[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 9303585, member: 23"] In Troika!, there are no "classes", only backgrounds. They all use the same rules for spells, but the background provides the "story" behind their skills and spells. I'll post two to illustrate. [b]53 Sorcerer of the College of Friends[/b] As an integral part of your tutelage in the sub-dimensional academy of the Cordial Wizard God you spent your childhood learning about the fate of pixies, the colour of magic, ritual grammar, and endless other theoretical topics. Now you’re out in the world, discovering that your education hardly accounted for any of the things that you’ve seen. Possessions • Pointed Wizard Hat you received at graduation. • Pocket Full of Wizard Biscuits (2d6, each counts as a Provision). • Wand used to help focus new apprentices, now kept for sentimental reasons. Advanced Skills 4 Secret Signs – Witching Words 2 Run 1 Climb 1 Sleight of Hand 1 Swim 1 Sneak 1 Second Sight 1 Spell – Jolt 1 Spell – Amity 1 Spell – Mirror Selves 1 Spell – Protection from Rain 1 Spell – Helping Hands 1 Spell – Purple Lens 1 Spell – Random [b]12 Befouler of Ponds[/b] You’re a wise man, a high priest, a pond-pisser, a typical but committed adherent of P!P!Ssshrp. The bloated Toad God has no church other than the periphery of ponds where the foulness catches in the reeds and no congregation other than the gnats and dragonflies. You minister to them all the same. Possessions • Sackcloth Robes, caked in stinking mud and undergrowth. +1 to Sneak rolls in marshy terrain while wearing them, -1 everywhere else ‘cos it stinks! • A Large, Worn Wooden Ladle (Damage as Mace). Advanced Skills 3 Spell –Drown 3 Swim 2 Spell – Tongue Twister 2 Spell –Undo 1 Spell – Web 1 Sneak 1 Second Sight Special You never contract disease as a result of drinking stagnant liquids [/QUOTE]
