Player Intrusions (1XP)

Advantageous Malfunction: A device being used against you malfunctions. It might harm the user or one of their allies for a round, or activate a dramatic and distracting side effect for a few rounds.
Convenient Idea: A flash of insight provides you with a clear answer or suggests a course of action with regard to an urgent question, problem, or obstacle you’re facing.

This is enough to buy you some time for a better solution, alleviate a complication that was interfering with your abilities, or just get you one more use out of a depleted cypher or artifact.

Background and Story

Your mother left you as an infant on the doorstep of The Vanguard Institute of Adventurers. It didn’t feel right stealing another baby, so when she saw another abandoned child on the doorstep she left you in the same basket and walked away as all Changeling parents do.

Sasha worked in the kitchens, both cooking and entertaining. He would steal food and snacks to make sure Nyx (and himself but mostly Nyx) had something to eat.
