What breaks if I let a [Powerful] Harbinger or Giant take a 'destiny move' that lets them have more than 1 bond with people, to represent them growing close to the masses and mere mortals as they've gone on their adventures? I'm seriously asking, because I don't know if something means this is a terrible idea.

I figured. I just didn't know if there was anything beyond that to keep them limited. Thanks for the quick answer.

So uh, is the Final Form's advance to increase blood to +3 supposed to be worded that way? Because as it is now, it's a destiny advance that can let someone with -1 blood become +3 blood, as long as they've made fellowship with a Dragon.

So this is a question for Gnome7, but anyone can answer if they have one: There is a Giant in a game, who wants to throw scenery, people, etc, as a weapon. However, we have no Dragon to get the move that allows them to, you know, do that. At the same time, I feel likt it's entirely within the character's capability to pick up and throw someone at someone else. Do I just allow it, or do I disallow it, because it exists as a move in another playbook?

gnome7 posted:Did you miss that that is also a Giant move? Because its one of their core moves they get for free. For some reason I only ever looked at that as 'throwing allies around', because I've only ever seen it used for that. I didn't even think about enemies or scenery.

So the thing is, the races have to be a little restricted by nature of what playbooks mean. The Elf can't be from a warlike society of warriors, and has to be some form of nature loving amazing great magical beings, because that's what keeps the Elf from just being a second Orc. This is for a reason, in that the game is built to be played with only different playbooks (unlike some PbtA that do say you can double up on playbooks if it's desired), in order to create a dynamic where everyone is obviously from very disparate societies, that don't share much at all in common, forcing the Fellowship to come together despite their differences. You can easily rename The Orc into "The Warrior Race", the Elf into "The Nature Race" etc, because that's more the role they fill, to create a variety of racial sterotypes that are at ends with each other.
