If your character is a Human, you may nowchoose two non-career skills as per species description.Your character starts with one rankin those two skills.Table 1-3: Lores of MagicLore of MagicAmber WizardAmethyst WizardBright WizardCelestial WizardGold WizardGrey WizardJade WizardWhite Wizardd100 result--------Step 4: InvestExperience PointsDuring this step you may spend starting experienceto improve your character's characteristics,purchase talents and increase ranksin skills. Remember that unless stated otherwise,your character cannot have any skillshigher than rank once character creationis finished. General rules on how to spendXP during this step are presented in theGenesys Core Rulebook, page , howeverThe Old World: Grim and Perilousadds one unique option - purchasing anadditional talent tree. At your GMs discretion,you may spend XP to select onespecialization that reflects your character'sspecial training or background. Your charactermay purchase talents from this specialization,but they don't gain gear andcareer skills and cannot advance theirprofession in this specialization. Ifat any point you decide to changeyour character's specialization tothis specialization, apply the normalrules of purchasing new specializations.Ranald's LuckIf you think Ranald is on your side today, insteadof choosing a character's species or specialization,you can roll d and compare the result with Tables- or -. This will give you an extra XP ifyou chose a character's species or specializationthis way, or XP if you chose both. However, youmust accept the result of the roll.This XP cannot be spent on characteristics, onlyskills and talents.During this step you will determine your character'swound threshold, strain threshold,defense and soak by following the rules presentedin the Genesys Core Rulebook, page .However, in The Old World: Grim and Perilousthere is also one additional attribute todetermine - corruption threshold. Corruptionthreshold represents how quickly your charactersuccumbs to the influence of Chaos. Yourcharacter’s starting corruption threshold is determinedby adding the corruption thresholdfor their species to their Presence rating (afterspending starting XP).Step 5: DetermineDerived AttributesChapter 1: Creating Your Character 13
