The Saccharine Touch

Class: Berserker







Skills: fasting, stargazing, plying the worm-writhen blade

Gear: damascened sword, shield, purple-hemmed robes


A: The Saccharine Touch, Inner Torsion

B: Fateless, Heart-Prison

C: Die


The Saccharine Touch: Your soul coils upon a promise made; when your body dies in battle with sword in hand, you shall spring free in a shower of dusty plasma. [templates in berserker] in 2 odds that you reach the heavens, and fall back to earth 2d6 days later encased in a fresh-forged vessel.

Inner Torsion: You may make any roll with advantage, but suffer damage equal to the lower die if you choose to do so.

Fateless: Your next template must be template C of this class.

Heart-Prison: You are plasmolized, wound so tight that you hardly touch the walls of your self. Nothing pains you; your body is a blade of senseless metal. Nothing vexes you; your mind is but hilt and pommel. Nothing tires you; scabbards are for swords with a future. Where you are headed you'll find better.

Die: In the quiet hours your body at last sunders, untimely. The sword falls from your sea-still hands and your soul implodes.





Vessel: Star-thing



Vessels have 0-templates, after which conventional class templates can be gained in the usual order

𝚫: David's Sling

Baetyl: Your body is one tonne of arcing chalcedony poured into a marble's mould. Pick it up and you feel barely heavier than you appear, with all that implies — you can carry yourself for an hour at a time before you grow tired, and throw yourself (this grows tiresome in minutes) for 1d12 damage ignoring armour. When your grip slips your body crushes tiles, splinters wood, bores through the earth as it sinks to bedrock.

Avatar: You sense and are seen as what you once were, your actions perceived by whichever most explicable illusion. Figmentary wounds born of these sensoria can't kill but are vivid beyond description or reality. They burden the mind, and at 0 HP you grow numb and self-consumed and drop yourself for 1d6 days.

David's Sling: After basking in the sun for a week, or when struck by a fulminant sky, you may launch yourself an arbitrary distance. Roll 1d20. On a roll of 20 you land exactly where you wanted to, otherwise randomly within a radius equal to 1/10th the distance to the target.

Your Blood Inside My Heart

Image
    Blood is thicker than the deep waters,     More vibrant than the shining stone Old blood bled like wine from His throat, the King of Kings, and a friend sucked at the clotted blood till his mouth was bloodied, sucked at the poisoned blood till the earth was puddled.  One way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Class: Paladin Skills: archery, equestrianism, dririmancy Gear: a bow, 20 arrows, a noble companion (1HD), their blood, a small dagger with a rayskin hilt ( light ) A: Your Blood Inside My Heart , Entrainment B: The Shining Stone C: Prophecy D: The Deep Waters Your Blood Inside My Heart : When your blood enters another's veins, it takes root; people who hold your blood must do anything that you ask of them. At any time, for any reason, they may Disown your blood by cutting themselves and calling it out. Should they do this, they find themselves unable to sleep until they spill your blood from all who contain it. Entrainment : Should another's bloo...

The Great Tool of Creation is the Sword - Spear - Axe - Bow - Knife

  sword - spear - axe - bow - knife that covers most stuff pretty plainly Attacks: Roll 1d20 against the DC to hit. This is 10 at a distance but 5 up close. Roll 1d6 for damage, and interpret as fit — preferably with significant consequences. Whatever the implementation, on a roll of 1 the weapon is lost: dropped, broken, embedded Defence: Shields increase your DC by 5. Armour also increases your DC by 5, and is only a magnitude more expensive. Full Armour increases your DC by 10.  Shields and armour aren't unbearable, but tiring. In intervals of intensive action, accrue one fatigue per 5 added DC; each point takes up one inventory slot. Measure: Weapons have measures in which their wielders can make attacks. When two weapons of unequal length are opposed, the shorter one usually begins the combat out of measure. The longer one usually has initiative. To attack from out of measure, the fighter with the shorter weapon makes a DC 10 check to close distance. If successful, the ta...
