Editing Independent Alliance (section)

===Fleeting Status Traits===

'''Adept''' - You have entered a conflict on behalf of the Sect (a siege, pitched battle, or similar major undertaking, not just a raid or a minor brawl), and comported yourself well on behalf of the Alliance.
* Passive: While you possess Adept, Stock NPCs who are following your character’s instruction gain an additional simple action per turn. Stock NPCs can gain benefit from only one Adept status per turn.
* Spent: You can expend Adept to receive an additional downtime action between game sessions.


'''Hood''' - You are known for being a strong-arm for the Sect. Your area of expertise may be physical, or it may be a less tangible form of expression.
* Passive: While you possess Hood, your Intimidate skill affects Stock NPCs with a rating of up to 3, rather than 2.
* Spent: You can expend Hood to sneak a one-handed weapon past detection (even supernatural or technological means).

'''Reverent''' - On occasion, those who are elevated among the IA will recognize another vampire’s intelligence and ambition.
* Passive: While you possess Reverent you may extend the passive bonus of any one status you currently possess (which is not expended) to one individual per night. This bonus lasts for one hour, so long as they remain within 10 feet of you.
* Spent: You can expend Reverent when another character would gain Beast traits for an action that someone on your Path of Enlightenment would not gain Beast traits for performing. The other character gains no Beast traits for performing this action. Alternatively, you may expend Reverent to request that an officer of the Sect share her views or offer advice, publically or privately (as you wish), about a subject that is pertinent to the domain. This may be used to further political agendas or for personal gain.
'''Tenacious''' - Your bravery and endurance in combat have gained the approval of important members in the Sect, and they have rewarded you for those outstanding efforts.
* Passive: While you possess Tenacious, you have a +3 wild card bonus to resist fear frenzy.
* Spent: You can expend Tenacious to gain a free Willpower retest when challenging to avoid any effect that would force you to leave combat. Only one Tenacious can be spent to retest against an individual per combat scenario.
