Your Job represents a collection Experiences your Character begins their Story with.

Specifically, a Job will consist of 2 Skills and either 2 Tool Skills, 2 Language Groups or 1 of each of these.

You may choose to create your own Job by individually choosing the Experiences you think your Character would have (including a name for your Job!), or you may choose an Example Job, which will be presented at the end of this Page.

Experiences granted by your Job should be recorded on your Experiences Card.

Skills represent a group of commonly associated activities which your Character is experienced in and may have a particular talent for. The use of Skills are discussed further on the Skill Checks Page and the Skills Page.

You may choose 2 Skills for your Job.

There are 8 Skills you may choose from: Athletics, Creativity, Lore, Medicine, Social, Survival, Technology and Trickery.

To choose these Randomly, you may roll a d8 and choose the corresponding Skills from the below table (rerolling repeated Results).

Tool Skills represents your Experience in using a set of commonly associated Tools, usually related to a skilled profession.

The use of Tools are discussed further on the Tools Page.

You may choose one Tool Skill, or two if you forgo learning a Language Group.

The Types of Tools you may be Skilled in will vary by Fantasy. A full list of Examples may be found on the Tools Page. 20 common examples are presented in the Table below.

If you wish to choose Tool Skills at Random, roll a d20 and choose the corresponding Tool Skill, rerolling repeated results. If a Tool Skill is inappropriate for your Story (e.g. electronics tools within a Medieval setting), roll again.

Alternatively, you may work with your GM to create a unique Tool Skill.

For Example, a Magician might have Magician’s Tools as a Tool Skill.

Language Groups represent your knowledge of and ability to use a set of commonly associated Language, which may include both Spoken Languages and specialized forms of communication.

The uses of Language Groups are discussed further on the Languages Page.

You may choose one Language Group, or two if you forgo gaining a Tool Skill.

The Language Groups you may learn will vary by Fantasy. A full list of Examples may be found on the Languages Page. 20 common examples are presented in the Table below.

If you wish to choose Language Groups at Random, roll a d20 and choose the corresponding Language Groups, rerolling repeated results.

If you get a 12 or higher, you may learn a Spoken Language appropriate to your setting. Example Language Groups for Modern, Traditional and Future Fantasies are provided in additional Tables provided. To choose a Spoken Language Randomly, you may roll a d6 and choose the corresponding Spoken Language, rerolling repeated results.

Alternatively, you may work with your GM to define a unique Language Group.

For Example, a world which is defined by a wide variety domesticated magical creatures called “Djinnimon” might have the Djinn Language Group, which allows a Character to speak with Djinnimon.

Below are a set of Example Jobs which you may choose instead of creating a unique Job of your own.

To choose a Job Randomly, you may roll a d100 and choose the corresponding Job and it’s Experiences. Reroll if you feel the Job chosen does not fit well with your Identity or Ability Bonuses (e.g. a Character with a +0 Charisma Bonus is unlikely to be a Socialite).

Once you have chosen a Job, you may choose to change some of the Experiences granted by it to better fit your vision for that Job.
