===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Survivor====

'''Combat:''' Survivors simply wish to survive.  Their melee combat suffers, but in return they gain fantastic defensive abilities to make it to the end.  With a fair skill set, a survivor is likely one who supports his allies, using them as his sword in battle.  Survivors must seek other classes to determine how they shall do battle with others.

'''Advancement:''' Survivors are not always just survivors alone, they are other things too.  Be they commoners who managed to endure a rough life, or player characters who took up a defensive streak, their advancement is often based not on survivor but what they were before and what they will become.

'''Resources:''' Survivors do not gather, to be a survivor is to earn it all your own.

====Survivors in the World====

'''NPC Reactions:''' Survivors are often respected for their ability to endure the punishments which should kill other men.  Their reputation as undefeatable juggernauts is well deserved.

====Survivor Lore====

Characters with ranks in Knowledge Local can research survivors to learn more about them.  When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

{| class="zebra d20"
|+ Knowledge Local
! DC || class="left" | Result
|-
| 10 || class="left" | Survivors are those which have endured much, and can endure more.  They prove able to shrug off or avoid damage.
|-
| 15 || class="left" | Some survivors are able to resist the power of spells as well, and go against a fatal attack and live.
|-
| 20 || class="left" | High level survivors are extremely hard to keep death, seeming to come back from the brink stronger than ever.
|- 
| 30 || class="left" | Those that reach this level of success can research specific survivors, their whereabouts, motives, lore, things they've endured, and more.
|}

====Survivors in the Game====

'''Adaptation:''' 0 BAB growth is true to the original class, but if you desire all classes have some BAB growth, consider giving poor BAB to the survivor.

'''Sample Encounter:''' A survivor of the town has gone off to rid the town of a terrible yuan-ti menace... and has not returned.  Has the survivor been slain?  Seek him out, and find what happened.
