CROSSED STARS

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: One character
Clash: Cunning + Legend vs. Resolve + Legend
Range: Medium
Action: Simple
You choose a character within medium range and curse one of their relationships, dooming it to mishap and peril. Any action taken to support, bolster, or draw upon that relationship suffers a +3 Complication, as Fate conspires to separate family, lovers, and business partners alike, calling them off to unexpected emergencies or twisting their words to create a seed of doubt. You needn’t know the exact details of a relationship when cursing it, only that it exists — “Steve and whoever he’s dating” works, as does “Steve and whoever’s paying for his new car.” Against trivial characters, this Boon is free.

• Lover Specific: Tying the Red String: When used on a character’s romantic relationships, you may bless them instead, granting +2 Enhancement on any action where the couple work together and support one another.
