Character special background
This is the main thing that sets you apart from common rangers.
You can take up to 10 less points in stats and advantages here and leave those points to Basic skills/background if you wish.
If you have an enhanced(350 point) basic training then just select Training/Experience packages
For others select either: (all are 300 points total)
- Important background These are 300 point packages that give interesting and powerful abilities.
- From Haraza -Your home world had a full global nuclear war a long time ago, and you are not quite human after the mutations.
- From Elvenhome - You are from the planet Elvenhome. A place where the population tries to resemble “elves” from prehistoric tales.
- Special forces background - You served 20 years (“20 year man”) in one of the imperial special forces units before joining rangers.
- Noble - You are a very minor member of a major house, a major member of a lesser house or a direct descendant of a minor house.
- Ninjutsu clan - You are from a ancient clan, claiming to honor old traditions from the human home world “The way of the ninja” or “Ninjutsu”
- Asari - You are a Asari, but on a military exchange program to the human forces.
- Technomage - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. You live with that technology.
- Mystic Knight - You belong to an order that kept the secrets of the Mystics Knights of the Federation alive.
- Superior - This is a “general great improvement” lens on the base training package, which increases the overall competence of the template a lot without changing its flavor.
- Edge These are less powerful and character defining than the important backgrounds being only 150 points but in addition you get 150 points in Training/Experience packages.
- Genie(Genetically engineered), these are the case where you have been generically changed, most of them are even less powerful than Edges. These are two classes:
- The low power backgrounds give you the generic modification an Edge and less other training
- The high power backgrounds give you the generic modification and more other training
- Note that some of the options in edges and important backgrounds also contain genetic manipulation.
