Forbidden Lands Players Handbook

PATH OF THE KILLER
Battles are not always fought in the open and
with steel clashing against steel. Another, less
heroic type of fight takes place in the shadows,
with hidden weapons and unsuspecting victims.
✥✥
RANK 1: When you succeed with a SNEAK
ATTACK (see page 90), you can spend Willpower
Points to increase damage. Every
WP you spend increases damage by 1.
✥✥
RANK 2: By spending a WP, you can slither
your way out of any restraints or push
yourself through the smallest of openings,
down to a few inches wide.
✥✥
RANK 3: You can make others do your job
for you through the power of hypnosis.
By spending a WP, you can force your
opponent to perform a specific action at a
time of your choosing. However, you must
speak to your opponent for a short time
before you can use this talent.
PATH OF POISON
You always carry an assortment of poisons.
Your collection counts as one TINY item and
doesn’t encumber you.
✥✥
RANK 1: By spending a Willpower Point,
you can pull out one dose of lethal poison
✥✥
✥✥
(see page 113) with a Potency equal to the
number of WP you spend multiplied by 3.
RANK 2: As per rank 1, but you can also
choose another kind of poison. See the
examples on page 113.
RANK 3: As per rank 2, but you can also
choose to have the poison already applied
to one of your weapons, for example, right
before an attack (see page 114). Using this
talent does not count as an action.
COMMENT: If you lose your collection of poisons,
you must get a new one before you can use
this talent again. This requires a visit to a trading
post of some kind and that you spend a WP
and 2D6 silver.
