Weekly Wonders: Legacy Character Creation
Pass On Your Character's Legacy! It's one of those ideas that every long-time roleplayer has had at least once: when their character's time comes¸ and they retire to a nice quiet farm or open up a tavern¸ and go from being a PC to an NPC¸ and they have a child or three¸ wouldn't it be fun to roll up your character's child and play them in a later game? Of course¸ you don't need a special character creation method in order to do so-the regular rules of the game are more than capable of handling character creation. But what if there was a character creation method specifically designed to take advantage of this sort of situation¸ which used the traits of the character's parents in order to determine the abilities and capabilities of the character? What if¸ through generations of careful cultivation¸ a player could develop strong familial traits that make for highly specialized and capable characters? Luckily¸ there's no need to wonder¸ for this book contains just such a system.
