Traits

• Gifts & Curses:
  • Lucky: "The character can attempt deus ex machina rolls at any level, and may re-try any failed saving throw, ability roll, attack or other roll once per day per level."
  • Craven: automatic failure on morale checks
  • Fool: "always believes in illusions, and may not learn the Scholar or Lore abilities. -2 reaction roll modifier from anyone who would judge the character’s intelligence or maturity."
• Abilities:
  • Familiar: Jenkin the homonculus looks like a six-inch miniature of Fortunato himself. In moments of frankness, the magician admits to the familiar's being the smarter of the pair. "Only a magician who has the Familiar ability may posses one, and he or she can posses only one at a time (if it dies, he may summon another and bind it to his will). A familiar provides a +1 bonus to arcane spell casting rolls. And, they can absorb 1 Hit and 1 penalty die of exhaustion incurred from arcane spell casting. This temporarily incapacitates the familiar, until it recovers as per the normal rules."
