Punchy Fantasy RPG: Cooking Characters in GLAIVE

GLAIVE is a rules toolkit for running old-school fantasy RPGs created by Scott Wegener. Talent-powered competent adventurers in standard adventure fantasy game. Check out the book here . We are using v2.2 of the game. This is traditional fantasy game, so I'll keep [Dimaapi] archetype in mind to make a typical fighter/combatant dude to start things off. See Cooking Characters Primer for more details about archetypes. So, let's make our adventurer and dive into the character creation rules!  Step 1. Roll for background, gear, and bond.  Rolled [12] and [59] on background table (d100). A smuggler liberator character is appealing, so I'll go with Smuggler.  I like him already.  Now for gear, I have to get a dungeoneering gear pack and choose a weapon of choice. Rolled [5] on Dungeoneering Gear, so I get Swordman's Pack (lucky!). Then I'll choose a Sword  as a weapon to complement it. I imagine our character the guy who takes front in tunnels, and wards off trouble...
