Stunts

The purpose of this page is the collection and dissemination of fan-made stunts for the Dresden Files Roleplaying Game.

It is written under the assumptions that stunts can enhance magical abilities in some limited ways, and that social stunts obey the same limitations as physical ones.

If you disagree with the former assumption, ignore every stunt marked with a single asterisk like so: *.

If you disagree with the latter assumption, increase the power of every stunt marked with two asterisks like so: **.

Most of the contents of this list are available as a text document here.

This list underwent a pretty serious revision back in 2012. If you want, you can find the pre-revision version of it as a text document here.

Quality control on this page was once fairly strict, but it was never perfect and it's been neglected recently. Use this stuff at your own risk. Fan-made stunts which have been judged unsuitable for inclusion in this list are moved over here.

toc = Alertness = 
 * Attention!:** You have been trained to follow orders instantly in combat. When in a physical conflict, you may replace your initiative with that of a friendly character with this stunt.
 * The Advantage Of Familiarity:** There are benefits to knowing a place really well. Pick a location or a small neighbourhood. Add two to your Alertness skill while you are in this area.
 * Sentry:** You have the ability to wait, devoting your full effort to watchfulness, for hours on end. Your Endurance skill never restricts your Alertness skill owing to a lack of rest. In addition, add one to your Alertness skill when using its Passive Awareness and Avoiding Surprise trappings while in the same zone that you were in during the previous exchange.
 * Notice Tell:** Your keen senses allow you to pick up on the subtle clues that indicate when a person is lying. You may use your Alertness skill to defend against Deceit-based social maneuvers and attacks.
 * Master of the Tell:** (Requires Notice Tell) Long practice has made you incomparably good at noticing the mannerisms that accompany deception. Add two to your Alertness skill when using it to defend against Deceit-based maneuvers and attacks.
 * Primitive Tracker:** Your methods of tracking are simple and intuitive, but nonetheless effective. You may use your Alertness skill for the Tracking trapping of Survival.
 * Inspector:** Short-term and long term inspection of something are essentially the same thing. You may use your Alertness skill for the Examination trapping of Investigation.
 * Notice the Unseen:** You have an uncanny knack for noticing things that are magically hidden. Add three to your Alertness skill when using it to notice things that are either invisible or veiled.

= Athletics = 
 * War Mount:** You work together with your rider in order to defend yourselves. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it for defense while being ridden.
 * Protector:** You are an expert at the protection of others. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to create a block to protect another character. (A similar stunt could exist in many other skills.)
 * Ball Toss:** Throwing a basketball isn't very different from throwing a knife. You may use your Athletics skill to wield thrown weapons. You do not get any bonus from speed powers for these attacks.
 * Spell Sense:** Through exposure to and training against spellcasters you have developed a nearly preternatural awareness of danger from magical attacks. As such, you can react to that danger sooner and more effectively. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to defend against spellcasting (including enchanted items).
 * Reading the Line of Fire:** You can tell where the bullets will go before the trigger is pulled. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to dodge gunfire.
 * I Grew Up Doing This:** You are very familiar with a certain environment, and you find it easy to navigate its obstacles. Pick an environment. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to bypass barriers in that environment. For the purposes of this stunt, a valid environment is any area or type of area that you expect to spend a significant amount of time outside of.
 * Highly Mobile:** You move abnormally easily, and you find it easy to do other things while moving. You may move one zone each turn as a supplemental action without taking the normal -1 penalty.
 * Evasion:** Like the members of certain character classes from Dungeons And Dragons (version 3.5), you have an amazing ability to remain unharmed when caught within the area of effect of an explosion. Add two to your Athletics-based defence rolls against area attacks.
 * Unhindered Defences:** Armour and weapons are wonderful things, but they tend to slow a fellow down. So you don't carry weapons or wear armour. Add two to your Athletics defence rolls as long as you are unarmed and unarmoured.
 * Land On Your Feet:** Like a cat, you are able to fall from great heights without great harm. When making an Athletics roll to resist falling damage, do not halve the result before converting it to armour.
 * Spring-Heeled:** Maybe you don't actually have springs in your heels, but it sure looks as though you do. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to jump.
 * Fight By Jumping:** (Requires Spring-Heeled) It is normally a very bad idea to jump up high while fighting, but you make it work. Increase your Athletics skill by a further two when making a jump-based maneuver in combat, but all aspects created this way are automatically fragile.
 * Out Of Reach:** (Requires Fight By Jumping) It isn't easy to hit a guy who's five feet above your head. So long as you possess an aspect created through Fight By Jumping, add two to your defence rolls against melee attacks.
 * The §$%& Bastard Will Not Escape:** Nobody gets away from you. Add two to your Athletics skill when using it to chase someone.
 * Run Away:** Discretion is the better part of valour, at least for you. On a successful defence with Athletics, you may sacrifice your next action to turn that defense roll into an immediate Sprint action.
 * Graceful Silence:** Your natural poise and grace enable you to pass quietly and undetected. You may use your Athletics skill for the Skulking trapping of the Stealth skill.
 * Deadly Grace:** Your speed and agility let you take people down before they realise what's going on. You may use your Athletics skill for the Ambush trapping of the Stealth skill.
 * Like a Ninja:** You've seen enough fights to know that dodging is the best way to go. Gain a +2 to Athletics when dodging.

= Burglary = 
 * Security Expert:** Knowing how to case a place means that you know how to protect a place against other people with the same idea. You may use your Burglary skill to perform blocks against the future use of Burglary upon a target that you have successfully assessed with the Casing trapping. This block represents your efforts to correct the security flaws that you notice. Its duration and the time taken to set it up will vary according to the GM's discretion.
 * Five-Fingered Discount:** Why buy what you can steal? You may use your Burglary skill instead of your Resources skill to “buy” things. Everything “bought” this way has the aspect “Stolen Property”. The difficulty of an attempt to “buy” something with Burglary may or may not be the same as the difficulty of an attempt to buy that same thing with Resources, at the GM's discretion. The time required may also vary.
 * Specialized Criminal:** Thieves have specialties, just like scientists. Pick a type of thing that can be burgled (eg. banks, apartments). Add two to your Burglary skill when using it against that type of thing.
 * I Lupin!:** Somehow, you can always pull of a stroke of larcenous brilliance when it really counts. Once per scene, you may spend a Fate Point in order to get a +4 bonus to a Burglary roll.
 * Burglar's Signature:** Some aspect of your character makes you an expert thief. Pick one of your aspects. Add two to the result of any Burglary roll that you invoke that aspect on.
 * Disable Device:** If you can take apart a lock, you can take apart a clock. You may use your Burglary skill for the Breaking trapping of the Craftsmanship skill.

= Contacts = 
 * Absolute Authority:** You are good at being in charge. Add two to your Contacts skill as long as you are in a position of authority over those you intend to contact.

 * Chain of Command:** You are a soldier, and other soldiers answer to you. Add two to your Contacts skill when using it to deal with other soldiers.
 * The Boss:** People do what you say. Add a new trapping called Employment to your Contacts skill. The Employment trapping is used to acquire or already have subordinates, employees, and minions. An employee's relevant skills are generally roughly equal to half of the roll made to hire them. Employees will not perform risky, illegal, or unethical actions unless you take a penalty to your hiring roll in order to find people willing to do risky, illegal, or unethical things. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * Minions, Attack!:** (Requires The Boss) You might not be good at fighting people, but you sure know how to point at a target. This stunt allows you to treat your minions as weapons rather than as independent characters. Minions are wielded with the Contacts skill. The weapon rating, range, and other traits of a group of minions depends on their numbers, quality, and equipment. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * Minions, Defend!:** (Requires Minions, Attack!) Your loyal minions defend you capably. As long as you have minions present, you may use your Contacts skill for the Dodging trapping of the Athletics skill. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * Coordinated Attack:** (Requires Minions, Attack!) Your expert leadership helps your minions hit their targets. Add one to your Contacts skill when using it with the benefits of Minions, Attack!. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * Morale Boost:** (Requires Minions, Attack!) Your inspiring leadership makes your minions attack more enthusiastically. Add two to the weapon rating of your minions. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * Human Wall:** (Requires Minions, Defend!) As long as your minions are around, you're safe. Even in the center of a battlefield. Add two to your Contacts skill when using it with the benefits of Minions, Defend!. (Similar stunts could exist in Presence and Resources.)
 * My Buddy Has One Of Those:** Your friends are very willing to let you borrow whatever you need. You may use your Contacts skill instead of your Resources skill to “buy” things. Everything “bought” this way has the aspect “Not Actually Mine”. The difficulty of an attempt to “buy” something with Contacts may or may not be the same as the difficulty of an attempt to buy that same thing with Resources, at the GM's discretion. The time required may also vary.
 * I'm Looking For Mr Brown:** You are extremely good at tracking people down. When trying to find someone with the Gathering Information trapping of the Contacts skill, add two to your Contacts skill and make the relevant rolls one time increment faster.
 * On The Watch:** (Requires Ear To The Ground) There’s something that you’re on the watch for, and you have a network of people who will tell you if it happens. Pick a topic roughly as broad as “Lawbreaking” or “My Little Pony”. The difficulty of any Getting The Tip-Off roll that you make related to that topic is reduced by four. (This doesn’t stack with Ear To The Ground).
 * Member:** You are a member of an organization. Add two to your Contacts skill when using it to contact other members of that organization. The situations in which this will be useful depend heavily on the organization.
 * Too Cool for School:** All the kids wanna be just like you. Add two to your Contacts skill when dealing with young adults between high school and middle school age.
 * Networking:** Networking is an important skill for a businessman, and you have it. Add two to your Contacts skill when using it in a corporate context.

 * Network of Informants:** You know people who know things about the things that you want to know things about. Pick a subject roughly as broad as “the Red Court” or “academic politics”. Add two to your Contacts skill when using it to Gather Information or Get The Tip Off about that subject.
 * Discreet Investigations:** You are unusually subtle when it comes to gathering information. It isn't obvious when you use the Gathering Information trapping of the Contacts skill; people need to beat your Contacts roll with one of their own to notice it.

= Conviction = 
 * Sermonize:** Your speeches are more about passion than presentation. Add a new trapping called Preaching to your Conviction skill. The Preaching trapping is used to make social attacks, social maneuvers, and public speeches that are related to religious or moral issues.
 * Righteous:** You are nearly unstoppable when you’re doing what’s right. Add two to your Conviction skill when using it with your Righteousness power.*
 * Trust The Leader:** Your faith in your boss, be it the archangel Uriel or Colonel Carrington, is absolute. Pick a being. You may take two additional mild social or mental consequences against attempts to make you think or act against that being.
 * Fire And Brimstone:** Threatening someone's body isn't really your style. You prefer to threaten the soul. You may use your Conviction skill for the Threats trapping of the Intimidation skill when threatening someone with eternal damnation, divine hatred, or some similar fate.
 * Stubborn Faith:** You cling to your beliefs with amazing determination. You may take two additional minor consequences against attempts to make you act directly against the principles of your faith.
 * Shield Of Faith:** Your faith protects you from harm, repelling those evil beings that cannot tolerate its power. You may use your Conviction skill instead of your Athletics skill to defend against attacks from characters that have catches related to faith.
 * Religious Contacts:** You are well loved for your piety. You may use your Conviction skill instead of your Contacts skill when dealing with people who have centered their lives around the same religion as you. (This stunt may be excessively broad in some games. Please be cautious with it.)
 * Shield Of Dogma:** Words are meaningless against your fanatical will. You may use your Conviction skill for the social defense trapping of Rapport.
 * Threshold Guardian:** Your very presence is a shield against the forces of evil. Add three to your Conviction skill when using it in conjunction with the Bless This House power.*
 * Boosted Hexes:** You don’t get along with technology at all. Even compared to other wizards. All technology is treated as though it were two steps lower on the hexing table when determining how easily you can hex it.*

 * Closer To God:** For whatever reason, God guides you just a little more carefully than is normal. Add two to your Conviction skill when using it with your Guide My Hand power.*
 * Lay On Hands:** Faith healing actually works. At least, it does for you. Use your Conviction skill instead of your Scholarship skill for medical treatment.
 * Sunday School:** Being religious means knowing about religion. Use your Conviction skill to determine your religious knowledge.
 * I KNOW I'm Right!:** Your knowledge of the righteousness of your beliefs gives you strength in trying times. You may use your Conviction skill for the Mental Defense trapping of the Discipline skill.
 * Set in My Ways:** You're old. It took you decades to form your beliefs and you're not about to abandon them. Add two to your Conviction skill when using it to resist attempts to change your deeply-held beliefs or your core identity.
 * My Magic Protects Me:** Your faith in your powers keep your foes at bay. Your Magic satisfies the catch for creatures vulnerable to tokens of faith or holy objects (unless they are only susceptible to a particular religion)

= Craftsmanship = 
 * Percussive Maintenance:** Sometimes a malfunctioning gadget just needs a good swift kick. You may spend a fate point to make any repair attempt in one exchange. Treat all such repairs as Jury-Rigged repairs.
 * Do You Like It? I Made It Myself:** A weapon you made yourself is a weapon that you know really well. When you wield weapons that you built yourself, your Craftsmanship skill complements whatever other skill you use to wield that weapon.
 * Personalized Weaponry Engineering:** Clever engineering can compensate for a lack of combat skill. When you take this stunt, pick a broad category of weapon. You may make weapons of this category with the special quality that you may wield them with your Craftsmanship skill. Such weapons will often include odd devices and unusual features that make their use very different from that of a normal weapon.
 * From Another Time:** You are intimately familiar with the technology of a time other than the present. Choose a time period other than the present day. Add two to your Craftsmanship skill when dealing with stuff from that time period.
 * Innovation Trumps Experience:** Teaching yourself sorcery with a background in engineering means not using the “traditional" Crafting methods. The strength ratings of the enchanted items that you create are based off of your Craftsmanship skill.*
 * Bunker Builder:** You know how to make effective fortifications. Given time, you may fortify a zone with your Craftsmanship skill. Your Craftsmanship roll than functions as a block against entry to that zone and ranged attacks into it. The time required to fortify a zone will vary according to GM discretion, as will the duration that fortification lasts for.
 * Bricoleur:** You are skilled at improvising when making, breaking, or repairing something. Add one to your Craftsmanship skill when making Declarations and Assessments in the art of Bricolage ("to make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are at hand (regardless of their original purpose)").
 * Skilled Bricoleur:** (Requires Bricoleur) Your creativity at improvising is unparalleled. You may ignore up to two points of penalties to your Craftsmanship skill due to insufficient tools or materials.
 * Master Bricoleur:** (Requires Skilled Bricoleur) Your skill and resourcefulness are unparalleled. When you engage in the art of Bricolage, your creations are cobbled together one time increment faster than normal and last two time increments longer than they would otherwise.

 * Scavenger:** There is an art to making things quickly out of cannibalized parts. You find it easy, because the people who made the thing you took apart did most of the work. If as part of a Craftsmanship roll made to build or fix something you take apart an object that contains parts appropriate to the thing you are building or fixing, you may make that Craftsmanship roll two time increments faster.
 * Sneaky Bastard:** You are an expert in the subtle art of booby-trapping an area. If given time to prepare a location, you may create traps in that location. When in an area that you have booby-trapped, you may make physical attacks with your Craftsmanship skill. The weapon ratings and ranges of these attacks depend upon the traps used to make them. The time required to set a trap and the time that they last for will vary based on GM discretion.
 * Locksmith:** If you can take apart a clock, you can take apart a lock. You may use your Craftsmanship skill for the Lockpicking trapping of the Burglary skill.

= Deceit =

 * Superior Feint:** (Requires Feint) They thought they had you, but they thought wrong. You may use your Deceit skill for the Dodging trapping of the Athletics skill against the physical attacks of characters who have aspects that you placed on them with a Deceit maneuver that benefited from the Feint stunt.
 * Data Manipulation:** It's easy to fool someone when you have graphs to back you up. In your hands, charts and graphs are weapon 2 for Deceit attacks. There must be some sort of connection between the chart or graph and the attack, but it need not be a solid one.
 * One Big Lie:** Tell a lie long enough and you begin to believe it. Pick a statement that isn't true. Add two to your Deceit skill when using it to convince someone that that statement is true. Reduce the bonus provided by this stunt to one when it applies to a social or mental attack.
 * Shield of Lies:** Your lies run so deep that you almost believe them yourself. You may use your Deceit skill instead of your Presence skill to determine the length of your social stress track.

 * Illusion Of Grandeur:** Making a good first impression is all about misrepresenting yourself. You may use your Deceit skill for the First Impressions trapping of the Rapport skill.

 * Mind of Steel:** Magical mental influence is useless against your fortress-like mind! Add two to your Discipline skill when using it to defend against supernatural mental attacks.

Instead, you add five to your Discipline defence roll against the mental effect.
 * Hunger Control:** Through rigorous self-denial you have conquered your bestial needs. Mostly. Add two to your Discipline skill when using it to resist hunger and the temptation to feed.

 * Gunner:** You’re a former military man with the training to use vehicle weaponry. You may use your Driving skill to wield vehicle-mounted weaponry.

 * Tough as Nails:** You don’t seem to feel pain the way normal people do. When an opponent tags or invokes one of your consequences when attacking you in a physical conflict they only receive +1 to their roll.

If you do so, roll your Endurance skill and gain armour against that attack equal to the result. Armour from this stunt stacks with all other forms of armour.
 * The King Still Stands:** You are the king! An army of commoners is nothing more than fodder for your sword to cut down. When fighting against multiple opponents on your own, you may take two additional mild physical consequences.

= Fists =

All of your attacks with Fists inflict X additional stress, where X is the level of the worst consequence that you have inflicted on the target this scene. (A similar stunt could exist in Guns or in Weapons.)

On a successful close-combat defence with Fists, you may sacrifice your next action and invoke one of the attacker's aspects in order to turn that defence into an immediate grapple against the attacker with a strength equal to your defence roll. This grapple does not need to be renewed until you act again.
 * Ground and Pound:** (Requires Nasty Infighter/Mixed Martial Artist) You are a master at inflicting damage to your opponent in a grapple. Add one to the stress you inflict when taking a supplemental action to hurt someone that you've grappled. (A similar stunt could exist in Might, without the prerequisite.)

 * Potent Poison:** The poison produced by your body is exceptionally powerful. Add one to your Fists skill for any use of the Venomous trapping of the Claws power.*

 * Weapon Focus:** You've trained to use a specific type of weapon. Choose a type of weapon. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to attack with that type of weapon.
 * Weapon Specialization:** You know how to attack effectively with a specific type of weapon. Choose a type of weapon. Your attacks with that type of weapon inflict two additional stress.
 * Weapon Mastery:** It's easier to defend yourself when you are using your weapon of choice. Pick a type of weapon. When using that type of weapon to make a defence roll, add two to your Weapons skill.
 * Tie 'Em Up:** It's actually quite possible to tie a guy up in the middle of a knife fight. It just requires a little bit of skill. As long as you have a lasso, a fighting chain, a set of bolas, or some similar weapon, you may use your Weapons skill to maneuver and grapple against targets up to one zone away. (A similar stunt could exist in Might.)
 * Master Of Restraints:** (Requires Tie 'Em Up) You are very good at restraining people with weapons. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it with your Tie 'Em Up stunt. (A similar stunt could exist in Might.)
 * Backstab:** You aren’t so much a warrior as an assassin. Once per scene, when ambushing someone, you may spend a Fate Point to inflict four additional stress on a successful attack. This stacks with all other damage-increasing stunts.
 * Hidden Weapons:** Your knowledge of weapons helps you conceal them. You may use your Weapons skill to conceal weaponry.
 * Twist the Knife:** You know how to exploit the wounds of your opponents. Add one to your Weapons skill when tagging or invoking one of a character's consequences to benefit a Weapons attack against that character.
 * Defeat Armour:** You are a master of finding weak spots in a coat of armour. All of your attacks with the Weapons skill ignore two points worth of worn armour.
 * Mounted Combat:** You know how to fight from atop a horse. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to attack while riding an animal.
 * Power Attack:** You put all your strength into an attack, increasing power at the expense of precision. You may take a -1 penalty to an attack roll before rolling to increase the stress inflicted by that attack by 3.
 * Shield Carrier:** You know how to use a shield. Add one to your physical armour score as long as you are carrying a shield.
 * Phalanx Fighting:** (Requires Shield Carrier) You know how to use a shield in a formation. Whenever you take a full defence action while carrying a shield, you may select two other characters in the same zone as you who have this stunt. Increase each of their physical armour scores by one until your next turn.
 * Quick Draw:** You can draw and use a weapon in a single motion. You take no penalty when drawing a weapon as a supplemental action (page YS:213); if you're in a race to see who draws first, or anything else having to do with your speed or ability to draw, gain a +1 on the roll.
 * Iaijutsu:** (Requires Quick Draw) You are trained in iaijutsu, the art of drawing a sword. The first attack you make with a sword each scene inflicts two additional stress. Furthermore, you may add one to your Weapons skill when making it.
 * Bows Are Weapons:** They totally are. You may use your Weapons skill to wield bows, including crossbows.
 * Legendary Archer:** (Requires Bows Are Weapons) Bows are not just weapons, they're your weapons of choice. When wielding a bow or crossbow with your Weapons skill, increase the range of that weapon by two zones.
 * Warrior Culture:** There’s a certain fellowship among those who fight for a living. You may use your Weapons skill in place of your Contacts skill when dealing with other warriors. Anyone for whom combat is the centre of life is a warrior as far this stunt is concerned.
 * Know Your Blades:** As a result of advanced training you are able to recognize many styles of combat, using Weapons as a knowledge and perception skill focused on fighting. This enables you to make assessments and declarations related to fighting styles, historical fights, and the culture surrounding fights using your Weapons skill. Such rolls are made at +1.
 * Enchanted Item Master:** Using magical weapons is slightly different from using normal ones, and for you it's much easier. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to attack with an enchanted item.
 * War Leader:** A unit of soldiers is a weapon like any other. You may use your Weapons skill plus one for the Command trapping of the Presence skill when leading people in combat. For the purposes of this stunt, trained soldiers are always treated as though they were involved in combat.
 * Lead From The Front:** Your subordinates bring out the best in you. Pick a group of people. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to attack while commanding those people in combat.
 * Combat Sense:** You have learned to compensate for a loss of sight in battle. You may ignore up to two shifts worth of vision-based penalties to your Weapons rolls. In games which do not model impaired vision by penalizing rolls, this stunt is inappropriate and should not be taken.
 * Zatoichi:** Your non-vision-based methods of fighting are very useful in situations where everyone is blind. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to attack an opponent who cannot see clearly.
 * My Weapon Speaks For Me:** A guy with a weapon and the skill to use it is always scary, even if he's got no charisma at all. You may use your Weapons skill instead of your Intimidation skill when threatening someone with a weapon.
 * Mirror Stance:** Your unusual fighting style lets you defend effortlessly when you are using a weapon similar to that of your opponent. When you are attacked with a weapon of the same type that you are wielding yourself, you may inflict a -2 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so, you must defend against the attack using your Weapons skill.
 * Reflection Shatters the Mirror:** Your unusual fighting style makes your attacks hard to defend against when you are using a weapon similar to that of your opponent. When you make an attack with your Weapons skill against a target who is wielding a weapon of the same type as you, that target takes a -1 penalty to their defence roll.
 * Two-Handed Training:** Two hands > one hand. Attacks that you make with your Weapons skill using a two-handed weapon held in both of your hands inflict two additional stress.
 * Focused Strike:** Even in the chaos of the battlefield, you place your strikes with care. Add two to your Weapons skill when using it to make an aim-based maneuver.
 * Jump Attack:** (Requires Fight By Jumping) It's not easy to attack as you land a jump, but you're pretty good at it. Add one to your Weapons skill when using it to make an attack in which an aspect created through Fight By Jumping is tagged.
 * Gravity Helps:** (Requires Fight By Jumping) It stands to reason that an attack with the weight of a falling body behind it will deal more damage than one made on the ground. When you tag an aspect created through Fight By Jumping to boost a Weapons attack, that attack inflicts two additional stress.
 * Perfect Parry:** You are a master of not attacking anyone in a fight. Add two to your Weapons defence rolls when taking a full defence action. This stacks with the normal benefits provided by full defence.
 * Precision Strike:** You know where to hit, and how to make it count. When you successfully perform a maneuver with your Weapons skill, the resulting aspect is automatically sticky. In addition, the difficulty of any attempt to remove the resulting aspect is increased by two.
 * Master's Bladework:** Your swordsmanship is truly a thing of beauty. Add two to your Weapons skill when using it to perform a maneuver related to your sword work.
 * Follow-Through Cut:** You cut down lesser warriors the way a scythe cuts wheat. Whenever you take an enemy out with a melee attack using your Weapons skill, you may use your overflow shifts to create an additional attack with the same weapon against another enemy in the same zone. (A similar stunt could exist in Fists.)
 * O-Chiburi:** When you get blood on your blade, you flick it off with a very intimidating-looking technique. When you inflict stress with an attack using the Weapons skill, you may sacrifice your next action to turn your attack roll into an automatically-successful maneuver related to fear or awe or looking really badass. (A similar stunt could exist in Fists or Guns.)
 * Blade-Breaking Force:** You hit so hard that your weapons break. When you attack with the Weapons skill you may choose to add three to your attack's weapon rating. If you do so, and your attack hits, the weapon that the attack was made with is destroyed.
 * Defender:** You watch over not only yourself but others. Allies in your zone may take a supplemental action to hide behind you. If you take a supplemental action to protect your allies, they may use your Weapons skill to defend against melee attacks that exchange. You may take a single supplemental action each exchange to protect up to two allies. Both you and your allies may take these supplemental actions in response to an incoming attack, as long as you have not yet acted during that exchange.
 * The Wardens Way:** You have trained many months and fought many battles with your blade. Gain a +2 to your weapons skill when using your Wardens Sword.
 * Awkward in my** **Hand:** (reverse stunt, __//gives you back//__ one refresh) You're not that great with using unfamiliar weapons. Take a -2 penalty to your Weapons skill when using a kind of weapon you haven't already declared you are trained with (If you generally fight with your sword, you're not going to be that great with a chain mace).
