Developed using Googlism as mentioned in this post and originally posted by szilard, Ruben is a feature NPC from Gateway of Corruption. Details filled in with random number and random name generators.
Description:
Ruben is the sheriff of Gantrick Point, a small hamlet a few days west of Sobra in Kynafir. He’s fairly intelligent and his best friend is the local priest of Ibrisi, Labrahs. Ruben has been decently educated and knows Iuze in addition to his native language of Hezrei and can read and write in both tongues. He considered entering the Church but chose to stay in Gantrick Point and care for his wife Colleen and daughter Branwen.
Ruben is often sought after by residents in other nearby villages if there’s trouble as his intellect and education are well respected. Recently, he’s worked with those people to try to form a militia to protect the area from bandits but has met with little success.
Currently his greatest hope is to be able to one day afford a shiny necklace for his wife.

INTRODUCTION
A jester is a madman and his actions are unpredictable, sometimes even to him. He is rash and wild and can be quite bizarre, even unsettling. He relies on surprise, blind luck and unusual tactics to escape danger and evade his enemies. Not all jesters are professional fools, though some are, but all are entertainers at their core. Jesters rarely stop talking or laughing, and regale those around them with tales of harrowing adventure or embarrassing failure and folly. A jester is always good for a rousing tale or jest (thus the name). Jesters thrive on being difficult to read, and work best when their opponents are hesitant and off-step.

INTRODUCTION
A bounty hunter hunts his prey for money, for glory, for fun or for more personal reasons. Whether or not the target lives depends entirely on the hire. Some employers want them back alive, some just want the target gone. The Bounty Hunter rarely cares which, as long as he gets paid. Boba Fett is a good example of a pragmatic bounty hunter.
REQUIREMENTS
To become a bounty hunter, a character must Read More »

An inquisitor must be completely dedicated to the Church and must possess the skills required to wring the truth from those who would lie to him. As the Church of the Thirteen Gods and the Colleges of Kynafir are diametrically opposed in outlook and practice, those with Paranormal: Magic need not apply. All Inquisitors have a Read More »

Two new skills available to my players are Acumen: Awareness and Magic: Sense Magic. The first is being made available because due to an apparently huge oversight in writing up the d6 Fantasy system, there is no general awareness or listen check skill. So, I add it, problem fixed.
The second is needed because the magic system I’m using has no “Detect Magic” spell and probably never will have. However, borrowing from many fiction examples, the ability to sense magic inherently for someone who has Paranormal Magic as an attribute is not farfetched. The difficulty number for the skill will be based on my idea of the size and power of the magic in question. The player needs to be focusing on a specific item to use it.
Existing characters can pick up the skills at the cost of skills at creation.
