Ah, Reland Island. Home to squabbling warlords and dangerous supernaturals. You are a young person, ready to make your mark on the world. But your goals are different. You don't want to become a legend by being the greatest hero there ever was. You don't want to catch every supernatural in existence. You want to become a villain. The crude would call it a selfish criminal, but you have much more capability than wandering bandits, don't you? Well, maybe not at this point, but you're getting there. But first, I need some information about you.
Name:
Gender:
Class:
Gun maker- You are the greatest gunsmith to ever grace the land! Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you're pretty smart. With the right materials, you are definitely able to make guns. You could even innovate, with your intelligence! Starting skill: Gunsmith, firearm usage. Unique class ability: Can make new types of guns, provided you have the materials.
Dark magician: You are an amazing and genius scholar who has delved into the dark arts! Being the brilliant mage you are, you of course learned something different. It's what sets you above the rest! Except, y'know, the other dark mages that learned it. But you will prevail! Starting skill: Basic fire magic, basic dark arts. Unique class ability: Has a chance to see the near future, and can act upon it as such.
Black Devil Martial Artist: Highly considered to be one of the deadliest martial arts, only one student is trained at a time. This is due to the fact that the creator is a dream demon that guides those who have great impurity in their hearts. You were lucky enough to be chosen! He even gave you a complimentary book! Starting skill: Black Devil Martial Arts, unarmed. Unique class ability: Has a dream demon that helps you when you are knocked out or sleeping. Has a book of techniques to train with.
Monsters: Non-sapient creatures that lack magic, but are too different from other creatures to be considered them. They are all aggressive, as well as extremely territorial towards even other monsters.
You know of the following monsters, yet there are bound to be more:
Cyclops, minotaurs, griffins, unicorns, pegasi, krakens, hydras, cerberi, werebeasts (at night), chimeras.
Supernaturals: Sapient or formerly sapient creatures that exist due to magic. They are not all aggressive, but all of them intentionally act against humans in some way.
You know of the following supernaturals, yet there are bound to be more:
Vampires, fairies, leprechauns, undead, dragons, phoenixes, liches, demons.
Religion: Reland Island has many gods, with the majority of people being agnostic. There are no true atheists, as gods actively contribute to the world. They occasionally create physical avatars and come down, as well as create demigods and miracles. Gods are highly intelligent and powerful, with even the weakest having been around for centuries. Gods, however, can be challenged. If a sufficiently powerful human challenges a god, they can become a god, even though extremely weak at first. The challenge can never be fighting the god, as they are unable to be murdered by a mortal. Only five people have ever achieved this, and it's doubtful you ever will. The gods are then turned to mortal, forced to walk the planet as those they ruled over.
Lore of the island: Reland Island, also known as the dead island, has a heavy history of war. It was first found by a man known as Herschel, who declared it his. It had a relatively small population, with a rather weak military. Nobody cared about him, as such. That was until, it was found that a supply of many minerals, gems, and ores were found. The small island became rich quickly. Herschel's former home country, also known as Bratyae, found this as a threat. It was unlikely for the small country to win, but they defended themselves due to a new discovery: Gunpowder. It wasn't limited to the magic capability of a soldier, and was able to be used to fuel new weapons, firearms. With this advantage, they were able to push the Bratyae soldiers back and defend their home. Residents of the island, currently named after king Herschel, were paid large amounts of money to sell and bring the secrets of black powder. As such, the information was released upon the world. This gave Bratyae the chance to defeat the island. They easily defeated them this time. To insult the defeated, all residents were enslaved and forced to erect statues of the new Bratyae prince, Reland. The current king named it after his son, in order to honor his birth. The kingdom seemed unstoppable, but soon a new empire arose from the south of Bratyae. The Denlas Empire didn't use firearms, and lacked calvary as a whole. Their secret was martial arts. They had learned this secret from ancient vampires, who were then killed. While not directly stronger than firearms, any significantly powerful human could become deadlier and more reliable than any firearm. Soon, the Bratyae kingdom was weakened by them, and withdrew the majority of their forces from Reland Island to fight them off. The large island, now with a much larger population, was granted freedom. It has since turned into small micro-kingdoms and governments, easily going to war. A perfect place for an aspiring villain.
Firearms: Firearms have quickly become the most common weapon in the world. The majority of people will own at least a basic firearm. Even then, there are many drawbacks. They take a long time to reload, and can only fire off one shot at a time. Pistols, muskets, basic rifles, and cannons are the firearms used. Even then, new ones are often being researched. It wouldn't be surprising to see a few people with homemade weapons.
Magic: The oldest weapon, dating back to the days before mortals. It is responsible for all supernaturals. Man first learned to harness the power in the early time of it's existence. Even then, most people won't have the genetic and spiritual potential to harness magic. It is a dangerous technique, and some people become corrupted with it. They learn dark magics, and occasionally become a type of supernatural called liches, able to live forever. Magic does come with drawbacks, however. As their bodies are naturally capable of magic, supernaturals are drawn to hunt and kill these creatures, feeling threatened at their goal to work against the mortals.
Martial arts: Both the newest and second oldest weapon. Created by ancient civilizations forgotten by mortals. Any human can learn it, and sufficiently powerful individuals can become more dangerous than firearms and magic. Still, it's harder because it requires extreme dedication to learn martial arts. It takes even longer to create and master a new martial art.

This series of tables may be used in any Role Playing Game (RPG) based on the use of one twenty sided die (1d20). Hope this is a useful tool to Gamers and Game Masters (GM) everywhere. Please note these tables are based on Human anatomy; please adjust accordingly to creatures in your campaign. Wound Types are defined at the end of Tables. You may use these tables instead of applying damage to a character.
