* CastSpeciation: Subverted. Although the game's use of playbooks is reminiscent of games TabletopGame/PoweredByTheApocalypse (which strictly enforce the "only one copy of any playbook per campaign" rule), ''Blades'' explicitly allows two players to play instances of the same playbook, as long as their ''characterizations'' are sufficiently differentiated. The fact that there are only seven playbooks (instead of the ''[=PbtA=]'' norm of 10-12) may have something to do with it.

[[folder:The Rail Jack]]
A ghost-fighting roughneck. This playbook is an official supplement by John Harper himself available from his website.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: As part of their professional training, Rail Jacks (both the playbook and the trade as a whole) are immune to supernatural terror caused not just by ghosts but even by some lesser devils.
* {{Foil}}: In many ways, the Rail Jack is the anti-Whisper: both playbooks specialize in ghostly matters, but where the Whisper relies on mystic powers, the Rail Jack is [[MagicVersusScience powered by sparkcraft]] (electroplasm engineering) and is much more adept at getting up close and personal with the ghosts.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Downplayed, the "Silver Lung" ability renders the Rail Jack completely immune to DemonicPossession by ghosts and the like.
* PrestigeClass: Taking the "Specialist" ability lets the Rail Jack specialize into one of three gear sets of their trade: Anchor (specializing in luring ghosts away), Grappler (ghost capture specialist), or Hammer (ghost combat specialist).
* StickyShoes: A pair of magnetic boots are included in the Rail Jack's specialty gear list.
* TraintopBattle: The "Goat-Footed" ability reduces the Rail Jack's stress loss when resisting the consequences of tumbling, falling off a moving vehicle, etc., noting specifically that they are "entirely at ease atop a speeding train car".
* WhoYouGonnaCall: While all other playbooks have abilities that help them deal with hostile ghosts, the Rail Jack is the one truly specialized in keeping them at bay. This is because, other than the Spirit Wardens, the rail jacks have by far the most experience protecting people from ghosts, specializing in keeping electro-trains safe on the long treks across the Death Lands.
