So I feel bad, like I missed something. In a forgotten alley way The wolf, specter and tainted are cornered by Owl Court assassins. The tainted changes form and holds the rear against the Owl leader and two assassins, the wolf & spectre team up at the other end of the alley. I treated the Owls like a gang vs the tainted (3 vs 1). AND when he targets the leader I made him Keep your cool to avoid attacks from the other two members. I felt bad because he spent advances to get a +3 Blood (using the One Shot rules from CRB) and he was rolling hot…10+
but taking punishment from missing those Keep your cool checks.
Did I screw that up?
Nope. That’s how you run it. Blood will blow through baddies, but it’s Spirit that makes you cool as a cucumber.
Great! He bought the wolf & specter time – but it was costly!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the one shot advice about the extra advances. My two Urban Shadow sessions at my local games day were brutal.
