This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site.

Vermin Hunter

The Vermin Hunter is one of many unsavory characters hired to combat the endless swarms of nasty pests & hungry rodents that infest the Borderlands. Devoted to her work & hungry for coin, eventually the Vermin Hunter crossed the line & was imprisoned for the burning of Château Bäredräck along with several important members of that influential household. Countless hours spent hunting through cramped passages & crawlspaces for squirming, chittering things has made the Vermin Hunter an efficient terminator but a difficult travel companion.

The Foothills

The Foothills are a prodigious expanse of roling hillsides & pastures spotted with farmsteads & ancient stone fortifications eroded by the wind that offer shelter to vagrants, cults, refugees & robbers. Processions of Weirds travel freely across the countryside; part warband & part circus parade, they spread their insanity unchallenged & unabated.
