Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Perfect Setup
You're fighting at least three foes and each one is standing in exactly the right spot for you to use a move you trained in long ago, allowing you to attack all three as a single action. Make a separate attack roll for each foe. You remain limited by the amount of Effort you can apply on one action.
Old Friend
A comrade in arms from your past shows up unexpectedly and provides aid in whatever you're doing. They are on a mission of their own and can't stay longer than it takes to help out, chat for a while after, and perhaps share a quick meal.
Weapon Break
Your foe's weapon has a weak spot. In the course of the combat, it quickly becomes damaged and moves two steps down the object damage track.
Resilient
+1 to Armor.
Granted from Tough
Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
The object malfunctions, breaks, or suffers catastrophic or unexpected failure.

", "description": "Background:
A Knight is also known as a Warrior
Knight
You're a good ally to have in a fight. You know how to use weapons and defend yourself. Depending on the genre and setting in question, this might mean wielding a sword and shield in the gladiatorial arena, an AK-47 and a bandolier of grenades in a savage firefight, or a blaster rifle and powered armor when exploring an alien planet. Warriors are physical, action-oriented people. They're more likely to overcome a challenge using force than by other means, and they often take the most straightforward path toward their goals.
Tough
You're strong and can take a lot of physical punishment. You might have a large frame and a square jaw. Tough characters frequently have visible scars.
Crafts Unique Objects
You're an inventor of strange and useful objects.
Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- You're acting as a bodyguard for one of the other PCs.
- One of the PCs is your sibling, and you came along to watch out for them.
- You need money because your family is in debt.
- You stepped in to defend one of the PCs when that character was threatened. While talking to them afterward, you heard about the group's task.
Background Connection:
You spent time on the streets and were in prison for a while.
Focus Connection:
Pick one other PC. Something about them interferes with your abilities. When they stand next to you, your focus abilities cost 1 additional point.
Add 1 to the points you regain when you make a recovery roll.

An area within immediate range of the user becomes secure against any effect outside the area that sees, hears, or otherwise senses what occurs inside. To outside observers, the area is a \"blur\" to any sense applied. Taps, scrying sensors, and other direct surveillance methods are also rendered inoperative within the area for a day.
