Class: Necanthrope

This wizarding tradition is based on SLA Industries, but tweaked and reflavoured to better fit the magic punk of the Wizard City.

 

From SLA Industries

 

Sixty seven years ago, a massive dimensional rift opened above the town of Krew, spewing hell-flames and alien debris for seven nights and days before collapsing on itself. The resulting wasteland was named Chiaroscuro, after the strange chiaroscuro-like glow it emits during the night. From the wreckage came innumerable monsters, but also people wearing strange armour of chitinous plates and metallic barbs and twitching tubing. They called themselves the necanthropes, they claimed to have escaped from a world of untold brutalities and they turned out to be potent mages - unless deprived of their necrosuits.

In time, Chiaroscuro became a new resource - deadly but gladly exploited - and necanthropes started to recruit new members, teaching others how to use a necrosuit. While no one currently has the technology to manufacture a new necrosuit, there are plenty to be found in Chiaroscuro, buried in debris along with their unfortunate former users. The few original necanthropes who survived falling through the rift formed a not so secret cabal, the Teeth, that ostentatiously serves to police its own members and is rumoured to slowly consolidate power for inscrutable reasons.

You are an Outsider.

Items: necrosuit

Perks & Flaws:

You must be wearing your necrosuit to use magic.

Necrosuit is a semi-living biomechanical marvel of magitech from another universe, brought Around Here by extradimensional refugees. It forms a symbiotic bond with its wearer, allowing them to store and channel magical energy even if their own talents are rather lacking. It also serves as a spellbook, storing up to 20 spells.

Necrosuits' designs vary wildly, but they are always unsettling, alien and very, very conspicuous. A necrosuit cannot be worn alongside an armour, but grants the wearer AC equal to twice their unspent MD.

Cantrips:

• Imperfection: Crack any glass, crystal or ice you can see with a thought.
• Notice Me: A creature you can see is forced to acknowledge you.
• Becoming: Alter your necrosuit. This allows you to clean, mend or reshape it. However, it will always be an obvious, grotesque, Gigeresque biomagical monstrosity. You cannot make it look "normal".

Spell List:

1. Gore Cannon: Celrydreahad

R: 60'; T: creature

Momentarily transform your arm into a huge cannon that spews a torrent of psychoactive gore.

The target gets to choose to

• either take [sum]+[dice] acid damage,
• or suffer a detrimental effect of the caster's choosing.

The effect can be anything that could justifiably be caused by the aforementioned psychoactive gore. For example, the target gets glued in place, or blinded, or drugged, or the gore is acidic and dissolves their armour, or it attracts a swarm of biting vermin, etc. The target knows the exact effect before choosing.

2. Ebb Enhancement: Seven Senses

R: self; D: [sum] minutes

Choose [dice] modifications to your necrosuit's sensory processing. For example: infrared vision, night vision, 360° vision, see invisible things as faint outlines, see magic auras, scent tracking, detect poison or disease via smell, heightened hearing, etc. Your necrosuit mutates to reflect the effects, e.g. growing a hundred tiny eyes.

3. Ebb Enhancement: Necro Mod

R: self; D: [sum] minutes

Choose [dice] modifications to your necrosuit. Most can be chosen multiple times.

• Grow any kind of melee weapon.
• Grow a new, fully functional limb of any kind.
• Gain resistance to one type of damage.
• Your suit seals all orifices and provides you with oxygen. You don't need to breathe and ignore airborne toxins.
• Sticky leakage allows you to easily climb on any surface.

Your necrosuit's AC is also maxed (as if all your MD were unspent) for the duration of this transformation.

4. Kinetic Ebb Force: Burst

All creatures and loose objects within [dice] spaces of the caster are knocked back [dice]×2 spaces, save negates. Everything affected takes falling damage.

5. Ebb Electricity: Bioluminescence

R: 60' (for shot orbs)

Conjure [dice] crackling orbs of electricity that slowly float around you for [sum] hours. As another action, shoot one of the orbs to stun a creature or disable an appliance, save negates.

6. Choose one of:

Blue Thermal: Glacial Ebb

R: touch; D: concentration

Freeze water or reshape snow and ice.

At 1 [dice], you can only roughly move, bend and twist ice, or freeze a barrel of water over the course of a minute.

At 2 [dice], you can craft elaborate objects out of ice, though they will be very brittle, or freeze a barrel of water in seconds.

At 3 [dice], you may enhance the properties of objects you shape. For example, a crowbar or armour made of ice can be used as if they were iron, or a gown of snow will not fall apart. However, your creations are no more resistant to thawing than normal ice.

At 4 [dice], you can affect glass and crystal, too.

Creatures resist the effects - water in or directly around them cannot be affected.

Red Thermal: Infernal Ebb

R: 100'; T: [dice]×5' radius

All water in the area is rapidly heated up, boiling in seconds. Creatures resist the effects, only taking [sum] damage.

7. Medical Ebb: Biomanipulation

With a touch, restore [sum] HP, or [dice] attribute points, or a Wound up to [dice]×2 severity.

8. Voice of the Ebb: Syndicate

The caster and [dice] touched creatures who share a language can speak in thoughts for [sum] hours. The spell is unreliable over vast distances and doesn't work across dimensional boundaries.

The caster can dismiss anyone from the syndicate and it ends altogether should they fall unconscious or asleep. Other targets remove themselves when they fall unconscious or asleep, or at will.

9. Kinetic Ebb Force: Field

R: 30'; D: concentration

Create a shimmering square of ebb force (10' × 10'), or a sphere around the caster (large enough for the caster and one other person). The force field has [sum] HP. It can move [dice] spaces per round and can support a person's weight.

10. Kinetic Ebb Force: Focus

R: 30'; T: creatures or objects; D: concentration

You can remotely manipulate targets as if with [dice] invisible hands of your own strength. Each "hand" can move [dice] spaces per round, independently. Creatures can wiggle free of your telekinesis with a successful save, but it takes their action. Telekinetic crushing or choking deals [dice] damage per round.

Emblem Spells:

11. Ebb Enhancement: Death Guardian

R: self; D: [sum] minutes

Animate your necrosuit to work as an independent entity. It shares your HP, MD, abilities and consciousness, but acts on its own (and gets its own action in combat). You can use your spells normally even outside of your necrosuit while this spell lasts.

With no Doom, the suit collapses on the ground once duration runs out. With the first Doom, you have to return to your suit before the duration runs out or die of sudden hemorrhage.

With 3+ [dice], if the caster's flesh body dies while this spell is active, the necrosuit will store their soul and will remain animated indefinitely.

12. Ebb Enhancement: Demon Form

R: self; D: [sum] rounds

Mutate your necrosuit into an unstoppable demon of utter destruction:

• It grows [dice]+1 times larger;
• its AC is maxed (as if all your MD were unspent);
• gain [dice] damage reduction;
• all of your attacks are enhanced.

At 2 [dice], take 2 actions per round.

At 4 [dice], take 3 actions per round.

When the spell ends, due to extreme strain you take [sum] irresistible damage and cannot use magic for [sum] hours.

Dooms:

1. Your necrosuit painfully and permanently bonds with your body. You no longer have skin, only necrosuit. On the bright side, duration of your Ebb Enhancement spells is now in hours.
2. You lose consciousness and only wake up a day later. In the meantime, your necrosuit has gone on a murderous rampage.
3. You are now biologically immortal. Once you die, likely violently, you will mutate into a murderous monstrosity that seeks to feed on magic, grow and evolve. It is quite likely, however, that the Teeth will find you first and offer that you join their ranks. They will not take no for an answer.

You can reset your Dooms by surgically removing the suit, regrowing your skin and starting over with a new necrosuit. Alas, you cannot be permanently rid of your Dooms.
