Renegade 20 Core Manual

Version Alpha 0.30

Following is a detail of each race, including a summary of the starting benefits you get for being a member of the race, a description of the race itself including variation in age, height, weight, and much more.

Near the top of each race is the racial portfolio, which is a summary of the racial qualities that affect the game dynamics. Included with the racial portfolio is a summary table of Aspects and Powers available to that race that you receive when you create a character. If it specifies an Aspect or Power or Skill, you add that to your character when you create it as a member of that race. If one isn’t specified (such as 2 Skill Points, 1 Power, 1 Aspect), it means that you get to choose which Powers, Aspects, or Skills you wish to add or advance to your character. Remember, you must qualify for the Powers or Aspects to add them to your portfolio.

The hit points listed as part of that portfolio are determined and then added to your hit points when you create your character. This represents the relative strength, size, and variation of your race.

Keep track of any skill points you receive as part of your race that you choose here in a separate column on your character sheet. These skill points are not part of any of the 4 scales (Standard, Heroic, Epic, or Astral). You may only advance a particular skill 3 times in any of one scale. After you have advanced a particular skill 3 times in the Standard Scale, you cannot advance again until you are in the Heroic Scale, and you will then start tracking the advancements you make in the Heroic Scale. This is discussed in detail with Character Advancement and in the Skills chapter. In short, the Skill Points granted here are tracked separately from the restrictions of the scales.

Underneath you will find important descriptive text to understand the mannerisms of the average member of that race. Finally, a summary of the Aspects and Powers available to each race is included.

Template Races are more difficult. You might become a lycanthrope or vampire over your character’s lifespan, but not likely. If you do, the Template Races for many (but not all) Template Races are included. Template Races are much like normal races, except they enhance your current race and don’t replace it. You could be a Barrow or a Barrow Vampire. Each Template Races denotes racial attributes you gain or lose, and what powers and feats will become available to you if you advance in the Template Race. When you add a template race, you do so at level 0. Usually, you gain some benefits and drawbacks when you add a template race, and you gain those immediately as well.

Alignment:

Dwarves worship their own god, Moradin, as well as many elemental gods and some demigod heroes.
