Tempered Soul Usage Log
A running record of every time a member of Deez Nuts spends Tempered Soul. The feat was granted to the whole party when they signed the Compact in Session 50, so the log begins there.
Why we track this: Tempered Soul is meant to be narrated, not just rolled. Per the DM's rule (S50): each use, the player tells the table what they are feeling, what they are using it to empower, and how they envision that power coming about. Logging all three — with a verbatim quote — keeps a record of how each character calls on it.
How to log a use
For every spend, add a row to that character's table below:
- Session it happened in.
- Empowered — the exact roll or effect (an attack, a save, a save DC raised, a check, a harvest roll).
- Feeling & how they described it — the emotion, memory, or instinct, quoted verbatim.
- Outcome — did the d4 change the result?
