Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Fortuitous Malfunction
A trap or a dangerous device malfunctions before it can affect you.
Serendipitous Landmark
Just when it seems like the path is lost (or you are), a trail marker, a landmark, or simply the way the terrain or corridor bends, rises, or falls away suggests to you the best path forward, at least from this point.
Weak Strain
The poison or disease turns out not to be as debilitating or deadly as it first seemed, and inflicts only half the damage that it would have otherwise.
Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
The quarry notices the character. The quarry isn't as vulnerable as it seemed.
Initially chose Hedge Magic or Magical Training, but wanted invisibility magic, so replaced with Vanish

", "description": "Background:
Explorer
You are a person of action and physical ability, fearlessly facing the unknown. You travel to strange, exotic, and dangerous places, and discover new things. This means you're physical but also probably knowledgeable. Although Explorers can be academics or well studied, they are first and foremost interested in action. They face grave dangers and terrible obstacles as a routine part of life.
Rugged
You're a nature lover accustomed to living rough, pitting your wits against the elements. Most likely, you're a skilled hunter, gatherer, or naturalist. Years of living in the wild have left their mark with a worn countenance, wild hair, or scars. Your clothing is probably much less refined than the garments worn by city dwellers.
Human
You are the definition of the average humanoid. As a group, they have average might, speed and intellect. But behind the average human lies a saga of untapped potential, a story poised to leap the bounds of the ordinary and venture into the realm of the extraordinary.
Hunts
You are a stalking hunter who excels at bringing down your selected quarry.
Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- Against your better judgment, you joined the other PCs because you saw that they were in danger.
- One of the other PCs convinced you that joining the group would be in your best interests.
- You're afraid of what might happen if the other PCs fail.
- There is reward involved, and you need the money.
Background Connection:
You have made a number of discoveries in your explorations, but not all opportunities to capitalize on them have panned out yet.
Focus Connection:
Pick one other PC. In the recent past, while practicing, you accidentally hit them with an attack, wounding them badly. It is up to them to decide whether they resent or forgive you.
