Hello! I’m going to try my hand at building a Class, the Awakened Ape,
Inspired by Rise/Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
I want there to be three Races to choose from, Chimpanzee, Gorilla, and Orangutan, but I’m not sure what the racial Moves should be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well I would build the class first before you work on the racial moves. But to answer the question I would say for us on strength/ferocity for gorillas, intelligence for the orangutans, and speed or special tools for the chimpanzee.
Yes, you’re probably right on build the class first. Thank you for the suggestions though.
/sub. And I’ll try to chip in later.
Hmm. Just some ideas.
All Awakened Apes have a form of sign language. Create the Bond: “I have taught _____ how to sign”, they can understand and respond to you silently in a manner few others understand.
Chimpanzee: You can scale walls and climb obstacles with ease. Your feet are as capable of grasping as hands.
or
You can make a simple tool or weapon from things you find in the wild. Short and Sharp: hand, precise, 0 weight. Sturdy and Blunt: close, forceful, 2 weight. Long and Thin: reach, precise, 1 weight.
Gorilla: You ignore the two-handed tag on weapons. For you large weapons and hurled objects are always forceful, +1 damage.
or
When you Make Camp and have the materials to make a leaf nest, heal 1d4 and gain protection from the elementals.
Orangutan: …
I don’t know anything about orangutans really, beyond the obvious.
/sub Just asked this in another community too haha
Tony Ferron I really like those ideas, thank you very much!
Damn Dirty Apes!
Jeremiah Allen No problem. Tell us what you end up with!
Tony Ferron , I shall, although other stuff keeps getting in the way, so it’s going slowly.
