If there is still time to change the text, Defend

When you defend someone or something from an immediate threat, roll + Savior. For NPC threats: on a hit, you keep them safe and choose one. On a 7-9, it costs you: expose yourself to danger or escalate the situation.

• add a Team to the pool

• take Influence over someone you protect

• clear a condition

For PC threats: on a hit, give them -2 to their roll. On a 7-9, you expose yourself to cost, retribution, or judgment.

I’d add “GM’s choice”, like “you expose yourself to cost, retribution, or judgment (GM’s choice)”, since the wording is the same against PC and NPC (expose yourself), but in the former is player’s choice, in the latter GM’s.
