<h1>Secrets</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is not uncommon for a Player Character to hide secrets from their
|
|
companions, be it their past misdeeds or their burning love for an antagonist.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While it's perfectly fine for characters to have secrets, Players should
|
|
instead keep things transparent and work together to get the most out of the
|
|
situation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By telling your group "My character looks like they want to be friends with
|
|
you, but she actually hates you because of what happened in Galatea" you are
|
|
empowering everyone at the table, including yourself: now that this facet of
|
|
your hero is known, it will be possible to build upon it and create drama.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Never forget that this game relies on a collaborative storytelling effort:
|
|
disclosing your character's secrets means giving your fellow Players a chance
|
|
to make things interesting — do not think of it as "letting your guard down".
|
|
</p>

<h2>Leaving the Group</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There might come a moment when you feel like your character has been fully
|
|
explored; they have faced their fears, achieved their goals, and found who or
|
|
what they were looking for, with the campaign not yet reaching its end.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When this happens, you are free to announce that your character will be
|
|
leaving the group — you should do so between sessions and also come up with a
|
|
replacement character. Then, at the beginning of the following session,
|
|
describe your character's epilogue and agree on how and why your new character
|
|
joins the group.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you want to temporarily retire a character but retain the ability to
|
|
bring them back later on during the campaign, you should discuss it with the
|
|
rest of your group.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Whenever a new character (or a previously retired character) joins the
|
|
group, they should have the same level and XP as the character they are
|
|
replacing. If the character is a returning character, the Player should
|
|
briefly describe what they did while away from the rest of the group.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Regardless of how many Player Characters are owned by a Player, that Player
|
|
may only control a single PC at once. The Game Master has final say on when
|
|
you can "switch characters"—generally between sessions or after resting in
|
|
town.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Needless to say, you can only switch to a different character if that
|
|
character is somewhere nearby or has the means to reach the rest of the group.
