RHUNA STORY ATELIER

Rhuna: Heroes

Starting Kits

Every Hero has a story. Discover where yours begins.

In this section

A Hero's Pathways represent more than knowledge and training. They also reflect the tools, supplies, and equipment they have learned to rely upon.

During Character Creation, Heroes may select Starting Kits associated with their Pathways. These provide practical equipment suited to exploration, problem-solving, and roleplay.

Equipment is recorded in the Hero's Small Bags and Large Bag. Each line represents one item or bundled quantity of similar items.
