If you reallocate any points to a minor passion skill (1 flame) it becomes a major passion (2 flames).Ĭolony Vatgrown characters may not relocate any points AT ALL. If you reallocate 3 or more points, it becomes a major passion (2 flames). If you reallocate 1 or 2 points to a non-flame skill, it becomes a minor passion (1 flame). This represents your character's focus on some skills at the expense of others:ĭo not reduce any skill to 0 unless it is also penaltized by the backstory. If desired, reallocate up to 5 points from non-flame skills to other skills.

Pick a Childhood backstory (unless your character is supposed to be Colony Vatgrown).Ī +3 or more bonus granted by the backstory is a double flame.Ī +1 or +2 bonus granted by the backstory is a single flame.įor Colony Vatgrown characters, every skill is a minor passion (single flame), to represent the fact that they were genetically engineered. Note that a score of 0 represents either utter unwillingness to apply oneself in this area ('Art? I can't even draw a stick figure and don't want to learn!) or a crippling inability to engage in related tasks ('A dog mauled me once and I'm scared of all animals now!')

Note that the 'balanced' is in quotes, I'm sure someone will think that characters created via this method are OP regardless, but whatever. I don't like to use point limits, but I still try to have some kind of guardrails so my compulsion to create demigod supermen doesn't get completely out of hand. This is my own personal set of guidelines that I use when creating characters with Prepare Carefully.
