Soul Coins!!

Ok, thanks to an innovative idea, im introducing a simple perk based system into my world. This will be nothing overpowered, and be more to flavor or add small bonuses to starting characters.

System - Every 1st level character starts with 3 soul coins. You can buy any one perk for 1 coin, and can only buy one at a time. And yes. I am calling it the soul coin system. Cause I can.

Add a +1 racial bonus to fear saves

Add a +1 racial bonus to poison saves
Double your starting standard gold

Add 2 to the skill bonus of a familiar, or one to a save bonus of a familiar

Hexblade -

And thats it. nothing dramatically tough. just a point of damage or a bonus to saves here and there to add some diversity and possibilities to character creation.
