If you are…   In pursuit, fleeing, dodging, getting back into position, or taking cover: Roll +edge Remaining stalwart against fear or temptation: Roll +heart Blocking or diverting with force, or taking the hit: Roll +iron Moving into hiding or creating a distraction: Roll +shadow Changing the plan, finding a way out, or cleverly bypassing an obstacle: Roll +wits*   With Wits [Weak Hit: 2 + 3 + 0 = 5 vs 4 | 6] (extend the shields)   On a weak hit, you avoid the worst of the danger or overcome the obstacle, but not without a cost. Make a suffer move (-1). You stay in a bad spot. (hull under pressure and all three squid close in)   Withstand Damage: When your vehicle faces a damaging situation or environment, suffer -1 integrity for minor damage, -2 for serious damage, or -3 for major damage. If your integrity is 0, Lose Momentum equal to any remaining damage.   Then, if your integrity is 0 or you choose to resist the damage, roll +integrity.   [Strong Hit: 5 + 5 + 1 = 10 vs 2 | 9] Shields repel damage   On a strong hit, choose one.   Bypass: If your vehicle is not battered, take +1 integrity* Ride it out: Take +1 momentum   Clash: When you are in a bad spot and fight back against a foe at close quarters, roll +iron*; when you exchange fire at a distance, roll +edge.   [Strong Hit: 5 + 1 + 0 = 6 vs 5 | 3]   On a strong hit, mark progress twice. You overwhelm your foe and are in control. (approach vents, charge shields with arcanicity, zap!)   Gain Ground: When you are in control and take action in a fight to reinforce your position or move toward an objective, envision your approach and roll. If you are…   In pursuit, fleeing, or maneuvering: Roll +edge*   [Weak Hit: 5 + 1 + 0 = 6 vs 5 | 8]   On a hit, you stay in control. On a weak hit, choose one.   Mark progress* (8 progress) Take +2 momentum Add +1 on your next move (not a progress move)   (Into vents: ironside Doomspire)   Take Decisive Action: When you seize an objective in a fight, envision how you take decisive action. Then, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress.   If you are in control, check the result as normal. If you are in a bad spot, count a strong hit without a match as a weak hit, and a weak hit as a miss.   [Progress Roll: Escaping the Skysquid: Strong Hit = 8 vs 4 | 3]  9 momentum   On a strong hit, you prevail. Take +1 momentum.    Escaping the Sky Squid complete   Journey to Conflict: one box filled (3/10)   Vow: 2 ticks on Disrupt Armada at Conflict (.5/10)   Technomancy  When you immerse yourself in arcane technology, roll +wits.    [Weak Hit: 3 + 3 + 0 = 6 vs 2 | 10]   Strong hit : Add the value of the action die to your arcanicity track. You may Secure an Advantage or Face danger +arcanicity to create minor magitech effects. If you do, suffer -1 arcanicity, and take +1 momentum on a hit.  Weak Hit: as above, but it's exhausting.
