If you’re used to DND, think of Edges like the collection of features that make up a “Class.” But with Savage Worlds, you pick and choose exactly what this means for your character.
There are many to choose from, but try not to get overwhelmed - remember, your character starts out as a Novice, which restricts your choices.
Don’t worry if you don’t choose any Edges when creating your character! You can always choose them when advancing later.
