Next you roll for your character’s Birthsign, choosing the charge of the Warrior, Mage, or Thief and then rolling a d5 on the appropriate table. There is a chance during this step that the character will receive the Star-Cursed version of a sign instead, reflecting the threatening presence of the Serpent sign at the time of their birth. Powers granted by Birthsigns can be found in the Powers section later in this Chapter.
Luck
A player may choose to permanently reduce their character’s Luck score by 5 in order to choose a Birthsign of their choice (10 for the star-cursed version) either before or after rolling on the table. Alternatively, if the player decides to roll on the table and rolls a non-star-cursed sign, they can choose to permanently reduce their character’s Luck score by 5 to take the star-cursed version.
