Starting Heroes

Players should select one of the many (41) Careers listed below as their starting Hero's profession. 

They come with some basic starting equipment and a few gold coins, perhaps to buy some other equipment - see the Equipment Section. We need the Heroes to acquire better gear and loot to give them a basic reason to earn some gold and go on adventures to improve their gear.

Spellcasting Heroes will have a section of recommended spells and cantrips already on their Hero sheet. These are noted for the rapidity of play. - see the section on Spells and Magic to customise their starting known spells, the player may swap spells (of an equal circle of magic) at the GM's discretion.

Here is a list of the following Hero Careers - either roll randomly or select the type of Hero that the player would like to play for the adventure.

The player must decide on a name for the career and write a brief description of what the hero is about, then assign each or the Hero's Skill a Rank as listed below. The GM has the final say on whether or not the player-created Career can be used in his game.
