Party Bonds¶

For quick and easy party cohesion, it is recommended that each player generate one or more bonds with their fellow adventurers. Roll twice on the table below and choose the most appropriate and/or fun connection.

The examples provided are for inspiration, and should be modified to suit your campaign. They are primarily in the vein of prior professions, or significant past events, but could easily be rejigged as ongoing concerns.
