Famous Explorers

“	“As I sipped my drink that evening, I was approached by Percy Fawcett, famous explorer and hunter of the Lost City of Z!”

Famous Explorers are real-world celebrities of the Victorian Era. One will be your main rival during the campaign, and others may randomly offer to join you for a single trek along the way.

Unlike Leaders and Companions, Famous Explorers:

• do not take up any character slots in your party;
• do not have Experience Levels and thus cannot be promoted;
• do not have a Loyalty attribute;
• have a base Capacity of only 1;
• have a unique drawback among their abilities;
• have pre-set Equipment that cannot be changed in any way.

Note: Famous Explorer equipment has the same level as the current campaign year (1 in 1886, 2 in 1887 etc.)
