When you reinforce your relationship with a connection by doing any of the following...
- swearing a vow to undertake a perilous quest in their service
- completing a quest to their benefit
- leveraging their help in desperate circumstances
- giving them something of worth
- sharing a profound moment
- standing with them against hardship
- overcoming a test of your relationship
...you may mark progress per the rank of the connection.
If you already share a bond with the connection, do not mark progress. Instead, roll +their rank to learn the impact on your legacy: troublesome=+1; dangerous=+2; formidable=+3; extreme=+4; epic=+5. On a strong hit, mark 2 ticks on your bonds legacy track. On a strong hit with a match, you may also envision how recent events bolstered your connection’s standing and raise their rank by one (if not already epic). On a weak hit, take +2 momentum. On a miss, take no lasting benefit.
