CHARACTER BACKGROUND: skill regionSkill Regions: Each character may select a skill region t hat represents the area where he or she was raised. These skill regions make up the different segments of society on Ohr, each containing skills that may be taken by characters of that region. You are considered to be proficient in the skills granted to you by the chosen skill region. Skill regions are a different way of doing backgrounds and in our opinion at least, a more interesting and varied way to add to the details of your character while providing them with a mechanical bonus.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND: FEATUREEach character may select a feature for their character to begin with. These are "feats", but are limited to level one characters and can only be taken at CHARACTER CREATION. These features are not available to characters beyond the first level, starting or otherwise.

Feature: You can now choose 3 skills instead of the normal 2 from your skill region to gain proficiency in.

Either way, it's more difficult to bring you down. Feature: You have advantage on the first death saving throw you make after you are brought down to zero hit points. Professional Soldier - As a professional soldier you have been trained in the art of war, at least that's what they're going to tell you right before sending you off to a lonesome battlefield. In reality you've been pulled up and taught how to use a single weapon with the intent to kill others on behalf of lofty goals of a nation. Feature: You gain proficiency in one martial or exotic weapon of your choice. If you choose an exotic weapon proficiency you are still bound by the same rules when purchasing equipment. IE: You cannot buy exotic weapons. ONE UNIQUE THING:Your character’s One Unique Thing (their unique) is a special feature invented by you, the player, which sets your character apart from every other hero. It is a unique and special trait to your player, and markedly unusual. The intent is that it provides a special flavor to the campaign and can assist the GM in determining how your character can interact with characters and story in the campaign.
Your character’s unique should not provide general practical value in combat. That is not the intent. The intent is to open up story arcs and fun role-playing opportunities. That means: Do not create a feature that gives you a mechanical advantage in game. This is something that a story can be pulled from. |
