CLERIC

d6 I beca me a cl eric because ...

A supernatural being in service to the gods called

me to become a divine agent in the world.

2 I saw the injustice and horror in the world and felt

moved to take a stand against them.

3 My god gave me an unmistakable sign. I dropped

everything to serve the divine.

4 Although I was always devout, it wasn' t until I com-

p leted a pilgrimage that I knew my true calling.

5 I used to serve in my religion's bureaucracy but

found I needed to work in the world, to bring the

message of my faith to the darkest corners of the

land.

6 I realize that my god works through me, and I do as

commanded, even though I don' t know why I was

chosen to serve.

DRUID

d6 I became a druid because ...

I saw too much devastation in the wild places, too

much of nature's splendor ruined by the despoil-

ers. I joined a circle of druids to fight back against

the enemies of nature.

2 I found a place among a group of druids after I fled

a catastrophe.

I have always had an affinity for animals, so I ex-

plored my talent to see how I could best use it.

I befriended a druid and was moved by druidic

teachings. I decided to follow my friend's guidance

and give something back to the world.

While I was growing up, I saw spirits all around

me- entities no one else could perceive. I sought

out the druids to help me understand the visions

and communicate with these beings.

6 I have a lways felt disgust for creatures of unnatural

origin. For this reason, I immersed myself in the

s tudy of the druidic mysteries and became a cham-

pion of the natural ord er.

FIGHTER

d6 I became a fighter because ...

I wanted to hone my combat skills, and so I joined

a war college.

2 I squired for a knight who taught me how to fight,

care for a steed , and conduct myself with honor. I

decided to take up that path for myself.

3 H o rrible monsters descended on my community,

killing someone I loved. I took up arms to destroy

those creatures and others of a simila r nature.

4 I joined the army and learned how to fight as part

of a group.

I grew up fighting, and I refined my talents by de·

fending myself against people who crossed me.

I could always pick up just about a ny weapon and

know how to u se it effectively.

MONK

d6 I became a monk because ...

I was chosen to study at a secluded monastery.

There, I was taught the fundamental techniques

required to eventually master a tradition.

2 I sought instruction to gain a deeper understand-

ing of existence and my place in the world.

3 I st~mbled into a portal to the Shadowfell and took

refuge in a strange monastery, where I learned how

to defend myself against the forces of darkness.

4 I was overwhelmed with grief after losing someone

close to me, and I sought the advice of philoso-

phers to help me cope with my loss.

5 I could feel that a special sort of power lay within

me, so I sought out those who could help me call it

forth and master it.

6 I was wild and undisciplined as a you ngster, but

then I realized the error of my ways. I applied to a

monastery and became a monk as a way to live a

life of discipline.
