Great deeds list
Avalon only recruits those who have accomplished something heroic, an act of valour that has had a resounding impact on the many or the few. Knights are meant to be raised aloft as the best Humankind has to offer, not common, average people. Their past deeds are the foundation for their growing legend, the bedrock on which to build their story and show the world they have that special something that inspires and rekindles hope.
The required deed may have been performed years ago or just a few weeks prior to the character’s recruitment to Avalon–what matters is the lasting impact of the deed itself. Great deeds have conditions and prerequisites, many of them needing a certain score in an aspect or characteristic. Each deed grants a bonus to an aspect score and its corresponding characteristics. Finally, a character’s great deed determines their callsign, the handle they will use for their whole career in Avalon– that is, unless they survive long enough to prove themselves worthy of ascending to the Round Table. A list of appropriate callsigns accompanies each of the great deeds below. These are just suggestions, however, and players are free to choose any fitting callsign they wish.
If none of the following great deeds suit the player’s character concept, they may (with the GM’s approval) come up with a deed and corresponding bonuses, similar to the ones presented here.
