Wizard:#

Highly Skilled: Start with 7 ranks in skills, with up to two ranks in each skill. 📖 and 🔮 are recommended.

Sorcery: Start with 2 Fast and 2 Slow Spells.

Arcane Defense: Privately describe one magical defense on your person and how it could be overcome. It is quite hard to kill you while this defense remains.

Starting Resources - Choose 2:

• Fragments of two magic items of your own design
• 2 counts of a rank 3 unique material
• 7 coin

Shaded Fire: You take five private actions each month. Your final action goes last.

Multifocused: You can have two minor ambitions at a time (You still start with just one).

Excellent Personal Magic: You can store up to three of each mana during a given season. You can cast through your person.

Dealer of Wisdom: At the start of each season, during Tidings, gain 2 insights.

Strange Allies: Describe 2 rogue armies that are on opposite sides of the map, one rank 2 and one rank 3, such as the protectors of independent towns, reclusive fantastical creatures, or wild elementals. You have friendly relations with them, to the extent that you can take control of them for one season without spending an action. You can also negotiate with them on other seasons as an action to convince them that working with you is in their interests, granting you control over them for an amount of time based on the degree of success. Note that you have a support limit of 0, so controlling them across seasons can become very expensive.

Far Traveler: You have a personal mobility of 6.

*️⃣Wander: Move across the map. You may spend a point of movement up to once per hex to gain a mana of that hex’s type. Difficulty: the amount that the movement exceeds your mobility.

Advanced Perks#

Dragon:#

Raider: Start with 2 ranks in ⚔️
Moderately Skilled: Start with 5 ranks in other skills, with up to two ranks in each skill.

Awesome Power: You are a premium ⭐titanic rank 4 army with 4 units and a terrestrial element, such as an adult dragon, a mutated giant basilisk, an avenging angel, or an ancient giant. You are Loyal only to yourself. This stat block is enough to fight toe to toe with most rogue armies or the defenses of small towns, but the full force of an opposed power can usually stop you. For now.

Dread Growth: At the start of each season, during Tidings, gain 1 unit in your army, keeping track of the maximum reached. If you are less than the maximum, gain 2 instead.

Startling Immunity: Describe one magical defense on your person and how it could be overcome. It is quite hard to kill you directly while this defense remains, and when you would be slain in battle you instead retreat, with all but one mortal wound, to a hex of the GM’s choice.

Resources - None. All you have is the strength of your body and your avarice for the wealth of others.

Unsubtle Acts: You take four public actions each month.

Personal Magic: You can store up to two of each mana during a given season. You can cast through your person.

*️⃣Trample Terrain: Move publicly across the map. You may spend a hex of movement and damage a feature (such as dungeons, walls, or industries) when you leave a hex to gain one mana of that hex’s element. The difficulty is the amount that the movement exceeds your mobility, plus the total level of opposed armies in those hexes.
*️⃣⚔️Slaughter: Reduce the population of a claimed town you are in by 1, then gain Fear or Respect equal to the new population. Apply 2 “Uprising”. Difficulty: The stacks of Uprising and Depopulated + the total units of opposed armies in this town.

🆚
Ironmind: Routed units in your personal army still count for combat checks (but if all of you routs, you still must rout)
