| Warriors and Mages of Nathune - Concept by Narthyxa |
INFANTRY
Fight well on a team, acting easily as leader or support. Combat trained.
- Stat bonus: +1 blocking defense every level
- Starting items: chainmail, large shield, spear, lucky charm
- Skill: archer, surgeon, or tactician
Level 1: phalanx, siege diet
Level 2: squad support
Level 3: mentor, heroic sacrifice
Level 4: team attack, rally
- Phalanx: when you block along with allies in the same melee, gain +1 defense for each, or +2 for each who is also infantry.
- Siege diet: split your meals with close companions (other player characters) to each get by on one ration per day.
- Squad support: if an ally within reach would take damage from a ranged attack, you may take the hit in their place.
- Mentor: if you have fought alongside an ally through at least one level up, when you see them perform a non-magical technique you can declare that you will practice it, and can use that technique once in a later encounter. This also works for skill stars if you have the same skill, but you can only be practicing one ability at a time.
- Heroic sacrifice: whenever an ally in the same melee would take a wound, you can choose to take the damage in their place.
- Team attack: +1 damage for each ally attacking the same target in the same round.
- Rally: once per day, call out encouragement to your allies and restore vigor of all who can see and hear you by 1d6.
BERSERKER
Enter a powerful rage to become strong and reckless. Combat trained.
- Stat bonus: +1 maximum vigor every level
- Starting items: fur cloak, hand axe (2), human skull
- Skill: survivalist, thug, or apothecary
Level 1: rage
Level 2: brutality, adrenaline
Level 3: fury
Level 4: unbreakable, wrath
- Rage: once per day, go berserk to become nearly invincible and unstoppable for three rounds. This grants +1 attack and defense, as well as ignoring wounds and postponing death rolls until rage ends. Attack choices are circumvented by your aggression, cause you to take and deal full damage, mitigated only by defense. If you rage while wearing armor, subtract its defense from 6, and roll 1d6 under the result or become strained. If you spend a round in a rage without attacking something, make a will save or eat your weapon.
- Brutality: become more powerful without a shield, increasing the attack bonus from dual wielding to +2, or granting a +1 attack bonus when wielding a weapon two-handed.
- Adrenaline: for one round per day (or a 10 second span), treat your strength as 20. Can be used in or out of combat.
- Fury: enter a rage up to three times per day, and each time you wound a foe while raging you may choose to extend the duration by one round.
- Unbreakable: gain a natural defense bonus of +1 at all times.
- Wrath: your rage now grants +2 attack and defense, as well as immunity to pain or fear based effects.
THIEF
Use stealth, skill, and luck to steal and accrue valuables. Partially trained.
- Stat bonus: +1 stealth every level
- Starting items: blackjack, dark cloak, lock & key
- Skill: cook, jeweler, or panhandler
Level 1: thievery, counterfeit
Level 2: lucky, perfect crime
Level 3: slippery, change hands
Level 4: very lucky
- Thievery: gain the locksmith and pickpocket skills with one star each.
- Counterfeit: forge a false copy of any item you stole, which will pass for the real thing under immediate scrutiny, but may be caught out later.
- Lucky: once per day, reroll any d6 roll you made, including damage rolls, skill checks, and others.
- Perfect crime: whenever you steal something that is being actively guarded, if nobody spots you or notices your passing then you will immediately gain bonus exp equal to half of the spending value of what you stole.
- Slippery: get a +3 speed bonus when retreating out of melee.
- Change hands: retroactively declare that you swapped one or more items with another character, no matter how far separated you currently are.
- Very lucky: reroll up to three separate d6 rolls per day.
DRUID
Grow useful plants when you need, using natural magic. Magic user.
- Stat bonus: +1 ration per inventory slot every level
- Starting items: cudgel, pouch of common seeds from your homeland, druidic passphrase
- Skills: thug, survivalist, or cook
Level 1: bramble, naturalist
Level 2: vine, command
Level 3: heartfruit
Level 4: arbory, wither
- Bramble: throw down a handful of bush seeds into the dirt and cause them to magically grow immediately, forming a semi-rigid barrier or short step up. These bushes will have no seeds, but fruit or vegetable bushes can provide 1 ration.
- Naturalist: none of your druid powers can be used while you knowingly touch metal, or until the next new moon after you do so. You and companions (not including vehicles) are impossible to track through natural terrain by any normal means, as long as you all travel reasonably carefully.
- Vine: throw down vine seeds into dirt, which grow up to ten meters instantly across the nearest upright solid surface. These can be used to climb easily, or they can pull down weak structures or immobilize one target, who can escape with a strength save or assistance. They will produce no seeds.
- Command: once per day, you can put any magical plant under your control for 1d6 minutes. They may remember what happened during this time, but might understand your motives.
- Heartfruit: call upon the protection of nature to grow a plant with healing fruit. It has no seeds and grows after a month of care, from then on producing a new fruit after a week, and new ones a week after harvesting. The fruit itself has thick, dark red juices and tastes salty, restoring all vigor or healing one wound.
- Arbory: once per day throw a tree seed into dirt, causing it to grow swiftly and unstoppably up to twenty meters. This tree will grow no seeds, but fruit trees can provide 1d6 rations.
- Wither: once per day, you can cause any plant to wither up and die with a touch. Deals one wound to plant creatures.
Combat trained classes are proficient with all weapons and armor. Partially trained classes can choose to be proficient with either light armor, heavy armor, or shields, as well as either proficiency with balanced weapons, mass weapons, or great weapons, or one skill star in archer or launcher. Magic user classes can choose any of their items as an arcane focus or roll for an additional item as one. Everyone is proficient with light weapons, and can gain proficiency with one particular weapon by landing three successful attacks with it. This proficiency can be gained for a new weapon, but the previous one will be lost.
