Cultural/Regional Experience Template

Posted on May 28, 2021 in Character-Experience D20 iCore

A character can realistically be just about any background and race allowed by the rules, limited by geolocation availability and/or cultural norms. However, many places have a society that produces a preponderance of a specific outlook and qualities that reflect an archetype or stereotype. Adopting this confers some small advantages, excludes some backgrounds and alters others – including characteristics, values and behaviors. It may also impose stat adjustments. The experience can help to inform the Character Stories and roleplaying opportunity during the game. Experiences are Advanced/Complex Concepts and Mechanics.

Requirements: Cultural Experience (and any benefits) can only be taken at the time of character creation – it assumes that the character was immersed in the culture as they were raised.

In the still cold of your thoughts, your mind is cleared of all things except one focus: your faith. In the unrelenting dark, a mote of light appears. The mote becomes 2, until a swirl dance before your inner eye. They swirl around you until you feel like a strand of energy connects to you as they enfold you in their embrace. Once the embrace of the divine has left you feel another conduit stretching across time and space, another bond between you and your faith.
