2.3.3 Position in Family


Start by assuming the character is the eldest, then
modify his birth position as you roll for each sibling.
If you roll a position higher or lower than there are
siblings, such as rolling Two Higher for the rst
sibling, treat the result as One Higher. The same
goes for Lower.
When you have determined the family tree, move to
Table 2.3.4.

d100 Result
116 Three Higher: The child is three steps
higher than the previous sibling.
1732 Two Higher: The child is two steps higher
than the previous sibling.
3348 One Higher: The child is one step higher
than the previous sibling.

previous sibling, but was born rst.

the previous sibling, but was born second.

lower than the previous sibling.
6974 Two Lower: The child is three steps
lower than the previous sibling.
75100 Three Lower: The child is three steps
lower than the previous sibling.

For example, the character has 3 siblings.


For the rst we roll Two Lower. Since there
is only the character, the sibling is placed
one step below the character. The next roll
gives One Higher. This sibling is older than
the previous child, but still younger than the
hero. The nal result is Two Higher, placing 2.3.5 Siblings Opinion
him above the hero and thus demoting him to
