Scarecrow

An animated scarecrow is a common beast in the cornfields of America. Standing as tall as a man and armed with a scythe, scarecrows are solitary monsters. During the day a scarecrow stands still, never betraying that it is an evil creature.

Special Ability: Fear (5).
Scarecrows can cause fear in humans. In place of an attack a scarecrow can choose to cause fear. This is an opposed action (the Scarecrow’s Special Ability vs. a single target’s Thinking). If the action succeeds the target loses two turns. Some gamemasters may wish to adapt the scarecrow’s fear ability to better fit with the optional fear check rules (see p. 51). Way too complicated for my tastes.

Blinking
Faster-than-light travel in [Nom du jeu] is accomplished by a mystical practice called Blinking, more formally Blood Ink Teleportation. A small percentage of the human population throughout the galaxy has the Blood Ink Mutation, imbuing their blood with occult power. Given the proper training and conditioning, those with the Blood Ink mutation can mix their blood into ink which, when used to print star maps, teleports the printing press to the exact location depicted on the star chart.

PLAYING THE GAME
[Nom du jeu] takes its players on adventures investigating mysteries, exploring new worlds, and surviving multitudes of dangers. The core mechanic the players use to move forward in adventures and navigate danger is the Skill Check.

![THE CORE MECHANIC – SKILL CHECKS]!
‣ Skill Checks represent characters attempting to perform complex and dangerous tasks.
‣ Skill Checks should only be called when characters attempt to do something that is not obviously feasible – most actions do not require Skill Checks.
‣ There must be a valid role-playing reason why a character could Succeed on a Skill Check they attempt – characters cannot succeed Skill Checks to the perform actions that are obviously impossible.
‣ Skill Checks simulate stress, frustration, and exhaustion: players may spend Skill Points to modify the results of Skill Checks, but this will make future Skill Checks more difficult.
‣ Every Skill Check is a role-playing opportunity. Spending Skill Points entails an immense mental, physical, or spiritual strain.
