1 Trained Athlete. Many English authorities have
an almost cultish devotion to physical excellence, and
it has trickled down to the commoners. Indeed, the
fi eld of sport is the one place where the two classes
are allowed to compete full-strength, as absolute
equals. It is one of the few places a peasant can earn
a lord’s respect. +2 Athletics, First two levels of
an Athletics path
2 Legacy. Gentry of the fi ve families disdain personal
wealth, but very few of them set it aside when they
get it. On the other side, peasants value it very
much, and often make profi t off that aforementioned
disdain. +2 Wealth, +3 Possession
3 Horrendous Initiation. There are secretive cults,
criminal gangs, treasonous movements, political
cabals and selective military academies that all
demand proof of dedication. Just what was yours?
+1 COORDINATION
4 Cultured. Perhaps your parents forced you to
practice the nong for hours on end because they
believed it was good for you, or perhaps dance was
your rebellion against their militancy. You could just
as easily be a villager trained to perform, too:
+3 Perform, +2 Languages
5 Center of a Movement. There was a cause, and
you were its leader. What was your cause? Who
followed? Who resisted? Who are your allies and
enemies? Are they secret or is their support overt?:
+3 Followers, +2 Patron
6 Mountain Raised. You’ve spent a lot of time
running up and down hills in the crisp cool air:
+3 Climb, +2 Vigor
7 Sentenced to Hard Labor. What was your crime?
Did you do it, were you framed or were you taking
the fall for someone else? What kind of work did
they make you do? How did people react once you’d
served your sentence and were free?: +1 BODY
8 Sniper. It’s usually the landed
who practice with a rifle , but it’s ordinary
people who use shoting to put fresh meat on the
dinner table. Sometimes, a skilled sniper
gets inducted into a lord’s private guard:
+2+ED Rifle, First level of a Rifle path
9 Acrimonious Divorce and Family
Feud. Sometimes those dangerous
liaisons go too far and become dangerous
marriages, which lead, in turn, to
dangerous divorces. Or shallow graves, but
that’s not really pertinent. Is it?
+3 Dodge, +2 Fight
10 Saved Lives. Nothing gives confi dence quite like
seizing control during turmoil and making the right
decisions. You trust yourself because you’ve been
proven: +1 COMMAND
