Advancements ------------ Tier: 1 [ ] Increase Capabilities [ ] Move Toward Perfections [ ] Extra Effort [ ] Skill Training [ ] Other Background ---------- Explorer You are a person of action and physical ability, fearlessly facing the unknown. You travel to strange, exotic, and dangerous places, and discover new things. This means you're physical but also probably knowledgeable. Although Explorers can be academics or well studied, they are first and foremost interested in action. They face grave dangers and terrible obstacles as a routine part of life. Honorable You are trustworthy, fair, and forthright. You try to do what is right, to help others, and to treat them well. Lying and cheating are no way to get ahead-these things are for the weak, the lazy, or the despicable. You probably spend a lot of time thinking about your personal honor, how best to maintain it, and how to defend it if challenged. In combat, you are straightforward and offer quarter to any foe. You were likely instilled with this sense of honor by a parent or a mentor. Sometimes the distinction between what is and isn't honorable varies with different schools of thought, but in broad strokes, honorable people can agree on most aspects of what honor means. Descends From Nobility A descendent of wealth and power, you carry a noble title and the abilities granted by a privileged upbringing. Choose how you became involved in the adventure: • The PCs' goals appear to be honorable and commendable. • You see that what the other PCs are about to do is dangerous, and you'd like to help protect them. • One of the other PCs invited you, hearing of your trustworthiness. • You asked politely if you could join the other PCs in their mission. Background Connection --------------------- You worked as a small-time criminal operative until you were caught and served some time in jail, after which you tried to go straight. Focus Connection ---------------- Pick one other PC. They appear to have a treasured item that was once yours, but that you lost in a game of chance years ago. Notes ----- Possible player intrusions based on your character type: Fortuitous Malfunction A trap or a dangerous device malfunctions before it can affect you. Serendipitous Landmark Just when it seems like the path is lost (or you are), a trail marker, a landmark, or simply the way the terrain or corridor bends, rises, or falls away suggests to you the best path forward, at least from this point. Weak Strain The poison or disease turns out not to be as debilitating or deadly as it first seemed, and inflicts only half the damage that it would have otherwise. Stalwart +2 to your Might Pool. Granted from Honorable Possible GM intrusion from your focus: Debts incurred by a family are owed by the character. A long-lost sibling seeks to disinherit rivals. An assassin finds the character.
