Traits
Aecer's Likeness
Character
Roden are, in essence, upright and
acutely intelligent rodents. Their
defining feature is their pronounced
incisors curving down from their
extended snouts. Covered in fur, Roden
bear large ears and long tails. Their feet
are long and thickly padded, making
shoes unnecessary.
Coat Of Fur
Call-on
All Roden have a short coat of fur.
While Field Roden coloration ranges
from sawdust to chocolate, those Below
tend to be deep, dark brown, gray, or
black. Roden fur offers them protection
from the elements. They can withstand
rain and cold with little worry. This
trait acts as a call-on for Health or
Forte tests related to weather or wet.
Communal
Die
Roden prefer the company of others
and safety of numbers. They live in
close-knit villages made up of large,
extended families, and refer to their
homes as 'nests.' It is quite rare to find
one alone, and usually such loners are
exiles. All Roden start with a 1D
affiliation with their family and their
nest. Name the nest and its location.
Compassionate
Character
Enlarged Incisors
Die
Roden incisors grow continually
through life and need to be filed
regularly. These incisors are often quite
sharp, and can be used to bite
opponents if the situation becomes
desperate. +1 Power, Add 2, VA - ,
Shortest, WS 2.
Faithful
Die
This trait is required in order to open
the Faith attribute. With Faith, the
character is able to perform miracles.
The Faith section of this chapter
describes how to start the attribute. The
Emotional Magic section of the Burning
Wheel describes its mechanics.
Humble
Die
All are equal before Aecer, and the wise
continually remind themselves of this
fact. 1D reputation among the faithful
as exceptionally humble.
Large Ears
Die
Roden have large, sensitive ears that sit
atop their heads. These give them
excellent hearing. +1D to Perception
rolls.
Louis Wu
Die
When surprised or shocked by a
revelation (especially when called on to
make a Steel test for such instances),
this character is prone to fits of
laughter. He may replace "Stand and
Drool" with "Belly Laugh" in his
hesitation options. If this doesn't
infuriate friends and foes alike,
something is wrong in the world.
Ordained
Die
This Roden is one of Aecer's Ordained.
He is responsible for carrying out the
rituals and rites. Ordained characters
are always treated with respect by the
Field Roden. 1D affiliation with the
Roden faithful.
Patient
Character
Pouched Cheeks
Die
These cheeks are very elastic and may
be used to carry a surprising amount of
fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Consider it
feasible to place up to 6 apples in each
cheek. Knives and other sharp objects
are carried at the bearer's own risk!
Quick-blooded
Die
Roden have fast metabolisms that take
their toll on them over time. Roden live
shorter lives than Men, reaching old age
by 40. They have a Stride of 8.
Revered
Call-on
The Abbot is a pillar of piety and virtue
in the community. May be used as a
call-on for Oratory or Suasion.
Righteous
Character
Tail
Character
Roden tails range from 1/2 to 1 pace
long. Field Born often have furry tails,
while those Below often have bald ones.
Tough
Die
A tough character may round up when
determining his mortal wound.
Vegetarian
Character
Field Born are naturally vegetarians,
consuming grains, fruits, berries, and
nuts.
Zealot
Die
The Zealot is a fervent believer. He has
taken hold of a doctrine and made it his
own. The Zealot trait allows the player
to add an additional (fourth) Belief to
his character. The Belief must relate to
the doctrine of his cult or sect.
