Job 41:33 (GLOG race-as-class: Cocodril)

What even needs to be said? You are a pebbled worm, never to be smiled at. Any who know you fear you, and rightly so. You are a god of the river, an oasis king. The mighty cocodril has always been able to speak, but has never needed to, especially not to those chattering soft-skinned things that imagined themselves so important.

As time has passed, so too has your might. What was once an unstoppable terror of the water may now be slain with a common firearm. Your brethren hold harpoons in their skin, or grace the ceilings of collections.

Perhaps it is time to deign. Adapt to the world, man-eater, lest you become man-eaten.

𓆊 COCODRIL 𓆊

Or allagarta, gharial, or other similar beast.

Starting skills: 1. Moral Philosophy. 2. Riddles. 3. Talking to Birds.

Starting items: hell no

Gain +2 MOVE per template.
A Curse on Four Legs, Death Roll
B River Thresher, +1 to hit
C  +2 HP, +1 to hit
D Leviathan, +1 to hit

At template A, you are eight feet long and weigh 250 pounds. For each template you acquire past the first, you are four feet longer and twice as heavy, up to 20 feet and one ton of cold reptilian malice at template D.

Curse on Four Legs: At character creation, don't choose a race. You are a crocodilian of some sort, which entails many things. Your terrible snapping jaws are a heavy weapon which can be used while grappling, and your skin is as tough as medium armor. You can swim adeptly and hold your breath for an hour, or four if you sit still the whole time. Your stubby limbs are essentially useless for anything but moving you around. People will react to you the way most people would react if they saw a crocodile walking around: immediate terror, or cautious curiosity if there's someone pretending to be your owner. You can speak as most people do, although your voice wavers unpleasantly between hisses and bellows.

Death Roll: You have a new option on the grappling table, taking the same place as pinning: death roll. When you successfully death roll a target you're grappling with, they take damage equal to the difference between your MOVE rolls. If this damage is more than half their maximum HP, they must SAVE or have a limb of your choice torn off. This will cause most people to die immediately from shock or blood loss.

By Deus ex Parabola. Poorly edited by yours truly.

River Thresher: You may make an additional attack each round with your sweeping tail. This does 1d8 damage on a hit, and the target must make a MOVE check or be knocked prone. Your bite and tail-sweep attacks must be made against separate targets.

Leviathan: You are unstoppable, a monster worthy of being called giant. Your jaws are a natural massive weapon that can be used while grappling, your skin is as strong as heavy armor, and your tail does 1d10 damage. If you have not moved this round, you may sweep and bite the same target.

Also, you now have opposable thumbs.

LIGHTNING'S HAND (GLOG class: Unfettered Paladin)

Image
Special thanks to  Glass Candles  for his excellent item suggestions.  They think they can tell you what to do. They think they know better . They can all go to Hell. The world is your oyster, which you with sword will open. You can be as cruel or as merciful as you like in the pursuit of power; it's your decision. Everything is. The Red Heretics are those who have rejected warning. They have no single doctrine, as Red Heresy is burnt out wherever it is found. They are united by one insane tenet: that Chaos may be controlled by Man with no need for the g_ds. Such heresy has reemerged many times in history. By  The Nothic's Eye You may not be able to talk to the angels, but you are the one the priests warned you of. THE UNFETTERED PALADIN Starting items: A Red Mask, a light butcher's cleaver, a light scalpel, a clean white apron, and 2 pieces of Forensic Evidence from the table below. Skills: 1 . Butcher. 2. Barber-surgeon. 3 . Drug enthusiast. +1 INIT and +1 ...

Rising Above One's Station (Class: Exhumed)

FOR  QAL ASHEN (And for Halloween .) You were here first. Before Time, before Death, before the world was ordered and numbered and described, you were here. You're a dreadful thing, feared by spirits, banished by the Sun, at home only in the Underworld.

MORNING STARS (The Setting and the People in it)

Image
 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? The world as it is known, circa 1660. In purple, green, and blue are the regions of the Empire of the Sun and Moon. To the north, in red, are the lands occupied by the many city-states of the djinn, which sit in the shadow of the Great Wall of the Djinn which circles the world's equator. That's the giant black line at the top. Finally, highlighted in yellow is the Protectorate of Yonah, which once boldly repelled the Empire's questing ships. North of the wall lies mystery, and beyond the sea lies loss. The world is vast, wondrous, and fearful. In the beginning, there was nothing, and where there was nothing, there were fairies...
