Scout (background)

This page describes a part of Icesus that no longer exists.

Backgrounds were how a character was put together before kingdoms and stories replaced them. None of the choices described here can be made in the game today. The page is kept as a record of how Icesus used to work.

Current system: Character creation and Stories

Much of Icesus is still completely or largely unexplored. Caravans carrying goods, armies and rich travellers often employ scouts to survey the terrain around themselves and inform them of any danger drawing near. Thus, scouts get to do a lot of running around in rough terrain. They therefore are healthy and endurant people, often moving nimbly.

The most visible effects on your character:

 o Better pathfinding skill.
 o Constitution gives a little more endurance.
 o Dexterity gives a little more endurance.
 o Gives more wealth.
 o Greatly increased maximum dexterity.
