Unintended >_<

How does this sound?

When you set out to personally devote a few days doing recon, research and surveillance about someone or something >>>

In Shadow:

The 1-6 option should be changed to something like:

1-6 = you are almost done when the World makes a Soft Reaction

“you have done” doesn’t really mean anything here.

Either option seems a little bit weird for concealing your presence (rather than concealing your actions). Maybe something like this would work for both presence and actions?

1-6 = you are almost done or almost out of danger when the World makes a Soft Reaction

In Assassin’s Strike:

Does the person you attack have to be both unaware and unprepared? Or can they be either unaware and unprepared? I’d personally add an “and” or “or” between them, to clarify which.

Situations I’m thinking of: Someone is aware of your presence but unprepared for you to attack. Or, someone is prepared for you to attack (i.e. on guard), but unaware that you’re lurking right behind them.

EDIT: Also, the 10+ option should be:

10+ = you do it smooth, no one else notices and no traces are left behind

The person you attacked clearly would notice! The word “else” clarifies this, I think. :)

In A Thousand Faces:

I think the trigger should read like this:

to disguise yourself as someone else

Unless disguising someone else can trigger this move?

In Cogs and Springs:

I think the last sentence (“Leveraging the answers received will grant you Advantage for the relevant task.”) is unnecessary, although it could be helpful. The “Look Around” move already specifies that you get Advantage when acting on the answers.

I might change this whole move to be something like:

Add these questions to the list of questions you can ask when you Look Around:

Because, really, the only thing being changed here is that you have more questions to choose from when you Look Around.

In Dirty Fighter:

during a melee

is a slightly weird phrase. I might change it to something like

in a melee fight

In Poisoner:

Is it possible to pick a common option and multiple [Rare] options from the same list? For example, could I make my poison both appear within days and be difficult to neutralize? Or, have one Nasty effect for days and one Deadly effect?

In Underworld Network:

I’d clarify the 7-9 option, something like this:

7–9 = someone brings it to you and you owe a favour to someone unsavoury OR they just give you intel on how to get it, your choice

You could also break this into two bullet points, with something like “Pick one:” beforehand.

Right now, it’s not clear who gets to make the choice. My best guess was that the Scoundrel gets to choose, but I could be wrong!
