Step 2. Jobs and Gear

Jobs

Beyond being a chalksworn ranger, you also occupy a noteworthy space in the Hereafter. Pick one of the four jobs described in the Cloud Empress Rulebook mentioned on page 11, but do not make any mechanical changes based on it yet. Further narrative information on each of them can be found on pages 13, 15, 17, and 19 of the same book.

If you are playing Chalksworn with others, it is not recommended to pick the same job as another player, but your play experience will not be significantly hampered by having done so.

Gear

Roll 1d10 and check the page opposite your job’s description in the Cloud Empress Rulebook. Find the listed entry under the What were you doing last? table that matches the number rolled, make note of what it says you were doing, and then mark down the gear listed on that entry into your inventory. You can find conversions for the mechanical benefits to certain gear in the Equipment Conversion section of this document. Make separate note of any spells you know.

Roll 1d100 and consult the Traveling With... table on page 21 of the Cloud Empress Rulebook, making note of any gear added to your inventory, or make a separate note if it is a person or animal.
