🧝 Sample characters

Full 50-point builds you can read end-to-end — concept, statistics, skills, and the traits that tie it all together. Use them as inspiration or as ready-made heroes for a one-shot.

What lives here

Each entry below is a complete worked example: a clear concept, all the numbers spent against the same 50-point starting budget, and a short note on the trade-offs that shaped it. The mechanics themselves stay on the topic pages — these are the case studies.

Why a separate area? Examples grow over time and break the flow of a short topic page. Splitting them out lets each build breathe — and lets you compare them side by side.

Available builds

  • The ex-soldier — a discharged veteran with weapon skills, basic camp craft, and a few honest professions. A dependable front-line generalist.
  • The borderland scout — a wilderness ranger built for the bow, stealth, and reading sign. Eyes and ears of the party.
  • The cleric — a faith-trained healer with a Priestly power pool, lore, and languages. Keeps the party upright and handles the bookwork.

More examples will arrive as the format settles.

How to read a build

  • Concept — one sentence so you know who this person is.
  • Statistics — points spent on base stats and what each one buys.
  • Skills — grouped by purpose; the linked stat is in parentheses.
  • Traits — advantages and disadvantages, and what they cost or refund.
  • Totals — what is spent and what is left for the table to negotiate.
