Cynic Moves

□ Lucky Bastard: At the beginning of a session, roll +Cool. On 10+, +3Hold, on 7-9, +1Hold. Spend one Hold to:

• Take +0Harm from an attack
• Succeed on a move with 10+

□ (XP) You've got to be fucking kidding me: If you refuse to do something beneficial to yourself or all survivors mark XP. If this puts somebody into danger, they also mark XP.

□ Hottie: Yes, you're hot. You gain the Advantage every time you try to manipulate someone when you make use of your seductive skills.

□ Yes, that's sarcasm: No matter how bad it is, you make fun of it. If someone tries to manipulate you, roll +Cool.
▲ On 10+, he fails and he looses -1Trust from another survivor of your choice,
◀ on 7-9, he may succeed, but you gain +1Trust from him.
▼ On a miss, he succeeds without having to roll himself.

□ What? I learned that at Clown College: When you come up with a very out-of-the-box solution to a problem, roll +Bright.
▲ On 10+, everyone following your plan gets an Ongoing Advantage,
◀ on 7-9 you get an Ongoing advantage.
▼ On a miss, choose one other survivor that trusts you. He now thinks you're a complete idiot and you loose -1Trust from him.

□ (XP) Been gutted before: If someone betrays you, mark XP.

□ Not all is lost: If you help someone, you'll have the Advantage on your next move.

□ Five minutes of fame: If some cries for help and you give aid, he automatically succeeds as like he rolled 10+. You act at an Ongoing Disadvantage afterwards until you gain or loose the Trust of somebody.
