| + | Part of the problem with something like social combat is that we want things that are analogous to weapons, but you don't buy a red herring argument. Well... okay, there is always the theory that you can purchase social tactics by spending some kind of currency you gain by doing research, but that's a whole other ''thing'' and gets complicated. So we're not going to touch that for right now. |

| + | The following is the list of basic social tactics in Trinity. |
| − | : '' "Throw out logic and do the impossible!"''
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The term "chaos" has many meanings: freedom, randomness, entropy, discord, uncertainty. These concepts are all very disparate from one another, their only commonality that they refuse to play by the rules that most sensible individuals ''think'' they should. Freedom fights against tyranny and oppression; randomness fights against societal expectations; entropy resists the procession of time and even continuation of life itself; discord rebels against the notion that there must be agreement; and uncertainty is what makes the notion of free will possible.

| − | Anarchy - and the anarchs who practice it - is the combination of all of these concepts into one nonsensical whole. Tapping into the force of Chaos is to tap into unpredictability itself, and even the anarch is uncertain what powers it will grant him. Through tuning himself to the factors that Chaos rages against, the anarch gains abilities that are linked to those concepts, but only tangentially and briefly: in essence, the anarch simply ''reacts'' in ways that should not be possible. Yet it is the realm of impossibility with which anarchs work, and they laugh in the face of anyone who claims that what they do should not be possible: after all, those who do so are simply sheep, content to live in a reality filled with rules and regulations, from the pettiest despot's heavy taxation to the rules of time itself.

| − | | + | |
| − | The anarch wants to break everyone free of the shackles of sense and rules, to smash the system and make everyone free... or sometimes, to use their powers to subvert the system to make it work for their own ends. Chaos cares not one whit what an individual anarch seeks to do, and distributes its power both fairly and unfairly.

An anarch has a number of ''triggers'' equal to the number of ''idioms'' he would have access to at his class level, even if he has access to fewer or more ''idioms''. You select ''triggers'' from the trigger lists of ''idioms'' you can access; you can change your ''trigger'' selection with a ''short rest''.

| − | To access his powers, an anarch builds a ''deck'' out of the ''whims'' to which he has access. You can have up to four copies of the same ''whim'' in your ''deck'', but the number of ''whims'' in the ''deck'' must precisely match the number on the class table, above, for your level. You can change out the ''whims'' in your ''deck'' with a ''long rest''. ''Whims'' are placed in a ''deck'' in a random order.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When a ''trigger'' occurs - when you are ''triggered'' - you must draw the indicated number of ''whims'' from your ''deck''; the exception is if you (and only you) decide to use a reaction instead, which forfeits your ''draw''. At the end of each of your turns, if you have more ''whims'' than your ''max hand size'', you must ''discard whims'' until you have a number of ''whims'' equal to your ''max hand size''. Discarded ''whims'' go into your ''discard pile''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If at any time your ''deck'' is empty, you ''reshuffle:'' refill your ''deck'' with all whims from your ''discard pile'' at random.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you ''effect'' a ''whim'', you remove it from your ''hand'' and put it in your ''discard pile''. If you have not been ''triggered'' within the last five minutes, you automatically ''discard'' your entire ''hand'' and ''reshuffle''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To use any given ''whim'', the anarch must meet its minimum Luck score, per the table on the right.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When not in a combat or stressful situation, the anarch can use any ''whim'' in his ''deck'' with a few moments' worth of "screwing around."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The anarch begins with four known ''whims''. He gains knowledge of additional ''whims'' each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, he can trade out up to two ''whims'' for new ''whims'' from any ''idiom'' he can access.

| − | | + | |
| − | Whenever you are ''triggered'' but instead use a ''whim'' to negate the ''trigger'', you can ''draw'' as though the original ''trigger'' were still in effect. In this context, "negating" the ''trigger'' means taking an action such that the ''triggering'' action would not have originally ''triggered'' you.

| + | |
| − | *** ''Talking Past Each Other (Ch):'' You gain immunity to the ''babel'' status. (''Prerequisite:'' Do What I Want, I'm Already Confused)
| + | |
| − | * ''Free Will (Ch):'' Effects that attempt to ascertain your future, either by predicting or predetermining it, fail unless their user can make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level.
| + | |
| − | ** ''Where Am I? (Ch):'' Creatures that attempt to ''scry'' upon you or use similar means of remote viewing must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails; a creature that fails cannot attempt to ''scry'' upon you again for 24 hours. (''Prerequisites:'' Free Will)
| + | |
| − | ** ''Who Are You? (Ch):'' Creatures that attempt to ascertain facts about you (such as via ''creature loresight'') via non-mundane means must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails to return any useful information. A creature that fails this check cannot attempt to use such means to learn information about you again for 24 hours. (''Prerequisites:'' Free Will)
| + | |
| − | ** ''What Year Is This? (Ch):'' Creatures that attempt to gain access to your memories, learn of events for which you were present, or glean information regarding your personal timeline must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails; a creature that fails cannot attempt to access your memories, learn of events for which you were present, or glean information regarding your timeline for 24 hours. (''Prerequisites:'' Free Will)
| + | |
| − | ** ''Where Are My Pants? (Ch):'' Creatures that attempt to learn information from items that have been in your possession for at least 24 hours (such as by using ''object loresight'') must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails. A creatures that fails to learn information from such an item cannot attempt to learn information regarding that item for 24 hours. (''Prerequisites:'' Free Will)
| + | |
| − | ** ''You're Not My Real Mom! (Ch):'' Effects that would force the anarch to behave in a certain manner (such as ''charm person'') fail unless their origin can make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level. A creature that fails at such an attempt cannot attempt to use abilities to force the anarch to act or otherwise control his actions for 24 hours. (''Prerequisites:'' Free Will)
| + | |
| − | * ''Infinite Chaos (Av):'' Choose one active use of an avao you can access with a duration measured in minutes or higher. When you activate that avao, its effect lasts for 24 hours. You can choose this talent more than once; each time you do, choose a new avao.
| + | |
| − | ** ''When Will It Stop? (Av):'' Choose one active, causal, or precausal use of an avao you can access with a duration measured in rounds. When you activate that avao, it lasts for an additional 1d6 rounds/four anarch levels. You can choose this talent more than once; each time you do, choose a new avao. (''Prerequisites:'' Infinite Chaos)
| + | |
| − | * ''My Rules (Av):'' You gain access to the ''my rules'' avao. (''Prerequisites:'' Anarchist level 16th+, must be able to access Overwhelming avaos)
| + | |
| − | * ''Need More Juice (Ch):'' When you would allocate your active avao slots, you may choose to not fill any number of active slots. For every slot not filled, you increase your max anarchy token pool by an amount equal to one-half the caused anarchy tokens by an avao of that grade (subtle slots count as half, thus you need to leave two subtle slots unfilled to gain +1 max pool size).
| + | |
| − | * ''Surprise (Av):'' When you could make an attack of opportunity, you may instead use an active use of an avao.
| + | |
| − | * ''Trick Cards:'' An anarch can choose an additional ''stack the deck'' ability in place of a talent.
| + | |
| − | * ''Feat:'' The anarch may gain a bonus feat in place of a talent.
