In a couple of weeks, Romeo, my bard, will almost certainly level up. Romeo has become the paladin’s squire (sort of). We’re looking for a good squire move for a bard. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

  1. This move is stolen right out of Class Warfare, but re-tooled for your needs:

    Consult Squire

    When your knight comes to you for advice about something

    important, or a difficult problem and you tell them what you honestly think is best, they get +1 forward when following your advice, and you mark XP if they succeed.

    I feel like this works for a few reasons; first, it feels like a golfer/caddy relationship a bit, which is a fun dynamic for a knight/squire. Also, it speaks to a bard being a fount of knowledge. It’s also a fun way to get more XP for the Bard, so they’ll perhaps be more inclined to use it 😉

    (if it risks having the bard gain too much XP, you could allow them to gain XP from the move only once after the session, like the alignment move)

  2. How about a “I have one Sir” kind of move where you can make a roll to have a piece of equipment that your Knight requires.  Costs the PC a point of adventuring gear as you are carrying crap he needs rather than what you need.  10+ costs you 1 point of adventuring gear and you can have anything reasonable that the Knight needs.  9-7 you either don’t quite have what he wants, or it costs double in adventuring gear.  on a 6+ you still play the cost but you find a hole in your bag where the item must have fallen out.
