USING FATE POINTS - Spending a Fate Point is always treated as a free action.

• Re-roll any test, including the GM’s, whether or not the test failed or succeeded. This is done after dice are
rolled. The results of the second roll are final—an additional Fate Point cannot be spent to re-roll again.
• After inflicting Damage on a target, re-roll all dice used to determine that amount of damage. The results of
the second roll are final—an additional Fate Point cannot be spent to re-roll again.
• Gain a +10 bonus to a test. This must be chosen before dice are rolled.
• Count as rolling a 10 for Initiative. The Fate Point can be spent after Initiative has been rolled normally.
• Add two degrees of success to a test. The Fate Point must be spent immediately after rolling the test.
• Instantly remove an amount of Damage equal to the Throne Agent’s Toughness Bonus. This cannot affect
Critical Damage. The Fate Point must be spent at the beginning of the Throne Agent’s Turn.
• Immediately recover from being Stunned and remove all levels of Fatigue. The Fate Point must be spent at
the beginning of the Throne Agent’s Turn.

BURNING FATE POINTS – Permanently reduces your Fate Points by 1.

• Character survives whatever it was that would have killed them – but only just.
• Avoid losing a limb, getting Corruption Points, a mutation, Insanity Points, or an insanity. These are popular
but unofficial options, so ask the GM.
