BOONS

When a PC forms a strong bond with a Vanguard Enforcer or successfully perform a service for them, the Enforcer may award the PC with one of the below boons at the GM’s discretion.

  • Share restricted records of recently apprehended magic users in the titan’s local area.
  • Allow access for the purchase of restricted or military-level gear without needing to go through black market channels.
  • Reveals the locations of suspected safe houses containing unregistered, but non-violent and low-priority, magic-users in the local area.

A Vanguard titan is an elite soldier trained to track and subdue or eliminate renegade magic users. Carefully selected and trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as marksmanship, even a single titan is a dangerous enemy.

Their greatest strength lies in their ability to work together, coordinating close-range combat prowess with ranged fire support.
