Varian Soto

VARIAN SOTO

WILDBORNE KATARI RANGER

Character Overview

They take a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach. Any problem that can’t be solved with a bow, isn’t a problem yet.

BREAKDOWN

Community: Varian is part of the Wildborne community, meaning they were raised by a clan hidden deep within the forest.

Ancestry: They are a Katari, giving them soft fur, triangular ears, and a tail.

Class & Subclass: As a Wayfinder Ranger, they can often identify the shortest, most direct path to a place they’ve visted before.

Experience: Varian has the experiences “Nature’s Friend,” “Deadly Aim,” and “Tracker.” They will be able to utilize these in play when they apply.

Weapon: They wield a shortbow that can hit targets in far range and when successful, deals 2d6+3 physical damage.

Question: What are the most deadly aerial predators in this region?

The Basics

Duality Dice: Two d12 dice of different colors. Choose one to represent Hope and one to represent Fear.

Action Rolls: Most rolls you make will be action rolls. They use the Duality Dice. Roll them together, add any modifiers that apply, and tell the GM the total, as well as what die rolled higher. “I rolled a 10 and a 7, that’s a 17 with Fear!”

Hope & Fear: When you roll with Hope, mark a Hope on your character sheet. You’ll be able to spend any Hope you have to aid future rolls for you and your allies. When you roll with Fear, the GM can choose to take a Fear as their GM move. They can spend Fear to instigate or accentuate challenges in the scene.

Attack Rolls: When you make an attack on a target, it works just like an action roll, but you’ll use the character trait the weapon or spell calls for as your modifier. On a success, you’ll usually make a damage roll.

Damage Rolls: Roll your damage dice and add their values together. Then tell the GM the value and type of damage you’re doing.

“I rolled a 5 plus 3, that’s 8 points of physical damage.”

These mechanics and more will be covered during the coming adventure!
