Teasing a thing Paul and I are working on...
When you bond with a fellow soldier, tell them to increase their bond score with you by +1. If this raises the bond to +4, they reset to +1 and mark experience.

When you see a fellow soldier suffer harm past 9:00, roll+bond. On a 10+, you rush to help them right now, no matter what. On a 7-9, you’re badly shaken. If you do anything but rush to their aid, you’re acting under fire. On a miss, you’re in control. If you rush to help them anyway, mark xp.

When you assist another soldier, roll+bond. On a hit, you help them. They take +1 forward. On a 7-9, you also expose yourself to danger, fire, retribution, or cost.


Like I don't have enough stuff simmering around here.

Some Slang (from actual play)

Keelside: The bottom of a ship. Also, generally, "below." Slang: Feeling poorly due to excess of drink or difficult circumstances. "After that night at the Silver Eel, I was keelside for a week!"

Shacklin': Vulgarity. "There's a shacklin' hole in the side of the ship!"

Juvven: Vulgarity. "Shut your juvven mouth!" Possibly related to Jove, an ancient diety, whose name is also used as an exclamation.

Grudding: Vulgarity. "The whole grudding fleet will be hunting us."
