The Dragon Tablets: Edward Ashcroft 2.0

Last time Edward came in under budget, which gives us a lot of room to maneuver. But with the new templates, there will also be traits that weren’t there the first time around. As Edward was inspired by a Breton and they inspired the Wellen, it seems like a good idea to make Edward a Wellen. And as they, like humans, have a blank racial template, I have all the freedom in the world to use the points available to him. Other than what I’m putting in the Scout character template and the Accidental Hero motivational lens, of course.

Notes

Magicka, Absolute Direction, Accessory, and both Shticks are added outside the budget as they are setting switches. So there are no changes there.
In general, Edward is better than he used to be, in particular at anything folded into the Ranger Wildcard! skill and social interaction. But the bow especially. On the other hand, his thieving side has been toned down to give him a sidekick. A Chewbacca to his Han Solo. The new Edward has also been trained in dealing with animals.

We have also added Compulsive Thrill-Seeking as his motivational disadvantage to be an adventurer. And we leave him with 36 unspent points.
