Lancer Playbook

As a Lancer, you stand at the front, on the edge of danger. You are the trained hand of authority — police, soldier, security, bodyguard, or peacekeeper. You know how to work with allies, clear an area, and impose calm through power and authority. Defined by discipline and ability under pressure, you stand fast, direct others, and act without hesitation when everything depends on it.

Touchstones: Hicks (Aliens (1986)), Rico (Starship Troopers (1997)), Saul Tigh (Battlestar Galactica TV (2004–09)), Cara Dune (The Mandalorian TV (2019–20)).

Special Abilities

  1. Authority: Gain increased Effect when you Command a frightened target or with a show of force.
  2. Band of Brothers: When you Assist or Protect an ally, gain +1d to any Resistance Roll this causes.
  3. Exfil: When an ally is pinned down or unable to act, gain +1d on any action to protect or extract them.
  4. Mule: Increase your Load limit by 2.
  5. Pro: When you Push Mark, choose one: ignore cover and crowds — hit a tiny mark — ignore an area effect.
  6. Steadfast: Gain +1d when Resisting a Consequence with Prowess or Resolve.
  7. Tough: Ignore the penalties from level 1 and 2 Harm.
  8. Vanguard: When you lead a Cohort, they ignore penalties from Harm until incapacitated and gain increased Effect with personal ranged weapons.
  9. Additional Playbook: Select another playbook. You gain immediate access to its Inventory and XP conditions. but not base upgrades. From now on, you can choose its Special Abilities. You can take this special ability multiple times, each time selecting a new playbook. Prerequisite: To select a playbook, you need an action rating of one in each of its starting actions.
