PRIDE and PROBLEMS

A character's PRIDE allows them to re-roll one related FAIL roll per month (of REAL TIME).

Examples:

--Cleric: One or more gods smile on you more than they do other people.

--Druid: You sense unnatural phenomena before anyone else.

--Cleric or Druid: Undead fear you.

--Fighter: You never back away from a fight.

--Fighter: You're really good at taking hits.

--Fighter: You never betray your friends.

--Bard: Your friends trust you with their lives.

--Bard: You can make anyone trust you.

--Rogue: When you catch the scent of gold, nothing can stop your pursuit of it.

--Rogue: No one has a softer step than you.

--Rogue: You only steal from those who deserve it.

--Rogue: No one can catch you.

--Rogue: No one can hold you for long.

--Mage: Nothing scares you, for you have seen the world behind the veil.





PROBLEMS are just things that balance out PRIDE, that help you and the GM add flavor to your character. After you or the GM do something that involves your PROBLEM, you get one Hold. You can spend it at any time to re-roll a failed roll.


--Fighter: You sometimes take to the bottle to chase away the memories of all those you have
killed.

--Fighter: Once, you killed a dark cultist, and you are now wanted by them.

--Rogue: You owe a lot of money to a powerful individual.

--Druid: You have to fight off panic in closed and cramped chambers.

--Rogue: You compulsively steal valuables you catch sight of.

--Rogue: Your purse is often empty, for you spend treasure as swiftly as you obtain it.

--Mage: You are haunted by visions of the world behind the veil.

--Mage: Your yearning for more magical power is strong-- maybe stronger than anything else.







The things you learn during the game are measured in Experience Points (XP). You receive
XP after the end of each game session. Talk it through and let the whole group discuss what
has happened. For each of the below questions that you can reply “yes” to, you get one XP:

✥ Did you participate in the game session? You get one XP just for being there.

✥ Did you visit at least one place that you had not visited before?

✥ Did you overcome one or more obstacles?

✥ Did you find a treasure (1 gold or more)?

✥ Did you activate your Pride?

✥ Did you suffer from your Problem?

✥ Did you risk your life for someone else?

✥ Did you perform an extraordinary action of some kind?



TWO XP for each of these:

--A prominent NPC was killed, or saved from certain death.
--A widely-feared monster was slain.
--A legendary treasure or artifact was found or stolen.
--The deed will have significant consequences for one of the major factions in this land.
