The Blessed

The Blessed — the bundled class portrait

A chosen vessel of the Gods Below, working small miracles and communing with powers older than the village. The Blessed is the class with the most moving parts on the sheet — this is where they all live.

Your sacred pouch

The pouch is a special item that appears on your Inventory tab from creation. It holds up to 3 Stock and takes up no Load, so it never fights your carrying capacity for space.

Track Stock with the pouch's use circles — the row of dots on its card. Tap one to spend a Stock, tap it again when you replenish. The pouch's details (what it's made of, its remarkable trait) come from the creation prompts and stay on the card as notes, so the table can see them.

If you took Vessel, remember you can lose 2d4 HP instead of spending a Stock. That's a fiction choice, not a button — take the HP off on the Stats tab.

Your background's grant

Each background hands you something different, and Sled Dog applies it during character creation:

  • Initiate — the standard start.
  • Raised by Wolves — adds the Trackless Step move to your Moves tab.
  • Vessel — adds Danu's Grasp.

You'll find granted moves on the Moves tab with a badge showing where they came from, so an inherited move never looks like one you picked.

Special possessions

You choose two, in addition to the sacred pouch — and in Sled Dog they aren't just line items. Each one unpacks into the things it actually gives you:

PossessionWhat lands on your sheet
ApiaryBeeswax and honey, plus candles as a small item
Herb gardenShears and mortars, spades, and bendis root with 1d4 uses
Goat herdMilk, cheese, pelts — and a chance of a bezoar each season
Collected offeringsA 3-use item, restoring 1 use per season
Mastiffs2–3 followers, not inventory

The mastiffs are the one to watch: they show up on your Followers tab, with their own HP, damage, instinct, and cost, because that's what they are. Discuss the exact number with your GM.

Your acolytes

The Blessed's NPCs — Enfys, Afon, Gwendyl — are followers too. Add them from the Followers tab's Manage button, then edit each one to fill in the details you chose at creation (their pronoun, temperament, and so on).

Stock is the resource the whole class runs on. If you take one habit from this page, make it tapping the pouch's circles as you spend — it's the difference between a sheet that's accurate at the end of the session and one that isn't.
