And I’m looking at Callings and, to a lesser degree, the Company formation rules. I’m wondering how to square those things!

I can only speak as an armchair quarterback, but I think Paul Mitchener has it right when he writes: Things like Treasure Hunter or Slayer are more like an approach to what they do, rather than the types of adventures they go on.

So, it’s like when Thorin goes on an adventure to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, but his greed for the Arkenstone nearly botches it all and gets him into a war. Bilbo is one the same adventure, but is not a Treasure Hunter, and so his reaction is totally different. (If I had the book in front of me I could maybe use more specific mechanical examples, but I think I’m making my point.)

I think the default assumption about all characters in TOR is that they want to go on adventures, so, in BW terms, every single one of them has a belief along the lines of, “I want to go on adventures like those Bilbo wrote about so I can help stem the tide of darkness, so I will ____________________.”
