Character Goals

Character Goals- list from White Dwarf 54. Choose up to 4 goals from the list below or suggested by player and agreed by GM. At the start of an encounter/scene, declare if you are acting in pursuit of one of your goals. Each PC can declare one goal per encounter/scene. If you then act* in accordance with goal I will award at least a Minor Quest XP award, or more depending on particular achievement, roleplay etc. You can replace a goal each level.

*For some goals such as Battle Glory and Wealth this may require going beyond D&D's default 'Kill Things & Take Their Stuff' play mode.
