CC CaB Early Existence

__NOTOC__
==Early Existence==
After the formation of a Cave Burrower's Jewel Heart within the ground, the Burrower's physically-manifested body will materialize over the next decade or so. During this time, the Mountain Mouse's level of activity can vary greatly, as some sleep for most of it, and others get right to experimenting with metalworking, or exploring out onto the overland.
Eventually, this infancy will end for any Burrower who winds up joining society, but during this stage you will choose how your first years were spent.
===Selection Methods===
There are four methods to determine the nature of your Early Existence:
*Random: Roll d6 and subtract 1.
*Intentional: Choose your Early Existence.
*Creative: Make one of your own following the listed Effects (get GM approval).
*Comprehensive: Roll Early Existence dice pool from Birthplace. Count each dice that rolls a 6 or higher as an "Advance," and find the row that matches the number of Advances rolled.
===Effects===
Increase three Attributes by 1 and increase five Skills by 1.
