THE PERSON of ACTION

Gains +1 to all attacks and damage, and +1 to AC.Starts with one Feat from the list found at my last post.

Roll on the chart of Starting Epithets.



Begins play with 100 Moons or possessions equivalent to that amount.



THE PERSON of LEARNING

A PERSON of LEARNING has a chance of knowing some pertinent facts about any situation.the chance of success depends upon the esotericism of the fact.

EXAMPLES

"Io is a stern God who seeks to proselytize the land of Kos." - automatic success

"Those creatures are known as Chop-Hawks - they are very aggressive but will not attack outside their territory." - 5 in 6 chance of success

"Amble Edge is ruled by the Axe-Witch who dwells in a ruined oak.Her guardsmen are a troop of 7 elite swordsman led by a veteran named Graysword." - 4 in 6 chance of success

"This scroll is written in the ancient language of the Stone-Folk".- 3 in 6 chance of success

"This scroll written in Stone-Folk and details the legend of Arr the Iron, a silent priest who fought a wolf-like creature in a swamp.It details the location of his tomb." - 2 in 6 chance of success

If the information concerns the area in which you grew up/studied, you gain a bonus to the chance of success.



Persons of Learning begin play with 3 random spells and 3 random incantations, in addition to any bonus spells from Magic score.

Do not roll on the Standard List of Starting Epithets; instead, your nickname will simply indicate where you are from.E.g, "Bort of Water-Fall Library", "Bort of Downflow", etc



Persons of Learning begin play with 2d10 Moons or possessions equivalent to that amount, along with simple clothing, a simple weapon of choice, and some writing materials in a haversack or pouch.

They also know 2 Facts of the player's choice.These can be anything - "How do I become immortal?""What is the exact location of the greatest treasure of Kos?" "What really caused the Great Cataclysm?""How can I defeat Sheriff Dronlan 3-Swords?"
