Hi folks,
I’m looking for feedback on these class moves. I wrote them a few years ago, before DW was publicly released, and then revised them a couple of years back when DW was released as CC BY.
Now that Grim Portents will be publishing regular content as a blog, I wanted to clean them up, polish them off and put them on the blog.
Because they’ve already been shared in a few different forms over a few years, I’m not precious about them. Feel free to be brutal: “Delete Detect Chaos, it’s a waste of space”; “Wellness is weaksauce”, etc. If the result is that only half or a third of them make the grade, that’s not a problem to me.
Thanks
Wellness is indeed weaksauce. ^^
Iron Mind needs to be cleaned up.
Blindsight – you can do that already with DR
Death attack: can you explain how that works?
Hey Tim Franzke, thanks for your feedback. With Death Attack, the idea is that you can backstab them once to set up a weakness, and then backstab them again for a guaranteed kill. I should specify that the enemy that you’re sizing up has to be the one that you’re attacking.
At level 6, would you need 2 attacks to kill them or shouldn’t the first backstab be enough?
Hmmm, good question. What if you could select setting up a weakness and taking advantage of the weakness in the same backstab? Then, on a 10+ you kill them immediately; on a 7-9 you can set up the kill for the next backstab.
Or what if the setting up a weakness was a rider on every attack, like this:
When you hit a creature, you have it in your sights. When you backstab a creature in your sights and roll 7+, you kill it.
