Starting Erosion
1

You manipulate living tissue — knitting wounds, accelerating healing, and (if desperate) reshaping flesh into new configurations. Your gift is visceral, intimate, and disturbing.

Starting Choices

  • Prime Attribute: +1 GRIT (fixed, no choice).
  • Skill Allocation: Distribute 6 Skill Points among Career Skills (maximum starting Rank 2).
  • Starting Talents: You start with Knit Flesh (Rank 1 Cantrip) automatically. Choose one general Mundane Talent (Combat or Non-Combat list — player’s choice).
  • Starting Erosion: 1 (the cost of the gift).
  • Note on starting gear: The Leather Apron is a narrative item with no AR — it protects your clothes from blood, not your body from bullets.
