Character Creation

Create your Character

As a player, you will likely play a few different characters throughout your quest. Death comes for all of us, but the story continues. That’s why creating a new character is quick and easy.

Random or Chosen

You may reveal cards to randomly determine your Birthsign, Gift, and Calling. This is the fastest way to make a character, and it can be a fun way to try something new. It is also the intended experience for playing Rite of Remembrance.

However, your group may decide that they wish to deliberately choose any or all of these aspects to “build” your character. This is fine, as long as everyone agrees on which aspects are random, and which are chosen.

First, determine your Birthsign.
Then, assign your Attributes and step up the Favored Attributes granted by your Birthsign.
Note your maximum Vigor and Guard, and add any bonuses granted by your Birthsign.
Determine your Gift.
Determine your Calling.
1. Select one Talent from those listed in your calling.
2. Choose your Equipment.

Attributes

Your attributes are the ways that you interact with the world. Your character has 4 attributes:

Might, Agility, Wisdom, and Heart.

With your Might, you may strike, grapple, lift, and endure.

With your Agility, you may dash, aim, sneak and handle.

With your Wisdom, you may perceive, solve, analyze and focus.

With your Heart, you may persuade, command, charm and connect.

To start, assign each die to an attribute:

d8, d6, d6, d4

Then, step-up each of your Favored Attributes, granted by your Birthsign.
