Trollomancer

Trollomancer

Originally here, now modified after playtesting.

Threat Die roll a d4 for damage and Endurance after creation

Saves on a 16+

This Isn't Who You Really Are can wear any mundane light armor and use any mundane simple weapon without penalty in human form; trolls gain no benefit from armor and cannot hold weapons

Complicated Stuff gains a new level every 3,000 XP

Trollform (see below advancement chart and starting stuff)

Trollcrits +1 Damage while in troll form, critical hits cause horrendous damage, reducing the target to 1 TD Endurance

Troll Immune System when in Troll forms + 2xlevel in temporary Endurance

Two Forms at level up can roll two times, split between the the Trollomancer, Fighter and Rogue advancement tables

Locked you need to earn Professor Guro's trust before he'll make you into a Trollomancer.

at creation

roll a d4, d6 and d8 and see A. B. and C. below

A. one roll is your starting Endurance (pick from the three rolls and discard that die)

B. one roll determines your Human and Troll Mutations (or pick one and discard the highest remaining roll)

Your legs length, your toes and fingers curl into claws, your face cracks, widens, lengthens, your mouth fills with jagged teeth, your tongue lolls like a pink, wet lamprey and your hair turns to long, spiky quills, your skin pales and bright red streaks color your face, like a bizarre, monstrous kabuki actor.

You look like a monstrous human when in troll form. The transformation into a Troll doesn't use an action, but takes a round and will damage anything you're wearing that's strapped tightly to your body (wear baggy clothes or high tech body suit armor). Transforming back into a human takes a turn of uninterrupted concentration.

C. one roll determines what happens when you defEat a monster (or pick one and discard the lowest remaining roll)

1/session you can spend a turn devouring an enemy. You can only have three named monsters on your character sheet. When you level up, tell the GM the monster names and the GM will randomly award you a new mutation based on the characteristics of that monster. You can “stack” the deck by defEating multiple monsters of the same type. Once you've gained the new mutation, erase all the named monsters.
