Fantasy Origins

Quick Learner. You are able to pick up skills quickly. Skills (but not attributes) cost you one less XP to acquire or advance than they normally would.

Bastard (2d6+6 years)

You were brought up by a family, but you never really belonged and had to learn to fit in.

Prerequisites: none.

Attributes: INT +1, WIL +1, CHA +2

Skill Choices: [social], insight, heraldry, law, history

Adaptable. You find it easy to fit in with others, adapting to their ways. When part of a group making a group attribute check, you gain a bonus +1d6 to the check.

Chosen One (3d6 years)

There was always something special about you. You are prophesied, with a destiny greater than yourself.

Attributes: INT +1, CHA +1, LUC +2

Skill Choices: [artistic], [developmental], [physical], history, religion

Prerequisites: none.

Attributes: AGI +1, INT +1, CHA +1, LUC +1
