Partners share emotional state and condition awareness at distance. When one marks a condition, the other learns it immediately. When one clears a condition, the other can spend 1 Team pool to clear the same condition. Search fit: shared condition tracking, partner coordination, Team pool spend.

The Joined — Soulbond Variant

The Soulbond Joined is mystically linked to their partner. When they are apart, the city feels off; when they are together, they are stronger than the sum of the two of them. The Soulbond's downside is the partner's pain. The Bond does not let them filter, and an injured partner is an injured Joined whether they want to be or not.
