For day 7 of the challenge I am going with a character for Beyond the Wall again.

I find I tend to stick to the same playbooks when creating a group of characters for a solo adventure. My go to spellcaster is the witches ‘prentice playbook but for my next adventure I wanted to try something a little different and outside my comfort zone so I will be creating a character using the ‘Self-Taught Mage playbook. This is a playbook I have never used before so it will be interesting to see how the PC turns out.

The Self-taught mage begins with an intelligence of 12 and all other attributes start at 8.

1. What did your parents do in the village and what did you learn from them? d12 roll = 12.
   Your farther was a local merchant. You learned to name your price and charm your customers.
