*'''Sea Raider''': The Difficulty of all Sailing tests made in your homeland’s waters and of Athletics tests related to swimming are reduced by 1.
*'''Sea-trader''' (Trader Caste talent): Due to your familiarity with the coastal trade routes, you’ve developed a network of friends and allies in the various port cities, and know your way around such environments. In coastal settlements, you gain the Tradesman talent (When Carousing, if you do not have sufficient Gold to pay your Upkeep, you may offer your services to a tradesman or to a guild in order to cover your Upkeep). When engaging in trade, you gain an additional +1d20 when rolling for Persuade or Discipline tests to get the best deals.
+
*'''No Mercy''': When making a Melee attack, you may re-roll a number of damage dice equal to the total number of Melee talents (and ranks in those talents) you have acquired, if desired. You must accept the results of the re-rolls.
*'''Shipbuilder''' (Trader Caste talent): The craft of shipbuilding is zealously guarded by the members of your caste. You gain the Sea Raider talent and +1d20 on any Craft test to repair or maintain a watercraft.
+
*'''Might''': On any test to lift or move an inanimate object, you may roll a number of bonus d20s equal to your ranks in Might, though the normal limit of three bonus d20s still applies.
*'''Sixth Sense''' (Insight Rank 1): You may re-roll one d20 when making an Insight test, but you must accept the new result. In the event of an ambush, you gain 1 additional bonus point of Momentum. If the Insight test was requested because of sorcerous or otherwise unnatural phenomena, the gamemaster must reveal this.
+
*'''Ancient Bloodline''': Whenever you fail a Personality test, pay the GM 1 Doom and add a d20 to your test (unless you already rolled 3d20).
*'''Pierce the Veil''' (Insight Rank 2): Whenever you are in the presence of the supernatural or beings with unusual powers — particularly if you are not aware of them — the gamemaster should call for you to attempt an Average (D1) Insight test. On success, you recognize that the other being (or presence) has supernatural abilities, and may spend 2 Momentum to identify the type of abilities
+
*'''Pugilist''': You can add the Knockdown quality to all melee attacks.
*'''Know the Signs''' (Insight Rank 3): Whenever you are in the presence of a person or object that was affected by supernatural abilities within the last six hours, you may attempt an Insight test, with a Difficulty equal to the number of hours ago the person or object was affected. On success, you can recognize the taint of the supernatural. By spending 2 points of Momentum, you can identify the specific powers in use.

===Character Story===
 
===Character Story===
Verania was the youngest child of a wealthy merchant captain, and her early life was a happy one, travelling with her father, mother, and older brother to distant realms, with just enough adventure to keep things exciting but not especially dangerous. Until one night on the final leg of a journey from Vendhya, only a few days from home, the ship's crew was attacked by a wretched horror that began slaying them one by one or driving them to madness. Somehow Verania thought she knew how the horror could be fought, and worked with her father and brother to set a trap for it. The unspeakable horror was grievously wounded, but not destroyed.  In its fury, Verania's family and the remainder of the crew were killed, and the ship itself destroyed.  Verania herself faced the monster with only a dagger, which the creature raked with a claw, causing it to fall. Verania closed her eyes and prepared for the worst... but when she opened them a minute later, the horror was inexplicably gone.

A humble shepherd boy, known for singing beneath the starlight in his younger days. Calhar’s people were a small tribe of sheep herders living simple lives beyond the glittering coastal cities. They were meager of means but rich in humble pride.
 +
 
 +
Then the raiders came.
 +
 
 +
One night his entire world went up in steel and flame. The animals and the people were stolen or slaughtered in kind. A sobbing young Calhar tried to staunch his parents’ bleeding wounds with handfuls of wool they had sheared together. But his aunt tore him away from those vain attempts to save the dead and they escaped into the night along with a handful of others. Survival became their trade, finding refuge and sustenance wherever they might. His aunt Eliar was hardy and determined, his rock in those stormy years. But the young Calhar was no longer the soft young man of those calm nights. Violence had awoken something deep in his blood.
  
She saved herself, clinging to a piece of wreckage until it floated to a shore.
+
As the years passed he has hardened into a fighting man, a sellsword worth his fee. Calhar Redwool only sings songs of battle now, howls of victory beneath red moons. Never again will he be counted among the sheep - he has the eyes of the wolf.

Character Story

A humble shepherd boy, known for singing beneath the starlight in his younger days. Calhar’s people were a small tribe of sheep herders living simple lives beyond the glittering coastal cities. They were meager of means but rich in humble pride.

Then the raiders came.

One night his entire world went up in steel and flame. The animals and the people were stolen or slaughtered in kind. A sobbing young Calhar tried to staunch his parents’ bleeding wounds with handfuls of wool they had sheared together. But his aunt tore him away from those vain attempts to save the dead and they escaped into the night along with a handful of others. Survival became their trade, finding refuge and sustenance wherever they might. His aunt Eliar was hardy and determined, his rock in those stormy years. But the young Calhar was no longer the soft young man of those calm nights. Violence had awoken something deep in his blood.

As the years passed he has hardened into a fighting man, a sellsword worth his fee. Calhar Redwool only sings songs of battle now, howls of victory beneath red moons. Never again will he be counted among the sheep - he has the eyes of the wolf.
