Priyanshi Patel & Tanvi Patel - The Experts

Priyanshi Patel - The Expert / Shared With Tanvi Patel

Appearance - Priyanshi is short, at just under five foot, with a soft untoned body and b-cup breasts. Her long black hair, typically worn in a braided ponytail, and amber eyes complement her light brown skin. Tanvi is taller and skinnier than her daughter and has aged very gracefully.

Charm (-1), Cool (0), Sharp (+2), Tough (-1), Weird (+2)

Moves - I’ve Read About This Sort Of Thing: Roll +Sharp instead of +Cool when you act under pressure. - Preparedness: When you need something unusual or rare, roll +Sharp. On a 10+, you have it here right now. On a 7-9 you have it, but not here: it will take some time to get it. On a miss, you know where it is, but it’s somewhere real bad.

Haven - Lore Library: When you hit the books, take +1 forward to investigate the mystery (as long as historical or reference works are appropriate). - Armory: You have a stockpile of mystical and rare monster-killing weapons and items. If you need a special weapon, roll +Weird. On a 10+ you have it (and plenty if that matters). On a 7-9 you have it, but only the minimum. On a miss, you’ve got the wrong thing. - Infirmary: You can heal people, and have the space for one or two to recuperate. The Keeper will tell you how long any patient’s recovery is likely to take, and if you need extra supplies or help.

Monster-slaying Weapons: Mallet & wooden stakes (3-harm intimate slow wooden) + Cold iron sword (2-harm hand messy iron) + Flamethrower (3-harm close fire heavy volatile)

Luck - 0/7

You can mark off a Luck box to either change a roll you just made to a 12, as if you had rolled that; or change a wound you have just taken to count as 0-harm, no matter how bad it was. If your Luck boxes all get filled, you’ve run out of good luck. Expert Special: When you spend a Luck, you’ll discover something happening now is related to something you were involved in years ago. Maybe it’s directly due to your actions, or maybe someone else is dabbling in the same area.

Harm - 0/7

When you suffer harm, mark off the number of boxes equal to harm suffered. When you reach four harm, tick “Unstable.”

Experience - 1/5

Whenever you roll and get a total of 6 or less, or when a move tells you to, mark an experience box. When you have filled all five experience boxes, you level up.

Extras: Priyanshi, effectively, shares a character sheet with her mother, Tanvi, who fills the role of "base commander" and is the primary source of experience and lore.

This was my first dramatic departure from the Monster Of The Week ruleset, since I felt that none of the playbooks really fit Priyanshi, so I decided that she and her mother would effectively share a character sheet. Also, I've decided to include an appearance section from now on, when I post character sheets, since I can't be sure how long it will take before I get an opportunity to give any specific character a strong description within the narrative.
