Editing Descriptor

'''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.
