Notes

Basics in Behaviour is a script designed to be an introduction to the character Legion. Good has a wide variety of tools at their disposal to try and figure out if it is a Legion game, and who is Legion in that game - such as the Empath or the Undertaker. However, the Outsiders, Minions, and Demons all serve to cover for Legion in one way or another. The Fang Gu can move the Demon, as can the Scarlet Woman. The No Dashii, Widow, and Sweetheart cause drunkenness and poisoning and can be bluffed or used as cover for Legions. Each Outsider can be devastating to Good in a Legion game, or serve as amazing cover for Legions out of their depth. These options naturally help smooth players into working with and around the possibility of Legion in-play. As a Storyteller, these tools can also be combined with characters like the Savant - as well as the script's limited options for causing different numbers of deaths - to balance the game. Both sides best be prepared for the unexpected!
