+==== Background Edges ====
+These Edges are typically advantages a
+character is born with, learns from
+prolonged and extensive training, or
+gains after exposure to certain events.
+Players can choose these Edges
+after character creation with a
+little rationalization. An individual might choose the Attractive
+Edge, for example, by cleaning herself up, getting a
+makeover, and generally
+paying more attention
+to her looks. Characters
+might be able to gain the
+Arcane Background Edge
+by finding a book of forbidden knowledge or training
+with another arcane type in
+their party during downtime between adventures.

+==== Leadership Edges ====
+Leadership Edges grant bonuses to allies,
+making them more effective, reliable, or
+durable.
+Unless an Edge says otherwise, it only
+affects allied Extras. Wild Cards only benefit
+if the leader has the Natural Leader Edge.
+Leadership Edges aren’t cumulative with
+the same Edge from other leaders. Characters
+may benefit from different Leadership Edges
+by the same or different leaders, however.
+Command Range: Allies must be within 5″
+(10 yards) to benefit from her abilities. This is
+called her “Command Range.”

+==== Professional Edges ====
+Professional Edges reflect years of practice or
+experience in a particular trade, activity, or
+craft. In some cases they may also represent
+special blessings from higher powers as well.
+Players may purchase Professional Edges
+after character creation, perhaps roleplaying
+the achievement by practicing the affected
+trade during downtime or in between
+adventures.
+Stacking: Bonuses to the same Trait from
+different Professional Edges do not stack.
+Apply only the highest.

+their campaign world—such as gaining a
+stronghold or divine favor—but a few fit
+most anywhere. Here are a few that should
+fit most every setting or genre, from the
+dungeons of swords & sorcery worlds to the
+far-flung worlds of futuristic space operas.
