Upon reflection, some of the problems I had with the fighter in my game arose from the fact that the DW fighter seems most like the D&D/Pathfinder fighter. Interactions with other players, even in the midst of battle, stayed more rooted in the fiction, but I kept falling into just trading blows with the fighter.

The DW druid, in contrast, and the Mage, are so different that it was easier to exploit all the goodness of the rules. I think I’ll go have a look at #fighterweek for ideas. If anyone has specific pointers, I’d love to hear them.

Paladin Week Starts Next Monday and you are all invited to create, participate and discuss all things Dungeon World…

July – THIEF WEEK! 

Here are some suggestions of things from the community:

Puzzles.

Magic devices.

Applications for the Heist move.

Organizations as monsters?

Deconstruction of the archetype.  Why “Thief” and not “Rogue” or “Specialist” or w/e

What happens to thieves who steal from gods? (Maybe deal with Promethean themes.)

New poisons could be a lot of fun

I like the idea of discussing which fictional advantages the thief should be able to know. Like most classes would  _have to look through a room in_ depth to discern realities for a trap door, while a thief would merely have to _glance around to trigger the same  move._

How the class could do roles of ninja, assassination, mob boss, or beguiling con man.

Alternate/expanded roles might also include highwayman, pirate, spy, or detective.

Another thought is a way to get leverage for parley at a risk to the thief. The Phisher gambit. 

Examples of Suspicion, Danger, and Cost for Tricks of the Trade.

Maybe some expanded thoughts or rules on loot (its value, where to fence it, etc)

_Alternatives to the poison  moves, because none of my thief players have ever used that._

_Examples of different Thieves Guilds and how to join, what they do._

Grifting for Fun and Profit

_I’d like to see a discussion of the Thief’s use of poisons._

Varieties of law enforcement (town guards, bounty hunters, mystical guardians). And different ways for characters to deal with them (bribery, corruption, truce). Good for both organized crime and individual Thieves!

#FighterWeek  *Fighting Styles!*

#FighterWeek  *Fighting Styles!*

#FighterWeek  *Fighting Styles!*

These moves are supposed to be an extra move for the Fighter. In a perfect world there would be lot’s of different fighting styles but i present you 3. Each one has a general fighting style moves and then extra ones to represent further training in the style. Right now there is one for 1 Katana Sword, Spear and Shield and one for a big big hammer. There is not really a reason to match them to specific weapons but it’s an easy way to differentiate them. 

As i said every Fighter would start with 1 fighting style and can choose the other Fighting Style moves later when he levels up. Getting new styles could be done by any character like one would get into a compendium class. The Fighter could easily have a Multiclass like move that gave him access to another fighting style. He is the fighter, he can figure this stuff out. 

I didn’t had as much time as i wanted to put into these moves so please be gentle on them, they might not be as good but show the direction the move would take. 

I hope you like this. 

White Swan Style (single Sword)

When you center yourself and deflect every blow coming at you, only attacking with counterstrikes, you may Hack&Slash using WIS instead of STR. 

Iaidō

When you have a moment to focus and then draw your sword in one swift motion to strike your enemy you may deal damage or roll+WIS 

On a 10+ choose 2, on a 7-9 choose 1 

– You take their weaponhand off 

– You deal your damage+1d6 

– You slice them before they can react, giving you time to retreat

– Your focus gives you a moment of perfect clarity. You can ask 1 question from the discern realities list 

Iaidō Focus

When you use Iaidō, choose 1 extra option from the list 

Perfect Defense

When you Hack&Slash an Enemy using the White Swan Style, take +2 armor against the next attack coming at you 

Boros Legion Style (Spear and Shield)

When you stand in Defense of one of your comrades, the first enemy getting closer then reach range with them takes a d6 of damage 

Scorpionsting Maneuver 

When you damage an enemy in melee, you can sacrifice 4 of your damage to knock them back one range category. 

The Turtle

When you are forming a shieldwall with your allies, roll+CON 

On a 10+ choose 3, on a 7-9 choose 2   

– You can still move

– You are protected against range attacks

– Everyone trying to brake your formation takes a d6 of damage 

– You can still attack from behind your shieldwall 

Inspired by the THUNDERING PACHYDERM by +Craig Hatler 

Mountain Giant Style(BigAss Hammer)

When you hit an enemy with a forcefull weapon and throw him of his feet you get to decide where exactly they land or whom they hit in the fall 

Whipping Truck

When you wield a two-handed weapon by bearing its heft with just one hand, ignore the two-handed tag.

Hammer Time!

When you charge into a group of enemies and bring your hammer down in a giant krakakoom roll+STR On a hit you deal 1d6 to each of them (roll once) but on a 10+ choose 1, on a 7-9 choose 2 

– You get attacked by two of them

– You get yourself into a Spot doing it

– You damage something you didn’t intent to hit 

Imposing Stature

When you parley with someone that saw you in a fight and you use the potential of violence against them as leverage, take +1 forward.

Some Monsters i made to reflect the Boros Legion from #magicthegathering  . The Boros is a giant and well trained army so i wanted to create some monsters that are fighty, well trained and supplement each other. Good luck to the adventurers trying to take those guys out:
