The numbers in parentheses beside the table’s header, below, show the amount of Glory your ancestor gains simply by taking part in the event. Roll a d20 on this table to find your ancestor’s fate in that battle.) (Whenever an entry indicates that an ancestor fought in a battle, a separate table concerning that event follows. Once your grandfather dies, whether here or in a later event, simply calculate his Glory and proceed to year 460, where your father’s personal history begins.)ħ–20 = Fought at the Battle of Carlion. The Cause of Death (Male) table, in the noted sidebar, determines the exact cause. (This means your grandfather died outside of battle. Of special note is the fact that an heir is born into your family some time during this year - your father, eldest son of your grandfather.ġ = Died (see “Miscellaneous Causes of Death” sidebar). This is a typical year for its era: The Saxons raid heavily but are driven off by the noble knights of Britain. These two tables are used to determine random causes of death, as necessary, for your character’s ancestral family members.ġ2–16 = Natural causes (old age, illness, etc.)ġ7–20 = Unknown cause (disappeared, never came home, etc.)Ģ = Captured by raiders (died in captivity)Ħ–11 = Died of difficulties during pregnancyġ2–18 = Natural causes (old age, illness, etc.)ġ9–20 = Unknown cause (disappeared, never came home, etc.) Please remember to note anything your Great Grandfather, Grandfather and Father experiences, as well as what glory they earn in each Event, as well as any earned passions are Directed Traits. If any re-roll is done, all the following rolls already done (in case you roll it all in one set and in one go) MUST be rolled over as well. Thusly you cannot check to see if you just rolled one number wrong to have earned +1000 extra glory some later place. BUT: all following rolls that would have happened after you do the Re-roll most be rolled over as well. Small note on a special GM-inserted rule: You all get ONE re-roll you can specify in using where ever you wish. On that note, here we go with Grandfather's History! Please do record all the story information i gave about him, as well as all the following about your Grandfather and Father. In any case, i was originally just saying that from my own point of view on the 'older age, more experience' option, i am wholey not a personal fan, but not against it being used if others wish so.Īlright, that was the end of Great Grandfather.

It's a choice if you want your character older.
She's one of my favorite GOT characters, so I hope to see that.It's not a 'REALLY' bad idea at all to start out older. or I can further reduce his stats, and make him 18, and then both the PK, and the player will be born in '68!įWIW, I've twice met Greg Stafford (original author of Pendragon) and I've spoken to Peter Cordless (owner of Green Knight who published Pendragon after Chaosium), and I'm really excited by this.Īlso, someone suggested a "Brienne of Tarth" like PK. If it's really a bad idea for Osian to be born in 461 instead of 465 I can just drop his APP from 13 to 9, and he's otherwise the same.
