When you strike a target they are knocked back a number of spaces equal to the damage dealt, and if they collide with a target they either deal 1d6 damage or they may be tagged as a prop for free.

Below I've got his gifts in notation form (for sure not 100% balanced with wording mistakes and rules oversights etc). The boss has a mechanic where he secretly sends the effects of a bomb to a player, forcing them to act a certain way. I will keep some of these effects private for now for dramatic effect!

She has 99 HP, 4 attributes and heals all wounds whenever she's wounded completely, advancing to the next phase. She has a few moves that are always available, but on phase 3 will focus on her new abilities which she is NOT used to.
In phase 1 she is meant to be played very tactically, in phase 2 brutally and in phase 3 recklessly. While she is an incredibly strong fighter, her skill with her Reflection is highly limited, supplemen...

The final boss assets for the Thousand Lives Arisen, City of the Dead's Ringwall. These skeletons are actually raised, fully sentient individuals that follow Ringwall willingly. They are not likely to speak in-game but they have the voices of surfer bros.
Skeletons do not exist in this world, and every single skeleton can be personally attributed to Ringwall.

A ship's captain from the Sulfuric Lamina who has come to the land of Vinyat carrying strange weapons of the new age. He reeks of gunpowder and brine. The world below suffered the most during the demon war, and it is the commonly held belief that those who are not personally gifted with magic or chosen by the gods died along with the last age.
As such, the Pioneer's talent for Sacred Uraden, the most unusual school of magic is an exceptional rarity from that land of the profane.
2023-12-05 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWeapon
A dagger from a traveler from the Sulfric Lamina. Forged in the land of Vinyat as a present for their family, the kingdom fell to ruin before it could ever be returned. Heretical magics still run through the dagger, its use as a tool in some profane necromantic ritual almost certain.
Weapon Specialization: +2 Roll to Do, can be used in conjunction with any weapon that can be wielded in one hand.

The ichor of the seventh moon flows through your veins. Your body has changed, becoming more draconic. A kindness, they called it. Apparently others have it far worse. As your body warped as the pale blood of the moon intermingled with your own, it became hard to imagine a worse fate.

An individual from the deep sea that worships the crystalline giant that slumbers there. He has been warped by the deep waters to the point that he can no longer walk on the surface without his rather unique breathing tank. He seeks, in all things, to emulate the miracles he has witnessed in the depths.

One of the participants in the Defiance of Liars, a representative of the distant moon. Sent to die in the demon war, she managed to penetrate into the heart of hell and crawl her way back. She lost her chance for a noble death, and now comes to Vinyat bereft of purpose yet still burdened by hunger.

A wanderer from the upper plate, the Solar Knight is capable of bending sacred fire magics to her will. Alteration of flame is considered the highest of heretical acts, and as such, one can only manipulate the flame contained within the self or that is spun into sparks on sunrays.

Most importantly, her ears wiggle when happy.
