Adventuring Companies

Adventuring companies represent groups of characters bound

together for some purpose. The company provides a theme,
special benefits, and a loose framework for a group of characters.
Creating an adventuring company is optional and can be done only
with the Game Masters consent before the start of the game.
nless the Game Master mandates the use of a particular
adventuring company, all the players have to agree to form a
company. They then select one company concept for their
characters. A group of characters gains the benefits of a single
adventuring company! they cannot benefit from belonging to
multiple adventuring companies.
"f your gaming group decides to form an adventuring company,
all of the player characters in the group must be members
of the company and satisfy its membership re#uirements.
$ikewise, new characters %oining the company must satisfy the
membership re#uirements of the company.
&ot every adventuring company concept is appropriate for
every campaign and the Game Master is the final arbiter of
which concepts, if any, are permitted his campaign. The Game
Master might even choose to base an entire campaign on a
given adventuring company concept. 'layers should feel free
to e(pand upon the skeleton of the company concept they have
chosen. 'irates should name their ship, criminal gangs should
have a name for their crew, and so on. )uch embellishments
help you breathe life into your character and the organi*ation
of which he is a part.

he already has from one of his starting careers, choose a new
ability from any of your characters careers.
