Introduction

A starting pack that favors the players who wish to call the seas of Idalos home. Be these Biqaj character’s looking to make the sea their home, players who wish to pursue a life of piracy, and everything in between.

Wealth Tier

Someone taking Option 1 of this package, has their starting Wealth Tier based on their Wealth Skill.

If the player takes Option 2 their starting Wealth Tier is based on their Wealth Skill +1 Wealth Tier. For example, if you start in Wealth Tier 2 and choose Option 2 your starting Wealth Tier is 3.
