    • Coming of Age

      I was just wondering around what age the Coming of Age ceremony usually takes place. I have looked throughout the book and could not find any specified age. If you would be so kind as to inform me I would be much appreciative.

      On a side note, I love the system. I have read a large number of rpg systems and Shard is one of my favorites.

      We're glad you enjoy the system, Sacred. And thank you for the compliment.

      The age for coming of age ceremonies varies by region, profession, and sometimes by Zoic type, but generally they range from 13-18. In general, farmers and other agrarian types (who usually come from small villages) tend to have their coming of age ceremonies at a younger age, whereas warriors and soldiers tend toward the middle-ranges, and scholars, priests, and sorcerers (who usually come from well-established cities) tend toward the older ranges.

      Hope that helps.
