Sources of Power: Bonds

Relationships, beliefs and ambitions that give strength. Bonds are Sources of Power for adversaries who believe they are working for a greater purpose and hold this purpose at the core of their being. Unfeeling and purely destructive adversaries are unlikely to possess Bonds.

Bond Effects:
Passive: Adversary can Exhaust to gain bonus on a Test
Active: Draw Strength from a Bond to regain Hit-points and Break one effect

Special: Bonds cannot be removed, instead they can be leveraged to attempt to remove one other Source of Power. This may have significant impact on adversarys goals and methods.

Weakness: If the adversary is convinced another Source of Power undermines their Bond they make a Will Burden Test. On success Bond remains and the other Source of Power is removed. On failure the Bond is removed.
