Skyfire

Setting

For the past year, talented and ambitious adventurers of every ilk have been arriving in Argyle, as word has spread of multiple wizards offering incredible bounties for successful completion of a mission, the details of which would only be divulged on a certain day. A prediction for that day, known to many, was that a celestial event would change the world forever.

The seven wizards, operating apparently independently, have been interviewing (either directly or through a proxy) and testing aspiring the brave and adventurous souls who have arrived, each wizard building out his/her "dream team" for the mysterious mission.

Character Development

You are a member of the team built by Callista Dredd, a powerful sorceress about whom little is known, for she resides in a multi-colored tower and never leaves.

Background

You are an experienced adventurer. Alternately, or in addition, you have Overconfidence and some social skills in Merchant, Acting, etc that have gotten you through the interview process.

You should spend on Area Knowledge and Contacts if you expect to leverage either in-game.

Points

Generally, these are 150 point characters with a max in -50 in Disadvantages, but this is layered atop the species templates.

You are advised to add Strong Will and/or Fearlessness.

Applicants may select from any of the following species:

Species

• Dwarf
• Halfling
• Half-elf

Gear

Base wealth means you have $5,000 in equipment (or $4000 in eq and $1000 in gold/silver/platinum etc). For perspective:

• Good steel (DR 7) on your chest and groin is $2300.
• A two-handed sword is $900 (or $3600 for "fine" quality +1 damage)

Take one or more levels of the Wealth advantage if you need a bigger budget.

Characters may buy 1-4 levels of Magery.

The GM approves any magic items, which may or may not cost character points.
