New page

=Character Creation=
Beginning Geos PCs have eight [http://www.faterpg.com/dl/sotc-srd.html#aspects aspects]. These aspects are not organized into phases, but players are encouraged to describe their character's history and background.

Characters in the 2008 Geos campaign do not have stunts. A more cinematic campaign could include stunts.

Each aspect comes with four [[Geos:Fate-Fudge Rules:Skills|skill]] points, which can also be spent on [[Geos:Fate-Fudge Rules:Extras|extras]]. Since Geos character creation doesn't use phases, the skill pyramid only needs to be balanced once, when character creation is complete.

Some aspects warrant special rules:
* Characters with a fae heritage may invoke that aspect to add +2 to any roll involving magic, so long as the effect is natural. (Calling rain from a cloudy sky is natural, calling rain from a clear sky is not.) If they do, the first negative collateral aspect  is always the injury consequence ''Exhausted''. The character is -1 to all rolls until they have a chance to rest for fifteen minutes.
* Some aspects may modify skills. An aspect like Weapon Master could, for example, give a character +1 in every weapon skill they haven't spent skill points in. Polyglot reduces the cost of languages by 2 (min. 1). Once taken, these aspects can't be swapped out until the character's skill point total is balanced.

Characters with certain backgrounds may require related aspects and skills:
* The human-dominated lands of Geos, as a rule, discriminate against women. A female character may take the ''Female'' aspect. Female characters without this aspect will still experience discrimination, though it won't be as blatant, and they won't get Fate points for it.
* Most of Geos is also racist (well, speciesist.) Currently, the only PC-suitable nonhuman race is the Ayrin.  PCs may also be fae-blooded - take an aspect like Changeling or Faerie Blooded. If you play a halfling, you must take the Ayrin aspect. Fae-descended characters may take a suitable aspect - if they don't, their heritage is merely a special effect.
* A member of the Brotherhood of Foresters must have:
** The aspect Member of the Brotherhood of Foresters (not necessary for former Foresters.)
** At least two points in (armed) combat skills. Bow is very common.
** Area Knowledge 2 in the character's patrol region.
** Endurance 1. A specialty in Hiking is particularly appropriate.
** Language (Rhye) 1 (partially fluent). Rhye is a ''lingua franca'' among Foresters.
** Observation and/or Perception at level 1.
** Survival 2, or Survival 1 with a specialty in Woodlands or Mountains.
** Stealth 1.
** Social Status (Imperial) 1 - all Foresters are freedmen.
** Many Foresters also have Group Knowledge (Rhye or Greenwood Elves), Boating, Athletics, Profession (Hunter or Gamekeeper), Chiurgy, Riding, and Reputation. A few even understand Rhye magic and rituals - this is, of course, a carefully kept secret.
