Character creation follows a pretty typical pattern. Each character has an Origin, a Class, and various character [[trait]]s. The origin consists of a species, such as Human or Drake, a specialty, such as Aristocrat or Fighter, and the choice of two [[origin skills]]. Splinter races are defined by the use of Species Feats, such as Elemental Heritage denoting a special affinity with earth, water, wind, fire, or some other element, or the Hill-Born feat, which turns a standard, or mountain,[[dwarf]] into a hill dwarf. |
