Origin Worlds
Everyone Came From Somewhere
It's time to find out about the place you grew up. What was it like? Do you still have family there? Friends? Do you still consider it home? Would you ever go back?
Roll for Origin World before you apply to a career. Your Origin World affects your starting Social Rank and grants your first skill. Think of this skill as what you were destined to do with your life before you left home.
Rolling Your Origin World
Roll 1D, applying a DM based on your Presence, then consult the table below. The result (clamped to 1-6) gives your origin world's Category.
- PRE 1-5: +1 DM
- PRE 6-8: no DM
- PRE 9+: -1 DM
Every character starts with a base Social Rank of 6. Your origin world's SOC Mod is applied immediately; career benefits can adjust it further later.
Once you know your Category, roll 1D again on that Category's row to find your starting skill (gained at level 1).
