How Do You Get New Focuses in Dragon Age PnP?

The pen-and-paper -- PnP -- version of the "Dragon Age" video game series allows players to create their own heroes for adventures in the Blight-ravaged lands of Ferelden. Heroes choose their skills from the class options found in "Dragon Age: Origins," gaining new special powers and abilities as they gain experience against the threats of the Blight. Focuses increase the power of an ability, increasing dice rolls made with that ability by two. Gaining focuses grants heroes the ability to challenge ever-increasing hazards.

Instructions

- 1
  Defeat hazards posed by the Game Master, the player running the game, until you accumulate enough experience to move to the next level. Characters attain new focuses at each level.
- 2
  Choose a focus from the list provided by the Game Master. Players may only choose a focus based on their primary abilities on increases to even-numbered levels. Odd levels grant the character a focus for one of their secondary abilities. Character class determines primary and secondary abilities.
- 3
  Confirm your choices with the Game Master. The Game Master may decide to limit some focuses, such as Arcane Lore, based on the rules of their campaign.
