For a different play experience, you may decide to start characters at level 0. Each player controls four characters at the same time. Any who survive their first adventure go on to become fully-fledged level 1 characters.
Level-0 characters are little more than peasants. They have no experience of adventure, and are likely to die painful deaths very quickly.
If your health or any of your attributes ever reaches 0, you are dead.
To create a character at level 0:
- Roll 3d6 in order for each attribute: Agility, Brawn, Cunning.
- Roll 1d6 for Health.
- Roll an Occupation from the list below.
- Roll 1d20 for starting silver.
- Roll two items from the equipment list below.

- Medium ranged weapon (1d6 damage. Requires two free hands.)

Levelling Up
Level-o characters who survive their first adventure reach level 1.
To become a level 1 adventurer:
- Gain a Scar if you did not already obtain at least one during your adventure. You may roll on the lists or determine your own scar based on the events of your adventure.
- Swap two of your attributes, if you wish to.
- Add half of your Brawn to your health to determine your new maximum health. Use your Brawn total before resting; level-0 characters lack Recovery Dice, and thus cannot recover exerted attributes.
- If you found any Rituals during your adventure you may now attempt to learn them, following the normal procedure.
