VsD/Background Options


 * Go back

Currently, there are two changes from the rulebook related to Background Options:

1. In addition to the existing options, you may also gain new Background Options when you have a Revelation at a Milestone. See Milestones for details.

2. The Fleet Footed background option (page 90) has to be rewritten to work with the new Initiative-based action order, and how that influences the Disengage and Run Away actions.

Fleet Footed
''You move like the wind, leaving everyone else behind you. When you run, you can truly show them the meaning of haste.''


 * Minor (cost 1 BP): Increase your Move Rate by 5 meters. You can travel up to 1.5x the normal overland distance per day, as long as you’re on foot and Unencumbered or Lightly Encumbered. (no change)
 * Major (cost 3 BPs): As long as you’re Unencumbered or Lightly Encumbered, you gain three additional benefits:
 * If you move (take any Movement Action), you immediately gain a special +20 bonus to your DEF until the start of your next turn
 * When you attempt to Disengage, you gain a special +20 bonus to your opposed Athletics or Acrobatics skill check
 * When you attempt to Run Away, your foe(s) only gain the Flanking bonus, not the On Rear bonus (to their free attacks)
