Hello folks, new poster here to offer up a compendium class I whipped up based on a character type from the excellent D.M.Cornish’s Monster Blood Tattoo novels. I’m looking for criticism, I’m not sure if I’ve constructed the moves correctly as I was working to emulate an existing archetype and getting it to fit in the Dungeon World rules. I did deliberately break one of the rules in that the core move generates hold that the other moves make use of, but that’s not necessarily a bug unless there’s a particular reason why that wouldn’t work.
Hope you like it!
The wording needs some work in places (I’m guessing Thermistoring is “you can Volley without ammo or ranged weapon, and Arcing can be used to boost this damage;” Scinderation’s “you may increase the forward to damage” is a horrid sentence construction). Other than that though, it’s great – I’ve never heard of the source material but the flavour seems really interesting.
Duly noted and updated, thanks. 🙂
Yeah, that’s much clearer.
This looks great! I love, love, love the books, and have been trying to make a DW “alchemist” class that is basically a Scourge from MBT. Matthew Keevil – if you create such a thing and save me the effort, you would be my hero 🙂
I am planning on doing a few more MBT:DW conversions, next up will be the Wit compendium class, but you just can’t have MBT without Skolds and Scourges, so some kind of combat alchemist class will probably be in the running at some point. 🙂
I will definitely be on the lookout for any more MBT:DW material you come up with.
