These are the bonuses every character can add to certain checks throughout the game. There are four Passions: Proportion, Beauty, Sublime, and Pathos. Each Passion correlates to a certain Prowess and to different game mechanics, like Adventuring, Combat, Languages, and Spellcasting.
This is the Passion concerned with athleticism, combat, and strategy. Favored Passion for Warfare. See Combat.
This is the Passion concerned with persuasion, diplomacy, and oratory. Favored Passion for Perfidy. See Languages.
This is the Passion concerned with intelligence, knowledge, and perception. Favored Passion for Wizardry. See Spellcasting.
This is the Passion concerned with wisdom, divinity, and rhetoric. Favored Passion for Prophecy. See Spellcasting.
Each Prowess has its own Favored Passion. Your bonus in your Favored Passion determines how many Talents your character can gain and the amount of bonus Experience they earn at the end of an adventure. Every level, your character chooses a Path and gains Talents until they reach the limit given by their Favored Passion. The Talents and bonus Experience remain the same unless the character increases or decreases their Favored Passion.
