8. Cost

A follower's cost describes what keeps them following a PC's lead. It's usually a few words, like "coin, payment, treasure" or "affection, respect" or "training."

Choose one from the list below, or make something up. When their cost is paid, they hold +1 Loyalty (max 3), per the Strengthen Your Bond move Strengthen Your Bond.

  • Coin, payment, treasure
  • Renown, public recognition
  • Affection, respect (from you)
  • Knowledge (about what?)
  • Wrongs righted, good deeds done
  • Amusement, entertainment
  • Progress (towards a particular goal)

Andras is a young man, eager and a rookie, with an instinct of "to try to impress Rhianna." I think that a word of praise from Rhianna, especially in public, would mean the world to this kid. And so I make that his cost: "Recognition."
