Scaled Continent: Templates

Note that many of these templates use the Standard Kit I proposed last time.  Also these templates, rather then being rolled on 3d6 as starting gold, have an associated gold piece cost.  Roll or choose a template and subtract its value from your starting gold.  If you come out negative, you owe a debt to a Hutt Voltari crime lord and had best pay up by the end of the first month or so of play.

And so, without further ado, templates!

  1. I like templates and kits like this. They really help in putting a character together, or a NPC for that matter.

    1. They are wonderfully convenient for both new players and inspiration. Coming up with these was something of a creative workout.
