Explain why another character not in the party might follow in your footsteps should you fall." I added this to avoid party break-up and to have an in-game reason for a rescue party. At the table I did a little question/summary thing for the other players. "So Borg, you're a butcher turned monster hunter... I guess you must know Wim, since his father has been an engineer for underground architecture. Who else? Zach is the son of the undertaker, perhaps there's a strange connection? And Fenyael the elf is not from Cauldron... Hm... Then again, Ariel is half-elven and took nobility... Maybe she's interested in Fenyael because he's a potential lead back to her mother or something? And who would inquire about Fenyael? Ah, one of the librarians is a remote relative. Cool..."It didn't take a whole session, but it did take a few minutes per character.</blockquote>
