The Other Gauntlet: Falcon's Sidereal Brawl Charms


The Scripture of the Pragmatic Maiden
Once, there was a maiden...
...who had a lot of problems.
They were invincible at home
And they chased her when she ran.
So she joined her enemies
And became a problem herself.
"Survival is survival," said she.

To the seasoned brawler, any battlefield is a wealth of potential weapons. To one who can control fate itself, even the most innocuous object may be revealed to be a deadly weapon. With the activation of this charm, the character calls upon his connection to the Essence of Mars and all things warlike cry out for his attention.

When this charm is used, the character finds something he can use as an improvised weapon. Anywhere. If necessary, probability and chance twist horribly to provide some object that he can use in a martial way. When this charm is activated, divide (3 x Essence) dots between the weapon's Speed, Attack, Damage and Defence, although none can be greater than his Essence and all start at -2. The weapon does bashing or lethal damage at the character's discretion.


This is far too complicated. I'd personally have a simpler structure, and possibly a less good one; you can see my take on this kind of "weapon DBT" at my Infernal Melee page. Nonetheless, I like it. - willows

Falcon - I know it's kind of complicated, but I'm not sure how to change it and both keep the weapon stats useful but not render other weapons wholly useless. You could just arbitrarily set values, like this:

Essence   Spd   Atk   Dmg   Def
   2      -2    -1     2    -1
   3      -2     0     3     0
   4      -2    +1     4    +1
   5      -2    +2     5    +2

If you have players over Essence 5, that's your problem. :)

That's a simpler version, but leads to less flexibility. Pick one you like.
