Shifts
Inspired by: the Sage, Mentor, and Hermit (tarot), Wizards, Clerics, Rangers, and Paladins.
More a thinker than a doer, the experienced prefers a well conceived plan than they do rash action. Structured and steeped in ritual or routine, they are observant and make changers to their behaviours only when forced or provided with adequate proof or evidence that it is necessary.
​
While there is space and time on the experienced life for books, much of their choices come from life experience. This means that while their choices and advice might be well thought out, they are not without biases. As such, the experienced may not be old chronologically, but rather a young person with a life of experienced.

Life has not been easy on you, nor your body. As such, whenever you push yourself to physical extremes to help another person, take +1 to your next roll and -1 to all physical rolls (fight, flight, and freeze) until you are able to rest.

Earned
Whether through survival mechanisms or a job you've done most of your life, you're able to name one skill - at any time, when you are trying to utilize that skill, you may do so as if you rolled a straight success.
Wait, who are you?
Earned
While you may never forget a face, that doesn't mean you can't pretend. In order to fluster or distract another character, ask them to remind you who you are and roll fox.
