 Appendix A - Character Sheet

Vocational Skills

Most skills in this section will be reserved for NPCs; however, PCs could learn them. However, most have requirements of a forge or workshop. Player character could choose to invest in such, but that urban investment rarely involves everyday involvement. At best, the PC would have to hire a manager or trusted laborer to control the upkeep. The PC might own the investment but would not be able to use them as most NPCs do. That said, with these skills a PC could assist in his or her shop – or trade labor for price at another’s shop to decrease the time and cost of needed items or services.

There is also an exception to the karma rule for vocational skills. These can be trained without the use of karma. However, a character must spend a like number of days training with a mentor equal to the cost. The other option is self-training which costs double that duration. This training can be spent in half-days up. In other words, a 100-cost would require 200 days performed by self-training, which could consume up to 400 calendar days to be complete. If longer is taken, then the training is lost. At the end of the training, a spirit feat-save against is rolled. The DC is 2 points per every 50 points of karma expense of the skill. If successful, then the skill is acquired. If not, then all the training was invaluable, and the skill is not gained.

Alchemy						Homeopathy
This skill allows for the crafting of potions, oils and powders of a supernatural nature. After crafting the ingredients in the appropriate quantities, a d20 against the DC is rolled for each interval. The better of the craftsman's spirit or mind bonus can be added to these rolls. If score is successful for the interval, then the highest raw die value is tallied against a running total. When the value reaches the success value, then the batch is complete. However, if the success value is not reached prior to the maximum time, then this lot is ruined.
	Batch-Size	Ingredients	DC	Interval	Success	Max Time	Shelf Life
Elixir of Bravery	4 doses	12 Tbsp Frankincense 8 Tbsp Maiden’s Heart 6 Tbsp Moly 12 oz Red Mercury	14	Daily	90	14 days	3 months

When brewing several batches at once, the character may choose to roll against each batch, the whole set or in divisions of his or her choice. Lastly,
