One-line heroes

[Conaill]

That's slick, I'm going to use that one for a campaign restart this weekend.

Thanks. The character also had a "Knack" (low-level magical ability in GURPS) for throwing knives. She would also freak out quite a few people by introducing her brothers whenever the party would introduce themselves. The other PCs discovered years later (2 years real time) that she was hunted by members of her own village for stabbing her brothers to death. Long story - no she didn't do it, but the events sure traumatized her enough to knock some screws loose up there...

An adventure game?").
