Some notes on starting characters:

All characters, when created, have a chance to have a unique starting ability (See the Rulebook, page 20). This includes starting characters.  If a character is determined to have a special ability, which special ability is granted will be modified by the character's nation (For example, if a nation has a higher chance of Stealth.)  A character may start with any of the following special abilities:

1. A Command Skill bonus, or the Command skill if the character normally does not have it.
2. An Emissary Skill bonus, or the Emissary skill if the character normally does not have it.
3. An Agent Skill bonus, or the Agent skill if the character normally does not have it.
4. A Mage skill bonus, or the Mage skill if the character normally does not have it.
5. A lost spell, if character is a Mage.
6. A bonus to the Stealth Skill.
7. A bonus to the Challenge Rank.
8. A bonus to the character's ability to heal.
