Inspired by Monster Hunters 1: Champions, we are going to have 15 point motivational lenses as part of each template.
Why be a Hero?
Each motivational lens includes a -15 point disadvantage that reflects why the champion is willing to risk his life as an adventurer. Each lens has been assigned the most appropriate ones, but the player can pick another if he feels that it is more suitable to his character.
Charitable (12): People need help and being an adventurer is the best way for you to prepare yourself so that you can help them when they need it. You can select to do anything you like, as long as you are there to help when needed.
Compulsive Thrill-Seeking (9): As presented in Monster Hunters chapter one, modified by fantasy technology and the wider scope of an adventurer over a monster hunter.
Debt 15: For some reason, you owe money. You can select to do anything you like, but once a month you need to show up and make your payment.
Divine Curse (Monster Magnet): As presented in Monster Hunters chapter one, modified by fantasy technology and the wider scope of an adventurer over a monster hunter.
Duty (12 or less; Extremely Hazardous): As presented in Monster Hunters chapter one, modified by fantasy technology and the wider scope of an adventurer over a monster hunter.
Enemies (Monster of the week; 9 or less; Unknown): As presented in Monster Hunters chapter one, modified by fantasy technology and the wider scope of an adventurer over a monster hunter.
Fanaticism (pick one): You believe so strongly in this one thing that you are willing to spend your time, and perhaps even your life, on the path of an adventurer. Perhaps you are looking for lost relics that should be returned to where they belong or perhaps all monsters must die. You can act freely, make careful plans, and even make tactical retreats. But you can never give up on your belief.
Greed (12): As presented in Monster Hunters chapter one, modified by fantasy technology and the wider scope of an adventurer over a monster hunter.
Obsession (Become the best at what you do) (9): You want to become the best at something and figure that adventuring will help you do that. Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers have a few suggestions: Perfect my art at any cost, Become the best swordsman in the world!, Become the world’s most powerful wizard. You can do whatever you like, but must make a self-control roll to engage in any activity that might interfere with your obsession. You cannot use the same Obsession twice.
Obsession (Become something) (9): You want to become something you are not. Perhaps some kind of undead. You can do whatever you like, but must make a self-control roll to engage in any activity that might interfere with your obsession. You cannot use the same Obsession twice.
