Notes For Post Apoc Game Start pt2 Basic Classes

 

So these are post apoc versions of my basic classes modified for this game.
Next nonhumans (I might use less) plus mutant and robot.
I find these help to be a good quickstart for new players and late players or quick replacement characters. They can be changes they are a guideline of a character for speed and learnificating not rules. I gave fewer options in some. Also need to prep and rewrite my psionics spells too and doing this fixed a few bugs in skills and spells. Got a bunch of blank sheets to mess with too.

Programer 
Priests of the ancient machine gods

Post-apocalyptic priests who operate temples of the ancient computer systems. Many global and local systems exist, some good and some evil. Many AI overlords use agents to meddle in humanity's affairs and impose their strange codes of conduct. Priests have an implant that they use to channel their god's power usually on their palm or forehead if public (or hidden on buttocks or belly button if a secretive cult). This acts as their holy symbol and proof to other worshipers who have the same and is used to cast spells nd use holy powers or enter a temple inner sanctum.

Cyber-Mage
Wizards who hack occult powers from beyond

Post-apocalyptic wizards manipulate the worldwide teleportation array and other systems to do their bidding. Having brain implants that tap into these networks they run spell programs they upload and the process of casting them scrubs the spell data from memories requiring the be uploaded again usually from the wizard's tablet or other media such as floppy discs or ROM cartridges.

Naturalist
Holy druidic healing the wasteland and mutant ecology

Wanderer
Travelling savants, masters of martial arts 

These are loners wandering the wastes but somehow get mixed up in local problems and conflicts. Some end up spies, pit fighters, bodyguards and duelists yet they are also able scholars or anything they set their mind too. Most just want to be alone to study and train. Some study in secret schools, dojos and monasteries if a master accepts them. By serving these secret masters they may gain more implants and gain supernatural seeming powers. Many shun violence but others just live to fight.

Psion
Sorcerous masters of mysterious mentalism

These wasteland sorcerers have been implanted with strange psionic implants that let them tap into the powers of the various AI gods that control every aspect of reality. Unlike wizards, they don't forget spells but can channel energy through the implants that grow within them. As they don't require the brain-frying discipline of wizards they tend to be more lazy, self-indulgent and prone to starting personality cults or scams to rip off communities or both. In between living lives of vice, they often end up broke and on the move. Some prefer to keep moving and never look back.
