Faery's Tale Deluxe - Etud

— One of the Fey —
— 28 —
The Gifts of the fey are numerous and varied,
making every faery unique. Some provide
bonuses on rolls to overcome challenges,
others bypass rolls altogether to guarantee
success at a feat, and still others allow faeries
to access amazing powers.
Acrobat 2 points
Your faery can leap, tumble, roll, and perform
other acrobatic tricks.
Effortless acrobatics, such as turning a
cartwheel, balancing on a narrow branch, or
rolling to your feet after being knocked down,
cost your faery no Essence. Demanding feats,
such as balancing on a high wire or somersaulting
over a charging enemy, cost 1 Essence. Difficult
feats, such as climbing by bouncing from wall to
wall, rolling out from a long fall to avoid being
hurt, or using acrobatics to dodge all attacks for
one turn, cost 2 Essence.
Example
NARRATOR: The nasty redcap says, “Ah, my
old friend Flynn. I’d love to fight you, but I’m
busy just now. Too bad you didn’t notice you’re
standing on a trap door!” He pulls a lever, and
the floor drops out beneath your sprite’s feet. You
can make a Body roll to avoid being hurt by the
fall, but it’s a Tricky challenge.
ZACH: Wait! Flynn has the Gift of Acrobat, so
unless it’s a very long fall he automatically rolls
out of it unhurt.
NARRATOR: You’re right, I forgot. Good catch.
ZACH: I have another idea, though. Can Flynn
spend 1 Essence to flip backward off the trap
door as it’s opening under him?
NARRATOR: That would be really cool. OK,
give me the Essence, and that’s what happens.
The surprised redcap gasps, “What? You escaped
my trap! Goblin guards, get him!”
Agile 1 point
Your faery is known for her swift reactions,
dexterity, coordination, and fleetness of foot.
Add +2 to your faery’s Body score when
resolving tests of agility.
Example
IAN: I’m going to try to pick the lock to this cage
before the sorceress comes back. Gimlock, my
