Customization Notes:The Grizzled Veteran has been around the covenant for years,but has never reached a formal position of leadership, because he has a tendency to talk back to the magi. On the other hand, he makes a good informal leader of the grogs. Age hasn’t really slowed him down yet, but it is about to. He could take another two Flaws and a corresponding number of Virtues if desired, and his Ability scores can be moved around. The high set should probably be kept in combat, but he could specialize in a different sort of combat (you would have to recalculate Combat Totals), and the secondary abilities can be moved around at will.
