Boons and Banes

Boons & Banes is an optional mechanic designed to add flavor and detail during the character creation process. It provides minor and major benefits which may be chosen (at an XP cost) as well as minor and major drawbacks (which grant extra XP) to use during character creation. The GM is free to set a “Carryover XP Cap” to limit how much can be carried over for skills, talents, etc.

Boons offer commensurate bonuses for spending 5 or 10 XP.

Banes offer commensurate drawbacks for gaining 5 or 10 XP.
