Fantastic idea.

Pursuant to that: butts.

My thought would be that you use your GM moves to establish it in the fiction, and then either the Wizard has to come up with ways to avoid or circumvent it or else it's Defying Danger or just not possible in the presence of an unhindered enemy.

Alternately, custom moves like "when you attempt to break the counter-spell" or whatever totally fit too.

Hard to say, unfortunately.  We're going to need to determine scope, etc and we'll be starting that in January.  As soon as possible - I know it's a hot topic for a lot of folks and we're really excited to get going.

The Villager is not exactly up-to-date for the current ruleset.  Once we're done all the kickstarter stuff, we'll probably take a crack at updating it.  THAT SAID, if one of our charming and talented forum dwellers wanted to take it apart and rebuild it, I am certain we would be more than happy about that.

Basically, we just don't have the time to dedicate to updating old free material just now!

Ah!  That's fantastic, thanks for the heads-up!

Heart?  Warmed.

The +1 forward is only on the next roll, not carried throughout the battle, so there's that.

Also, consider that there might needs to be time and consultation and that the advice is only valid once.

As a GM, I'd stick to my principles and agenda here - you're totally in the right to show them the downside of their class (the Wizard has to pay a toll for all that knowledge) or ask and build on the answers - "why is your advice so supernaturally keen?  what price do you pay to access that magic?"

Also to consider, the Wizard doesn't have to say what's best for the party.  He or she can be a total sneaky jerk and tell them what he wants them to do, not what he thinks is best for them.  Then it's super manipulative advising, too.

I've actually never seen it become a problem in game, but I could fully see how, without some discussion, it might!  Let's continue discussing it, I'd love to hear folks' thoughts.

Easy as pie.  Tell everyone to write a single Bond at character creation based on the descriptions given, but instead of choosing from the list, tell them to write down their first impression of one other PC.

Things like;
"Xotoq is obviously a complete bad-ass."
"There's more to Ivy than meets the eye, I think."
"I need to get on Halwyr's good side, that guy is a creep!"

Then play as normal, replacing the bonds and adding new ones at the End of Session like normal.
