Other players may be called upon to portray a hero's supporting characters on occasion, when their own heroes are incapacitated or otherwise separated from the group, and those 25 words will act as the guidelines for roleplay. This operates in the fashion of PENDRAGON's "squire pool" giving supporting characters a bit more color and keeps a wandering player's attention when other players' heroes are in the spotlight. Goes toward troupe-style play, which IMO is extremely engaging when handled appropriately.
