Character Quickstart Generator

Are you stuck on what your first character should be? Are you trying to invent family members for your character, but don't have a face to their names? Have you bought or claimed a design from someone, and need a personality for your newest PC? The Character Quickstart Generator has been made to address all this and more.

You will need:

  • A d4 die
  • A d6 die
  • A d8 die
  • A d10 die
  • A d12 die
  • A d20 die
  • Something to mark down your results in, such as a notebook or a Wordpad document
  • If you don't have dice or paper on hand, you can find a virtual dice roller here and an online text editor here.

When you get to each section, roll the die or dice indicated and match your results to the lists provided. Feel free to roll or reroll as many times as you'd like, and either use all or some of the sections provided. This generator is meant to give you ideas to get a character started, not be taken as the end-all-be-all. It will also be subject to updates and revisions as I think of them/have them pointed out to me.

3.  Age, Size, Fitness and Build

3.1  Age

Player characters, unless they are characters born ICly on 'Souls, must be at least 6 months old when they join the game. Roll 1d12 to determine how old your character is, ranging from 1 to 12 years depending on the result of the die. Please keep in mind the human-age equivalents and the aging differences between Luperci and non-Luperci when you roll; an explanation of the differences can be found here.

If you need a month for your character to be born in, roll 1d12 and match your result to the following:

  • 1: January
  • 2: February
  • 3: March
  • 4: April
  • 5: May
  • 6: June
  • 7: July
  • 8: August
  • 9: September
  • 10: October
  • 11: November
  • 12: December

3.2  Size

This portion of the generator uses the size categories on the 'Souls RPG Guide as a general reference. If your roll result puts you in the "tiny" or "giant" category, immediately roll on the Tiny-Size or Giant-Size Complications' tables to determine a disability for your character. These categories reflect individuals with dwarfism and gigantism and the complications thereof, respectively.

Roll 1d10 to determine the following:

  • 1-2: Tiny
  • 3-4: Small
  • 5-6: Normal/Average
  • 7-8: Large
  • 9-10: Giant

Tiny-Size Complications

If you rolled "tiny" on the size chart, please roll to give your character one of the following complications associated with dwarfism:

  • 1-2: Small Limbs - One or more of your limbs is too short for your body. You might struggle above the ground on stubby legs, or your hind legs might drag because they're malformed. Movement is difficult, and performing certain tasks in Optime (such as using a too-small hand to hold an ax) are significantly more difficult.
  • 3-4: Difficult Movement - Your muscles or bones are underdeveloped or weaker than normal. You find it hard to move, and may suffer breaks and strains more easily than other Luperci. This can make hunting or keeping up with a pack more laborious and dangerous than usual. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)
  • 5-6: Reproductive Difficulties - You may be infertile or have a missed or delayed puberty. Children may be impossible for you to conceive without a surrogate. If your character has a womb, they're likely to lack the hip and muscle development that makes childbirth possible, to the point of risking death during the act.
  • 7-8: Joint and Nerve Issues - Your joints and nerves are affected by being born too small. Early-onset arthritis, scoliosis, and chronic pain are all possible conditions for a character to have. Shifting to each form may be uncomfortable to downright agonizing, and some might overuse or abuse substances in order to cope with the effects. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)
  • 9-10: Organ Dysfunction - Your body's too small for some of your organs or your organs are too big for your body. You may be short of breath and asthmatic from weak lungs, or struggle with endurance and blood pressure due to heart trouble. Individuals with this condition may not live very long, feeling the effects of age far sooner than most. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)

Giant-Size Complications

If you rolled "giant" on the size chart, please roll to give your character one of the following complications associated with gigantism:

  • 1-2: Joint and Nerve Issues - Your joints and nerves are affected by being born too big. Abnormal bone growth, scoliosis, and chronic pain are all possible conditions for a character to have. Shifting to each form may be uncomfortable to downright agonizing, and some might overuse or abuse substances in order to cope with the effects. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)
  • 3-4: Reduced Lifespan - It is a known fact that larger canines (such as Great Danes) do not have a long lifespan. For all intents and purposes, treat your character as being two years older than they actually are. In addition to this, your character is unlikely to live past ten.
  • 5-6: Lesser Endurance - The character's energy and endurance levels run out faster than most. Long periods of exertion are difficult, as are long-distance periods of running or moving quickly. As they have more body for their systems to maintain, they also require more food than other individuals. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)
  • 7-8: A World Too Small - The world isn't made for a character of your size. Doorframes, den holes, and other entrances might require ducking or maneuvering into, or are impossible to access entirely. Small buildings may be uncomfortably cramped, and smaller prey can easily slip through a hole not fit for the character. Horses and riding animals may also be unable to carry the character due to weight.
  • 9-10: Organ Dysfunction - Your body's too big for some of your organs or your organs are too big for your body. You may be short of breath and asthmatic from weak lungs, or struggle with endurance and blood pressure due to heart trouble. Individuals with this condition may not live very long, feeling the effects of age far sooner than most. You also can't roll higher than a 3 on the Fitness Chart (see the Fitness section below.)

3.3  Fitness

Your character's fitness is a measure of their physical stamina. While most canines are able to stay in shape due to exercise-heavy lifestyles, some may lead more sedentary lives. Fitness levels can change at any point during the course of your RP - this is merely your character's starting fitness or current fitness trends. You must also keep in mind realism rules when judging fitness, as even the fittest canine needs to stop for rest during travel. (The Comprehensive RPG Guide for 'Souls has more on distances, fatigue and traveling at the Travel page.) Roll 1d6 to determine the following:

  • 1: Weak. The character can barely run less than a mile in a short burst. They are often exhausted by long walks, and can maintain trot speed for less than ten minutes at a time. They tire easily after small efforts, and can barely push, lift or pull something without getting winded. The character may barely get enough exercise, be severely obese or emaciated, and/or is possibly recovering from/has a severe illness.
  • 2: Poor. The character can run for a mile in a short burst. They get a little tired after a long walk or short trot. They can push, lift or pull and exert themselves to a small degree, but not without some huffing and puffing. The character may get limited exercise, is overweight or underweight to a degree, and/or is possibly recovering from/has a mild to moderate illness.
  • 3: Average. The character can run up to two miles in a short burst. Long walks may not bother them, and they could trot for a moderate amount of time before getting tired. They can push, pull or lift an average weight load for their breed and/or species makeup. The character may have an average amount of exercise, is fit or only slightly underweight or overweight, and/or is of normal health or only slightly unhealthy. This is the highest fitness level characters with certain Tiny/Giant size complications (see the Tiny/Giant Complications set of tables above) can achieve.
  • 4: Good. The character may be able to run up to two and a half miles in a short burst, but it will wind them. Long walks are no problem for them, and they can trot moderate-to-long distances before getting tired. They can push, pull or lift more than the average weight load for their breed and/or species makeup. The character may get a lot of exercise, have a profession or lifestyle that requires being fit, and/or is very healthy.
  • 5: Excellent. This character can run up to three miles - a half-mile more than the average wolf - in a short burst. (Such an act will tire them, however.) Walking is no issue for them, and they can trot for long distances before needing to stop. They are able to push, pull or lift heavy loads that the average member of their breed/species can barely lift. The character may be dedicated to fitness (such as a bodybuilder), is the peak weight and muscle mass for their kind, and/or has a bloodline that's naturally hale.
  • 6: Re-roll to get a different number, or pick a fitness level yourself from the list provided.

3.4  Build

Your character's build determines how delicate, fine, thick or durable their body is. It has nothing to do with fitness or weight, instead being inspiration for a character's appearance or natural talents. For example, someone with a sleek, speedy build may find purpose in racing, while someone with a chunky, solid build might become a sturdy warrior. Note that builds don't refer to the facial structure of a dog, only its body; a section for facial conformation may be included in the future. Roll 1d6 to determine the following:

  • 1: Ectomorph. This character's build is long, light and slender. Their limbs may be long or even lanky. Some may describe this build as "dainty", "slim", or "petite". Examples of dog breeds with ectomorphic builds include Borzois, Whippets, Greyhounds, and Salukis.
  • 2: Ecto-Mesomorph. This character's build is still light and long, but the legs are thicker and the muscles more developed. Their extremities (tail, paws, fingers, etc.) may not taper as an ectomorph's does.
  • 3: Mesomorph. The intermediate build of dog breeds, mesomorphs are medium-bodied and show decent muscle. Their limbs are rectangular, and are neither noticeably long nor short compared to their bodies. Some may describe this build as "moderate", "solid", or "all-around". Examples of dog breeds with mesomorphic builds include Beagles, German Shepherds/Alsatians, Pointers, and Labrador Retrievers.
  • 4: Meso-Endomorph. This character is blocker than a mesomorph, with thicker bones and a rounder torso. Their limbs may look slightly shorter than the rest of their body. Their extremities (tails, paws, fingers, etc.) may look a little rounded or spoon-like.
  • 5: Endomorph. This a thick, bulky character with a strong, heavy bone structure. Their limbs may be shorter and stockier than their body, but not to the point of being chondrodystrophic. (Chondrodystrophic builds are those of long-bodied, short-legged breeds such as Corgis and Dachshunds. These are now extinct in the 'Soulsverse due to natural selection.) Examples of dog breeds with endomorphic builds include Clumber Spaniels, Shar Peis, Mastiffs, and Bernese Mountain Dogs.
  • 6: Either reroll to get one of the builds listed above, or pick one you like from the list.

4.  Eye Color

Roll 1d10 and match your result to the following table:

  • 1: Brown
  • 2: Orange
  • 3: Yellow
  • 4: Green
  • 5: Blue
  • 6: Gray
  • 7: Red
  • 8: Purple
  • 9: Pink
  • 10: Your character is odd-eyed, having one eye that's differently-colored from the other. Roll twice, with the first result being the left eye and the second result being the right.

5.  Coat Color and Markings

This is not an exhaustive list of all the coat colors that exist for canines. Instead, it uses a canine color guide on 'Souls to create a simple way to come up with an appearance for your character, which you can customize and play around with later. A great website that goes more in-depth to dog color genetics is Dog Coat Colour Genetics.

To determine a coat color for your character, roll 1d10 and match your result to the following chart:

  • 1-2: Solid Colors
  • 3-4: Wild-Type Colors
  • 4-5: Body Markings
  • 6-7: Merle
  • 7-8: Tick & Roan
  • 9-10: Your character has a marking of some kind in addition to their base coat color. Roll a 1d8 to determine the base coat, and then go down to the Markings chart to see what marking your character has. Note that, if your character has a dark marking on dark coat or a light marking on a light coat, it may be hard to spot or not be seen at all.

Once you have rolled for the category of coat color your character will have, proceed to the charts to below to determine the specific color.

5.1  Solid Colors

Because of the number of solid colors listed on the RPG Guide's chart, they had to be broken up into two sets. Roll 1d4 and match your result to the following:

  • 1-2: Set One
  • 3-4: Set Two

Set One

Roll 1d8 to determine the following:

  • 1: Black
  • 2: White
  • 3: Gray
  • 4: Fawn
  • 5: Lilac/Isabella
  • 6: Red/Sable
  • 7: Red/Gold
  • 8: Cream

Set Two

Roll 1d6 to determine the following:

  • 1: Blue
  • 2: Chocolate
  • 3: Liver
  • 4: Yellow
  • 5: Seal
  • 6: Albino (white with pink skin and red, blue or purple eyes due to lack of pigment; technically not a realistic color in most dogs, but 'Souls permits albino canines)

5.2  Wild-Type Colors

Roll 1d6 to determine the following:

5.3  Body Markings

Roll 1d8 to determine the following:

  • 1: Sable Tricolor
  • 2: Red/Sable Tricolor
  • 3: Spotted Tricolor
  • 4: Liver Tricolor
  • 5: Black Tricolor
  • 6: Black & Tan
  • 7: Liver & White
  • 8: Liver & Tan

5.4  Merle

Due to the severe health complications associated with and to chart to map to a d12, double merle doesn't appear as an option on this table. Roll 1d12 to determine the following:

  • 1: Blue Merle
  • 2: Red/Sable Merle
  • 3: Lilac Merle
  • 4: Light Merle
  • 5: Tan & Red Merle
  • 6: Tweed Merle
  • 7: Brindle Merle (brindling will appear on colored patches in coat)
  • 8: Harlequin
  • 9: Sable Merle
  • 10: Liver Merle
  • 11: Tan & Blue Merle
  • 12: Agouti Merle (merle will be patchy and scattered in the coat)

5.5  Brindle

Roll 1d10 to determine the following:

  • 1: Black Brindle
  • 2: Red Brindle
  • 3: Light Brindle
  • 4: Brindle
  • 5: Fawn Brindle
  • 6: Dark Brindle
  • 7: Liver Brindle
  • 8: Silver Brindle
  • 9: Brindle & White
  • 10: Brindle & Tan (body will appear solid, brindling will appear on tan points)

5.6  Tick & Roan

Roll 1d8 to determine the following:

  • 1: Bluetick
  • 2: Bluetick (Diluted)
  • 3: Redtick (Diluted)
  • 4: Redtick
  • 5: Black & Tan Tick
  • 6: Blue Roan
  • 7: Red Roan
  • 8: Liver Roan

5.7  Markings

If you rolled a 9 or 10 on the first Coat Color and Markings table, roll 1d12 to see what kind of marking your character has:

  • 1: Countershading
  • 2: Urajiro
  • 3: Grizzle/Domino
  • 4: Dark Mask
  • 5: Reverse Mask (a pale-colored mask with dark lips and/or edges, as opposed to a dark mask)
  • 6: Saddle
  • 7: Minimal White
  • 8: Extreme White
  • 9: Irish-Spotted
  • 10: Piebald
  • 11: Extreme Piebald
  • 12: Spotted (resembling a Dalmatian or English Setter's usual coat colors)

6.  Personality

Though there are many personality systems that can be used to develop a character, I find the Enneagram of Personality maps nicely to a d10. The idea is that there are nine points of personality, each numbered as such and sometimes influenced by adjacent personality types. To determine your character's Enneagram type, roll 1d10 and consult the following chart:

  • 1: The Reformer - "Principled, Purposeful, Self-Controlled, and Perfectionistic"
  • 2: The Helper - "Demonstrative, Generous, People-Pleasing, and Possessive"
  • 3: The Achiever - "Adaptive, Excelling, Driven, and Image-Conscious"
  • 4: The Individualist - "Expressive, Dramatic, Self-Absorbed, and Temperamental"
  • 5: The Investigator - "Perceptive, Innovative, Secretive, and Isolated"
  • 6: The Loyalist - "Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious"
  • 7: The Enthusiast - "Spontaneous, Versatile, Distractible, and Scattered"
  • 8: The Challenger - "Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational"
  • 9: The Peacemaker - "Receptive, Reassuring, Agreeable, and Complacent"
  • 10: In addition to the above, your character has a noticeable wing, which brings characteristics from an adjacent Enneagram type into your own. Roll to determine a base type, and then pick a type adjacent to the result to act as your character's wing. For example, a character with the Peacemaker type may have a Type 1 (Reformer) Wing or a Type 8 (Challenger) Wing.

An Enneagram type may also be described as having an instinctual variant, which refers to how they interact with the world around them in regards to their type. Roll 1d6 to determine your character's variant, if you so choose:

  • 1-2: Self-Preservation - Focuses on comfort and well-being of the self. Has a low energy level and stoic tendencies.
  • 3-4: Attraction - Also known as the sexual variant, though this is a bit misleading. This type focuses on intimate relationships and one-to-one contact with others, and can be temperamental and rule-breaking.
  • 5-6: Social - Focuses on being in a group and working as a team. Wants to fit in with the others and have some sort of status.

7.  Alignment

Originally a Dungeons & Dragons concept, alignment has become a popular, simplified way to explain a character's moral and ethical stances. It is defined by combining a character's view on order vs. chaos with their views on good vs. evil. Orderly characters respect tradition, law and authority; chaotic characters respect their conscience, free will, and new ideas. Good characters seek to protect life and the innocent; evil characters will debase and destroy them. An in-depth analysis and explanation of alignment and the variants thereof can be found at EasyDamus.

To determine your character's alignment, roll 1d10 and match your result to the following:

  • 1: Lawful Good - Does what a good person should or is expected to.
  • 2: Neutral Good - Does their best to do what a good person would do.
  • 3: Chaotic Good - Does whatever their conscience says is good.
  • 4: Lawful Neutral - Does what a code of conduct directs them to do.
  • 5: True Neutral - Does whatever seems to be wise to do.
  • 6: Chaotic Neutral - Does whatever they want.
  • 7: Lawful Evil - Does whatever they want without regard for others, but only within the boundaries of a certain code of conduct.
  • 8: Neutral Evil - Does whatever they can get away with.
  • 9: Chaotic Evil - Does whatever they want to satisfy their vices and/or a need for destruction, regardless of the consequences.
  • 10: Your character is on the border between or a mix of two alignment systems. Roll twice to get two different alignments, and then consider what makes your character lean toward one alignment or another.

8.  Skills and Knowledge

All characters have some sort of skill they're good at. It can be difficult to decide on what your character's knowledge and skill levels. One list below, adapted from the RPG Design Wiki's Skill List, shows skills that could be learned or utilized by a Luperci in the 'Souls setting. The other list illustrates skill levels and what they mean, and provides a way to pick the expertise of a certain skill. Rerolling is suggested, that said, if too many skills are proven to be of a high level. Having too many expert skills for a character may wreck the character's plausibility.

8.1  Character Skill Level

Levels of ability are listed from being least knowledgeable about a skill to most knowledgeable. To figure out how adept a character is with a certain skill, roll 1d6 on the following table:

  • 1: Dabbler/Amateur/Hobbyist/Beginner: This character dabbles in a certain skill. They aren't seriously committed and have a surface-level knowledge of the skill at best.
  • 2: Student/Pupil/In Training/Apprentice: This character has begun to understand deeper concepts and techniques regarding a skill. They have a grasp of the basics, but are not yet educated enough to use advanced techniques or methods confidently or knowledgably.
  • 3: Advanced/Journeyman/Professional/Trained: This character understands and uses a skill with competence and understanding. They are able to teach others this skill, and have a consistently-average or better level of success with this skill.
  • 4: Master/Expert/Well-Trained/Skilled: This character is a master of their craft. They not only can teach others this skill, but are practiced and knowledgeable enough to perform risky or difficult techniques in their field. They are likely to pioneer new ideas or find new solutions to problems that exist for their peers of the same skill.
  • 5:Talented/Prodigy/Natural/Gifted: Your character has a natural knack for a certain skill. They learn it faster and do it better than someone who isn't as inclined toward a certain ability or knowledge. Roll once to determine a skill level, make a note that your character has a talent for it, and then upgrade its current level to the next. The maximum level you can obtain with this option is the Master/Expert/Well-Trained/Skilled level.
  • 6:Terrible/Untalented/Unable To Learn/Struggling: This is a skill that, for whatever reason, your character may never be able to learn. They may have something physical that interferes with performing this skill, such as a blind character unable to tell plants apart by sight. They may be naturally inept at a skill, and will have to practice long and hard to obtain any level of competency. It's recommended that, unless a skill is practiced for years and years, that the character's skill never goes higher than the Dabbler or Student level.

8.2  Skills

Adapted from the Wiki mentioned earlier in this section, these skills are ones likely to be in use. A short description follows each to give you an idea of what the skill covers or entails. You are free to adapt, change, and play around with a skill's concept or description as you please. Because they cover broad categories, you may want to put down what your character does with a skill. A falconer may have Animal Lore (Falcons) to show they specifically know about falcons. An athlete may have Jumping (Long Distance) to show they're trained in jumps over wide gaps.

It's recommended that a character, when starting out, doesn't have more than five skills. It's also recommended they don't have more than one skill they're an Expert in unless they've been on the board for a while. This allows a realistic progression of their abilities and knowledge to happen. It also provides room for character development and future, skill-related plots. If you are uncomfortable or unsure about a skill, reroll or manually pick something else from the list. Please also note that the list isn't strictly alphabetical - I messed up the ordering in a few places, and it took too long to try and sort everything back out.

Roll a 1d10 to determine which set of suggested skills to pick from. There were too many to map to a single die, so I broke the skills up into various sets. Once you have a set of skills you can pick from, roll a 1d20 and match the number to the corresponding skill in each section.

The options for sets are:

  • 1: Set One
  • 2: Set Two
  • 3: Set Three
  • 4: Set Four
  • 5: Set Five
  • 6: Set Six
  • 7: Set Seven
  • 8: Set Eight
  • 9-10: Either reroll or pick your choice of skill set

Set One

  • 1. Acrobatics - The ability to perform feats of dexterity and agility. Professional gymnastics, acrobatic stunts, and parkour are all examples of this skill. This skill may also be called "Gymnastics".
  • 2. Acting - The ability to perform dramatically and convey behavior and identity as if the individual is in a play, book, etc. This skill may also be called “Playing Pretend”.
  • 3. Alchemy - The ability to mix, identify, and concoct liquids and mixtures that can either harm or heal. Making simple poisons, creating flammable oils, and brewing a weak liquid medicine for a cough are all examples of Alchemy. It may also refer to a character that studies chemistry in general, and the skill may also be known as "Chemistry".
  • 4. Anatomy - The ability to identify parts of a living body (such as certain organs and muscles), their locations in a body, and their functions.
  • 5. Ancient/Dead Language - The ability to speak an old or dead language. Check with the 'Souls Assemblage first before you take this ability to see if a dead language could be spoken by Luperci. Otherwise, reroll for a new skill.
  • 6. Animal Handling - The ability to safely and competently handle, work with, and capture an animal.
  • 7. Animal Lore - The knowledge of an animal's habits, diet, habitat, breeding season, etc. This skill may also be known as "Animal Knowledge" or "Zoology".
  • 8. Animal Training - The ability to safely and competently teach or show an animal how to do something.
  • 9. Anthropology - The study of societies, their cultures, and how they have developed.
  • 10. Appraising - The ability to gauge an item or good's value, authenticity, make, origin, etc.
  • 11. Arcane Lore - Secret knowledge belonging to a closed sect or cult that isn't available to outsiders. This skill may also be known as "Cult Knowledge" or "Secret Knowledge".
  • 12. Armorer - The ability to create armor and other protective items of wear to reduce/prevent damage.
  • 13. Artistry - The ability to exercise a creative skill such as writing or drawing. Miscellaneous art skills (such as Weaving) not specifically listed below also go here.
  • 14. Astronomy - The study of stars, planets and objects of the night sky, as well as their constellations and movements in the heavens.
  • 15. Balancing - The ability to keep one's balance in tricky or dangerous situations. One such example could be trying to balance on a thin, slippery log over a river.
  • 16. Barber - The art of styling, cutting and designing the look of hair (or fur). This skill may also be known as “Grooming” or “Hair Cutting”.
  • 17. Barter - The ability to haggle and negotiate for better trading and goods, as well as one's general sense of a thing's value. This skill may also be known as "Haggling".
  • 18. Blackmail - The ability to discover and use others' secrets and lies for one's personal gain. Intimidating or coercing someone into doing one's dirty work is a use of this skill.
  • 19. Blacksmith - The ability to create tools and goods with a forge and various metals. Making horseshoes for equines is an example of blacksmithing at work.

  • 74. Geology - The knowledge of substances that make up the Earth such as rocks, gems, and ores.

These include the history of a pack, a place, a family, etc. Please note that human history is mostly unknown and shrouded in myth to Luperci and non-Luperci alike, so if you want your character to know anything about humanity, it's best to check with the 'Souls Assemblage to make sure any knowledge about humans is plausible.

  • 83. Intrigue - The knowledge of spying, assassination, information-gathering, counter-spying operations, and finding out enemy secrets. It differs from skills like Stealth and Concealment in that it focuses on the art of being a spy or assassin, not a character's general stealth capabilities.

It differs from the lasso skill in that it covers the use and making of rope in general, not the use of something specific like a lasso.
  • 120. Science - The knowledge of a discipline or area of study relating to the structure or behaviors of natural and physical phenomena. It's a broad category that covers anything not specifically put on this list. This means that Astronomy and Herbalism wouldn't be under this skill, but something like general physics might. To keep your character's knowledge level realistic and even, it's good to pick a science that your character knows in particular or specializes in.

Set Seven

Carving wood and stone falls under the "Carpentry" and "Stonemasonry" skills, respectively - everything else goes here.

  • 124. Seamanship - The knowledge, skills, practice and techniques involved in living at sea and maintaining one's life and crew there.

A character with a high Soldering skill may have only poor or fair combat skills, but knows how to follow orders and understand a chain of command.

  • 138. Stealth - The knowledge of how to hide safely and move, act, and travel without being seen or heard.

It also differs from Mythology in that, while Mythology might know the stories and symbolism of a religion, Theology delves into things like rites, rules of conduct in a worship space, the clergy, laws and taboos, etc.
  • 149. Thieving - The knowledge of how to steal, pick locks, break into a house, and other such acts. It differs from Slight of Hand in that it refers to thieving in general, not how nimble one's fingers are. This skill may also be called "Crime" or "Larceny".

It differs from Alchemy or Herbalism in that, while Alchemy is used in the brewing of non-alcoholic liquids in general and Herbalism is all about plant uses, Toxicology concerns anything that might be poisonous. Poisons made by a character with good Toxicology may also be more potent than if Alchemy was used.
  • 152. Tracking - The knowledge of how to follow, discern and understand trails, traces, and prints left behind by a group or an individual to find out where they're going or what they're doing. This skill may also be known as "Shadowing", "Stalking", or "Following".

Characters with this skill might also be able to throw their voices or perform ventriloquism.

  • 156. Weapons Mastery - The knowledge of how to use melee and short-range, non-projectile weaponry safely and effectively. This category covers any sort of melee weapon, from maces to swords to clubs. I highly recommend you pick a specific weapon or series of weapons for your character to specialize in - it keeps their power level in check, and also adds to the realism of a character. This skill may also be known as "Melee", "Close-Range Fighting", "Dueling", or "Melee Fighting".
  • 157. Weaponsmithing - The knowledge of how to create weapons from metal using a forge. Weaponsmiths understand how to temper and work metal to make the best killing implements they can.

  • 158. Weaving - The knowledge of creating goods and items by lacing threads together (as opposed to stitching them). Baskets, bags, clothes, blankets, and shawls are all examples of items that can be made using Weaving.
