Finesse: 3
Resolve: 2
Wits: 3
Panache: 2

Arcana:

Virtue (The Witch): Intuitive

Activate your Virtue to ask the GM one yes or no question about an NPC. The GM must answer honestly and should be generous—for example, if there is a qualifier, he should tell you and explain more fully.

Hubris (The Tower: Arrogant

You receive a Hero Point when your Hero shows disdain, contempt, or otherwise looks down on a Villain or someone who could cause harm to friends.

Backgrounds:

Mousquetaire (Musketeer): Earn a Hero Point when you take a serious injury to protect your comrades or King.

Spy: Earn a Hero Point when you take a great risk to uncover a secret.

Aim: 2
Athletics: 2
Empathy: 1

Intimidate: 1
Notice: 2
Ride: 2
Tempt: 3
Theft: 1
Weaponry: 3

Advantages: 

Camaraderie: Whenever you spend a Hero Point to aid an ally, they gain four dice instead of three.

Eagle Eyes: As long as you have a clear line of sight, you can see perfectly out to a distance of one mile. If you use a spyglass you can even pick out fine details, such as the inscription carved into a wedding band. If you make a Risk that relies heavily on your keen vision, you gain 1 Bonus Die.

Joie de Vivre: Just before a confrontation with a Villain occurs, spend a Hero Point and make some sort of pithy or clever comment about how “When things look darkest, that’s when souls shine brightest.” Each Hero—that hears the speech—counts all dice that roll equal to or under his Skill on his next roll as 10s.

Opportunist: When another Hero spends a Raise to create an Opportunity, you can spend a Hero Point to immediately activate the Opportunity for yourself.

Poison Immunity: Poison never affects you, aside from some potential mild discomfort. If the poison would ordinarily kill you, it might cause you only to vomit instead, but there are no additional effects.

Quick Reflexes (Weaponry): You always take actions as if you had an additional Raise to spend when you use this Skill.

Duelist Academy: You studied at the Valroux academy thanks to the influence of your Musketeer patron.

Style Bonus: Valroux Press

When you wield a fencing sword in your right hand and a dagger in the left, you can perform a special Maneuver called Valroux Cross. Valroux Cross prevents Wounds equal to your Weaponry, and you choose a Maneuver you know your opponent can perform on her next

Action. Performing any other Maneuver costs your opponent an additional Raise. You can only perform Valroux Cross once per Round, immediately following

the Maneuver that caused your Wounds.

Legendary Trait (Finesse): Whenever you rolls a Risk using Finesse, you remove one die from your pool before you roll. That die is always considered to roll a 10. If your 10s explode, your free Legendary Trait 10 explodes as well.

Quick Reflexes (Weaponry): You always take actions as if you had an additional Raise to spend when you use this Skill.
