For those without the time or inclination to create new characters, or who just want to dive in straight away, this page presents a group of pre-generated iconic characters, the Grey Fellowship - a group of itinerant adventurers who travel the land and take on jobs whenever they can.

Each of these characters is designed as a starting grade 5 character.  You may use these characters as-is, or tweak them to suit you. They differ from the versions found in the Starter Kit because they use the full character creation rules.

Shy. Gimnor is able to go unrecognised even by those he has met before.  However, after three meetings, even the most unobservant will recognise him.

Darksight.  Like all Dwarves, Gimnor is able to see clearly in the dark up to a distance of 60'.  When underground, he can see clearly to any distance.

Iron constitution. Gimnor is immune to non-magical poisons, with the exception of alcohol.

Sturdy. With a low center of gravity, Dwarves are hard to knock down.  Any attempt to do so suffers a -2d6 penalty to the attempt.

Earthy. Like many Mountain Dwarves, Gimnor knows the secret of earth.  He does not have a MAGIC attribute or any magical skills at present, however.

Life on the streets. Gimnor's early life as an urchin was tough; he is able to recover an additional 1d6 HEALTH each day.

Locksmith. Gimnor begins play with a free high quality set of thieves tools.

Shiv. From his time in prison, Gimnor learned how to improvise weapons.  He is always considered to be carrying a knife or a club, even when unarmed.

Create poison. Gimnor can use his herbalism kit to spend five minutes making a poison. The poison remains effective for only five minutes. When drunk or eaten, the poison does 6d6 poison damage.

Aim. Gimnor can spend an action aiming, which gives him +1d6 to a subsequent raged attack made in the same turn.

Achilles heel. Gimnor is able to identify his target's weaknesses. Once per enemy he can ignore their SOAK when making an attack.  This costs him 2d6.

Young. Gimnor is a young dwarf. He can declare one dice pool per day to be an exploding dice pool.

Gimnor was always shy and awkward, an issue not helped by his stutter. He grew up alone on the streets of a large city and took to burglary in order to make enough money to feed himself.  Eventually he was caught, and spent 6 years in prison, an environment which did not tolerate is social awkwardness.  As such, he was forced to defend himself, and found that killing was not so hard. After his release, combining this newfound knowledge and his burglary skills seemed inevitable as he began a career as an assassin.

Outoorswoman.  As a farmhand, Marla learned the secret of plants.

Stimulant. Using her herbalist's kit, Marla can create a herbal stimulant which can be imbibed by herself or another creature, and which increases one attribute's (her choice) dice pool by +1d6 for one hour. This takes her one minute to concoct.

Portfolio. Marla's deity opposes undeath; her portfolio includes the secret of good and the secret of undead. She can also heal 2d6 HEALTH by touch as a single action; any given creature can only benefit from this once per day. This includes the Divine Touch exploit.

A blessing grants the target +2d6 to their LUC pool for one hour; a curse denies them use of their LUC pool for one hour.  As always with magic, an unwilling target requires a MAG (2d6) vs. MENTAL DEFENSE attack.

When Marla's grandfather was killed by a vampire, Marla's life was changed forever.  Originally a famer who grew up to work in her grandfather's herbalist shop, his death spurred her to seek ways to defend against the unholy denizens of the night. To that end, she joined a cleric's order and never looked back, learning how to protect against the undead and heal her friends.  Despite all this, Marla is still very naive and trusting, and knows little of the world.

Bestial and barbaric in his ways, Krute is a force of nature. Raw and savage, he is at home fighting with his teeth as with his axe. Like most Orcs, Krute enjoys violence, preferring it to other solutions to many problems, but is tempered by the presence of his allies. In a berserk frenzy, Krute is a sight to behold - and to avoid - often dropping his axe and leaping into the fight in a whirlwind of teeth and fists.
