Group Concordance
Group Concordance members (players) of a group can bind themselves together to share and even accumulate benefits as a group. Even when the player/character is absent from play, they can contribute to the success of the group. The set of characters all having the same Shared Bond forms a community which gives support, direction, and purpose to their immediate actions. In addition to the Code of Conduct (ex: Group Loyalty Common Code) behind the Shared Bond, there is a set of guidelines for dealing with group operations. Additionally, there is an opportunity for the advantages of Group Leadership to be applied when the group is together, and can enhance Team Tactics. The members of the group decide how benefits will be used.
Measures of Group Concord
Each group member must spend the noted CP to gain its benefits.
- Group Operation: [-1 CP] The range at which one group can physically assist or interoperate with is extended.
- Group Development: [-1 CP] The group gains 1 CP initially, and members can contribute to a CP pool to be distributed as the group members see fit.
- Group Assist: [-2 CP] Better inter-operation. When absent, the Player Character’s presence is still felt – their memory is inspiring.
- Group Endurance: [-2 CP] When lives of others of the group are at stake; When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest cycle.
- Group Coordination: [-1 CP/-3 CP] The group can better coordinate their actions together.
- Group Remit: [-3 CP] A reservoir of Character Weaves that can be used by any character in the group. Whenever EVERYONE in a group with this measure gains a weave, one is also gained which can be used by anyone in the group. The group can accumulate no more than the total group membership.

Group Assist: Can either it to communicate (the character hears the other’s voice in their head) even if the group members are not in the same vicinity; Use your free 1 sentence if in combat, Sending spell if outside. Or, if the player is absent the session itself, the voice can be used to Bolster (turn a Simple into a Major outcome) one result per session of play. They can move through each other’s space without penalty operating as a team.
