Help me out here, as a leveled Human Tourist, I can... do what, now? Do I get a stat boost plus a perk or something?
As written in the rules, you get to choose one of these:
Code: [Select]
1. Add 1d6 points to a character’s Health rating.
2. Replenish two Special Abilities of the type allowed for their character.
3. Lower the character’s Attack rating by one (to a minimum rating of 3).
4. Raise the character’s Defense rating by one (to a maximum rating of 11).
5. Raise a character’s Speed, Power, or Intellect rating by one point.

Or you can instead get whatever's inside this box...


After seeing how the dodge worked...
Magic WMD
This is clever enough that even though Dodge is supposed to take up your whole turn, I'll allow this to work the way you're expecting it to.

Fred opens the Mystery Box and shudders as he feels his profession twist and change as he is promoted, like a chess piece, to a Human Owl Knight.

Owl Knights have randomly generated attack and defense values. Both are 1d6+3.

Fred's new Attack: 4
Fred's new Defense: 6

Owl Knights also get 3 uses of a special ability that I'm going to roll off of a list of special abilities that I just made up.

3 Disarm - Fred can snatch the weapon from an opponent's hand without having to roll for it.

Fred considers this fantastic new power...

Offer my roast tiger in an effort to gain the troll's loyalty. When this inevitably fails, carefully defend, daggers drawn...

((This game is great fun. Are Tourists extinct? It might be neat to have class progression, if it doesn't get too bulky.))

Name: Vivienne
You are Vivienne, the Troll who is currently eating a dead tiger and staring at Fred. He's offering you the roast tiger. It's up to you how you respond to this interloper with his gift of a gigantic pile of roasted meat.

This one is a tiny troll, Vivienne thinks. Tiny but not bad looking. Offerings of roast tiger just happen to be the appropriate mating ritual for this particular brand of troll.

Vivienne takes the roast tiger and munches whilst shooting seductive looks at Fred. These looks just happen to involve terrifying roaring.

My god, this is shaping up to be an amazing train wreck.

((This game is great fun. Are Tourists extinct? It might be neat to have class progression, if it doesn't get too bulky.))
Tourists may or may not be extinct. Either they are, or I'll make it so when someone rolls a Tourist they have a 50% chance of ending up as an Owl Knight instead. That's the plan with Hairfoots, too; they're now half as likely to occur, with Ducks taking the place of the other half.

I'm glad you're having fun! In the future, I'll probably run another version of this game with combat running on a system called Swords and Six-siders. It'll have the benefit of making things a little faster paced and of allowing people to start the game with all kinds of weapons and armor. My biggest complaint with this so far is that nobody's been pulped with a morningstar.

By the way, if anybody has any feedback on how they think this is going so far, don't hesitate to let me know. If there's something you particularly enjoy or something you think isn't fun at all, tell me. Observer opinions count too, obviously!

Fred twirls his daggers and shouts back with dominance, flaring his cloak extravagantly!

Vivienne is enthralled by the roars. She stomps her way up to Fred and roars at his face. one or two small morsels of tiger meat dislodge from her teeth on her rancid breath.

Fred roars with murderous might, then gently places the tiger jerky in the ferocious troll's mouth, while eating the morsels off of his face.

Vivienne grins and picks up the puny troll. The stomps over to the corner and flomps down, squeezing the little troll in a tight hug. Now it is HER little troll.

Waiting on Sir Loot. Theta can also jump in pretty much when ready.
