The Thrall Warrior for DCC

Thrall Warrior

See any of the free Talislanta pdf’s at http://talislanta.com/?page_id=5 for background info and roleplaying hints.

Hit Dice: d12

Thralls were bred for war and can use any weapon.  They prefer to wear Full Garde armour but can wear any armour.

Deed of Arms and Deed Die as Warrior in DCC.

Luck: At first level a Thrall’s Luck modifier applies to attack rolls with one specific kind of wepon just as a warrior does.  The Thrall may choose Full Garde armour as the “weapon” this applies to.

Thralls are immune to fear both natural and magical.

Thralls are unable to comprehend the use of magic and cannot use scrolls or any magical items that require a command word or activation of any sort.

Tazian Combat:  Thralls may add both their Agility and Strength modifiers to grapple checks.  While wearing Full Garde armour a Thrall Warrior gains an additional armour spike attack that uses a d14 to hit (plus deed die and STR mods), this attack deals d4 damage (plus STR bonus).

As a Thrall Warrior gains more experience they get better at utilizing Full Garde armour.  Use the table below for Full Garde Armour bonuses.  A surprised Thrall Warrior counts as 4 levels lower for the surprise round (minimum 0).  Also use the level 0 line for anyone besides a Thrall wearing Full Garde.

Me

A bit about me and why I’m doing this blog.

Back in the mid 80’s I read the first 3 books of the Guardians of the Flame Trilogy by Joel Rosenberg and became obsessed with finding a roleplaying game to play.  Then one day my awesome mom brought me home the Mentzer red box and I was hooked for life.  That was 1987.  Since then I’ve played a lot of different RPG’s and have way too many books on my shelves…ask any of my poor friends who have helped me move.

The games that I have spent the most time playing include: Dungeons and Dragons and its various editions and clones (especially Dark Sun, Ravenloft, Midnight and Red Tide), Palladium Fantasy, Warhammer (1^st ed.), Torg, Vampire, Living Steel, Hero System, Talislanta, and Hunter the Reckoning.

This blog will just be a way for me to save notes for my latest obsessions; I have a tendency to never write any of my ideas or game notes down and winging it.  However this can lead to some serious gamer ADD as my brain tends to ramble around.  Hopefully this will let me focus a bit more or at least have some notes to look back on when my attention inevitably circles back to a prior project.

Currently I’m playing in an ADnD Temple of Elemental Evil game, running a modern supernatural horror using Dresden Files RPG and a Talislanta game using Dungeon Crawl Classics.  

 Many of the first posts will deal with this Talislanta DCC.
