VIOLENCE
Notes| Ability | Roll
|
| Violence (Muscle) | 2d6
|
| Violence (Agility) | 2d6 |
Violence is exactly what it sounds like: trying to hurt or kill people. The stat you roll depends on how you’re going about it. If it’s up close, with a melee weapon or fisticuffs, roll +Muscle. If it’s from a distance, with guns, bows, bazookas, grenades, or anything else of that ilk, roll +Agility.
On a 10+, choose three:
• Inflict terrible harm (+1 harm)
• The target drops something
• The target is knocked down
• You make a mess (-messy)
• Something explodes (-loud)
• You hit a whole bunch of people (-area)
• You can escape or close in
On a 7-9, choose one:
• You inflict harm but you take some, too.
• You inflict harm but are driven back.
• You inflict harm but a friend is hurt badly in the fight.

GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
Notes| Ability | Roll
|
| Getting What You Want | 2d6 |
Sometimes you want something and you need to talk in order to get it. What that something is is irrelevant to the way we do this. This includes intimidation. If it’s pursued through sheer force of personality, it’s this move. When you seduce or manipulate someone in order to get something (goods, sex, money, information, etc), roll +Magnetism.
On a 10+, you get what you want with no strings attached. It might even be better than you expected. If used against a PC, he or she can refuse but takes a -1 forward until he or she gives in.
On a 7-9, get what you want but it comes with an added cost. A PC can outright refuse.
On a miss, you’ve managed to infuriate someone. The Director may make an appropriate move against you.

EMOTE
Notes
Action stars sometimes like to show off their acting chops (or lack thereof) by displaying emotion in a non-violent context. No subtle acting in action movies, though; when action stars let loose, it’s big, loud, and messy. Pick an emotion to convey via speech or physical movement. When you display that emotion in a melodramatic fashion, roll +Drama.
On a 10+, as below and you take +1 forward when acting on your emo- tions, as well.
On a 7-9, choose a PC or NPC to witness to your emotional display. He or she feels the same emotion as you. It is up to the Director to decide how the witness reacts. If a PC acts on the emotion, he or she takes +1 forward
On a miss, the rawness of your emotions has exhausted you. Take -1 forward.

LOVE SCENE
Notes| Ability | Roll
|
| Love Scene | 2d6 |
Love scenes (read: sex scenes) are part and parcel of action movies. Emotion is usually expressed physically and there’s no more physical expression of love than sex. When you have sex with someone, PC or NPC, roll +Magnetism.
On a 10+, choose two.
On a 7-9, choose only one.
• +1 when you protect or help your lover for the rest of the film
• Your head is clear for days; +1 for the scene.
• The head of your lover is clear for days; he or she takes +1 for the scene. • Your lover will die during the course of the movie. When he or she does, you may invoke the Vengeance move just as though a fellow PC had died. • Your lover will show up during a moment of danger to provide critical aid. On a miss, the Director may use your lover to complicate your life in the near future. It may be that he or she is captured. He or she may betray you. Maybe it’s just a quick death. Whatever it is, you will take -1 for the scene from the stress it causes when it happens.

KILLER ONE LINER
Notes| Ability | Roll
|
| Killer One Liner | 2d6 |
After stunts and senseless violence, one liners are the connective tissue of the action film. Note that this is a move for which a miss implies that the line fell flat for the imaginary audience. It might be a legitimately funny line at the table even with a miss and still misfire with the audience. When you deliver an awesome one liner or catchphrase roll +Swagger.
On a 10+, your line is hilarious, well-timed, and cutting. Choose one: • Take +1 forward to your next roll.
• Your buddies are impressed. +1 to Camaraderie
On a 7-9, as above, but also pick one of the following
• Someone is enraged and immediately attacks you. • Someone you care about is hurt.
• The comment slows an action scene down (and not in a good way).
On a miss, the line falls flat. Take -1 forward as you’re rattled by how lame your line was. The Director may make a move against you.

On a 7-9, the stunt is successful. Take +1 forward. However, you’ve left yourself in a precarious position; choose one below.
