Descriptors are packages of skills and small bonuses that help set your character apart from others of the same Type. Your Descriptor is a short statement that defines a character’s personality, such as “Wrathful” or “Intelligent”. There are a large number to choose from, and they reflect what kind of person you will be.
In gameplay terms, Descriptors provide a number of benefits to statistics, Skills, and in some cases, special Abilities as well, but they also often come with penalties. Once selected, a character’s Descriptor cannot be changed.
