GM Poetics Presents: Dungeon Punk 1350

Game Master Azure Poetics

I’m glad you asked, friendo. When fiction started going punk, movements beyond the usual frontrunners like cyberpunk and steampunk started to emerge. Dungeon punk is the fantasy version – it’s about worlds that go wild with magic instead of technology, where magic is the technology, with elemental-powered trains and sky-pirates on airships and corporations that run on the soul trade and all other kinds of nutty magical nonsense wrapped up in the counterculture movements we all know and love.

This campaign is my first foray into the dungeon punk genre, so you’d better buckle up, buttercup. We’ve got one heck of a ride ahead of us.

If you wage war long enough without a good reason for it, people start to get sick and tired of all the fighting. That’s exactly what happened when the Altivarn Adventurers’ Guild, aided by the clergy of the Parcivaldian See, rounded up the leaders of the Six Nations and got them to sign the Altruan Accords, putting an end to their squabbling over resources and territory. With peace came a magically-fueled industrial boom, and almost overnight, the world began to change.

Stone castles gave way to shining steel towers, covered wagons became cloud-skimming aircraft, and spellcasting, which had once been regarded as the most dangerous and difficult of professions, was given to the masses through the development of commercially-produced magical items. Even the Divines themselves set up shop here in the plane of Existence, leaving their lofty heavens behind to keep a closer eye on things with the common folk. Mortality rates plummeted and the value of spells skyrocketed; of course, it took the economy a few crashes to finally stabilize, but civilization has been moving right along with no stopping point in sight.

You know what it’s really like on the streets, though. On the surface, everyone sees the chrome-covered promise of a better tomorrow, and their hearts beat in sync with the arcane web pulsing through the city’s foundation, but life is never that simple. You’ve got your stuck-up knight-companies pushing their “security” on the common man, your all-seeing Temple Watch whisking spellcasters away in the night, your corporate snake charmers trapping people in soul-binding contracts. Every cat you see slinking down an alley is somebody’s familiar, and you can’t even be sure you’ll make it home in one piece, let alone the same pieces you started out with. All this in the name of a brighter future… but you know if you don’t look out for yourself, you won’t get to enjoy that future, assuming it ever shows up.

So, what kind of person are you? Are you working yourself to death just to save your pitiful excuse of a soul that you were so quick to sign away? Are you a Hedger, a magical problem-solver making your living right under the noses and two steps ahead of the authorities? Are you a visionary following some Divine-mandated directive in the hopes that you’ll ascend to a higher plane of being? Are you an up-and-coming mage looking to carve yourself a slice of the city with your mastery of magic? Are you one of the Mundanes who can’t cast a spell to save your life and can’t stand getting beaten down by wizards growing fat on ill-gotten gains?

Whoever you are, you’re in deep now, and this world has its claws in you until you find a way to break free.

In a world that runs on magic, why would you ever settle for being normal? A major part of the appeal of RPGs is the chance to enjoy experiences you could never have in our world, so with that in mind, I’ve set up several tiers of rewards for characters who dig deep into the world I’ve created, accomplish incredible tasks, or become pillars of the community within the setting.

Some of the things you have to look forward to include the following rules.

Gestalt Character Progression: once your characters qualify for and accept this advancement, you will undergo a brief “catch-up” period where your character comes to terms with their new abilities, but after a while, your gestalt class level will equal your original class level. This allows you to enjoy the power of a gestalt character with more organic character development since they won’t be starting off gestalt.

Mythic Power, Mythic Spells, and bonus Mythic Feats: if you make it far enough in the game to acquire mythical levels of power, the aptly-named Mythic rules will come into play. These will be awarded purely as a bonus for accomplishing incredible feats in the story, and will be selected by the GM to complement your character’s abilities.

I am thinking a Wildling, Unchained Monk, working as 'muscle' or a bodyguard for hire. Street samurai, basically.

I imagine this little dude with a bright (but short) mohawk down the middle of his head, raggedy street wear, looking incongruously harmful... busting heads.

Thinking LN for alignment, in the sense of a personal code of honor.
- He won't fight women or kids unless it's self-defense, and even then he fights non-lethally
- He will kill, but he will not take a job just for killing... the killing has to serve a greater purpose that he would support.
- He will not renege on a contract, unless the contract fundamentally changes, or he finds out he's been lied to
- Rep matters, so he will not stand for much in the way of insults/slights
- He will back off if ordered by his employer, if he has one, but see above
- If his employer tries to screw him or back out of a contract, it just got personal
- He fights to win, and will fight dirty (groin shots, sand in eyes, etc.) but will not intentionally exploit an obvious weakness in another person (no smashing someone's glasses into their eyes, for example)
- If he appears to be at an obvious advantage over his foe, he will attempt to fight non-lethally, unless reason dictates otherwise

Fighting is mostly unarmed, but will also use throwing knives or shuriken, and does carry a few hand weapons just in case.

I have crunch mostly done, and will happily share on request.
Feedback is requested and welcomed.

It all started with reincarnation. Everyone used to believe that souls were immortal, but when they came back in a new body and claimed to be the reincarnation of some famous something-or-other with the intent of reclaiming their lost fortunes, who was wise enough to say otherwise?

Enter the Signifers, who came up with an ethereal stamp you could put on your soul to identify it across lifetimes, giving you a means to see who's who and what belongs to them! However, while it may have abated a few legal headaches at the time, it gave rise to an entirely new problem: with the permanence of souls now irrefutably on display for the world to see, and with the prevalence of magic getting out of hand too quickly for anyone to stop, some enterprising (read: unscrupulous) individuals thought it'd be a great idea to use souls as collateral, and eventually a form of currency, when negotiating business deals among mortals.

It was a terrible idea, so the public jumped all over it and had it written into law immediately. There's no accounting for taste, apparently.

Now, souls are one of many units of economic measurement, and the contracts that bind them are among the most difficult to negotiate, let alone circumvent. If you ever break a soul-binding contract, your soul is forfeit. Gone. Poof. No exceptions. If you're a particularly nasty criminal, you get your soul shoved into a construct and "stimulated" (read: tortured) to produce magical energy that powers many handy devices used in everyday life, like vehicular transport, IlluShine display spheres, and artificial constructs used for labor or security. Hedgers started popping up precisely because of this issue, making a name for themselves by breaking any form of magical bindings, including security measures in banks and archives across the continent... and the big score, cheating a soul-binding contract like no one else can. To this day, Hedgers are some of the most valuable members of the criminal underground, and they're always a top priority for the Temple Watch or more legally-minded knight-companies, like the renowned Ludoshield, to bring in for crimes against the state.

Now that people have had a few decades to mull it over, they're starting to see why this is a horrible state of affairs.

There are several counterculture movements who want to fight soul-binding legislation and practice on every front, including the Sovereign Anima movement, Altivarn Adventurers' Guild purists, and the extremely outspoken Kiranae Parliament. Not one of them will stop until they see their agenda push through and prevail, even if the cost is enough to bring them down.

What a time to be alive, huh?

Ralczan, ten years ago.

Fawn was sobbing, out in the street, alone before the ruins of her burnt house. She wasn’t conscious enough of the situation, but now she was alone.

A woman approached her. ”What happened, little one?” Seeing that the girl didn’t want to stop whimpering, she went on. ”Your family was there, right?” The girl nodded. ”Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid. I will protect you, come here.” The woman opened her arms, offering a hug. The girl was so desperate, so alone, that she accepted. They spent some minutes just like that, in an infinite hug, then the woman started to walk away from the ruins and the girl followed. ”I am Jolanda. What’s your name, little one?”.

”Fawn.”

-----------------

Life for Fawn started hard, losing her family when she was ten. But then, Jolanda came… and it all got much worse.

Jolanda worked for a gang which captured children and trained them as pit fighters, then sold them to local nobles who rejoiced in the underworld environment of illegal fights and bets. Thanks to her, Fawn lived with other children in an estate outside the city, where they were constantly trained and subjected to deprivation of liberty, nourishment and sleep. There she spent many years, honing her skills and waiting to be sold for some dirty coin to someone who would probably make her get killed in a month’s time. All of these years she spent dreaming of choking Jolanda to death with her own hands.

The chance for it came not long ago. Rumour has it that the gang mistakenly captured the son of a powerful noble who, in wrath, pulled some strings to move the city guard against them. That could have been the only way the aristocracy moved a finger to dismantle the web of slavery that was providing them of secret pleasure and amusement for many years. So the guard raided the estate, and chaos and confusion led to many of the children slaves being able to flee. But not Fawn, who instead started seeking for Jolanda amidst the uproaring fights and destruction.

Fawn found Jolanda trapped in one of the guard houses, which had caught fire while the vile woman was hiding on her way to one of the exits of the property. ”How fitting, a burning house” Fawn thought, but walked in anyways. She had sworn to kill Jolanda herself, and wouldn’t let the fire steal her revenge. There she was, Jolanda, trying to talk her way out. Fawn advanced, tasting the moment, and was so focused on it that didn’t notice the ceiling of the guard house falling down on her due to the fires, making the whole structure collapse. While Fawn was swift enough to avoid being caught under the burning beams and wooden planks, Jolanda also capitalised on the incident and fled the other way, never to be seen again.

Frustrated and full of ire, Fawn had to make do with Jolanda’s last minute escape, and faced other problems herself. Spending most of her youth as a slave, she now found herself before a big city, knowing no profession and having no connections, no family and no place to stay. Fortunately for her, the local authorities relocated the rescued children to some orphanages, and the older ones to a common house where they could help each other restart their lives. She soon found out that the guard was constantly recruiting, and thought that would fit her abilities to earn some living and could also provide some chances to locate the whereabouts of Jolanda, or where could have her gone if she had left the city. Being aware of the part the nobility has taken for so long on these kind of affaires, she also longs for having an opportunity to bring a small amount of justice to the less able. Time will teach her, though, how corruption and power can bend justice to their will…

Ossicaran Dussanarra
Male Wildling Shaman 1
CG Small Humanoid (Gnome)

Init: +7, Senses: Low-light Vision Perception: +9
Languages: Common, Wildling, Yggdrian.

=================================================
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
=================================================
Ossicaran stands just over three feet tall, although his slender, gaunt build make him seem smaller and almost fragile. His hair is blue-grey, like magick-polished steel reflecting the night sky, and the way it falls in uneven layers calls to mind the jagged, serrated edges of sawblades. His eyes, too, have a metallic sparkle to them, as if burning from within, with their dark amber shade reminiscent of antiqued bronze. His complexion is ashen, and yet, the intense expression on his face and the life in his eyes somehow prevents his greyish pallor and gauntness from making him appear sickly.

Intrepid (Ex)
Wildlings gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear effects, and on Acrobatics, Climb and Swim skill checks.

Weapon Familiarity (Ex)
Wildlings treat any gnomish weapon as a martial weapon.

Spells
A shaman casts divine spells drawn from the shaman spell list. The shaman must choose and prepare her spells in advance. To prepare or cast a spell, the shaman must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level. The saving throw DCs for shaman spells are also based on Wisdom. A shaman gains bonus spells based on their wisdom score.

Shamans commune with their spirit animals to prepare their spells, choosing a time when they spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation with the spirit animal to regain the daily allotment of spells. A shaman may prepare any spell on the shaman list provided that she can cast spells of that level, but must choose which spells to prepare during the daily communion.

Orisons
Shamans can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.

Spirit (Su) (Battle)
A shaman forms a mystical bond with the spirits of the world, forming a lasting bond with a single spirit at first level (Battle), which grants a number of abilities. At 1st level, a shaman gains the spirit ability granted by the chosen spirit. She adds the spells granted by that spirit to the list that she can cast using spirit magic. She also adds the hexes provided by that spirit to the list of hexes that she can use with the hex and wandering hex class features.

At 8th level, the shaman gains the abilities listed under the greater version of the selected spirit. At 16th, the shaman gains the abilities listed for the true version of the spirit.
--- Spirit Ability: Battle Spirit (Su) (ooooo)
A shaman surrounds herself with the spirit of battle. Allies within 30' of the shaman (including the shaman) receive a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 8th and 16th levels, these bonuses increase by 1. The shaman can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + her charisma modifier.

Spirit Magic
A shaman can spontaneously cast a limited number of spells per day beyond those she prepared ahead of time. She has one spell slot per day of each shaman level she can cast, not including orisons. She can choose these spells from the list of spells granted by her spirit at the time she casts them, and can enhance them with any metamagic feat she knows at the time of casting.

Hex
A shaman learns a number of magical tricks, called hexes, which grant her powers or weaken foes. At s2nd level, a shaman learns one hex. At 4th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, 18th, and 20th, the shaman learns new hexes.
--- Healing
A shaman soothes the wounds of those she touches. This acts as cure light wounds, using the shaman's caster level. A creature can only benefit from this hex once per 24 hours. At 5th level, the hex acts as cure moderate wounds.

Spirit Animal (Relic) -- see spoiler below
By communing with the incredible powers of her spirit, the shaman forges a cherished bond with one specif ic servant of that spirit—known as a spirit animal. A spirit animal is a creature chosen by a shaman to serve as a conduit, allowing her to more fully access the magic of her spirit on a daily basis. The shaman’s spirit animal also grants her special powers. This ability uses the same rules as the wizard’s arcane bond class feature and is treated as a familiar, except as noted.

A shaman uses her level as her effective wizard level when determining the abilities of her spirit animal. A shaman can select any familiar available to wizards to serve as her spirit animal, although her spirit animal is augmented by the power of her chosen spirit. Once selected, the spirit animal cannot be changed. Although a shaman’s spirit animal uses the statistics of a specific animal, it is treated as an outsider with the native subtype for the purposes of spells and abilities that affect it.
Levels of different classes that are entitled to familiars stack with shaman levels for the purpose of determining any spirit animal abilities that depend on the shaman’s level. If a shaman possesses such levels in other classes, her spirit animal always uses the shaman rules for spirit animals, not those used by familiars of other classes (such as witches, wizards, or sorcerers with the arcane bloodline). If the shaman has witch levels, her spirit animal also serves as the conduit to her patron and stores her witch spells. The shaman’s spirit animal is treated as a familiar for the purposes of all spells, effects, and abilities that affect familiars.

If a spirit animal is lost or dies, it can be replaced after 24 hours through a special ritual that consumes material components worth 500 gp per shaman level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete. The new spirit animal must be of the same sort of creature as the previous one.
