The Misfits [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

The city of Ulentor is an important hub within the Lithien Kingdom. As such it has a diverse and active population with merchants, crafters, and guilds. It is here that a unique guild exists. It is a home for the outcasts and unordinary. And it is a guild gainfully employed as it accepts requests that other guilds find too difficult or weird for their tastes. And due to the extraordinary abilities of their members, these tasks are often completed. This guild goes by the name The Misfits.

---

You've always been an outsider to society. Very few interactions could be considered kind or even tolerant, but you have endured. It seems, despite your odd nature, there are powers above that prevent your outright persecution. Still, there are places that are more welcoming and you have found yourself within its walls. This place is called Ulentor. You had heard of this city, but never imagined such a diverse place could exist, or that so many different individuals could freely walk the streets without being singled out. You had heard of a guild that would welcome some of you skills and uniqueness and that is why you have found yourself here. Now you just have to navigate this city and find this guild.

Initiative: Dexterity + Combat + Combat Specialization (Specialization is only included if you are holding a corresponding weapon, this is the only time Combat and Combat Specialization is rolled together. This roll adds all dice together and ignores Hitches.)
Health will be handled by complications tagged "Health". If the complication tries to step up above a d12, the player is considered knocked out and gains a permanent complication tagged "Scar".

Distinctions:
Four Distinctions each start at d8. They each have a Hinderance SFX (treat the associated die as a d4 before adding it to the dice pool to gain a PP) and a Benefit SFX (spend a PP to step-up or double a die in the dice pool).
1. Personality - Who are you? What are your interests? How do you interact with the world and others?
2. Background - Where did you grow-up? Who raised you? What was your childhood like?
3. Professional Experience - What have you been doing before you joined the guild? What skills have you learned to earn a living?
4. Racial Uniqueness - What do you look like? What is you most distinct physical characteristic? What makes people treat you like an outcast?

Benefit List: (non-exhaustive)
Step-up a die for the rest of the scene.
Double the largest die in the dice pool.
Reroll a die after rolling the dice pool.
Step down a complication (cannot effect Scars).

Skills:
Skills are broken down into categories and those are further broken down into specializations. Specializations can be upgraded into Expertise and further into Mastery. Characters can start with only one skill at Expertise.
Each character starts with 10 points to spend in skills.
Untrained skill categories are d4.
One point to become trained in a category which set it to a d6.
One point in a trained category unlocks a Specialization in that category which grants a d8. This can be done multiple times to become specialized in other actions in a skill category.
One point in a Specialization will upgrade it to an Expertise which sets it to a d10.

-Normal gear (d6) costs 1 Wealth.
-Fine Gear (d8) costs 2 Wealth.
