Starting Moves
Pick one move from your other Playbook, and one from the following list. You may not start with moves from your other Playbook that increase your stats, but may gain them during play.
Rookie Moves
Beginner’s Luck
When you roll an 11 or 12 on the dice, before any modifiers, you action is extra successful. The GM will give you a better option, a fringe benefit, or increased potency.
Getting the Hang of This
You no longer take -1 to using your Jurisdictional moves.
Helping Hand
When you try to help someone who’s rolling, roll +Savvy. On a 7-9, add +1 to their roll. On a 10+, add +2. On any result, you expose yourself to any consequences of their action, and on a fail, your failure effects them too, somehow.

At the end of each Case, choose an additional character who helped you with that case. You gain +1 History with them, and they gain +1 History with you.
Versatile
Gain +1 to any stat (Maximum +2)
