Soul Scars
Experience changes you
♨
Some experiences leave more than memories. A Soul Scar is a permanent mark recorded when an event fundamentally changes a character.
In this chapter
Public knowledgeA unique consequence
A Soul Scar may carry an ability or skill that reflects what happened rather than something selected from a normal progression menu.
Some can sense them
Most people may see nothing at all, while certain powers or characters may sense that a scar and its bound power exist.
Not a checklist
Exact triggers are deliberately withheld so players live toward stories rather than farm known trigger conditions.
Character history made mechanical
Soul Scars turn extraordinary personal history into a permanent part of character identity.
Discovery is part of the system: exact Soul Scar triggers are intentionally not published. The point is for defining experiences to emerge from play rather than from farming a checklist.
