Bonds:

It says that to calculate your bond threshold, you add the number of other PC to the number of points you get for how well you fit in. (Page 89). It also says you automatically take a bond with both “The City” and “Law Enforcement”. Does that mean you automatically get 1 point in each, or do you have to spend from your remaining points to have any?

Drive books:

When you choose one at character creation, is it automatically “opened”, or do you have to act in the fiction to open it?

Can you “work towards” more than one at a time?

Is there a limit to the number of drives a character can have? (Character sheet only has spaces for 2.)

So, when making a “Take Down” move using a ranged weapon (Bow and Arrow) or power (lightning bolt), would you still use Smash, or would Maneuver be more appropriate?

Ok , just got the book and am digging the system. I just have one question, though. In regards to the difficulty levels on the power profile. Does doing something on the on your profile happen automatically, or is a move needed? This is mainly referring to tasks listed under “simple”.

Example: your hero whom we will call “Ironclad” has “Super strength, impervious skin, and enhanced leaping” on his powers summary. On his Powers Profile under simple, he has “shrug off bullets.”

Scene: Some armed thugs with machine guns begin to fire at a lone bank guard who’s revolver just ran out of ammo. Ironclad immediately leaps between them, triggering “serve and protect”. He rolls an 8 total and spends his 1 hold immediately to redirect the attack to himself. Now, would the EIC just “follow the fiction” and narrate the bullets bouncing off him, or would he have to roll “defy danger”. (Maybe to see if a bullet ricochets off him and hits a bystander.)?
