Rover Playbook

As a Rover you are a master of exploration and roughing it.

The places you're working are mainly the surface of colony planets, meaning low-gravity planets and moons.

2. Focused: Once per score you can avoid Stress when Resisting surprise or environmental effects or Mark.
3. Pet: You have a trained animal pet trained to work with you in hostile environments and to wear protection devices. It can do tricks like a dog and Assist you in melee and when you are searching for something.

5. Rage: When in a Desperate Position, you gain +1d to Resist consequences.
