Species

Jellyhead. On the hivemind.

No starting trait. Jellyheads come as standard.

Character Type

SCRAPPER. Preferred tree: Combat & Weapons. Secondary access: Survival & Perception. Skills in the preferred tree need one fewer narrative trigger to unlock.

Hard Yards On a Toll result for a physical attack, choose: deal full damage, or avoid the counter. Not both.

Close Discipline A SCRAPPER cannot use ranged weapons that resolve on WIT: sling, thrown object, fungun. Their discipline is the close fight.

The Vendor

Settlements have vendors. Selling loot returns roughly half its listed trade value, unless a relevant skill or an established contact shifts the terms. What a vendor stocks, and whether they will deal with you at all, is the oracle's call.
