Additional Skirmish Bonds
Lays out when a troop leader earns a second or third skirmish bond, tied to downtime prep, level, and the GM's timing call.
Parent page Customizing Troops
A leader can typically share one skirmish bond with a troop. To give an advantage for the growing bond with a recurring troop, the GM can allow the leader to select a second skirmish bond. They need to take a day of downtime with their troop to prepare them with the new skirmish bond the first time they use it, as usual. The GM determines when the second bond gets unlocked. Usually, it occurs with the troop’s second appearance, though typically this doesn’t happen if the troop reappears very soon after its first appearance. A good basic rule is to give the additional bond if the leader is at least 9th level and has gained at least 2 levels since their first skirmish with the troop.
The GM can grant a third skirmish bond if the troop continues to appear.
