MRPG Ranger

From The Coursebooks Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Ranger is a fast-paced, highly-evasive class. Their weapon of choice is the strung bow, over which they hold total mastery. While the Ranger does deal death from afar, their primary strength lies in mid-range combat, moving in close, firing of many arrows, and fleeing before an enemy can close the gap.

Rangers wear no armor and dress in specialized outfits with some leather. When not wearing armor they gain a major bonus to movement speed. Rangers can dress in armor and focus on using crossbows and other weapons, but they lose the advantages of speed and maneuverability.

Proficiencies

  • Weapon Proficiency, Ranged
  • Special Proficiency, Ranged
  • Special Proficiency, Dodge

Rangers may take anything from the Open Proficiency List for their final two proficiencies.

Exigent Moirai

  • Rank I: Twisting your body with unnatural dexterity, you slip between attacking enemies and roll free of attack.
    • Rank II: While rolling free, you attempt to trip any nearby enemies. This is similar to the Knockdown activated ability but works on 5 Star + Rank enemies directly in your path. The effect lasts 1d6 rounds regardless of bonuses.
      • Rank III: As you move, you create a sudden, intense burst of wind, like a thunderclap. All nearby enemies are knocked down and temporarily dazed. Effective on 10 star enemies.

Pillars

MORNING NOTES:' Move all stuff in Martial that regards movement over to Rowen. Replace stuff in Martial with more shit about firing extra arrows.

  • some kind of super multishot pillar that caps at "you just always fire 2 arrows and it goes up from there" along the way this also gives them bonuses for being close up
  • stupid crazy evasive pillar that lets them fire while running, jumping, flipping, etc
  • A magic pillar that allows them to cast spells with their bow.
  • a pillar that's all about careful aim and shooting really far - this pillar is for people who are playing the game wrong.

  • These Pillars are mutually exclusive. There is literally no overlap. You should not have taken both. Whenever you make a ranged attack, regardless of weapon used, roll 1d4. On a 1, the bowstring of your weapon snaps and hits you in the eye. You arte blinded for 2d6 rounds or 1 hour if combat ends.

  • You smartly combined the best two pillars in this class and have become the master of the bow.
  • I will think of cool bonuses later.

-Rowen Codex - - ARCH - - Called Shot Focus -

  • These two pillars don't fit together very well. One is all running around like a maniac(presumably with a longbow) while the other is about standing still and shooting stuff with a crossbow.
  • Well, since we're here anyway, let's get the pre-reqs addressed. You will need to have Repeating Heavy Crossbow Focus, Hand-and-a-Half Mastery and Punishment facets. You also need to meet all of the strength requirements and can only wield repeating crossbows.
  • You get to dual-wield repeating heavy crossbows and run around like a crazy dodging/evading maniac.

Order I

  • If you have a weapon subtype Focus Facet in the Bows Type, you fire 1 additional arrow whenever you shoot. This stacks with Multi-Shot, meaning each arrow fired with part of a Multi-Shot is two arrows.

Order I

  • You may combine your Doge and Evade skills when making a check that calls for either, if you have a Bow equipped. This stacks with Second Order and adds double your speed.

  • You may move double your speed in feet each round. This does not add to your Speed stat.

Special

If a ranger has 0 encumberance, they gain an automatic 1 + Rank points when making an attack roll if they are moving. This specifically applies to running, standing on a moving surface does not count. If they are airborn(in mid jump) they get an additional 1 + Rank as attack dice.
