The Court of the Ashen Prince

First, get Mothership here.

Then destroy it because you're addicted to the hack.




The Lord Sovereign of Calderas is dead, being succeeded by the Ashen Prince.

The new ruler of Calderas is an ambitious and ruthless young man, driven by lust for power and flesh. Those who denounce him publicly are executed without a second thought. Those who submit to him are humiliated. The only winner of the dance of deals and knives in the dark is the Prince himself.

How will you dance to this hedonistic tune?

Character Creation

For the most part, this hack is compatible with Mothership stuff, so if you really want to add guns to the Calderan Court, go ahead. I'll leave Skills to the Warden's better judgement because I really don't want to make a skill list right now.

Classes

Warrior

  • +5% Strength, +5% Combat
  • Sanity 30% Fear 30% Body 35% Armor 40%
  • Whenever a Warrior Panics, every friendly player nearby must make a Fear save.
  • Military Training, +3 Points.

Rogue

  • +5% Speed, +5% Intellect
  • Sanity 30% Fear 30% Body 35% Armor 35%
  • Whenever a Rogue fails a Fear save, every friendly player nearby gains 1 Stress.

Mage

  • +10% Intellect
  • Sanity 20% Fear 40% Body 30% Armor 30%
  • Sanity saves made in the presence of Mages have disadvantage. (Does not apply to Mages.)
  • Pick Two: Linguistics, Biology, Geology, Art, Archaeology, Theology. +3 Points.

Loadout

Instead of standard Loadouts, you have a Pack (Value 3, Exhaust 30%). With each use of the pack, roll d%, and if it's lower than the Exhaust value, subtract 1 from the value of the Pack. Packs cannot give you weapons, only non-martial, mundane items. In addition, you have a sword (Vibechete), a staff (Crowbar), or a knife (Scalpel).

Here are some armor benefits:
Light Armor +5% Armor
Medium Armor: +7% Armor
Heavy Armor: +9% Armor
Shield: +3% Armor

Setting Material

Enemies

Because I want combat to be over quickly, I will use the rules that I think are in playtesting right now. Then again, this is a mostly social scenario.

The Ashen Prince
