  This book will help you create a Knight character for 
  your game of FirstFable. If you would rather just start 
  playing right away, the middle of this book contains a 
  fully created, playable Knight character named Roland. 
  Just write your name on the line that says “Player” and 
  you’re ready to go!
  If you want to make your own Knight character, though, 
  start here!
  Step One: Fill in the Blanks
  Here are five questions to answer to help you think 
  about your character: 
  Is your Knight a girl or a boy?
  ____________________________________________
  What is your Knight’s favorite color?
  ____________________________________________
  What does your Knight do for fun?
  ____________________________________________
  What is your Knight’s favorite food?
  ____________________________________________
  What is your Knight afraid of?
  ____________________________________________
  Step Two: Where Does your Knight Shine?
  ____________________________________________
  ____________________________________________
  ____________________________________________
  You get to decide three things your Knight is really good 
  at. They can be anything you want! Your Knight might 
  be great at riding a horse, making pretty speeches, 
  fighting with a lance, lifting heavy things, hunting, 
  carving wood sculptures or anything else you can think 
  of. These special skills are called Shines. 
  Write your Shines on your character sheet, and write a 
  “1” after them to show they give you one bonus. But be 
  sure to do it in pencil! You will have the chance to get 
  better at your Shines during the game, and even add 
  new Shines!
  Step Three: Where is your Knight Slow?
  ____________________________________________
  Everybody has something they’re not so good at. Some 
  people don’t run very fast, and some people can’t read 
  or write very well. That doesn’t make them bad or 
  stupid, but it can sure make things hard sometimes. 
  Your Knight has some skill or task that he or she just 
  isn’t great at. This is called a Weakness. A Weakness is 
  the same kind of thing as a Shine, but it’s something 
  your Knight just can’t quite get right. 
  Decide what your Knight’s Weakness is, and write it on 
  the character sheet where it says “Weakness.” 
  Step Four: Pick One Special Thing
  ____________________________________________
  All characters in FirstFable get one Special Thing. For 
  Knights, this Special Thing is usually a special Weapon 
  that the Knight was given during his or her training. 
  We’re going to tell you how to make up your Special 
  Weapon. If you want your Knight to have a different 
  Special Thing, though (like an Animal Friend or a 
  Magic Spell), talk to the Grown-Up. He or she will 
  help you make up the Special Thing that you want for 
  your Knight. 
  When you’ve decided on your Special Thing, write its 
  name on the first “Special Thing” line on the character 
  sheet, and color in all five of the stars. Your Grown-Up 
  will explain what that means during the game. 
  Building your character

  To make up a Special Weapon, answer these questions:
  What kind of object is your Special Weapon?
  ____________________________________________ 
  Examples: Sword, shield, lance, mace.
  What can your Special Weapon do to help you?
  ____________________________________________
  Examples: Fight, cut through rock, make magic light.
  Where did you get your Special Weapon?
  ____________________________________________
  Draw a picture of your Special Weapon.

  Playing the Knight
  Here are a few things to think about when you’re 
  playing a Knight character:
  Knights Are Honorable 
  Knights don’t lie, even when it would be a good idea. 
  They tell the truth, they help people, and they don’t 
  hurt people unless they’re protecting someone. 
  Knights Are Fighters
  Knights can fight (though they’d rather not hurt others). 
  They learn how to fight as part of their training, and it’s 
  something they take pride in.
  Knights Are Educated
  They tend to come from families with money, and they 
  learn how to read and write. Many Knights are poets 
  and artists, too. 
  Knights Don’t Let Bad Guys Get Away 
  Knights might not want to beat up or hurt bad guys, 
  but they don’t want to let the bad guys get away, either. 
  They want to make sure that people are safe.
  Knights Are Protectors
  Knights watch out for smaller, weaker or just unluckier 
  people. They sometimes wind up seeming kind of bossy 
  because of that, but it isn’t that they want to boss 
  people around, they just want everyone to be safe. 
  Extra Questions 
  Here are a few more questions about your Knight. 
  You don’t have to answer these questions, but if you 
  answer all of them, you get an extra Shine to add to 
  your character! You get this Shine no matter when 
  you finish, so if you don’t want to decide on an answer 
  until the Adventure starts, but then you figure out the 
  answer during the Adventure, you can add the Shine 
  right there and then!
  What was the name of the noble that taught your Knight to 
  be a Knight?
  ____________________________________________
  What was the name of your Knight’s first horse?
  ____________________________________________
  What knightly lesson was the hardest for your Knight to master?
