They took you in when no one else would, and Phillippa Grist, the ranking member here of the International Meddlers Society, really wants to make a name for Carda’s backwater chapter.
Maybe more renown can get us more than cramped rooms, uncomfortable beds, and gruel for every meal. A little funding from the bigger branches would be great. Treasure would be better.
Meddler titles are bestowed depending on the number of ranks earned with each increasing title gaining more access to the resources of the Society.
Experience
There are three ways to gain experience:
- Answering the end-of-session questions.
- Writing an in-character journal recap of the last session.
- Completing or helping someone complete their quest.
End of Session Questions
After each session, answer the following questions:
- Did we get the goods?
- Did we aid someone unlucky?
- Did we discover something by exploring the unknown?
For each question you can answer yes to at least once, mark 1 experience point to a maximum of 3 points total per session earned in this way.
In-Character Journal
After each session, one or more players may submit an in-character journal to recap the session. The journal entry may be sent to the referee for additional notes.
Once the journal entry is posted to the rest of the group, that character marks 1 experience point.
Quest
Each character starts with a major quest. When a character completes a quest or helps someone else complete a quest, they mark 3 experience points immediately.
After completing a quest, a character may be retired to allow for new characters to be played as typically a quest is a capstone undertaking. Another quest may be adopted.
A New Rank
After you mark 9 experience points, erase the marks and earn 1 rank.
- Add +1 to any Attribute Score.
- Add +1 to your Guard.
- If you qualify based on your rank and any additional requirements, earn a new title.
