The Soloist - Just a Game Persona

You have always preferred to go your own way.

• You get: Keep it Simple – You gain a +1 Build.
• You choose 1:
  • Work Better Alone – Whenever you get into danger because you went off on your own, mark 1 Experience.
  • Survivability – You gain +1 Health.
  • Outside the Box – Due to often being solo, you have found alternative ways to complete some tasks. At the beginning of each adventure roll +Lore:
    • On a 10+ hold 3, on a 7-9 hold 1. Spend holds at any time during the adventure to ask the following questions:
      • Is there an easier way to get past this obstacle or challenge?
      • Is there something we can do here to make the next challenge easier?
      • Is there something that can happen which will make the next challenge harder?
      • Where will the next danger come from?
  • That’s Interesting – Once per adventure while on your own, you can request to stumble across something important. The GM will decide what. It might not relate directly to your current adventure.
  • Disengage – You are particularly skilled at getting out of danger. Describe how you’re escaping and roll +Build
    • On a 10+ you are out of the situation no problem.
    • On a 7-9 you either fail to escape or else something follows you.
    • On a failure you’re caught half-way out.
