Background
Storm-Marked

You've been touched by Tor (Rainmaker, Thunderhead, Slayer-of-Beasts!) and bear runic markings similar to those etched into The Stone. When did the marks manifest? Are they a symbol of your strength, speed, and courage? Or their source?

You start with the Storm Markings major arcana. Mark one of the boxes on the front of the Storm Markings sheet, and describe here the time you were struck by lightning and walked away unharmed: see Storm Clouds Overhead.

Strength: 16 (+2)

Dexterity: 8 (-1)

Moves
Armored

When you wear armor, ignore its clumsy tag. Also, increase your Load by 2.

Guardian

When you Defend, gain 1 extra hold. Even on a 6-, you gain 1 hold.

Hard to Kill

When you are at Death's Door, roll +CON instead of +nothing (minimum of +1). On a 12+, you immediately regain 1 HP.

Musclebound

Requires Strength 15+

When you make a hand-to-hand or thrown attack, it's forceful and messy. If it would already be forceful and/or messy, it's more so.

Storm Markings

When you roil with anger, you do +1 damage ongoing until you calm down. But when you try to control your temper, roll +WIS: on a 10+, you keep your cool and act as you wish; on a 7-9, choose 1 from the list below; on a 6-, you just lose it - tell the GM what damn fool thing you end up doing. When you are struck by lightning or an electrical discharge, mark 1, take no damage, and suffer no ill effects (your gear, ala, has no such protection):
 * Take some deep breaths and count to ten, fuming all the while.
 * Vent your rage, but tell us how and on what.

⚫⭕⭕ When you make the last mark, you unlock the mysteries of the Storm Markings and can use Storm's Fury.

When you would make a mark but have already marked all 3, set your Fury to 3.
