The town of Woodbury has never been the topic of conversation for any who live outside its forested borders. It holds no tourist attractions, no monuments, no interesting landmarks. Its tiny population has continued to shrink as the majority of each generation leave for bigger and better things in bigger and better towns. The ones who remain, however, are a generally hardy, reliable group who value work ethic and honesty. They are so few and close knit that all emergency services and local government offices reside in the same building. It is common knowledge that nothing exciting has happened in Woodbury since its foundation...but a storm is coming that will test the true mettle and character of its inhabitants.
You are either a member of an emergency service, a local government employee, or a visitor to the town hall (be it a complaint or something else...you decide!) when the storm hits. You must hide in the basement shelter to wait it out with everyone else in the building, but when you exit, the world is not the same...

I'm drawing on a few previous rp ideas I've had as well as Silent Hill and Dungeons & Dragons to make this horror rp, so I hope it goes over well with you guys! We will be using adapted DnD character classes, alignments, and skills to build your characters, and I'd like to use a rolling system for certain events and actions (I seem to remember a function on this site for dice rolling but I forget how it works so if any of you recall, I'd much appreciate it).
NOT EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY LIKE DUNGEONS & DRAGONS/NEVERWINTER NIGHTS. I'm using them as a guide to help me build an interesting and challenging roleplay.
Classes, Alignments, Abilities, and Skills referenced/copied from the first Neverwinter Nights PC game (2003)
Barbarian – Fire department, redneck, survivalist, etc. - Barbarians are brave, even reckless warriors, and their great strength and heartiness makes them well suited for adventure. Barbarians scornfully reject the fighter traditions of arms training and discipline, instead tapping into a powerful rage that makes them stronger, tougher, and better able to withstand attacks. They only have the energy for a few such displays per day, but it is usually sufficient. Constant exposure to danger also gives barbarians a sort of “sixth sense”, a preternatural ability to sense danger and dodge attacks, and their running stamina is legendary. Alignment restrictions: any nonlawful (you cannot be lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a barbarian). Hit Die: d12
Bard – Musician, journalist/reporter, historian, etc. - Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. His magic emphasizes charms and illusions, and the bard can also play an inspiring song that strengthens him and his allies. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. Alignment restrictions: any non lawful (you cannot be lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a bard). CHARISMA MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 3rd level spell requires 13 charisma). Hit die: d6
Cleric – Medic, clergy, psychic, etc. - Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric help those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. WISDOM MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 2nd level spell requires 12 wisdom). Hit die: d8
Druid – Hippie, animal handler, gardener, etc. - Druids are divine spellcasters who receive their spells from nature, not the gods. They strive to live in harmony with the natural world, and hate anything that is not part of the natural cycle, especially aberrations and undead creatures. As they gain experience, they learn to take the shapes of animals and eventually more powerful creatures. Alignment restrictions: Can only be neutral good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil. WISDOM MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 4th level spell requires 14 wisdom). Hit die: d8
Fighter – Police, martial artist, athlete, etc. - Fighters can be many things, from soldiers to criminal enforcers. Some see adventure as a way to get rich, while others use their skills to protect the innocent. Fighters have the best all-around fighting capabilities of the PC classes. A fighter's rigorous martial training grants him many bonus feats as he progresses. Hit die: d10
Monk – Martial artist, chiropractor, clergy, etc. - Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons. Good-aligned monks serve as protectors of the people, while evil monks make ideal spies and assassins. Though they don't cast spells, monks channel a subtle energy called ki. This energy allows them to perform amazing feats, such as healing themselves, catching arrows in flight, and dodging blows with lightning speed. Their mundane and ki-based abilities grow with experience, granting them more power over themselves and their environment. Alignment restrictions: any lawful (you cannot be anything other than lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a monk). Hit die: d8
Paladin – Police, local government, clergy, etc. - Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test – an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to do good in the world. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting them from disease, healing them and their allies, and guarding against fear. Divine power also guides their sword arms, making them among the most effective warriors against undead and evil outsiders. Many of the paladin's special abilities also benefit from a high charisma score. Alignment restrictions: Lawful good only. Hit die: d10
Ranger – Park ranger, survivalist, animal handler, etc. - Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy – a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Hit die: d10
Rogue – Drug dealer, local government, private investigator, etc. - Rogues have little in common with each other. While some – maybe even the majority – are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to the fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes “fake it” well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item. Hit die: d6
Sorcerer – Artist, craftsman, business owner, etc. - Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories – just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. CHARISMA MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 3rd level spell requires 13 charisma). Hit die: d4
Wizard – Student, teacher, scientist, etc. - Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells; everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells to the go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar: a small, magical creature that serves her. INTELLIGENCE MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 5th level spell requires 15 intelligence). Hit die: d4
Lawful Good - “Crusader” - A lawful good character has the commitment and discipline to oppose and fight evil relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. A paladin who fights evil without mercy and who protects the innocent without hesitation is lawful good. Lawful good emphasizes honor and compassion. (Example character: Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Neutral Good - “Benefactor” - A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. A cleric who helps others according to their needs is neutral good. Neutral good means doing what is good without bias toward or against order. (Example character: Izuku “Deku” Midoriya from Boku no/My Hero Academia)
Chaotic Good - “Rebel” - A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. A ranger who waylays the evil baron's tax collectors is chaotic good. Chaotic good combines a good heart with a free spirit. (Example character: Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing)
Lawful Neutral - “Judge” - A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code direct her. She may believe in personal order, and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. A monk who follows her discipline without being swayed by the demands of those in need, nor by the temptations of evil, is lawful neutral. Lawful neutral means that you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. (Example character: Judge Dredd)
True Neutral - “Undecided” - A true neutral character doesn't feel strongly one way or the other about good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. She thinks good is better than evil – after all, she'd rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones – but she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. A wizard who devotes herself to her art and is bored by the semantics of moral debate is true neutral. Some true neutral characters, however, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as dangerous extremes. They advocate neutrality as the most balanced road in the long run. Neutral means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. (Example character: The Sniper from Team Fortress 2)
Chaotic Neutral - “Free Spirit” - A chaotic neutral character is an individualist, resents restrictions, and challenges tradition. He does not intentionally promote anarchy, however, as that would require he be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make others suffer). A bard who wanders the land living by his wits is chaotic neutral. Chaotic neutral represents freedom, both from society's restrictions, and from a do-gooder's zeal, though a character of this alignment is not totally random in his actions. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. (Example character: Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye)
Lawful Evil - “Dominator” - A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order, but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He is loath to break laws or promises, partly because he depends on order to protect himself. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not killing in cold blood, and imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled thugs. The scheming baron who exploits his people is lawful evil. Lawful evil represents methodical, intentional evil. (Example character: Clu 2 from Tron: Legacy)
Neutral Evil - “Malefactor” - A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with, shedding no tears for those she harms. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any more noble. However, she doesn't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Neutral evil represents evil without honor and without variation. (Example character: Starscream from Transformers)
Chaotic Evil - “Destroyer” - A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, and unpredictable. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can only be made to work together by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. The demented sorcerer pursuing mad schemes of vengeance and havoc is chaotic evil. Chaotic evil represents the destruction not only of beauty and life, but of the order on which beauty and life depend. (Example character: Invader Zim)
Determine your abilities by rolling 3 d6s for each ability. You may reroll a maximum of 3 times and choose the most suitable from that set.
Charisma - measures a character's force of personality, persuasiveness, ability to lead, and physical attractiveness. It represents actual personal strength, not merely how one is perceived by others in a social setting. Charisma is most important for paladins, sorcerers, and bards. It is also important for clerics, as it affects their ability to turn undead. All characters benefit from having a high charisma when speaking with others in the world. Charisma affects an NPC's initial reaction to the player and it modifies the player's persuasion skill checks.
Constitution - represents the health and stamina of a character. High constitution increases the number of hit points a character has (affecting how much damage they can take), and this makes it important for everyone, but especially so for fighters. If constitution ever increases, hit points increase retroactively as well. Spellcasters also need strong constitution to keep their spells from being interrupted during combat.
Dexterity - measures agility, reflexes, and balance. This ability is most important for rogues, but also for characters who typically wear light or medium armor (barbarians and rangers) or none at all (monks, wizards, and sorcerers), or for any character who wants to be a skilled archer.
Intelligence - determines how well a character learns and reasons. Intelligence is important for wizards because it affects how many spells they can cast, how hard their spells are to resist, and how powerful their spells can be. It is also important for any character who wants to have a strong assortment of skills; however increasing intelligence will not grant bonus skill points retroactively.
Strength - measures the muscle and physical power of a character. This ability is especially important for fighters, barbarians, paladins, rangers, and monks because it helps them prevail in combat.
Wisdom - describes a character's willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition, whereas intelligence represents the ability to analyze information. An "absent-minded professor" has low wisdom and high intelligence. A simpleton with low intelligence might nevertheless be very perceptive (have high wisdom). Wisdom is important for clerics and druids, affecting the strength and number of their spells, and is also significant for paladins and rangers. It is very important for monks as well, modifying many of their abilities. The wise character is capable of intuitively understanding others, occasionally having insights into their motivations.
Determine your skill ranks by rolling 1 d20 for each skill. You may reroll a maximum of 3 times and choose the most suitable from that set.
Animal Empathy – A successful check allows a character to charm or dominate certain creatures. Check: Animals and dire animals have a difficulty class of 15 + the creature's hit dice. For beasts and magical beasts, the DC is 19 + the creature's hit dice. If the check succeeds, the creature is dominated. Special: If the character fails their check by five or more, the creature will go hostile. (Charisma – Druid, Ranger)
Bluff - The character can make the outrageous or the untrue seem plausible. The skill encompasses acting, conning, fast talking, misdirection and misleading body language. The more difficult the con, the more difficult the check. (Charisma – Bard, Rogue)
Concentration – (ONLY APPLICABLE IF YOU ALSO HAVE SPELLCRAFT) Concentration checks are made whenever a character is distracted during the act of casting a spell. Concentration checks are also made when casting a spell in defensive casting mode. The difficulty class for this type of check is 15 + spell level. (Constitution – Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)
Craft Weapon - The character knows how to create most types of weapons and ammunition from different materials. Check: Based on the difficulty to craft this particular item. (Intelligence – any class)
Disable Trap - This skill allows the character to perform a variety of actions on a trap. Check: There are four progressively difficult actions that a character may perform on a trap; the base DC is determined by the difficulty rating of the trap and is modified by the action being performed. Assessing a trap to determine its difficulty modifies the DC by -7. Flagging a trap to make it visible to the rest of the party modifies the DC by -5. Disarming a trap uses the base DC. Recovering a trap modifies the DC by +10. Special: Rogue is the only class capable of disarming traps with a DC of 35 or greater. With 5 or more ranks in the set trap skill a character gets a +2 synergy bonus on disable trap checks. Spectacular failure: When disarming or recovering a trap, a spectacular failure results in the trap immediately going off if a DC check is failed by 10 or more. (Intelligence – Rogue)
Discipline - A successful check allows the character to resist knockdown. Check: The DC is equal to the attacker's attack roll. When resisting a knockdown attempt, a character gets a +4 bonus per size category for being larger than the attacker, and a -4 penalty per size category for being smaller than the attacker. (Strength – Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger)
Heal – Enables the character to start with a first aid kit on hand. The healer must make a successful check against the GM's roll. GM will assign random difficulty to each kit to determine what is inside it. If you make a successful roll, the kit will contain exactly what you need. If you fail, the kit will either be empty, damaged, or useless in some way. (Wisdom – any class)
Hide - This skill allows a character to hide from enemies. Check: The character must succeed at an opposed test against a searching creature's spot heck. Success means that the character goes undetected. Special: The hide and move silently skills combine into a single stealth action. Movement in stealth mode is slower than the normal rate. Low light can provide a bonus. A character in stealth mode is harder to spot if standing still. (Dexterity – Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue)
Intimidate - The character can use this skill to get a bully to back down or make a prisoner give him the information he wants. Must make a successful check. (Charisma – Barbarian, Rogue)
Listen - Alerts a character to hidden creatures that may be nearby. Standing still provides a +5 bonus to a listen check. +10 DC if the listener is in combat. +5 DC if the target is standing still. -5 DC if the listener is standing still. +1 DC for every 3 meters between listener and target. Size modifiers (tiny: +8, small: +4, medium: 0, large: -4, huge: -8). (Wisdom – Barbarian, Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue)
Lore – Grants special knowledge about town history, important information, etc. PM's will follow selection of this skill. (Intelligence – any class)
Move Silently - A character may sneak quietly past an enemy. Check: A move silently check is opposed by the listening creature's listen check. If the character is successful, the opposing creature remains unaware as the character moves. (Dexterity – Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue)
Open Lock - Allows the character to enter locked rooms and open locked containers. Check: The difficulty class is determined by the lock's difficulty rating. A successful check opens the lock. (Dexterity – Rogue)
Parry - Allows the character to block incoming attacks and make spectacular counterattacks. Check: The difficulty class is the modified attack roll of the incoming blow. A successful parry means that the attack does not damage the parrying character. A character may only parry a number of attacks per round equal to the number of attacks per round available to the character. (Dexterity – All except Sorcerer and Wizard)
Persuade - A successful persuade check prompts NPCs to reveal additional information or give bonus treasure in conversation. Check: The difficulty class is determined by the NPC being spoken to. (Charisma – Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Rogue)
Search - Search is used to detect traps, find hidden objects, and secret doors. Check: Detecting a trap is an opposed test, pitting the character's search check against a difficulty class equal to the set trap skill check, plus the strength of the trap. Only rogues may detect traps with a DC greater than 35. (Intelligence – Ranger, Rogue)
Set Trap - This skill allows a character to place traps. Check: When a trap is set, the character makes a skill check. The difficulty class of the task is determined by the power of the trap. Spectacular Failure: If a skill check is failed by 10 or more, the trap goes off in the attempt to set it. This can only occur if you are in combat when trying to set the trap. Special: Having 5 or more ranks in the disable trap skill grants a +2 synergy bonus on set trap checks. Any party members will be able to see traps that the character has set. (Dexterity – Ranger, Rogue)
Spellcraft – This skill allows your character to use magic. More details in the Spells section. (Intelligence – Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)
Spot - A successful spot check reveals a hidden creature. Check: The difficulty class is determined by the hide check of the hidden creature. +10 DC if the spotter is in combat. +5 DC if the target is standing still. -5 DC if the spotter is standing still. Size modifiers (tiny: +8, small: +4, medium: 0, large: -4, huge: -8). (Wisdom – Ranger, Rogue)
Tumble - Characters with high tumbling skill are able to roll away from attacks during combat, positioning themselves safely at all times. If successful the attack is avoided. Check: DC 15 to avoid attack of opportunity while moving. (Dexterity – Bard, Monk, Rogue)
Use Magic Device – Allows your character to use an object they would not have previous knowledge on how to use. Difficulty by value of item. (Charisma – Bard, Rogue)
IMPORTANT: If you have the skill Spellcraft, you will enter the altered world with strange powers that you cannot explain. These powers are determined by your abilities per class (Bard, Sorcerer – Charisma. Cleric, Druid – Wisdom. Wizard– Intelligence.). Depending on your ability score, these powers will be barely noticeable to reasonably strong.

The town of Woodbury has never been the topic of conversation for any who live outside its forested borders. It holds no tourist attractions, no monuments, no interesting landmarks. Its tiny population has continued to shrink as the majority of each generation leave for bigger and better things in bigger and better towns. The ones who remain, however, are a generally hardy, reliable group who value work ethic and honesty. They are so few and close knit that all emergency services and local government offices reside in the same building. It is common knowledge that nothing exciting has happened in Woodbury since its foundation...but a storm is coming that will test the true mettle and character of its inhabitants.
You are either a member of an emergency service, a local government employee, or a visitor to the town hall (be it a complaint or something else...you decide!) when the storm hits. You must hide in the basement shelter to wait it out with everyone else in the building, but when you exit, the world is not the same...

I'm drawing on a few previous rp ideas I've had as well as Silent Hill and Dungeons & Dragons to make this horror rp, so I hope it goes over well with you guys! We will be using adapted DnD character classes, alignments, and skills to build your characters, and I'd like to use a rolling system for certain events and actions (I seem to remember a function on this site for dice rolling but I forget how it works so if any of you recall, I'd much appreciate it).
NOT EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY LIKE DUNGEONS & DRAGONS/NEVERWINTER NIGHTS. I'm using them as a guide to help me build an interesting and challenging roleplay.
Classes, Alignments, Abilities, and Skills referenced/copied from the first Neverwinter Nights PC game (2003)
Barbarian – Fire department, redneck, survivalist, etc. - Barbarians are brave, even reckless warriors, and their great strength and heartiness makes them well suited for adventure. Barbarians scornfully reject the fighter traditions of arms training and discipline, instead tapping into a powerful rage that makes them stronger, tougher, and better able to withstand attacks. They only have the energy for a few such displays per day, but it is usually sufficient. Constant exposure to danger also gives barbarians a sort of “sixth sense”, a preternatural ability to sense danger and dodge attacks, and their running stamina is legendary. Alignment restrictions: any nonlawful (you cannot be lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a barbarian). Hit Die: d12
Bard – Musician, journalist/reporter, historian, etc. - Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. His magic emphasizes charms and illusions, and the bard can also play an inspiring song that strengthens him and his allies. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. Alignment restrictions: any non lawful (you cannot be lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a bard). CHARISMA MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 3rd level spell requires 13 charisma). Hit die: d6
Cleric – Medic, clergy, psychic, etc. - Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric help those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. WISDOM MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 2nd level spell requires 12 wisdom). Hit die: d8
Druid – Hippie, animal handler, gardener, etc. - Druids are divine spellcasters who receive their spells from nature, not the gods. They strive to live in harmony with the natural world, and hate anything that is not part of the natural cycle, especially aberrations and undead creatures. As they gain experience, they learn to take the shapes of animals and eventually more powerful creatures. Alignment restrictions: Can only be neutral good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil. WISDOM MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 4th level spell requires 14 wisdom). Hit die: d8
Fighter – Police, martial artist, athlete, etc. - Fighters can be many things, from soldiers to criminal enforcers. Some see adventure as a way to get rich, while others use their skills to protect the innocent. Fighters have the best all-around fighting capabilities of the PC classes. A fighter's rigorous martial training grants him many bonus feats as he progresses. Hit die: d10
Monk – Martial artist, chiropractor, clergy, etc. - Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons. Good-aligned monks serve as protectors of the people, while evil monks make ideal spies and assassins. Though they don't cast spells, monks channel a subtle energy called ki. This energy allows them to perform amazing feats, such as healing themselves, catching arrows in flight, and dodging blows with lightning speed. Their mundane and ki-based abilities grow with experience, granting them more power over themselves and their environment. Alignment restrictions: any lawful (you cannot be anything other than lawful good, lawful neutral, or lawful evil as a monk). Hit die: d8
Paladin – Police, local government, clergy, etc. - Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test – an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to do good in the world. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting them from disease, healing them and their allies, and guarding against fear. Divine power also guides their sword arms, making them among the most effective warriors against undead and evil outsiders. Many of the paladin's special abilities also benefit from a high charisma score. Alignment restrictions: Lawful good only. Hit die: d10
Ranger – Park ranger, survivalist, animal handler, etc. - Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy – a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Hit die: d10
Rogue – Drug dealer, local government, private investigator, etc. - Rogues have little in common with each other. While some – maybe even the majority – are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to the fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes “fake it” well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item. Hit die: d6
Sorcerer – Artist, craftsman, business owner, etc. - Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories – just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. CHARISMA MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 3rd level spell requires 13 charisma). Hit die: d4
Wizard – Student, teacher, scientist, etc. - Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells; everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells to the go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar: a small, magical creature that serves her. INTELLIGENCE MUST BE 10+ THE SPELL LEVEL (e.g. 5th level spell requires 15 intelligence). Hit die: d4
Lawful Good - “Crusader” - A lawful good character has the commitment and discipline to oppose and fight evil relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. A paladin who fights evil without mercy and who protects the innocent without hesitation is lawful good. Lawful good emphasizes honor and compassion. (Example character: Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Neutral Good - “Benefactor” - A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. A cleric who helps others according to their needs is neutral good. Neutral good means doing what is good without bias toward or against order. (Example character: Izuku “Deku” Midoriya from Boku no/My Hero Academia)
Chaotic Good - “Rebel” - A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. A ranger who waylays the evil baron's tax collectors is chaotic good. Chaotic good combines a good heart with a free spirit. (Example character: Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing)
Lawful Neutral - “Judge” - A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code direct her. She may believe in personal order, and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. A monk who follows her discipline without being swayed by the demands of those in need, nor by the temptations of evil, is lawful neutral. Lawful neutral means that you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. (Example character: Judge Dredd)
True Neutral - “Undecided” - A true neutral character doesn't feel strongly one way or the other about good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. She thinks good is better than evil – after all, she'd rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones – but she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. A wizard who devotes herself to her art and is bored by the semantics of moral debate is true neutral. Some true neutral characters, however, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as dangerous extremes. They advocate neutrality as the most balanced road in the long run. Neutral means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. (Example character: The Sniper from Team Fortress 2)
Chaotic Neutral - “Free Spirit” - A chaotic neutral character is an individualist, resents restrictions, and challenges tradition. He does not intentionally promote anarchy, however, as that would require he be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make others suffer). A bard who wanders the land living by his wits is chaotic neutral. Chaotic neutral represents freedom, both from society's restrictions, and from a do-gooder's zeal, though a character of this alignment is not totally random in his actions. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. (Example character: Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye)
Lawful Evil - “Dominator” - A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order, but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He is loath to break laws or promises, partly because he depends on order to protect himself. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not killing in cold blood, and imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled thugs. The scheming baron who exploits his people is lawful evil. Lawful evil represents methodical, intentional evil. (Example character: Clu 2 from Tron: Legacy)
Neutral Evil - “Malefactor” - A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with, shedding no tears for those she harms. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any more noble. However, she doesn't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Neutral evil represents evil without honor and without variation. (Example character: Starscream from Transformers)
Chaotic Evil - “Destroyer” - A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, and unpredictable. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can only be made to work together by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. The demented sorcerer pursuing mad schemes of vengeance and havoc is chaotic evil. Chaotic evil represents the destruction not only of beauty and life, but of the order on which beauty and life depend. (Example character: Invader Zim)
Determine your abilities by rolling 3 d6s for each ability. You may reroll a maximum of 3 times and choose the most suitable from that set.
Charisma - measures a character's force of personality, persuasiveness, ability to lead, and physical attractiveness. It represents actual personal strength, not merely how one is perceived by others in a social setting. Charisma is most important for paladins, sorcerers, and bards. It is also important for clerics, as it affects their ability to turn undead. All characters benefit from having a high charisma when speaking with others in the world. Charisma affects an NPC's initial reaction to the player and it modifies the player's persuasion skill checks.
Constitution - represents the health and stamina of a character. High constitution increases the number of hit points a character has (affecting how much damage they can take), and this makes it important for everyone, but especially so for fighters. If constitution ever increases, hit points increase retroactively as well. Spellcasters also need strong constitution to keep their spells from being interrupted during combat.
Dexterity - measures agility, reflexes, and balance. This ability is most important for rogues, but also for characters who typically wear light or medium armor (barbarians and rangers) or none at all (monks, wizards, and sorcerers), or for any character who wants to be a skilled archer.
Intelligence - determines how well a character learns and reasons. Intelligence is important for wizards because it affects how many spells they can cast, how hard their spells are to resist, and how powerful their spells can be. It is also important for any character who wants to have a strong assortment of skills; however increasing intelligence will not grant bonus skill points retroactively.
Strength - measures the muscle and physical power of a character. This ability is especially important for fighters, barbarians, paladins, rangers, and monks because it helps them prevail in combat.
Wisdom - describes a character's willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition, whereas intelligence represents the ability to analyze information. An "absent-minded professor" has low wisdom and high intelligence. A simpleton with low intelligence might nevertheless be very perceptive (have high wisdom). Wisdom is important for clerics and druids, affecting the strength and number of their spells, and is also significant for paladins and rangers. It is very important for monks as well, modifying many of their abilities. The wise character is capable of intuitively understanding others, occasionally having insights into their motivations.
Determine your skill ranks by rolling 1 d20 for each skill. You may reroll a maximum of 3 times and choose the most suitable from that set.
Animal Empathy – A successful check allows a character to charm or dominate certain creatures. Check: Animals and dire animals have a difficulty class of 15 + the creature's hit dice. For beasts and magical beasts, the DC is 19 + the creature's hit dice. If the check succeeds, the creature is dominated. Special: If the character fails their check by five or more, the creature will go hostile. (Charisma – Druid, Ranger)
Bluff - The character can make the outrageous or the untrue seem plausible. The skill encompasses acting, conning, fast talking, misdirection and misleading body language. The more difficult the con, the more difficult the check. (Charisma – Bard, Rogue)
Concentration – (ONLY APPLICABLE IF YOU ALSO HAVE SPELLCRAFT) Concentration checks are made whenever a character is distracted during the act of casting a spell. Concentration checks are also made when casting a spell in defensive casting mode. The difficulty class for this type of check is 15 + spell level. (Constitution – Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)
Craft Weapon - The character knows how to create most types of weapons and ammunition from different materials. Check: Based on the difficulty to craft this particular item. (Intelligence – any class)
Disable Trap - This skill allows the character to perform a variety of actions on a trap. Check: There are four progressively difficult actions that a character may perform on a trap; the base DC is determined by the difficulty rating of the trap and is modified by the action being performed. Assessing a trap to determine its difficulty modifies the DC by -7. Flagging a trap to make it visible to the rest of the party modifies the DC by -5. Disarming a trap uses the base DC. Recovering a trap modifies the DC by +10. Special: Rogue is the only class capable of disarming traps with a DC of 35 or greater. With 5 or more ranks in the set trap skill a character gets a +2 synergy bonus on disable trap checks. Spectacular failure: When disarming or recovering a trap, a spectacular failure results in the trap immediately going off if a DC check is failed by 10 or more. (Intelligence – Rogue)
Discipline - A successful check allows the character to resist knockdown. Check: The DC is equal to the attacker's attack roll. When resisting a knockdown attempt, a character gets a +4 bonus per size category for being larger than the attacker, and a -4 penalty per size category for being smaller than the attacker. (Strength – Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger)
Heal – Enables the character to start with a first aid kit on hand. The healer must make a successful check against the GM's roll. GM will assign random difficulty to each kit to determine what is inside it. If you make a successful roll, the kit will contain exactly what you need. If you fail, the kit will either be empty, damaged, or useless in some way. (Wisdom – any class)
Hide - This skill allows a character to hide from enemies. Check: The character must succeed at an opposed test against a searching creature's spot heck. Success means that the character goes undetected. Special: The hide and move silently skills combine into a single stealth action. Movement in stealth mode is slower than the normal rate. Low light can provide a bonus. A character in stealth mode is harder to spot if standing still. (Dexterity – Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue)
Intimidate - The character can use this skill to get a bully to back down or make a prisoner give him the information he wants. Must make a successful check. (Charisma – Barbarian, Rogue)
Listen - Alerts a character to hidden creatures that may be nearby. Standing still provides a +5 bonus to a listen check. +10 DC if the listener is in combat. +5 DC if the target is standing still. -5 DC if the listener is standing still. +1 DC for every 3 meters between listener and target. Size modifiers (tiny: +8, small: +4, medium: 0, large: -4, huge: -8). (Wisdom – Barbarian, Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue)
Lore – Grants special knowledge about town history, important information, etc. PM's will follow selection of this skill. (Intelligence – any class)
