Races:

Human: you’ve overheard a lot of rumours in your time. Take +1 to Spout Lore.

Service:

When you help your companions with down-time activities, the numerical value of the rewards of such acitivities is increased by one. For example – making camp heals an extra 1 hp, Bolster gives an extra 1 hold, poison brewing gives one more dose, etc. 

Distracting Intercourse

when you engage somebody in conversation, and don’t want their attention to wander, roll +CHA. On a hit, their attention is all yours. On a 7-9, their attention is your, but pick one:

-holding their attention puts you in a spot

-you can only hold their attention briefly

Improvised Strike

When you unexpectedly grab a nearby object and strike somebody roughly in a vital spot with it, roll +CON. On a 10+, both. On a 7-9, pick one.  

-You create an advantage, +1 forward

-you deal your damage +1d6

The selected object might be able to continue to function as a weapon, depending on what it is (GM’s call). 

Gear:

Choose your weapon:

the crossbow from under the bar (near, far, reload, 2 weight), and a bundle of bolts (3 ammo, 1 weight)

the sword that hung over the fireplace (close, +1 damage, 2 weight)

A pair of knives from the kitchen (hand, precise, thrown, 1 weight)

The axe from the woodpile (close, messy, 2 weight)

[more to come]

Advanced moves:

You Meet in a Tavern

You take +1 to Recruit, and hirelings you recruit will have the cost “Large Quantities of Alcohol”. 

Undivided Attention

When you distract a target, on a hit, you can give yourself or an ally +1 forward against them.

Tavern Performer

Take a move from the Bard class

Worldly

Take a move from any class not currently in use

Brawler

24-hour service

When you make camp and attend to one of your companions’ needs overnight (bring them snacks, make them breakfast, make sure they’re… comfortable…), take +1 ongoing to aid or interfere with them until you make camp again.
