Character Creation Guidelines
You are an experienced professional in the prime of your career. That career might be as a hardened mercenary deployed repeatedly to help beat back the ever-fecund orc tribes in the foothills of the Ozgarn Mountains, or it might be something more gentile, like a polyglot who is a learned translator in the royal library of Camlin, or a wealthy entrepreneur of Cormire who owns several profitable high-end brothels.
Before building out your character, write up a brief physical description and background that answers at least these questions:
- what's your name?
- where are you from?
- what's your profession?
- how did you get so good at it?
You needn't be physically powerful or fit, but you must be capable of travel and communication.
Basic point limits:
Extra points available for social influence advantages such as Social Regard, Reputation, Status, Contacts, Allies, Patrons.
Extra points available for Enemies, Debts, Secrets, Duties, Dependents, Vows.
Anything Exotic (alien icon) or Supernatural (lightning icon) will require an additional expenditure on Unusual Background, to be discussed with and determined by the GM. Generally speaking, if the desired attribute is allowed, expect to spend at last that much again on Unusual Background.
