Is This Anything?

A roaming philanderer who names all his bastards the same name. It's not of sentiment or of tradition; it's so he doesn't have to remember all their names. But if they ever do meet, he'll know exactly what to call them.

Is This Anything?

The Felt Digit of Tactile Telekinesis is a large, overly stuffed, pointing hand made of felt, sized to fit over a grown adult's fist. It is sewn from cheap red and yellow felt, with uneven seams and shifted stuffing. The item is in the shape of a hand curled up with an extended index finger.

To use the item, the user must wear the item on their own hand, then press the tip of the felt finger against any object, and concentrate. Telekinesis occurs immediately, but it's not the object that moves, it is the wearer.

By maintaining contact between the felt digit and the object, the wearer can move themselves in any direction, at any speed the telekinesis would otherwise permit, for as long as the tip remains pressed against the surface. Release contact, and the effect ends.

Wondrous Item, uncommon. Requires attunement by a creature with at least one hand.
The wearer can move at a speed of up to 30 feet per round in any direction while maintaining contact. The felt digit has 4 hit points and no AC to speak of.

Halbling Schurke - der erste Charakterbogen als Beta. Alle Werte sind berechnet und eingetragen. Die Spielenden werden aufgefordert dem Charakter Leben einzuhauchen. Ich finde das einen guten Mittelweg zwischen "komplett fertiger, aber unflexibler Bogen" und "leerer Bogen".

Der Zwerg Kämpfer braucht noch etwas Feinschliff. Es folgen noch Ork Magier, Elf Waldläufer, Elf Kleriker und Mensch Hexenmeister.

@deinol Most of the "heartbreaker" games were massively more successful than the Forge games.

Palladium, Arduin, WHFRP are still in print & cool after almost 50 years.

The one I almost agreed with them on was Imagine RPG, what a mess! But it's also still in print, has supplements & fans.

Dangerous Journeys got TSR'd which is both sad & karmic justice, but it still had more books & income (but not profit after lawsuit).

Ich baue gerade an den Charakterbögen. Der Kämpfer ist inhaltlich fertig, da fehlt noch etwas Feinschliff in der Erklärung.

Aktuell ist der Schurke dran, der hat aber nicht nur "geübt" (proficient) sondern auch "expertise" (expertise). Da gibt es den doppelten Übungsbonus (proficiency bonus). Ich habe mich umgeschaut und das wird entweder mit dem Buchstaben "E" gekennzeichnet oder mit einer Kombination aus Kreis und Stern.

Was meint ihr? Andere Ideen? Ich freue mich über Euer Feedback!

@deinol As I understand the Forge people, they meant it as a slander against games that were too complex to learn in one session or required "math" (anything more than 1-digit addition), and wouldn't make a lot of money or displace D&D.

But AD&D made a stupendous amount of money, funnelled all of it to Gary instead of Dave until the lawsuit, displaced Basic D&D by about 25-50% until they pretty much killed Basic for AD&D 2E. Remained too hard for Forgeites to learn.

Meet Dirty Daerjl.

He was good at his job. Really good. Medical examiner, respected by his peers, celebrated in his field. And every paycheck, every bonus, every coin he didn't immediately need -- straight to the table.

Cards, dice, lizard races. Gambit of Ord was his game of choice, but Daerjl wasn't picky. If there was a bet to be made, he was there to make it. And one night, he was so sure he had a sure thing that he bet everything he had. He didn't have a sure thing.

He ran before they could stop him. Took a roundabout path to an inn, lay low, and told himself it would blow over. He went home the next morning to smashed windows, a kicked-in door, and most of his belongings in pieces on the floor. On top of the debris: a note.

"We have informed your former employer that you work for us now."

And just like that, his credentials as a funeral director, coroner, and medical examiner became someone else's tools. For years, he planned the disappearances. Covered up the murders. Did the dirty work and asked, regularly, when his debt would be paid off. The answer was always nothing.

One day he just didn't go in. Left town. Didn't look back.

He hasn't paid off the debt. He knows they haven't forgotten. But out here, wand in one hand and firearm in the other, he is at least on his own terms.

---

Dirty Daerjl is a Rock Gnome Artificer, level 10. At 2'10 and 40 pounds, he is at least 250 years old, with dark tan skin, a large bulbous nose, and dark grey hair cut flat on top. He bridges magic and technology with the precision of someone who spent a career in the details. He is a hard worker, a dedicated craftsman, and genuinely cannot walk past a card table without slowing down.

Encounter with the Demon Lord is now available in colour! I had a lot of fun taking the digital ink version I created a little while back and turning it into a distressed vintage poster sort of thing.
