Pick the Dice
You are not bound to choose the dice corresponding to your race but in that case, your character does not have a usual mentality for their race.
| Dice | Description | Associated with | Critical | Fumble | Probability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D20 | Good old days | None | 1 | 20 | 5% |

Pick the Second-Life
You play a doubler and you get to choose your Second-Life which grants you magic ability. See Double-Life for more details.
At which level do you start?
The Raw Xp to Assign should follow the lore of the character and should be assigned as evenly as possible (as Effingdurn's training would focus on each important aspect of a Doubler's life).
| Title | Starting Xp for second-life | Age | Starting raw Xp to assign | Starting base gear (equivalent dice) | Specificity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Example of youth
Poor
- You do not know how to comport in high society.
- You passed your childhood helping on the farm or stealing/begging in the street.
- You are an orphan.
- You are very close to a sick parent.
- Being a doubler is the opportunity of your life to seek fortune.
Basic
- Basic life with your family, helping them but also playing with other children, going outside, …
Well Bearing
- Your family is well-bearing not because of an old legacy of wealth but because they are hard-workers.
- Your family owns a successful forge, shop, workshop, …
- You know your job but not much else. Being a double-living is your occasion to see everything else.
Wealthy
- You passed your childhood being tutored in various fields but you rarely went outside of the domain.
- Your parents do not want you to waste their money and your life to go on adventures. Apart from the money you stole/gathered, you won't get more from your family and will need to avoid being caught and repatriated at home.

You have a certain amount of xp points to use to educate your character given your level of education.
