Portentous Birth
FireTipos InterpersonalSpiritualDescrição
The childbirth assistant carried the silent bundle to the priest outside of the birthing chamber. The child’s grandmother followed with a stony look on her face.
Why isn’t the child crying? the priest thought. “Show him,” the grandmother said.
The assistant carefully unwrapped the bundle. The unnerving infant stared about, clear-eyed, as the grandmother pointed out the seven moles in a perfect circle on their ear.
“The child will reverse the family’s bad fortune!” the priest exclaimed. The grandmother let out a breath and smiled for the first time in years.
Efeitos
The following apply to a character with the Portentous Birth distinction:
You are known among your clan or family group to have been born under blessed circumstances or have had some sort of mark or other indication of greatness bestowed upon you by the Heavens. When you interact with someone who knows of your portentous birth and believes in its power, they treat you favorably and may be inclined to give you special privileges as long as you do not give them a reason to treat you otherwise.
When performing a check for which your fortuitous birth is an asset (such as a Composition [Fire] check to craft a clever request to someone who believes in the legacy of your birth or a Theology [Fire] check to theorize about an omen), you may reroll up to two dice.
