Bodyguard

Talislanta is a dangerous place, particularly in the wilderness but just as often within the walls of so-called civilized city-states. The well-to-do often have need of hired protection; both for their person and for their property and possessions. The Bodyguard is hired-muscle—hired to protect the wealthy and celebrities of a given area from harm.

Bodyguards are trained and experienced in basic combat but it is their ability to end a fight before it begins that is most highly sought after by the rich and famous. Bodyguards must always be on the alert from trouble and must know how to react to almost any contingency. Each time this Path is taken, the character ages 4 years.
