D8 Personality Trait
1 I have the manners of a goat and the grace of an
ox… and I don’t give a crap.
2 I never wanted to be in combat, but now I find I
can’t get enough of it.
3 If there’s a way to get out of hard work, I’ll find
it.
4 Death doesn’t scare me—and that fact scares
the hell out of me.
5 Nobody appreciates my sense of gallows humor.
6 During the fight, I’m numb as a corpse. After it’s
all over, I shiver like a frightened cat.
7 I’ve seen so many people die that I have trouble
remembering faces.
8 Complaining about bad food, stupid officers, and
all my aches and misery keeps me sane.
D6 Ideal
1 Independence. Nobody gives me orders any
more. Nobody. (Chaotic)
2 Survival. The only way to survive is to make
someone else suffer in your place. (Evil)
3 Loyalty. Trust in your shield mates is the only
thing keeping you alive. (Lawful)
4 Greed. I’ll do anything you want, so long as
there’s coin involved. (Neutral)
5 Hope. If we stop the evil threatening our land,
others won’t have to sacrifice as we did. (Good)
6 Vengeance. Those who conscripted me and
destroyed my life must be punished. (Any)
D6 Bond
1 I don’t know if my family lives or dies, but one
day I will find them and return home to them.
2 I fight so other folks like me won’t have to. I fight
for a better world.
3 Those who fight at my side are my brothers and
sisters, and the only ones worth dying for.
4 Let the cause be just. Let my life have meaning
before I die, bleeding and forgotten.
5 Every victory brings me closer to earning a life
free of blood, guts, and horror.
6 Someday, I’ll have my own mercenary company
to command.
D6 Flaw
1 Nobles and officers are only worth one thing:
killing—assuming you can get away with it.
2 Honor is for fools, dead men, and officers.
3 The scars on my body pain me by day; the scars
on my soul haunt me at night.
4 Deep down inside, I’m a coward. The day will
come when I’ll break and run.
5 The sight of blood and guts makes me sick.
6 When someone barks orders at me, I obey
without thinking about it.
