My Players recently got a noble Rat as a Hireling in the City. (a bit like Cats in Boots but as a big Rat)

And since Hirelings serve as replacement characters i made some Class options for this Race:

Noble Rat

Thief: every time you enter a new settlement with a Rat Population you automatically know where they hide their valuables.

Ranger: If you take the role of Quartermaster on a perilous Journey every Person involved looses 1 Ration less.

Paladin: You are immune to all sickness. You never get ill from what you eat.

Wizard: You gain the Level 1 Spell “Summon Human” (Conjuration) ongoing

You Summon a generic Human with clothing of your choice. He is mindless but you can give him orders or control him directly when you touch him. Once he receives Damage or is revealed to be fake he vanishes.

What do you guys think?

Hey Guys,

I just made Characters with some friends of mine for our new DW-Session. I only got two Players but they are really excited to play.

We Decided that both are elves and Siblings from an ancient Elven Race called the Lightelves which are the only real heroes in this world and are really really old (one Character is 800 Years the other 900 Years old) And are born through a ritual performed by other Lightelves from pure light for a specific purpose. One of them is a Fighter but want to Multiclass as Druid and Immolator later. His purpose is the Voice of the first Flame (an intelligent Relic which burns everyone but him who comes to close)

The other is a Bard whichs Purpose is to find old Songs and Storys and teach them to the Other Lightelves, she has a ancient Songbook as her instrument. She wants to multiclass as Thief and Wizard later.

They are living on a Forrest-plateau near an ancient Vulcan and find out that everywhere but in their home the World is pretty much frozen and Summer doesnt exist anymore.

So they are relatively inexperienced but potentially really powerful and i wanted to build some moves to reflect their heritage. Something they can use to “show off” maybe.

My first thought was something like an ability to call their intelligent horses. It would look something like this:

When you Sing the Song of the Winds under the Stars to call your Eldrani Horses Roll +CH

on a 10+ they arrive in an instant right where you need them.

on a 7-9 Choose one:

– It takes a while until they show up

– They need to be fed (loose two Rations)

– They provoke the local Spirits to come out

Its my first draft. What do you think? Would this be cool?

Do you need more Details? What would you make for Characters like this?

Just some custom moves that came to my mind when i saw Adam Koebel s Moves for using Scrolls and chargable Magic items.

When you drink an unidentified Potion roll +Con. If you hit the Potion has a positive Effect on you. On a 7-9 as hit but also choose one:

– The Potion has some unforeseen Side-Effect on you.

– You throw up afterwards. Take the sickened condition.

– Healing Potions have no effect on you until you take camp.

When you read out loud the Runes of Protection engraved in this Place Roll +Wis.

On a hit Choose 2, on a 7-9 Choose 1:

– You are protected from heat or cold while you camp

– the Ancient Guardians of the Place stay asleep

– Everyone standing watch gets +1 Forward for doing so

– You are hidden from your Enemy’s as long as you stay inside

What do you guys think?

Just want to share some of my own Races and what kind of moves they have.

constructive Feedback would be awesome.

Ice-Elves:

Wizard: You are connected to the Spirits of the Land. “Contact Spirits” is a Cantrip for you.

Cleric:  You can Turn the Beast of the Cold Death like they were Undead.

Ranger:   fresh snow doesnt hinder your Ability to track someone.

Bard:   Your Songs and Tales warm those who hear them. If they Rest near you they are safe from the Cold Death. 

(The Cold Death was the font of the Campaign. Its a Curse/Illness which turns you into a cold Monster)

Gnomes:

Bard: You have “Architecture and engineering” as an additional Field of Expertise in addition to whatever you choose.

Fighter: You know where to hit or pull. Brains over Brawn. You can Roll +Int instead of +Str to lift gate bend bars.

Wizard: You are a Master of Misdirection. Once per Battle you can Dodge a direct Attack with +Cha. Your Enemy did just hit a gnomish Illusion.

Thief: If you roll a 10+ on disarming a Trap you can take it with you and use it later or fill one use of your adventuring gear with it. GMs Choice.
