What competition are you best known for winning at?
| d8 | Preferred Race Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rowing. You're a champion rower, in peak physical shape. |
| 2 | Horse Racing. You're a petite jockey, in perfect control of your steed, always analyzing the track for advantages. |
| 3 | Sprinter. Over short distances, no one gets the better of you. Your strength is explosive and intense. |
| 4 | Marathon Runner. You go the distance, and always finish what you start. None can outlast you. |
| 5 | Iron man. No terrain can stop you, as you conquer each with ease. Where everyone else specializes, your versatility allows you to dominate. |
| 6 | Swimming. You're at home in the water. Your movements are effortless, and agile. The more resistance you face, the more you stand apart from the crowd. |
| 7 | Flying. Whether on a winged mount, or under your own power, your fearless style of flight pushes the limits and leaves your competition in the dust. |
| 8 | Uncommon animals. Wait? They really race those things? What kind of insane roughneck would put their life on the line to... Oh... You mean you race them? |
You are driven to succeed. The idea of any kind of competition gives you a second wind in your attempts. Once per day you can use a reaction to gain advantage on skill checks that are directly countered by another character, or NPC's own skill check (both checks do not need to be of the same skill, but do need to made against the other check). The decision to impose the reaction can be made after both first checks are made, but before the DM determines the outcome.
Suggested Characteristics
| d8 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I slap people on the butt as encouragement. I don't think anything of it. |
| 2 | I'm pretty sure I am having conversations with my mount. |
| 3 | I believe my ability to compete is akin to an art form. |
| 4 | Wait, you expect me to pay for that? Don't you know who I am? |
| 5 | Yes, I am very successful. Yes, I'm still in my sibling's shadow. |
| 6 | I'm so generous, I throw about offers to buy drinks for everyone, or other tokens, often without a thought as to whether or not I have the coin to do so. |
| 7 | I have quite a big complex over some part of my physical self (very short, extra fingers, etc) and I try to hide it from notice, and also by over compensating in competitions. |
| 8 | Luck is very important to me, and I become obsessive over any ritual, or item I believe that could give me an advantage in competition. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To beat them is my real test, to win is my cause. |
| 2 | I'd rather lose a fair competition than win from an accident. |
| 3 | To speak ill of my competition, win or lose, cheapens my own performance. If I lost, and they're terrible, how much worse must I be? If I won, and they're terrible, it's not at all impressive that I won. |
| 4 | It doesn't matter how you get to the top of the podium. Being there is all. |
| 5 | I only do this because I'm good at it, and it pays the bills. What I really love to do would embarrass me if it were known due to my machismo image. |
| 6 | All that matters is being happy. Racing is losing its thrill for me, and I miss the high victories used to give me. |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | My mount. Whether it's living or not, I treat it as gold, it is an old friend to me. |
| 2 | My competitors. I race many of the same people often, and have developed deep ties with the group. We compete against one another, and then all raise a toast to whomever wins the day. |
| 3 | The integrity of my sport. Anyone who insults the sport earns my deep ire. I love my competition, and any slight is a personal wound. |
| 4 | My reputation. I am the best. Always have been. Always will be. No one can say otherwise without earning a broken nose. |
| 5 | The people who got me here. I'm just part of the team that made me so good. I owe everything to those who first believed in me. |
| 6 | A deal with the devil. I may only be this good because I made a deal with someone, or something to get an advantage. I can't betray that bond without losing everything I ever wanted. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I drink too much, and celebrate too fully. It effects me worse, and for longer each time. |
| 2 | I started betting on races. As successful as I am personally at racing, I've become deeply indebted to my bookie. I've been asked to throw races. |
| 3 | A huge part of my success was my mount, I no longer have the one that carried me to so many victories. |
| 4 | I've just recovered from a significant injury that sidelined me for a long time. I'm not confident I'll ever make a comeback. |
| 5 | I've been doping for an advantage. Right from the start. I know a lot of competitors who do it. My biggest rival is not one of them. |
| 6 | I have no flaws. I'm absolutely perfect in every way, shape, and form. I am an Adonis. The gods will place me among the stars by the end of my life. (And no one can convince me otherwise) |
You are driven to win. If you're not first, you're last. You can not stand losing, and it shows.
Whenever you lose a skill check in competition with another player or NPC's skill check, (does not need to be the same skill) you can gain an advantage in what comes next. You get the immediate next movement or action, which can be a surprise attack, or attack of opportunity. However, for the next round of combat, until your first turn after every other creature in combat has had a turn, all attacks against you have advantage, and any saving throws you make have disadvantage, while you throw your little tantrum.
Grow up.
