| d6 | The Incident |
|---|---|
| 1 | You sustained a minor injury and it became infected |
| 2 | You were in a farm/ workplace accident. |
| 3 | You were in a fight, your limb was injured and had to be amputated (You are to blame) |
| 4 | You were in a fight, your limb was injured and had to be amputated (You are blameless) |
| 5 | You were cursed/ the limb was lost as a concenquence of a magic gone wrong. |
| 6 | Cancer of the limb meant the amputation was the only way to save your life |
After your incident you became very good at reading people, seeing sympathetic looks and understanding eyes and pity, so much pity.
Your injury is not easy to hide and you know where you can find a sympathetic face in each town, and recognize those sympathetic to your situation readily and quickly. These people will provide you a place to hide, rest, or recuperate unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. In accepting this help however, you also must accept the pity, the exaggerated concern and distrust in your skill and ability. They will underestimate you and you will have to work harder to show you are capable, that you are able to do anything they can.
You can readily find help and aid, but it may cost you a little of your pride.
