Hardship Endured
In your past the hardship has forged you into an unstoppable living weapon. However this type of hardship is more essential to you and of course is at the heart of a personal philosophy or even the ethos that guides your actions more frequently. On the following table you can roll in order to determine this hardship or select one that best fits your character.
| d6 | Hardship |
|---|---|
| 1 | You hid underwater to avoid detection by enemies and held your breath for an extremely long time. Just before you would have died, you had a revelation about your existence. |
| 2 | You spent months enduring thirst, starvation, and torture at the hands of your enemy, but you never broke |
| 3 | You enabled the escape of your fellow soldiers, but at great cost to yourself. Some of your past comrades may think you're dead. |
| 4 | No reasonable explanation can explain how you survived a particular battle. Every arrow and bolt missed you. You slew scores of enemies single-handedly and led your comrades to victory. |
| 5 | For days, you hid in the bilge of an enemy ship, surviving on brackish water and foolhardy rats. At the right moment, you crept up to the deck and took over the ship on your own. |
| 6 | You carried an injured marine for miles to avoid capture and death. |
Steady
You’re always capable of moving twice the normal amount of time (it’s almost up to 16 hours) each day before being the subject for the effect of a forced march ( you can see “Travel Pace” in chapter 8 of the Player’s Handbook). But in an addition to this you have a chance to automatically, find a safest route for landing a boat on shore, that is provided such a route exists.
