Titan Stars

At creation, players may choose a titan star under which they are born.  The Titans are ancient figures said to have shaped Thain within its early eras.  Though few directly worship the titans now, they remain a part of Thain through the constellations, identified by particular stars in the sky.

Titan stars provide benefits when touching a bind stone.  The benefits persist for 24 hours after touching the stone.

New Skill – Herbalism

A character who takes herbalism has spent time learning to gather the local herbs and plants. She has knowledge of herbs, and a keen understanding of how to find and apply them.

This skill increases your chance of harvesting the local herbs of Thain. An Herbalism check is rolled when harvesting an herb found within the environment. Herbs can be found throughout the island with a variety of effects.

For a common herb, the check is made against a DC 12.
For an uncommon herb, the check is made against a DC 22.
For a rare herb, the check is made against a DC 32.

Social Skills

Social skills (Bluff, Intimidate, Persuade) are now class skills for all classes.  Any class may invest into social skills freely.  These are used occasionally in module conversations, but primarily useful for roleplaying purposes.
