 The following list doesn't even approach completion. It is a list of examples of Bunks for assorted arts, which players may choose. In addition, these should be able to give a good idea of the rough power level and difficulty that any given level of Bunk should have, and the sort of "flavour" that Bunks for each Art should have in common.
 Chicanery Chicanery bunks are sometimes physical in nature (hand gestures or the manipulation of an object), but are more often verbal.

 Cantrips Made Easy 
Step 1: Art Choose the Art that you wish to use. You may only use one art per challenge. Step 2: Bunk Draw a Bunk Card at random from your "hand". After your bunk has been chosen you must perform it, or if it is too dangerous or difficult for you to perform the bunk, you must spend 10 seconds game time miming the bunk for each level the bunk has. That is to say that a level one bunk would take 10 seconds to mime while a level five bunk would take about a minute. You may choose to perform an additional bunk, gaining the additional bunk traits. However, this costs a temporary Glamour for each additional bunk after the first one required, and if you choose to draw the extra Bunks, they must be performed for the Cantrip to succeed. Alternately you could spend a Glamour and ignore the bunk process altogether, but this must be declared before the bunk is chosen randomly. This option gives you 0 bunk traits, which effectively prevents those spells that use bunk traits to determine duration or power from being cast in this way, and will make step 5 (the Challenge) more difficult (for instance, overbid retests will be much more unlikely). If you are unable (or unwilling) to perform or to finish all of the drawn bunks in their entirety, the cantrip automatically fails. Step 3: Realms Declare the realms (by level name) that you are using. If they are considered appropriate continue to the next step. If not, your action ends. Step 4: Banality Many targets may opt to use their Banality to resist. In this case a number of traits equal to the target's permanant banality is added to their Traits for the Challenge. If this is the case, and the target wins, the target gains a temporary Banality trait. Banality is declared at this time. Step 5: Challenge Now you either perform a normal challenge against a character or perform a static challenge against the local banality. All of the bunk traits gained are added to your traits for the purposes of determining ties. Cantrip challenges can be Overbid, but otherwise may only be aggressively retested if you are a noble of House Eiluned. Defenders may retest only with Overbid or with the Gremayre ability (if and only if you have the Realm[s] used in the Cantrip). If you lose the challenge you lose the temporary trait bid and all of the bunk traits, if you win you pay the appropriate cost in Glamour, willpower and traits and determine the effects as per the Art description. |
