Conditions from the First Session
Arcane Link: Kaziim
The universe .now considers Tanuki's character and Kaziim's character to be almost one being. This means that any magical (in the broad sense) effects that affect one also affect the other, at half-strength. This includes any sort of spell, psionic manifestation, supernatural ability, the effects of Taint, et cetera. If there is a numerical effect (damage, healing, bonuses to stats, et cetera), the other PC is effected by half the amount. For example, if Kaziim is hit by a fireball for 36 damage, Tanuki's character would take 18 damage. In these instances, the second character is not allowed a separate saving throw. If there is no numerical effect, but there is a saving throw, then the second character gets a saving throw at the same DC minus 5. Tanuki's character is considered to have a Taint score equal to half of Kaziim's. Any other effects must be adjudicated on the fly.
Resolution: The link is somehow broken, magically.
Beat: You receive a negative effect through the link.
I See You
Tanuki's character understands Yohatanapela now. He can shed this Condition to gain a one-time automatic critical success on the next roll to influence or otherwise take advantage of him. Until he does so, any stunts making use of this Condition have their bonuses doubled.
Resolution: Tanuki's character uses his understanding to manipulate Yohatanapela; the Condition is resolved as above.
Beat: n/a.
Trained in Tainted Magic
Kaziim now has the Taint, starting at a Taint score of 3. He also now knows the spells preserve organ (0-level), bestow wound, and seething eyebane. While he has this Condition, his caster level for the purposes of all Tainted spells is increased by 1. He might also find opportunities in the campaign to learn other Tainted spells as well.
Resolution: Remove the Taint. I'll give you one possibly useful, possibly useless, possibly obvious hint: the Haeno are the culture most accustomed to dealing with the Taint; the Aprashami are a distant second and no one else has any direct experience of it, as far as you know.
Beat: Kaziim's Taint modifier and/or Control Tier increases. Also, whenever he goes through (pass or fail) one of the Punishments of the Taint.
