Passive Features
Always Prepared.
Valez has information on every party member gathered before any encounter. The GM should brief relevant background details before the scene.
Architecture.
In a Noir Zone, Valez cannot be surprised. She always knows when someone is looking for her.
The Ledger's Protection.
Valez cannot be killed while the Ledger has outstanding entries naming her as holder; she is too entangled with its existence to be severed from it conventionally.
Actions
The Leverage.
Valez invokes a known secret or obligation against one target within Close. That target must succeed on a Presence roll (Difficulty 15) or be unable to act against Valez this round as they process the implication.
Ledger Entry.
Valez produces the Black Ledger and makes an entry. The named target is bound by a condition of Valez's choosing that persists until they make amends or a countermeasure is found. Difficulty 18 Presence roll to resist the entry taking hold.
Reactions
The Redirect.
When Valez would take damage, she may redirect it to a nearby Ledger entry-holder within Close range who is aware of their obligation.
