Cultural Limitation

What Curna Doesn't Prepare You For

Curnanites generally receive far more exposure to books, cities, laboratories, machinery, and structured education than to wilderness survival.

This is not permanent.

Your:

  • Background
  • Class
  • Training
  • Personal history
  • Adventures
  • Later experience

can override this limitation.

A Curnanite Ranger raised outside the city, for example, should not suddenly forget how forests work simply because they were born in Curna.
