Choose one or more templates for the Adventurer's species, background, early education, and starting professions, adjusting the starting Attribute Scores up and down, while adding starting skills and other abilities.

Templates may have a cost to be paid from a starting pool in order to purchase them, or Guides may place limits on the amount and selection of Templates which may be chosen from to suit the particular story or setting.

Players may draw from Templates to create or design these parts of their Adventurer:

• Species
• Origins
• Backgrounds
• Education
• Professions

Each Template may modify different combinations of the following elements of the Adventurer:

• Attributes
• Advantages and Disadvantages
• Skills
• Special Effects (SFX) abilities
• Starting Resources
• Starting Equipment
• Starting Connections

Adventurers usually will not use Templates for:

• Goals
• Motivations
• Attitudes
