B-Grade Templates (Classes)

TEMPLATES

• Each player chooses a template for their character at character generation. Alternatively, the one roll character generator can be used (unfinished).
• Effectively a template defines both the race and class for a PC.

• A template has the following features:
  • Name of template
  • Description
  • Benefits - a single powerful benefit that is automatically given with the template. They are very powerful, define the template and are unique for each template.
  • Flaw-a powerful flaw that offsets the benefit. Also define the template and are unique to each template.
  • Boons-special abilities that are not automatically given at character generation. The player may choose 1 boon at chargen from the list of boons available. The rest may be purchased with experience. There is some overlap with boons. i.e. some boons are available to multiple templates.
