Forbidden Lands Players Handbook

PRIDE
Adventurers are not like other people. Leaving
home and family to set out on the way
of the sword requires both courage and the
conviction that you are an individual beyond
the norm. This is represented in the game by
your Pride – something specific that you are
very proud of. It can be an ability, an event in
your past, or something else. Your profession
provides three suggestions, but you are free to
make up your own Pride.
Once per game session you can activate
your Pride, when you fail a skill roll in a situation
where your Pride is relevant. The GM
has the final say, but she should give you the
benefit of the doubt. When activating your
Pride, you get to roll an extra D12 and include
the result in a dice roll. If you fail the roll despite
this, you must remove your Pride. You
then need to play one entire session without
a Pride, before you get to choose a new Pride
for your character. Read more on how you use
your Pride in Chapter 3.

be: “Nothing scares me, as I have seen the
world behind the veil.”
