Description

In the past your flesh was a hindrance, always demanding food and sleep and joy. Now you pursue the deepest arcane secrets unimpeded. You channel magic through Spells carved directly onto your bones. There’s only so much bone to carve. “A deadly shortcut,” your peers say. But a shortcut to what?

  • Carved Spell – Eject Bone.
  • Random carved Spell.
  • Random carved Spell.

  • 6 Provisions

Advanced Skills & Spells

Add your Skill ( + 4 ) to each of these:

Special

All skeletons can Test their Luck to absorb memories of an object, creature, or location they are touching.
As an action you can cast a Spell carved onto your bones. After paying the Stamina cost the carved Spell automatically succeeds, then disappears from your bones.
If you spend one hour in a Carving Trance, test your Luck. If successful, gain a random Spell carved onto your bones. If the trance fails, reduce your Max Stamina by 1.
DRIVE: To make room for new Carved Spells. Erase a Carved Spell at any time to recover 2d6 Stamina and 1d6 Luck.
