From the ranks of the paupers, comes the champion of kings!
Now you can explore the incredibly diverse possibilities of options available
to characters
through their backgrounds.
Talent Law provides GMs and players with a new system of customizing characters
through background options. In addition, GMs can now create new races that
are inherently balanced against all other races in the game!
In Talent Law you get;
• A point-based system for background options that allows characters to
select from:
– Special Training (e.g., Elvish Training, Natural Horseman, Outdoorsman,
etc.)
– Special Abilities (e.g., Lucky, Eye of
the Hawk, Blessed by War God, etc.)
— Physical Abilities (e.g., Infravision,
Resilient, Ambidexterity, etc.)
— Mental Abilities (e.g., Telepathy, Battle Reflexes, Photographic Memory,
etc.)
— Mystical Abilities (e.g., Destiny Sense, Look of Eagles, etc.).
• Complete guidelines for the GM to customize the background options to
his own world.
• A new system for determining starting wealth for characters based upon
their selected wealth levels (e.g., a character can choose to have a wealthy
back-ground
or a penniless peasant back-ground).
• A point-based system for a GM to use in creating new races for his world.
Using this system will result in new races being balanced when used with
all of the races currently in the RMSS.
