Occultronics: Four Perfections (GLOG Fighter, Arise Ye Wretched)

These classes were invented for A Bright Place in the Sky, a setting that the inimitable Locheil (of The Nothic's Eye fame) and I began to work on in collaboration about half a year or so ago. The initial basic prompt was Sengoku period Japan meets Mughal India, but as we kept poking at it the scope of inspiration has expanded somewhat.| Occultronics

Ya bitch does old-school D&D stuff. Mostly working on a "hard science-fantasy" outer space setting, I'll probably also occasionally post B/X compatible stuff about dwarves, elves, and hobbits. whatever the hell I want.| occultronics.blogspot.com
It may no longer be Glåugust, but it's never too late to jump on a bandwagon. This is "adapt a setting-specific class to your setting," and in the spirit of the inimitable Deus ex Parabola, who jumped on his bandwagon years before Glåugust ever even began, I am adapting Loch's Sacred One for the Hex.| Occultronics
Wandering investigator and instigator of the Black Coil, the great helical library that penetrates Heaven and Hex, tasked with the quixotic task of making the universe comprehensible. Your order possesses great esteem and influence in the downbelow regions of the Hex. | Occultronics
In elder days, two great empires vied for command of the realm of dreams - mighty Old Sybilline and High Isshin-Daga. That they were separated by the entire bulk of the Interdark, on opposite sides of the world-plane, was of no consequence. | Occultronics
False Medusa is a somewhat insulting appellation to distinguish them from the "True Medusa" of Qabalque legend. They have no singular language or endonym (some include: Kuo-Toa, Sahuagin, Trithoni, and Locathah), though recently there has been the formation of a nascent political group identity under the banner of the Ocean People, in solidarity with various other aquatic humanoids. | Occultronics
The previous post contained lies - or perhaps this one does. Conjuration was not merely split into Dislocation and Goety—it was, in fact, the Ur-School, singular in its power and purpose, and subjected to a sevenfold split to create the modern categories of Gnosticism.| Occultronics

This is the season of not letting the Perfect be the enemy of the Good. Nearly two full years ago I wrote this variant on the Sword-Saint as a magic school, in the standard GLOG format. I never ended up posting it for reasons that I can't quite remember, but it was a perfectly serviceable piece of work, so here it is now.| Occultronics
You are first and foremost a scribe. Before teaching you the bow and the gun, the sword and the knife and the hunting spear, medicine and woodcraft, the secret ways to smell and hear and taste, before any of those things, your master taught you to write. You crouch in the hollows of thorny black woods, listening to the terrorbirds screech and the stirges buzz, and scribble down your observations with ink-stained fingers. You analyze, dissect, and taxonomize, in service of your God, your king,...| Occultronics
In the "OSR" space and related environments, social skill rolls are generally viewed with distaste. This isn't without reason—resorting to simple d20 skill rolls to resolve all social interactions is stultifying, and verbal conversation is one of the few in-game activities where the events of the fiction and the actual experience of play can align near-perfectly. I'm generally in agreement with this orthodoxy, but I don't think it's fully accurate.| Occultronics

Notes: | Occultronics
A sword is a kind of spiritual poison—why do you think clerics spurn them? To cut with a sword is to profane the laws of man and God alike. Pity those sainted few who drink too deeply of its venom, for they shall soon forget how to be human.| Occultronics
I haven't touched this blog in a year. This has no relation to Ava Islam's OSR game, Errant.| Occultronics
