[Dungeon Fantasy] Fool Template
(This is something I came up with to make the Innkeeper template into something a bit more universal. Hope it's useful. It uses the Impulse Points/Villainous Points notion from Pyramid #3/100 under the names 'Destiny' and 'Fate'.)
Fool - 250 points Not fool as in court jester, but fool as in "The gods look after fools, small children, and ships named Enterprise." What in the world is someone like you, a reasonably normal person, doing in a place like this? Answer -- surviving, somehow. Possibly that means that you're not actually as normal as you used to think you were, back in the good old days when you had an ordinary job. You certainly seem to have more than your fair share of luck, and your friends -- if you think of the rest of the party in those terms, or they of you -- may keep you around as a lucky talisman of sorts. After all, if a hopeless case like you can survive all this, surely the trained professionals will! Attributes: ST 12 [20]; DX 13 [60]; IQ 13 [60]; HT 12 [20] Secondary Characteristics: Damage 1d-1/1d+2; BL 29 lbs.; HP 12 [0]; Will 13 [0]; Per 13 [0]; FP 12 [0]; Basic Speed 6.00 [-5]; Basic Move 6 [0]. Advantages: Destiny 3 [15]; and Wild Talent 1 [20]. • A racial lens worth 20 points. • A further 30 points chosen from among ST +1 to +3 [10/level], DX +1 [20], IQ +1 [20 ], HT +1 to +3 [10/level], HP +1 to +3 [2/level], Will +1 to +5 [5/level], Per +1 to +5 [5/level], Acute Senses (any) [2/level], Charisma [5/level], Combat Reflexes [15], Destiny 4-6 [5/level], Discriminatory Smell [15], Eidetic Memory [5] or Photographic Memory [10], Enhanced Destiny Refresh 2-3 [10/level], Fearlessness [2/level] or Unfazeable [15], Gizmos 1-3 [5/level], Honest Face [1], Intuition [15], Language Talent [10], Languages (any) [2-6/language], Lifting ST 1-3 [3/level], Penetrating Voice [1], Rapier Wit [5], Signature Gear [Varies], Smooth Operator 1-2 [15/level], Wealth (Comfortable or Wealthy) [10 or 20], more Wild Talent [20/level].

Primary Skills: Brawling, Fast-Draw (Knife), and Knife, all (E) DX+1 [2]-14; Wrestling (A) DX+1 [4]-14. • One of Axe/Mace, Broadsword, Shortsword, Staff, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace, all (A) DX+1 [4]-14. • One of Crossbow or Thrown Weapon (any), all (E) DX+1 [2]-14; Bow, Lasso, or Throwing, all (A) DX [2]-13; or Sling (H) DX-1 [2]-12. • A further 8 points distributed among the combat skills above. • Any two of Leatherworking or Sewing (E) DX+1 [2]-14; Professional Skill (any) (A) DX [2]-13; Carpentry, Gardening, Housekeeping, or Masonry, all (E) IQ+1 [2]-14; Animal Handling, Boating (Unpowered) or (Sailboat), Cartography, Cooking, Farming, Merchant, Poetry, Professional Skill (any), Prospecting, or Smith (any), all (A) IQ [2]-13; or Artist (any) or Jeweler (H) IQ-1 [2]-12.

B120. † Miserliness is incompatible with Compulsive Gambling and Spending. ‡ See GURPS Horror, pp. 24-25 Last edited by Davies; 02-27-2017 at 04:24 PM. |

Re: [Dungeon Fantasy] Fool Template
This is very similar in concept to the seventh son.

Re: [Dungeon Fantasy] Fool Template
Nonetheless, it could provide some good inspiration for your own idea!

Re: [Dungeon Fantasy] Fool Template
The way this is written you must take a 20 point race, is that intentional?

Examples: Dwarf -- 20 points Attribute Modifiers: HT +1 [10] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: FP +2 [6]; Basic Move -1 [-5] Advantages: Alcohol Tolerance [1]; Damage Resistance 1 (Tough Skin, -40%) [3]; Language (Dwarven; Native) [6]; Lifting ST +1 [3]; Magic Resistance 1 (Improved, +150%) [5]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Resistant to Poison (+3) [5]. Perks: Dwarven Gear [1]. Disadvantages: Code of Honor (Dwarven)* [-15] or Greed (12) [-15]; Stubbornness [-5]. Features: Armor isn’t interchangeable with human armor. Can purchase up to 4 levels of Pickaxe Penchant and up to 5 additional levels of Magic Resistance (Improved). * This amounts to a Sense of Duty to other dwarves who also follow the Code (and a presumption that a dwarf follows the Code until demonstrated otherwise), combined with Intolerance for the traditional enemies of dwarves (dragons, dragon-kin, goblins, and ogres), a trivial Vow to marry a dwarf selected by one's elders, and a Dislike for elves and dwarves who demonstrate Greed. Elf -- 20 points Attribute Modifiers: ST -1 [-10]; IQ +1 [20] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: Will -1 [-5] Advantages: Appearance (Attractive) [4]; Immunity to Disease [10]; Language (Elven; Native) [6]. Perks: Elven Gear [1] Disadvantages: Indecisive (12) [-10] or Laziness (12) [-10]. Skills: Hidden Lore (Elven Secrets) (A) IQ+1 [4]. Features: Can purchase up to 4 levels of Forest Guardian. Ogre -- 20 points Attribute Modifiers: ST +1 (Size, -10%) [9]; HT +1 [10] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM+1; HP +1 [2]; FP +1 [3]. Advantages: Language (Ogre; Native/Broken) [4]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Resistant to Metabolic Hazards (+3) [10]. Disadvantages: Appearance (Unattractive) [-4]; Callous [-5] or Mild Shyness [-5]; Ham-Fisted [-5]; Social Stigma (Savage) [-10]. Quirk: Reincarnates [-1]*. Features: Can purchase up to 4 levels of Mr. Smash. * This has the same effect as "Damned" minus the horrified glances from fortune tellers. All ogre souls are immediately claimed by the ogre gods and reincarnated as new ogres, preventing any resurrection. Last edited by Davies; 02-27-2017 at 02:28 PM. |

Re: [Dungeon Fantasy] Fool Template
No luck for the fool ? Destiny is there but shouldn't luck be at least an option?
