3. Templates
Just a note about templates: simply add the value proposed. You don’t
need to make any maths, we made it for you: for example, as you can see
in the Ancient template, Toughness +6 is gained with augmented Vigor,
Armor and Size.
3.1. Ancient - Template
An Ancient is a ”template” that you can apply on a ”normal” beast, when
you need a more powerful enemy quickly. Ancient animals are found in
the deep of forests or other natural enviroments, usually guarding sacred
places, or objects that needs to remain hidden from the civil men forever.
The creature becomes a Wild Card, if it wasn’t before.
