Special Characters

Every year the Lorien Trust receives many requests for special creatures from players and a limited number of these requests are granted. Before submitting your request for a special creature, make sure that you are not asking for an ability that can be role-played without a special creature card. Most backgrounds and character concepts do not require special creature status; they can be role-played at least as effectively without (if everybody was a special creature, they wouldn't be a special).

All players are welcome to submit a request for a special creature to head office, but please be aware that due to the number of requests many have to be refused. Some categories of request are automatically refused for reasons of game balance, for example requests for powers that considered excessive, requests for more than two or three abilities and requests for a special creature with abilities that would unbalance the game. The Lorien Trust imposes a minimum age of 14 for most special creature requests, although each special is judged on a case by case basis and some younger players may be permitted a special creature.
