By Martin Laurie, Stephen Martin, Wesley Quadros, and Ian Thomson. Based on material by Greg Stafford, Steve Perrin, and Sandy Petersen. Copyright Issaries Inc, 2001. Permission is given to print one copy only for personal use. (This page is designed as an insert to the Pavis and Big Rubble Companion: Vol 2 The Masks of Pavis, since space problems meant it could not be included there. This has been slightly altered from the official work in progress version. Thanks to Issaries Inc for permission to post this.) Yelmalio assigns gifts and geases as only he understands. Often a worshipper will gain the same gift as another but have a different geas. Narrators may choose to assign the specific gift and geas, or may allow the player at least to choose the gift. If a gift grants an ability that a hero already has, or indicates it should be raised to a level that the hero already possesses, the appropriate rating instead increases permanently by +5.
