Traits

Using the basic Hindrances (SWAP pg. 25), Traits and Skills (SWAP pg. 33) and Edges (SWAP pg. 40) found in the Pathfinder Core although Arcane Backgrounds are slightly different (see MAGIC Backgrounds; see below)

NEW BACKGROUND EDGES
DRAGONMARK [Novice, only certain races may take certain Marks]: You possess a Dragonmark, a magical tattoo found generally on your arms. Either you bare one of the 13 sanctioned Dragonmarks or you might have an Aberrant Mark. Those with a Sanctioned Mark possess basic powers common with those of the same household, with an Aberrant Marks will have wildly different (and often dangerous) abilities and powers. The Aberrant Mark are outlawed by the Dragonmark Houses who fear and hate those that possess them. See MAGIC below for the Mark's abilities. Most players should pick a Dragonmark of one of the Houses. Those with a sanctuion mark also gain the barer +1 Persuasion checks within her own Dragonmark House. Taking the Edge a second time grants +2 Persuasion checks within her own House. Aaimars, Changelings, Dragpnborn, Kalashtar, Tieflings. Shifters and Warforge cannot take a Dragonmarks, although if the GM allows Aberrant Marks all but the Warforged could potentially take one of those.
The GM should heavily regulate those with an Aberrant Mark.
This Edge can be taken twices for additional powers that the mark awarkens.
FAMILIAR [Novice, Arcane Background (any Arcane), Spell casting skill must be d10+)]: the character has acquired an animal familiar. The creature gained is a dove, raven, cat, frog, small dog, nonpoisonous snake, etc. The mage and the familiar acquire the Loyal Hindrance with regard to each other. The familiar is not a slave, however, and can refuse to follow orders, especially ones which will cause it harm. Unless ordered otherwise, the familiar follows its natural instincts. For example, a cat familiar may stop to chase a mouse, take a quick nap, or sate its curiosity about a small hole, and it’s likely to hide during combat. The strong bond allows the familiar to resist the effects of beast friend. Both can understand each other’s speech. To others, the familiar is simply making animal noises — the mage speaks his normal language. The familiar is a Wild Card with respect to wounds and the Wild Die, but has no bennies. The mage may spend his for the familiar, however.
The first time the mage takes this Edge it gains one of the powers below. Each additional time this Edge is taken, the mage can pick two powers listed below and the familiar gains +1 to its Toughness score. Each power may only be taken once. The mage may take this Edge only once each Rank it acheives.

• The mage can transfer Wounds and Fatigue levels to or from his familiar as a free action.
• The mage may increase one attribute of his choice by one die, to a maximum of d12.
• The mage can use the familiar’s senses as if they were his own. This requires concentration. The maximum range for this ability is the mage’s Smarts x 100 yards.
• The familiar can use the mage’s Combat Edges as its own.
• Any spells the mage casts on himself also affect the familiar. If he casts protection with a raise, both he and his familiar gain +4 Armor for the duration, for example.
• The familiar has 10 Power Points, which the mage may use as if they were his own. They recharge at the same rate as the mage’s (usually 5 per hour with rest).
• The mage can cast any spell through the familiar, using it as the starting point of the spell.
• The familiar acts as an arcane focus and grants the cast a +1 to her casting skill if within 10” (20yards).

Arcane Backgrounds

The world of Eberron includes many types of magic, from the Dragonmarks to spell casters. The following are the most common Arcane Background power users.

Casting a Spell by an Artificer requires a Full Round (no Pace, no Multi-Actions allowed) and cost 1 additional Power Point to cast and to maintain.
