Income and Expenditure During Sessions by Work

Skills
If PC acquire work skills, they may earn rewards and
experience points between sessions based on the "Income
and Experience" rules (see p. 49).
The number of times these can be attempted is limited
to the "Number of Growth" in "Growth of Each Sample
Character" (previous section).
If you earn income or experience points, you can
increase them and use them immediately. However, if you
earn these rewards or experience points with a sample
character, you will not earn "Work XP". In the case of a
sample character, work skills are treated as having grown
through previous adventures, etc.
However, you cannot earn "Work XP" in this way
(because they are already treated as being consumed for
growth).

Sample characters can be used as they are, but if players

wish, some degree of arrangement is possible.

Change to Rare Species

You can change the race of 'Elf Fairy Tamer' and
'Runefolk Heavy Warrior' characters to their respective
'Rare Species' (see AR, p. 34, 38). The only thing that will
change is racial abilities.

Elements That can be Arranged and Points to Note

The following items list elements of the arrangement
that can be easily changed in a relatively short time.
Please note that if you want to add an arrangement to
the sample character, it will take some time to rewrite the
sheet, etc.

Some Active Combat Feats

It is relatively easy to rearrange the active combat feats
you have learned into something else. Since passive combat
feats affect equipment and ability scores, it is not
recommended that they be changed.

Accessories
You may wish to sell some of the accessories equipped
in any section. In that case, you can add it as money at the
base price. If there is another accessory you want, you can
purchase a new accessory with that money.
