"Have a little class, won't you?"
I want to occupy my next character slot! I've got a ton of different characters I'd love to try, but I'm having a hard time deciding between them! Since there are so many different Nintendo properties to choose from, I figured it'd be easier to narrow down these characters by how they'd play on the forum! I've got two different "classes" I'd love to talk about with you. If you have any strong opinions about them, feel free to let me know! Ideally, I'd like to start working on this character before the weekend rolls around. I set the poll to close at 8:00 PM (CST) on Friday. If you're especially fond of one of the classes, please make sure to get your vote in before then! Feedback is also super appreciated! The more I can get figured out now, the less I'll have to worry about when writing the character themselves!
Class #1: Tactician
Great feats are never accomplished alone. Any fighter worth their salt is going to ask for a spare hand now and again. The tactician is an expert at knowing how to do just that. The tactician knows their party's strengths and appeals to them in combat. Those under the tactician's watchful eye might react faster, strike with precision, and deliver punishing blows.
The tactician begins play with several maneuvers. Each time they go on a mission, they'll prepare a number of maneuvers equal to their WIS modifier. While embarking on a mission, they may only use maneuvers that they've prepared. The fighter has a limited well of leaderly sway - as determined by their CHA modifier. This number determines how many times the Tactician can enact a maneuver per fight. Think of the fighter's Prepared Maneuvers (WIS) as the number of combat scenarios they could train in before the mission starts. Whereas their Command Pool (CHA) is how much air they can shout out of their lungs before passing out. The tactician has a Superiority Die. Some maneuvers will ask them to add the Superiority Die to a fighter's roll. The Superiority Die starts as a d6 but increases in value as the fighter rank ups. Ranks also increase the tactician's total number of maneuvers to choose from.
Example Maneuver: Expose a Weakness - You may use this when you secure a hit on a single target. The next person to target this enemy with an attack may add your Superiority Die to the roll. If the next fighter unleashes an AOE or multi-target attack, the Superiority Die only applies to the targeted individual.
Class #2: Artificer
You're only as good as the equipment you use. If you're going to be scouring Li for the next scientific breakthrough, you'd better have a qualified technician on your team. The artificer's tools are an extension of themselves. The world is their laboratory. They're versatile enough to equip anyone with the gear they need at a moment's notice. Those repping an artificer's tech will notice an increase in the effectiveness of their moves. This might coincide with a dramatic decrease in their opponent's lifespans.
The artificer knows how to invent. These are artificed solutions which can be constructed on the fly. The artificer brings a number of material components with them equal to their INT modifier. These components determine how many inventions the artificer can craft per mission. When an invention is brought to life, the artificer rolls a Ingenuity Die. The Ingenuity Die determines how many rounds of combat an invention will last. It starts as a D4 for Smashlings. Despite the smaller dice value, the fighter always adds their INT modifier to all rolls made with the Ingenuity Die. Think of the fighter's Material Components (INT) as the number of potatoes and 9-volts they were able to scrounge up before the mission started. Whereas their Ingenuity Die (Starts as d4+INT) is how optimally the fighter can use that potato battery to power their phone. The artificer's Ingenuity Die increases in value as the fighter rank ups. Ranks also increase the number of inventions the artificer can craft.
Example Invention: Sword for Flailing in Your General Direction - Augments on of your Light attacks. If this move had ~5 ft. of range, it increases to a minimum of 5 ft. but loses any other ranged properties it might have. Whenever you launch your Light attack, you may launch one additional one per turn. You may only make 3 combo-able attacks on your turn - including the one granted by this invention.
