TyrantsSource Interstellar Species pg. 186
Those who amass extraordinary wealth, power, and influence often use them to perpetuate their advantages, typically through violent or coercive means. Tyrants might maintain their rule through subterfuge and surveillance or through age-old and expedient threats and brute force. What unifies tyrants across philosophical and ideological divides is the willingness and ruthlessness to pursue extraordinarily ends to justify their means, often at a terrible cost to those who dare oppose them.

When a fortunate warlord misses a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, they can reduce the number of squares the weapon lands away from the target by 1. In addition, they roll 1d8 twice and use either result to determine the misdirection of the throw. DescriptionSome worlanisi leverage their preternatural luck to best their rivals, forging loyal armies that revere the leader’s track record of uncanny victories. These fiefdoms typically thrive less on careful planning than they do on aggression, creating situations where the warlord can beat the odds in one fell swoop. These leaders most often run pirate ships or mercenary crews, where a quick tongue and quicker aim can win the day.
