Character creation

Sorry that was my bad, you're absolutely right about 12=0 mod

No worries. Just wanted to be sure. 🙂

Given that it seems to lack a function other than flavor, and because windyridge rolled the same Mark of the Grave, I'm going to reroll that one. Dripping stagnant water doesn't seem to fit the burnt witch.

Makes sense. That's also why I haven't rolled on those optional tables yet. With my luck, it will come up with teeth knocked out.

Yeah I switched my emotional scar from a gash on the face to a gash on the throat since it fit my having been sacrificed far better.

Zora came from a family of witches, the third daughter of a third daughter. Upon her new birth, a gasp of breath from the burnt pyre, she found so few things. The chain that once held her to that damned pillar. The insects finding refuge in her ruined body. The gifts given by the flame. And some fleeting memories.

- She remembers the smell of her herb collection, earthy and spiced and overwhelming.

- She remembers the knife entering her face to silence her pleas for mercy.

- She remembers the sound of her lover's voice as he spoke forgotten words of betrayal.

Nice

I can imagine someone tossing a bucket of water over her in an attempt to save though :)

But yeah, uniqueness is more fun.

I shall look into mechanical things this evening.

Everyone, please create up a PC character sheet if you haven't done so yet.
In the forum is a post with a sheet you can copy as a custom sheet.
If you don't know how, please just submit a blank custom sheet and I shall help you set it up.

Optional Mark of the Grave

Pallid

My class has this: Name the monarch from whose blood you hail. You get +2 to all rolls against them, their bloodline and beings in their service.

I can just make up a monarch, there is no limitation to that?

Yes, feel free to make up something. There are lots of noble families and small kingdoms

Ok will do, thanks!

Decided to go with an existing kingdom from the book but made up the family and managed to tie in the Mark of the Grave emotional scar of dripping water.

Magdalene comes from the kingdom of Kergus and was the older sister to Anthelia. Magdelene was next in line for the throne but her sister had her killed. Her father was King Ulfer and very heartbroken upon hearing of her demise. Mag, as he used to affectionately call her, vowed that she would murder her sister as soon as she realized she had come back from the grave. Her father's tears drip out of her gravestone and will continue to do so until she is avenged.

Mag has been submitted for your review.

Lila - Doomed Romantic

Name the person who hurt you most; you always know the rough direction and distance to them: William

Inescapable, because:

1: You can walk up walls on your feet and fingertips like a lizard.

Items (d12, d12, d6)
1. A pet dead crow, affectionate. d4+2 HP.
2. A prayer-book
3. Backpack for 7 items

Starting memories

A. William. Tall, handsome, strong. The way he looked at her for the first time. How her heart beat faster
B. William. The rage. He said she was no maiden. The bitter sting of his hands. "You will bleed for me", he said. She did.
C. William. Empty eyes. Her blood on his blade.

Okay, the dark muse finally struck.

Jötna was from a servant family who served royalty (GM can choose where). Her family worked seven days a week in the kitchens, the laundry, and cleaning. The only days she got off from work were when she was told to work nights. She and every female in her family were passed around among the noble men and women as sex slaves.

Memories:
1- One working night, a particularly nasty couple decided to see if they could get her nipples to become as candles. They poured hot wax in slow drips to hold the tiny wick. After their success in lighting the makeshift candles, they began their lovemaking and forgot about Jötna as the flames reached flesh. They increased the sounds of their own ecstasy to drown out her cries of pain.

2-She recalls sneaking into the larder many nights to steal butter biscuits.

3-She remembers the night her mother didn’t come home. She lay awake on her floor pad imaging the worst. That was the night she knew she must tell someone.

Loving to see where this all is going. It is quite dark really what you're all brewing up. But that is the nature of the game :)

Not everyone has submitted a sheet yet or completed everything.
So let's give it a bit for all to have time to finish this.

So far on the mechanics all seems fine.

@Windyridge
Being the older sister of Anthelia is bound to be interesting :)

So I see therecusant also rolled a pet crow, might I reroll my first item so we aren't walking around with an undead aviary?

Sure. Its more fun to be unique
