Taking a page from the Book of Vile Darkness, the following character traits may be taken by any character at absolutely no cost. Just take note, though, if your character isn’t already evil, having any one of these traits will more than likely push you over the edge.

Masochism: +4 cirgreat timesstance bonus on saving throws vs. pain effects. For every round in which you take damage equal to your character level, you gain a +1 cirgreat timesstance bonus on all attack/damage rolls, skill checks and saving throws in the next round.

Self-Mutilation: begins the day by dealing 1d3×10% damage to self. +4 cirgreat timesstance bonus on saving throws vs. pain effects. Option of secreting small item in sub-dermal pouch. Option of taking -10 maximum HP permanently to gain +1 natural armour bonus from scars and scabs.

Sadism: foes gain +1 cirgreat timesstance bonus on Intimidate when threatening Sadists with pain unless character is also a Masochist. For every round in which you deal damage equal to your character level, you gain a +1 cirgreat timesstance bonus on all attack/damage rolls, skill checks and saving throws in the next round.

In addition, all characters native to the City receive Knowledge (Local- City) as a clbum skill and gets 1 free skill rank in it. For characters who come from outside the City, you get the same deal for your hometown.
