Since the dawn of time, the frontiers of nations have been gateways to the unknown, equal parts terrifying and wondrous. Nations were build up and brought low by their ability to produce intrepid explorers and adventurers capable of claiming choice land in the name of their lieges. No countries managed this better than the Bas-Karakat and the Agan. <br/> | Since the dawn of time, the frontiers of nations have been gateways to the unknown, equal parts terrifying and wondrous.

| + | Though you start at 28 PB, every level past 2nd you will gain an additional point of Point Buy, which can be applied to your stats or held until you have more. You cannot deduct points after they've been added, so think carefully whether you want to save or spend. Your original 28 PB must all be spent during character creation, and do not carry over. | ||
