Lover

Source: D&D Wiki (SCAR Version)

You've always had a special kind of charm on people. For some reason, people see you as an ideal candidate for an evening of fun, or a lifelong partner. This ... skill(?)... gave you a rather strange point of view on life.


What sort of lover are you? What do people remember you for the most? What are you searching for in life? Are you running from anything?
