Editing Leaders

{{Quote|Gathering together the most accomplished explorers in Paris, I looked closely at each. Who would become my new right hand?}}

The '''Leader''' or '''Explorer''' is your chosen avatar, the head of your party and central member of any given expedition. Leaders are chosen at the beginning of the [[Campaign]] and cannot be changed or removed as long as they remain alive. At first, only the [[Big Game Hunter]] and [[Anthropologist]] are unlocked, but as requirements are met over the course of play, further explorers are added to the list of options.

== Leader Characters ==

Each Leader has unique abilities that will direct and in some cases restrict how adventures are played out. Some also have [[Perks#Exclusive Perks|exclusive Perks]] available after each trek in addition to the standard perks.

Leaders start with more [[Health]] than [[Companions]], and have a carrying [[Capacity]] of 4 instead of 2. They start the campaign at [[Experience Level]] 2.

''Note: In the table below, Health is based on Level 2 but Abilities are based on Level 1, and "Ability X, +Y/promotion" means that "ability" starts at X at Level 1 and increases by Y for each additional level from 2 onward. Since leaders start at Level 2, one promotion increase will already be applied to Abilities.''

== Starting Parties ==
Leaders start with one pre-determined Level 1 [[Hand Item]] and two pre-determined Level 1 [[Companions]].

''Note: In the table below, numeric columns combine numbers from the leader themselves, their starting companions, and their equipment. Dice Face numbers are in decreasing order for column sorting, so the ordering of dice does not match across columns.''
