TYPES
The Dilettante
The Enclaves are highly socially-evolved communities where complex political structures, class systems and behaviours are ingrained in all aspects of Imperial life. None understand the minutiae behind this minefield of etiquette better than the aristocratic high society. Referred to as “The Great Game”, this pseudo-political back-and-forth can get people killed more easily than a sharp blade or can ruin a reputation with well-placed words.
The Dilettante is almost always born into high society, or at the very least have come into money. They expect a certain quality of life but at the same time are expected to present a civilized demeanour that others aspire to. Masters of manipulation and diplomacy, Dilettantes are more than simply ‘bored rich people’, possessing skills and abilities reserved for those who can afford to study them.
PRIMARY STATISTIC: Intellect
STARTING TALENTS: Dilettantes start with a selection of Talents which allow them to persuade and manipulate others, or alter themselves in a variety of ways to elicit a desired response from those they interact with.
WHY PLAY A DILETTANTE? : Sometimes, having the ear of the right person, calling in favours from influential contacts, or persuading someone to see things your way can be more advantageous than being the smartest or most intimidating person in the room. Dilettantes use their resources and charm to attain their objectives, concealing their often merciless agendas behind sweetened words. If you wish to depict a character who thrives on their wit and allure, unbound by financial constraints, then a Dilettante might be for you.
