Signer (HD d4)
By Christopher Campbell (planehopping@hotmail.com)
"I'm sorry I laughed at you, but I promised myself I wouldn't take myself so seriously. I hadn't realized it, but now that I see you, I realize I have quite a sense of humor."
Everything is an illusion, a temporary construct by the One True Being, the only living thing in the multiverse. The One True Being might be you -- it might be me -- who knows? Better safe than sorry. Live life like everything revolves around you...because it might.
This self-centered philosophy is hard for many people to stomach, but there are those that lend it credence. Called signers, the elite members of the Sign of One faction manifest fantastic mental abilities that allow them to manipulate matter and delve into the mysteries of the past and future. Spellcasters discover the uniqueness of their own spirit before other classes, but all walks of life can be found among the signers. Because they do not know who is real and who is an illusion, they struggle with an inner turmoil, fighting the growing doubt that they are not real. Thus, advancement as a signer is much slower than another path a person might choose. But how can you risk ignoring your destiny? You'd only be cheating yourself...
