I started writing new Racial Moves for #ClassWarfare .
“Warforged”, Half-Orc and Merfolk to be exact.
Maaan that is a lot of work. I am nearly done with Rogues though,
Anyone got any ideas for:
Merfolk Acrobat
Half-Orc Firestarter
Warforged Mastermind
Merfolk Pretender
Warforged Swindler
Merfolk Thief
It’s more of a creative exercise really.
I just wrote 42 moves and a player will maybe use 1.
One! 1!
of them…
But if you share them, the usage could be much more widespread 🙂
I will share them when they are ready.
Awesome. Warforged sounds so intriguing! I’ll see if I can get any bright ideas regarding those mentioned above
thank you.
Have some teasers.
Half-Orc Breaker
When you simply smash the lock, you may use Tricks of the Trade with STR instead of DEX
Warforged Pretender
Artificial magical skin is grafted to your body, allowing you to pass as most humanoid races. Your behavior might still give you away.
Merfolk Siren
When you sing beautifully while sitting on a rock rock or from underwater, you may tread a 6- on Hypnotic Allure as a 7-9 instead.
Merfolk Acrobat… interesting choice. Seems like the Perfect Poise move isn’t so useful for someone who lives underwater. So how about…
Slippery as an Eel: You are never surrounded or hemmed in underwater; you can always dart to a better a position unless you are grabbed or restrained. If you are are grabbed or restrained underwater, you can Defy Danger with DEX to wriggle free.
Half-Orc Firestarter: When you’re just pissed, you can roll +STR to use pyrokinesis.
Warforged Mastermind: Add these to the list of questions you can ask when you’ve got a bad feeling about this.
– Who or what here is weakest or most vulnerable?
– Who or what here is most likely to cause trouble?
Merfolk Pretender: Choose a terrestrial race. You can change your form to appear as a member of that race (legs included). You still look like you, just you as a dirtwalker is all.
Warforged Swindler: You’ve got the ultimate poker face. You never need to defy danger to hide your motives or emotions. If another player asks if your character is lying or how you are feeling, you may answer (or not) as you choose.
Merfolk Thief: You can wriggle your whole body through any opening your your head can fit through; if underwater, you barely need to even slow down.
(Not sure about this one… it’s not super thiefy, but it sure seems like it would be useful for a thief.)
Merfolk firestarter: When you start a fire under water, treat any roll as 6-.
No. Merfolk Firestarters CAN control fire underwater. Everything else woudn’t be fun.
Done with Magican Specialties…
