Keepers of the Secret

Reactive Teamwork Talent. Costs 1 Reaction Point when the trigger happens, with your bonded partner within Close range. The RP cost never changes at any tier.

Trigger: Your bonded partner attempts a Deception or Stealth check specifically to protect the secret you share, and you're there to back up their story or actions.

Tier 1 (Level 1): Grant them 1 level of Advantage on that check.

Tier 2 (Level 5): As Tier 1, but you grant 2 levels of Advantage.

Tier 3 (Level 9): As Tier 2. You may also spend 1 Strain as part of the reaction to let them roll the check with Fortune as well.

Tier 4 (Level 13): As Tier 3, but you may instead spend 2 Strain so that if the check fails, any lingering suspicion lands on you instead: a creature that would stay wary of your partner becomes wary of you.
