<h1>ABSENT PLAYERS</h1>
|
|
<p>We all have busy lives, and sometimes this means one or more people will be unable to take part in a session.</p>
|
|
<p>When this happens, the simplest option is often to reschedule the session for a different date. Just pick another day to meet — in the meantime, you can play another game with whoever is present!</p>
|
|
<p>On the other hand, if you are determined to run a session even if one or more participants are absent — and you should do this only if whoever's missing is okay with it — each absent Player chooses one of the following for their character:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>I'll join you later.</strong> Your character will remain in town (or somewhere safe) and carry on some kind of task. This is a good chance to gather information, purchase items, and work on Projects. Discuss what your character does with the Game Master.</li>
|
|
<li>Your character will join the rest of the group at the beginning of the next session; describe how you got there.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>I'll be in your care.</strong> For this session, your character will be controlled by the rest of the group as a whole (excluding the Game Master). While controlled by the group, your character cannot spend Fabula Points and will automatically surrender if reduced to 0 Hit Points. The Game Master should be cautious when applying consequences to characters belonging to absent Players, and everyone else should do their best to protect them.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Regardless of which option you choose for your character, the following apply:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Your character will not gain Fabula Points while absent from a session.</li>
|
|
<li>Your character will gain Experience Points as normal at the end of the session. This might cause your character to level up (see page 226).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>As soon as you take part in a session again, you will be able to gain and spend Fabula Points as normal.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The nature of this world is not one of absolutes.</p>
