that you’re looking to hire help},

  164. \item ...what you’re setting out to do, take +1
  165. \item ...that they’ll get a share of whatever you find, take +1

  168. additional +1. \onSuccess, you’ve got your pick of a number of
  169. skilled applicants, your choice who you hire, no penalty for not
  170. taking them along. \onPartial, you’ll have to settle for someone
  171. close or turn them away. \onMiss, someone influential and ill-suited
  172. declares they’d like to come along (a foolhardy youth, a
  173. loose-cannon, or a veiled enemy, for example), bring them and take
  174. the consequences or turn them away. If you turn away applicants you
  175. take \forward{-1} to Recruit.
  176. \end{basicmove}
  177. \columnbreak
  178. \begin{basicmove}{Outstanding Warrants}
  179. When you \condition{return to a civilized place in which you’ve
  180. caused trouble before}, roll +CHA. \onHit, word has spread of your
  181. deeds and everyone recognizes you. \onPartial, that, and, the GM
  182. chooses a complication:
  183. \begin{itemize}
  184. \item The local constabulary has a warrant out for your arrest
  185. \item Someone has put a price on your head
  186. \item Someone important to you has been put in a bad spot as a result of your actions
  187. \end{itemize}
  188. \end{basicmove}
  189. \begin{basicmove}{Bolster}
  190. When you \condition{spend your leisure time in study, meditation, or hard
  191. practice}, you gain preparation. If you prepare for a week or two, 1
  192. preparation. If you prepare for a month or longer, 3
  193. preparation. When your preparation pays off spend 1 preparation for
  194. +1 to any roll. You can only spend one preparation per roll.
  195. \end{basicmove}
  196. \begin{basicmove}{End of Session}
  197. When you reach the end of a session, choose one your bonds that
  198. you feel is resolved (completely explored, no longer relevant, or
  199. otherwise). Ask the player of the character you have the bond with
  200. if they agree. If they do, mark XP and write a new bond with
  201. whomever you wish.
  202. Once bonds have been updated look at your alignment or drive. If
  203. you fulfilled that alignment at least once this session, mark XP.
  204. Then answer these three questions as a group:
  205. \begin{itemize}
  206. \item Did we discover a new place to put on the map?
  207. \item Did we learn something new or interesting about the world or
  208. its inhabitants?
  209. \item Did we overcome a difficult or interesting situation?
  210. \end{itemize}
  211. For each ``yes'' answer everyone marks XP.
  212. Finally, choose two actions from the following list. The same
  213. action can be chosen twice as long as it targets different hexes.
  214. \begin{itemize}
  215. \item The Guild of Explorers sends a scout to a particular
  216. location on the map: reveal the content of one hex.
  217. \item The Guild of Engineers constructs roads, facilitating safe
  218. travel in one hex. Treat travel on this hex as taking a
  219. \move{Safe Journey}.
  220. \item The Guild of Engineers builds an Outpost, facilitating safe
  221. stay in one hex. You do not need to \move{Make Camp} on this
  222. hex, but you still consume rations as usual.
  223. \item The Guild of Engineers builds a Keep on top of an Outpost,
  224. leading way to a town in that hex. The Explorer's Guild in this
  225. town will house and feed you, so you do not need to either
  226. \move{Make Camp} or \move{Manage Provisions} while staying
  227. in this hex.
  228. \end{itemize}
  229. If the players pool together 500 coin, they can also choose a
  230. third action from the above list.

  248. \begin{basicmove}{Undertake a Safe Journey}
  249. When you \condition{travel by a safe route} through safe or dangerous
  250. lands, indicate your path and destination on the map. You can
  251. reliably travel \hexes{4} per day during good weather, and \hexes{3} in poor

  253. Provisions}.

  255. \begin{basicmove}{Undertake a Perilous Journey}
  256. When you \condition{travel through dangerous land} and not on a
  257. safe route, indicate the course you want to take on the map and
  258. the destination you'd like to reach. Then, choose one party member
  259. to \move{Scout Ahead} and another one to \move{Navigate},
  260. resolving the moves in that order.
  261. \end{basicmove}
  262. \begin{basicmove}{Forage}
  263. When you \condition{spend a day seeking food in the wild}, roll
  264. +WIS. \onSuccess, collect 1d4 rations and choose 2 from the list
  265. below. \onPartial, collect 1d4 rations and choose 1 from the list
  266. below.
  267. \begin{itemize}
  268. \item You find an extra +1d4 rations.
  269. \item You find 1d4 supply of a useful botanical; ask the GM what
  270. it is.
  271. \item You avoid attracting unwanted attention or a troublesome
  272. situation.

  276. \end{basicmove}
  277. \begin{basicmove}{Make Camp}
  278. When you \condition{settle in to rest}, choose one member of the
  279. party to \move{Manage Provisions}. If you're somewhere dangerous,
  280. then choose someone to \move{Take Watch}. If you have enough XP
  281. you may level up. When you wake from at least a few uninterrupted
  282. hours of sleep heal damage equal to half your max HP.

  286. than an hour or so, you've probably made camp.

  380. \begin{fragment}{General Equipment Tags}
  381. These are general tags that can apply to just about any piece of
  382. gear. You’ll see them on armor, weapons or general adventuring
  383. tools.
  384. \itag{applied}: It’s only useful when carefully applied to a person
  385. or to something they eat or drink.
  386. \itag{awkward}: It’s unwieldy and tough to use.
  387. \itag{+bonus}: It modifies your effectiveness in a specified
  388. situation. It might be ``\forward{+1} to spout lore'' or
  389. ``\ongoing{-1} to \move{Hack and Slash}.''
  390. \ntag{n}{coins}: How much it costs to buy, normally. If the cost
  391. includes ``-Charisma'', a little negotiation subtracts the haggler’s
  392. Charisma score (not modifier) from the price.
  393. \itag{dangerous}: It’s easy to get in trouble with it. If you
  394. interact with it without proper precautions the GM may freely invoke
  395. the consequences of your foolish actions.
  396. \itag{ration}: It’s edible, more or less.
  397. \itag{requires}: It’s only useful to certain people. If you don’t
  398. meet the requirements it works poorly, if at all.
  399. \itag{slow}: It takes minutes or more to use.
  400. \itag{touch}: It’s used by touching it to the target’s skin.
  401. \itag{two-handed}: It takes two hands to use it effectively.
  402. \weight{n}: Count the listed amount against your
  403. Load. Something with no listed weight isn’t designed to be
  404. carried. 100 coins in standard denominations is 1 weight. The same
  405. value in gems or fine art may be lighter or heavier.
  406. \itag{worn}: To use it, you have to be wearing it.
  407. \uses{n}: It can only be used n times.
  408. \end{fragment}
  409. \begin{fragment}{Weapon Tags}
  410. Weapons may have tags that are primarily there to help you describe
  411. them (like \itag{rusty} or \itag{glowing}) but these tags have a
  412. specific, mechanical effect.
  413. \ammo{n}: It counts as ammunition for appropriate ranged
  414. weapons. The number indicated does not represent individual arrows
  415. or sling stones, but represents what you have left on hand.
  416. \itag{forceful}: It can knock someone back a pace, maybe even off
  417. their feet.
  418. \ntag{+n}{damage}: It is particularly harmful to your enemies. When
  419. you deal damage, you add n to it.
  420. \ntag{ignores armor}: Don’t subtract armor from the damage taken.
  421. \itag{messy}: It does damage in a particularly destructive way,
  422. ripping people and things apart.
  423. \itag{mystical}: It requires strange knowledge to use properly. When
  424. you \move{Hack and Slash} or \move{Volley} with a weapon with this
  425. tag, use INT instead of STR or DEX.
  426. \ntag{n}{piercing}: It goes right through armor. When you deal
  427. damage with \ntag{n}{piercing}, you subtract \textit{n} from the
  428. enemy’s armor for that attack.
  429. \itag{precise}: It rewards careful strikes. When you \move{Hack and
  430. Slash} with this weapon, use DEX instead of INT.
  431. \itag{reload}: After you attack with it, it takes more than a moment
  432. to reset for another attack.
  433. \itag{stun}: When you attack with it, it does stun damage instead of
  434. normal damage.
  435. \itag{thrown}: Throw it at someone to hurt them. If you
  436. \move{Volley} with this weapon, you can’t choose to mark off ammo on
  437. a 7–9; once you throw it, it’s gone until you can recover it.
  438. \end{fragment}
  439. \vfill\null
  440. \columnbreak
  441. \begin{fragment}{Range Tags}
  442. Weapons have tags to indicate the range at which they are useful.
  443. Dungeon World doesn’t inflict penalties or grant bonuses for
  444. “optimal range” or the like, but if your weapon says \itag{hand} and
  445. an enemy is ten yards away, a player would have a hard time
  446. justifying using that weapon against him.
  447. \itag{hand}: It’s useful for attacking something within your reach,
  448. no further.
  449. \itag{close}: It’s useful for attacking something at arm’s reach
  450. plus a foot or two.
  451. \itag{reach}: It’s useful for attacking something that’s several
  452. feet away— maybe as far as ten.
  453. \itag{near}: It’s useful for attacking if you can see the whites of
  454. their eyes.
  455. \itag{far}: It’s useful for attacking something in shouting
  456. distance.
  457. \end{fragment}
  458. \begin{fragment}{Gadget and Spell Tags}
  459. Some playbooks (including the Witch, the Mage, and the Artificer)
  460. will allow you to select tags to associate with a spell you cast
  461. (for the Witch and the Mage) or the gadgets you create (for the
  462. Artificer). These sometimes include the other tags above, like
  463. \itag{forceful} or \ntag{2}{piercing}, but some tags are specific to
  464. spells and gadgets.
  465. \itag{+2 armor vs \blank}: It gives you armor when you're being
  466. damaged by something specific, and not against all kinds of
  467. damage. For example, \itag{+2 armor fire} will protect you against
  468. magical and non-magical fire, \itag{+2 armor vs. ammo} will protect
  469. you from ranged weapons, or \itag{+2 armor vs. environment} will
  470. protect you from sudden falls or rubble.
  471. \itag{elemental (\blank)}: It deals damage associated with a
  472. particular element. For example, \itag{elemental (fire)},
  473. \itag{elemental (ice)}, or \itag{elemental (electric)}.
  474. \itag{alternate movement(\blank)}: It allows you to move from place
  475. to place using the listed method, which might affect the places you
  476. can get to, or how easy or fast it is to get to those places . For
  477. example, \itag{alternate movement(hover)}, \itag{alternate
  478. movement(jumping)}, \itag{alternate movement(climbing)},
  479. \itag{alternate movement (swimming)}, or \itag{alternate
  480. movement(ethereal)}.
  481. \itag{debilitating (n damage)}: It will stun, slow, or weaken an
  482. enemy hit by it, in a method you describe, but it will do less
  483. damage as specified by the modifier (such as \itag{debilitating
  484. (half damage)} or \itag{debilitating (-1 damage)}).
  485. \itag{n targets (n damage)}: It will apply to more enemies than
  486. usual, but it will do less damage as specified by the modifier (such
  487. as \itag{2 targets (half damage)} or \itag{2 targets (-1
  488. damage)}).
  489. \end{fragment}
  490. \begin{fragment}{Mount and Vehicle Tags}
  491. The tags below apply to mounts and vehicles. Some of them can only
  492. apply to mounts and some can only apply to vehicles. If the tag does
  493. not specify, then it can apply to either. Size tags are described
  494. under the \textbf{Mount and Vehicle Rules} section.
  495. \itag{aquatic}: It can swim and breathe underwater. This
  496. doeesn't mean that you can, though, so you might want to bring
  497. specialized equipment. Unless otherwise specified, the mount cannot
  498. travel on land.
  499. \itag{burrowing}: It can burrow into the earth. You are not
  500. necessarily protected as it does so.
  501. \itag{fearless} (mount): It is without fear and will not be
  502. startled, bravely facing anything you are willing to face
  503. yourself. This can represent anything from loyalty to its master to
  504. battle-hardening training. Unless this mount is injured, you always
  505. take the 10+ result on the Control Mount move.
  506. \itag{flying}: It can fly, by wings or some other mechanism.
  507. \itag{giant}: It is an exceptionally large variant of its species or
  508. make. This applies to \itag{small} or \itag{tiny} mounts, and causes
  509. them to act as a \itag{large} or \itag{huge} mount.
  510. \itag{living} (vehicle): It heals naturally by one Stress when you
  511. make Camp. It does not need repairs, but it may require feeding. The
  512. Vehicle counts as both a Mount and a Vehicle for the purposes of
  513. having other tags.
  514. \itag{miniature}: It is an exceptionally small variant of its
  515. species or make. This applies to \itag{large} or \itag{huge} mounts,
  516. and causes them to act as a \itag{small} or \itag{tiny} mount.
  517. \itag{construct} (mount): It is a magically-powered artificial being
  518. which requires no food, but it may need maintenance and fuel. It
  519. does not heal naturally, but it also does not tire.
  520. \itag{sentient} (mount): Its is self-aware, possibly capable of speech, and
  521. can learn complex tasks such as reading and writing.

  527. \textbf{Important note: the rules in this section are speculative
  528. and are subject to change as they are tested!}
  529. This campaign is designed around the idea that your character won't
  530. be present at every game, and that's okay! However, just because
  531. your character wasn't involved in an active expedition, that doesn't
  532. mean your character was static. To find out what your character has
  533. been up while other expeditions happened---that is, when other
  534. sessions happened that you weren't present for---you can use these
  535. \textbf{Downtime Moves}.
  536. If you were present at the last session, then don't use any of these
  537. moves: your character is still fresh off their last adventure, and
  538. hasn't had time to spend doing the activities that constitute
  539. downtime.
  540. The rules given here will often tell you to roll +absence, which is
  541. a modifier based on how long since your character took part in an
  542. expedition.
  543. \begin{itemize}
  544. \item If you last played \textbf{two sessions ago}, then +0.
  545. \item If you last played \textbf{more than two sessions ago but in
  546. the past month}, then +1.
  547. \item If you last played \textbf{more than a month ago}, then +2.
  548. \item If you last played \textbf{more than two months ago}, then +3.
  549. \end{itemize}
  550. Note also that the rolls described here are Dungeon World rolls,
  551. which means that it's possible to fail them! You should still mark
  552. XP on failure, and the GM will still introduce a negative
  553. consequence of your roll. If you don't want to risk it, you can
  554. always \move{Attend to Home}, which carries no risk but only a
  555. modest reward, or \move{Cultivate Saplings}, which has benefits in
  556. subsequent sessions.
  557. \begin{basicmove}{Attend to Home}
  558. If you \condition{spent time quietly, managing your affairs and

  566. 1, but the GM will likely give you another complication: maybe you
  567. agreed to an ill-considered bet, are on the hook for a job, or
  568. simply have attracted some attention that will make things hard
  569. for you in the future.
  570. \begin{itemize}
  571. \item You had a memorable experience: take 1 XP, and explain
  572. what happened to you in the intervening weeks.
  573. \item You did a lucrative job: take 10 gold per session missed,
  574. and explain what job you did and who you did it for.
  575. \item You found an interesting object: the GM will tell you what
  576. object you found, and you'll have to explain how you came
  577. across it.
  578. \item You heard an interesting rumor about some place in the
  579. wilderness: the GM will tell you the rumor, and you'll have to
  580. explain where and how you heard it.
  581. \item You met a potential travelling-partner: treat this as an
  582. automatic 10+ on a \move{Recruit} roll, with the first
  583. session's cost paid. Explain how you met this hireling and why
  584. their first cost is paid. If you want to travel with them

  642. \begin{fragment}{How Mounts Work}
  643. It’s easiest to think of mounts and vehicles as being a type of
  644. specialized equipment. They do not have ability scores or normal
  645. stat modifiers, they do not have hit points, and they are not
  646. treated as separate characters. Rather, a loyal steed is
  647. considered to be an extension of your character, adding to what is
  648. already there rather than trying to clutter up your playbook or
  649. add complicated rules for who gets attacked when someone strikes
  650. at you. The physical capabilities of a mount are summed up by
  651. their Size, their quality by their Control, and everything else is
  652. details for making your mount come alive in the fiction.
  653. \end{fragment}
  654. \begin{basicmove}{Riding a Mount or Vehicle}
  655. While \condition{riding a Mount}, you are its Rider. While
  656. \condition{piloting a Vehicle}, you are its Pilot.
  657. While \condition{you are the Rider or Pilot of a Mount or
  658. Vehicle}, you have access to all of its moves as if they were
  659. your own. You perform tasks as if you were your mount or vehicle’s
  660. size instead of your own size. If a roll is called for, use your
  661. own stats, unless the mount or vehicle has a move that specifies
  662. otherwise.
  663. \end{basicmove}
  664. \begin{fragment}{Control}
  665. Control is the quality or effectiveness of your mount or vehicle,
  666. their ease of control and the good nature, training or design
  667. inherent in them. A mount with a low Control stat is disloyal and
  668. cantankerous, while a mount with a high Control stat is obedient
  669. and well suited to riding. A vehicle with a high Control stat is
  670. intuitive to control and handles smoothly, while one with a low
  671. Control stat is complicated or handles poorly.
  672. \end{fragment}
  673. \begin{fragment}{Size}
  674. Size is a special kind of tag which roughly describes what a mount
  675. is physically capable of.
  676. A \itag{tiny} mount is appropriate for faeries, pixies, sentient
  677. mice and beings who are about two apples tall. It can fit in very
  678. small spaces, hide easily in pockets of larger beings and go
  679. unnoticed with big people. It can move small things around for
  680. you.
  681. A \itag{small} mount is anywhere from the size of a fairly large
  682. dog up to a human being. These mounts are appropriate for
  683. small-sized peoples and can fit in houses and caverns where larger
  684. mounts could not, allowing small folk a significant mount
  685. advantage indoors!
  686. A \itag{large} mount is around the size of a winged horse, somewhat
  687. larger or somewhat smaller included. These mounts do not easily
  688. fit into most dungeons or houses, but they can do things like pull
  689. wagons for long periods and rip out prison bars from weak town
  690. jails. They are the smallest type of mounts human-size folk can
  691. normally tame and ride.
  692. A \itag{huge} mount is around the size of a young adult
  693. dragon. They are large enough to break walls and tear the roofs
  694. off cottages with fair ease, and can pull or lift massive loads
  695. (such as very large tree trunks) with almost no effort.
  696. \end{fragment}
  697. \begin{fragment}{Passenger}
  698. The passenger stat is the maximum number of people that can safely
  699. ride this mount or vehicle, not including the rider/pilot. Small
  700. people might not count towards the limit, and large people might
  701. take extra space. A Passenger does not gain the benefits of a
  702. mount’s moves unless the moves are designated as Passenger moves.
  703. If your mount or vehicle is larger or smaller than usual (see the
  704. \itag{giant} and \itag{miniature} tags), you may wish to modify
  705. the value of its Passenger stat.
  706. Some mounts and vehicles have Passenger moves. A Passenger move
  707. cannot be used by the Pilot---it must be used by someone hitching
  708. a ride. Some complicated vehicles need multiple people to operate
  709. them properly, and some mounts need too much attention from their
  710. rider to use everything they have at their disposal.

  715. Mounts need food to survive, just like players do. They can feed
  716. off of either Dungeon Rations or Monster Feed. If a Mount is
  717. injured, it cannot take action until it has been healed, either by
  718. using healing items (bandages, potions, etc), or by resting for a
  719. few days with attentive care. Mounts have a Load stat dependent
  720. on their size. Tiny mounts have a Load of 1. Small mounts have a
  721. Load of 5. Large mounts have a Load of 10. Huge mounts can carry
  722. as much gear and equipment as you can fit on them. A Mount
  723. carrying more than its Load cannot use its moves or have a Rider.
  724. \end{fragment}
  725. \begin{fragment}{Vehicle-Specific Rules}
  726. Vehicles have a special form of damage known as Stress. A vehicle
  727. has 3 marks of Stress, unless otherwise noted. When a vehicle
  728. takes 10 or more points of damage from a single attack, mark off
  729. one point of Stress. The \itag{piercing} tag reduces the amount
  730. of damage needed to cause Stress by an amount equal to the
  731. \itag{piercing} value. For example, a weapon with
  732. \ntag{2}{piercing} only needs to deal 8 or more damage in a single
  733. blow to cause a point of Stress. When your vehicle removes a
  734. point of Stress, choose one option from the Jury Rig list.
  735. \end{fragment}
  736. \begin{basicmove}{Control Mount (+Control)}
  737. When \condition{your mount bucks due to fear, injury or shock},
  738. roll +Control. \onSuccess, you remain mounted. \onPartial, you
  739. become unhorsed, and your mount leaves the scene, but it doesn't
  740. get too far. You'll be able to mount it again once the danger has
  741. passed. \onMiss, your mount also becomes too injured, tired or
  742. frightened to carry you until it has received care and rest when
  743. you Make Camp.
  744. \end{basicmove}
  745. \begin{basicmove}{Control Vehicle (+Control)}
  746. When your \condition{vehicle skids and shakes under difficult
  747. conditions or a powerful attack}, roll +Control. \onSuccess, you
  748. maintain control of the vehicle. \onPartial, the GM chooses one:
  749. \begin{itemize}
  750. \item A passenger or crewmember is briefly stunned as they slam into
  751. something.
  752. \item A sudden mechanical fault makes the situation more precarious.
  753. \item The vehicle briefly spins out of control and doesn’t quite go
  754. where the pilot intended it to.
  755. \end{itemize}
  756. \end{basicmove}
  757. \begin{basicmove}{Damage Report}
  758. When \condition{a vehicle marks a point of Stress}, the GM chooses
  759. one of the following:
  760. \begin{itemize}
  761. \item Choose a move the Vehicle has. It loses that move.
  762. \item \ongoing{-1} to Control.
  763. \item \ongoing{-1} to Armor.
  764. \item \ongoing{-1} or \ongoing{-2} to Passengers. If this brings the
  765. Passenger stat below the number of people on board, someone just
  766. lost their seat.
  767. \item There’s a problem---a bad wheel, a broken rudder, or something
  768. else you’ll need to deal with to keep the vehicle working
  769. properly.
  770. \end{itemize}
  771. \end{basicmove}
  772. \begin{basicmove}{Jury Rig (+INT)}
  773. When you \condition{have to repair damage to a vehicle on the fly},
  774. roll +INT. \onSuccess, choose two. \onPartial, choose one:
  775. \begin{itemize}
  776. \item The vehicle regains the use of one Move.
  777. \item The vehicle removs a current penalty
  778. \item You repair any onboard equipment which requires it.
  779. \item You give the vehicle a temporary boost, granting the pilot
  780. \forward{+1} on the next roll involving Control.
  781. \end{itemize}
  782. \onMiss, choose one anyway, but some side effect of the repair will
  783. cause another fault at an inopportune moment (the GM will tell you
  784. when).
  785. The Jury Rig move does not remove a mark of Stress from the vehicle,
  786. even if you used the move to repair something that was caused by
  787. gaining Stress.
