I was wondering if there is any interest in a RTD which will use varying dices and exploding die with strange classes which i've red around the web. I haven't worked out the exacts yet. I also wrote a bit about the Muscle saint, input is highly appriciated.
Description:The prophets of godly muscle gains and bodily aesthetics. Their dedication to improving oneself's body has given them the favor of the god of muscle. They are seen as having achieved the utmost perfect body a human could desire, and guide those who seek to attain one such body as well. They are highly skilled in weaponless combat such as grappling, wrestling and pugilism. Muscle saints are also able to invoke body enhancing magic by flexing to the muscle god to uplift their strenght, toughness or endurance to the next level.
Skill examples:Show-off Flex: The muscle saint flexes his muscles in order to impress the nearby masses. Friendly aligned people in the vicinity are forced to throw 1d20 against their own fortitude to resist the temptation of admiring. When unsuccessful, the nearby people will admire you and be easily persuaded. Females and gays, roll their 1d20 with a -2 modifier.
Unholy gains: The muscle saint invokes the favor of his to grant him strenght gains beyond a humans imagination. Roll 1d20 against your favor to see if the muscle god hears your prayer, exploding die rules apply. If succesful, for 3 combat turns, your strenght doubles. If die exploded, strenght can triple,quadruple,quintuple,etc. After 5 combat turns or immediately upon combat end, you are struck with fatigue and bottomless hunger debuffs.
Piledriver grab: The muscle saint attempts to lock you in the piledriver manoeuvre. Roll off 1d20 against the difference in strenght between the Muscle Saint and the target. When the target's strenght is 5 or less the roll is automatically passed. A successful attempt gives the target severe head trauma. The target is then forced to roll (1d20 - (STR diff/2) against his constitution or become unconscious. If passed, any subsequent rolls are made with a -3 modifier due to severe head trauma.
Earth Shattering Piledriver grab: Same rules apply as with piledriver grab, however unholy gains buff needs to be applied beforehand. Your piledriver is so strong that the impact shatters the ground within 1d6+ PlayerSTR/3 meters, the the target has to roll 1d20 against his Toughness to resist his skull exploding from the impact then standard piledriver rolls apply but the modifier becomes -4 instead of -3. Nearby enemies and allies are shaken upon impact, giving them a -1 modifier to movement based roles. The terrain around the impact zone becomes difficult terrain, if performed on difficult terrain it becomes dangerous terrain.
Summoning magic but with guns, missiles, tanks and such.
Patisserie girlMagic involving all kinds of pastry, the user has to transform into his patisserie gear which is similiar to the following image.
Same gear applies for male characters.
Weed WizardA highly skilled magician which uses fire, smoke, nature and illusion magic against his foes. His addiction to weed leaves him stoned 24/7.
HoboHighly resilient survivalist class, can live in nearly any enviroment because of his cunning and resourceful (Dubbed disgusting by most) abilities.
Drunken MasterHighly skilled fighter trained in different martial arts, you'd be undefeatable if not for your addiction to booze. You are hungover all the time, and must keep drinking to tap into your drunk powers. You also drink because you fear the the combined hangover of all that booze will most likely kill you.
Cat BurglarYou are a thief, true to his name. For some reason, you have the power over cats and catlike abilities. Crazy cat person... anyone?
ChefHighly skilled in the use of bladed weaponry, but prefers to use fine knifes due to the job. Master chef, besides cooking up edible food of the highest quality, you are able to make chili sauce capable of burning trough metal armor, ice cream granting you immunity to all but the most extreme freezing conditions and many more! There is probably some magic involved....
BucketnerA person that has mastered the art of combat with a bucket.
VentriloquistA puppeteer unable to speak himself. You have the power to turn most objects that you hold into puppets capable of speaking for you.
Bubble KnightNot sure about this one, might scrape it.
MetalheadThe gods have granted you the power of electricity, metal and rock and roll! You carry around an electric guitar from another dimension fueled by your fiery desire to play it.
Yandere ClericYou are a cleric with an unhealthy obsession of one person, an obsession so unhealthy that you gain a variety of ways to dispose of the competition. These methods are stealthy, but in every way lethal.
Mad SciencetistNot much different from a regular one expect that you get a loyal to the death goon follower and that contraptions which by all means shouldn't work, somehow do and that these contraptions don't directly hurt you. Car battery, metal rod and a firing mechanism? Electric gun? Sure why not, just don't let anyone else hold it or it might end up killing him.
Die HardYou have no powers (You think you don't have any... maybe you do!) but one, you are perfectly normal in every other way expect that you cannot permanently die. Anything that would normally kill you still hurts like hell, but upon dead you wake up a moment later perfectly intact at the nearest place that can sustain life even if chopped up, disintegrated or shot into outerspace.
more to come.
