Notes For Post Apoc Game Start pt3 Weirder Classes



I have no idea what the above says sorry. I thought it was futuristic.

More quick builds for my game.

I will leave halflings and changelings and gnomes for now till I have a clear idea of

I need to write up the robot again and add more apps and alphabetical....
-explain moving and power limits and stuff better and more apps
-then do golem version with sigils or something and built-in repeating crossbows
Swim bladder/ballast tanks so you can swim
Mutant is very simple really and fine
Need to rewrite my psion list again asap

will be updating this and the last post as needed
-i may add several more classes or just do part 4
-i just want concepts solid before I do them

Gnomes as greys with psionic spells?

Never found a great fit for halflings post apoc but my recent reskins might - even just as beastlings, wee pissweak looking Animorphs. Cannibalism is always a good option but I just want a better rationalisation for them. I did have them as cloned for bunker dwellings and confined underground spaces where less size = more luxury and comfort. Perhaps something like the Novel Non-Stop, halflings returned from the stars too. I dunno

Maybe changelings could be more like The Thing from John Carpenter or as dominator secret psychic infiltrators or pod plant people or liquid metal terminators

Eldren
Star people returned from space
Before the end times, humans reached for the stars making Eldren colonise the stars. Many left and settled Mars, Luna and various jovian moons and some went further. Sometimes they return from their voyages. Others lived in orbitals and visit the surface. A few dwelled in secret underhill bunkers and shunned the outer world. Some went feral and live in the wilds. Some were used as cattle by Morlocks and were farmed as Eloi and drugged to repress their powers. Seen as beautiful and aloof, many fear them or resent them for surviving the apocalypse unscathed. Others fear the eldren agenda or more coming down.

Morlock
Cannibalistic mutant dwarves of the deeps
Some humans went to the stars others living in deep bunkers and old mines and caves were contaminated but this saved them by allowing them to adapt. Shorter, white-eyed, durable and mechanically proficient they thrived and spread underground taking over bunkers and ruins and using them as bases to kidnap humanoid cattle and slaves. Mistaken often as dangerous beasts they thrive everywhere despite this and are often more advanced. Some Morlocks have come to the surface and lived among mixed communities and no longer want to eat everybody

Abhuman - based on human creations of science & mutation
During the end times, there were massive shortages of labour and troops and the pseudo flesh androids had revolted so animorphic abhumans were made to relieve this shortage. Many survived and many new types were spawned by AI in zoo complexes for various shadowy reasons. Animorphs sometimes split over herbivore vs carnivore or reptiles vs mammals but they will often unite against humans. Some have due to mutation changed to be more or less animal. There were said to be other humanoids made for war or exploring alien worlds but the last most significant type is necroids modified by alien necrovirus into semi undead. Abhumans get level benefits at higher benefits as their abhumanism develops.

Mutant - survivors of mutagenic weapons
During the apocalypse, those not enhanced by stabilisation treatments the current ancestors of humans did, were vulnerable to all kinds of mutations. Mutants undergo constant change and can become unrecognisable after a few years. They can survive what makes ordinary people devolve into cancerous lumps. Mutants are often treated poorly and are resentful and suspicious of humans. Many live in shantytowns outside trading posts and many prospects in contaminated zones. There are lots of types of mutation the tables below are simplified quick ones.

Robot - ancient automatons become sentient over centuries
Robots were common at the end times but after a spate of robot hacking terror attacks androids came to take some of their jobs. In the current era robots in the wild can be operating old programs or insane but many have managed to survive. Some serve AI gods and are accepted as such. Some scavengers attack robots for scrap. Robots add new apps to themselves as they rebuild themselves. Some remember where all parts came from.
