Dungeon Frost Hell World Part Eight: Factions and Professions P


A long post this time, on the many and varied paths of Paladins and Priests.

Paladin(Req: Any race Paladin)

Initial Move: Holy Champion
When you attack creatures of an antithetical nature to your religion (usually evil creatures or followers of evil religions), gain +1 to Damage rolls.

Move (level 2-5): Disciple (Varies by Religion: See below)

Move (level 6-10): Divine Warrior
When you attack creatures of an antithetical nature to your religion (usually evil creatures or followers of evil religions), roll your damage dice twice and choose the best one.

Priest (Req: Any race Cleric)

Initial Move: Signature Power
One particular spell that is particularly relevant to your religion is considered a rote spell for you. See list below.

Move (level 2-5): Disciple (Varies by Religion: See below)

Move (level 6-10): Holy Aura
Any creature attacking you has to roll its damage dice twice, and always picks the worst result (for it, not you). If it already has to do that for another reason, it’s damage is also halved.

When undertaking a perilous journey, whichever role you choose automatically succeeds as if you rolled a 10+.

Hoenir
You have an encyclopedic knowledge. Whenever you Spout Lore, you can roll 3 dice and choose the best two.

Maera
You can choose wizard spells when picking your spells for the day, but you cast them at -2.

Neorthe
You receive a +2 bonus to any water survival roll, whether when drowning or when thirsty etc.

The Norns
You can read Omens either for yourself or others. Roll 2D6 (no mods) – on a 6-, that person gets -1 carried forward; on 7-9, the Omens are confused or reveal no info. On 10+ the person gets +1 carried forward.
