Dwarf Lords Missions

So doing tables for my main non-humans now which seemed about time 

Demihuman patrons or quests are pretty common

In my setting, dwarves dislike humans for thriving technology 
They have had terrible fights with everyone but halflings and humans but think one might happen with humans. Resentful gods favour humans now

d12 Quick Dwarf Types
1 Stone bearded are grubby cliff dwarfs who live in caves, naked and work stone weapons
2 Red bearded tree lovers who live in forests under trees and work bronze and freely deal with fey folk, animal and tree spirits
3 Black bearded iron lovers who wage eternal warfare for spite even against each other
4 White bearded who prefer winter lands and otherwise hide underground
6 Electrum beards who love to trade and travel and make money to live well
6 Gold beards are master craftsmen, alchemists and holy people always serious
7 Silver beards are concerned with magic craft and spells
8  Grey beards lived on the surface among humans too long and tend to share material culture and lifestyle with local people and consider them kindred. They also are more likely to be loners, live with other species and to wander. Most likely to learn exotic magic

9 Blue beards are cannibalistic morlocks who live in the deep and are blind, they come to the surface to trap humans or faeries for cattle. Also good with mechanical automatons
10 Fire beards live in the fiery deeps and ride salamander as slaves, they sometimes appear at volcanic locations and enjoy destruction. They wear asbestos cloaks and wield obsidian weapons. Even their hours are asbestos which comes from salamander scales
11 Wild beards live in great jungles, deserts and plains far away. Hunting and weaving great traps, thorn mazes and treetop towns are their specialities. They use lots of distinct exotic weapons made with stone and woven parts to hunt dinosaurs 
12 Weird beards are chaos dwarves dedicated to death and corruption and the painful end of the world

note i was not in love with this and thought that as dwarves variations don't have magic involved maybe a dwarf subclasses might be more career types or castes of a single dwarf civilisation rather than lots of types but maybe a mix.

d12 Security Organisations for Strange Stars Phase One

You could make several of these organisations active to make investigations harder

1 Venusian Bank Bureau of Investigation: CREDO  - VBBI is an organisation created to secure the financial interests of the Venus Orbital corporate clans. Banking AI has noted unusual behaviours in their human subjects and determined they are a threat to the value of the Venus Coin currency system. After tracking suspicious persons the scale of strange cults has been uncovered. Now the CREDO branch specialises in cult influence on markets and uses Venusian currency. They are not interested in claims about supernatural or alien phenomena but more in the embarrassing criminal possibilities who don't want their currency more regulated. It is directed by the AI unit NAMTAR in the VBBI orbital around Venus. Agents are infamously lazy, sleazy and vice-loving

2 Venus Defence Force: Operation Perseus - VDF had some run-ins with cults in orbitals and sabotaging naval facilities. A cult had infiltrated the millitary and was growing. Security AI named KUSU was addressed to head Operation Perseus to search and destroy militant cults. With numerous frigate-based teams investigating cult activity aimed at armed forces personnel or equipment. They have sloppily massacred a station with inadequate evidence and are touchy about it convinced they did right. Willing to bring force to bear but currently in doubt and hesitant

3 Terran Colonial Corp: Special Identities Division  - organisation managing prep for colonists to be positioned in waiting lists for future slower-than-light spacecraft set to start departing in ten years. The TCP  created the Special Identities Division to pursue organisations bent on cheating the selection system. First were just corruption and crime but then several secretive cults were found to be behind some operations trying to get a whole cult organisation on a colony module. Many of the outer system colonies are already isolationist and distinct. Some follow pre-modern nationalism or beliefs. Many belters feel they deserve more places for all their work in mining and construction. These mundane groups require special identification confirming protocols and tracking. The new stranger cults have become a new threat. The Special Identities DIvision has its own new orbital station and several frigates. They seem easy-going and polite and utilise robots and drones rather than take personal risks. Currently, the AI unit ENLIL operates the division and will eventually report targets to other law bodies preferring to be anonymous 

4 Terran Transit Authority: Advanced Tactical Security Division  - TTA operates inner system transit and occasionally intervenes in the outer system. Surprisingly advanced interceptors with lasers secure certain goods. It discovered attempts to hijack its infrastructure and now takes cults as a serious threat. They set up the Advanced Tactical Security Division to investigate the cult. Headed by AI unit ANUBIS the former crime unit was repurposed to secretly target cults abusing the transit networks from Mercury to Mars. They are still adapting to this role and developing protocols having most recently lost many undercover agents to cults and some who even joined the targets of the investigation. They have several fast patrol frigates with lasers. They still think of cults as deranged criminals evading legitimate transit documentation. From their dealings with crime, they seem weary and tired and are currently confused by their new direction

5 Terran Computational Chambers: Department of Alterations - the TCC directly works carrying out the orders of the computer council of Terra. One of the most secretive complexes in the solar system with vast fortified data vaults. Alterations operatives are under the direction of ORION and are sent on missions to make situations more fortuitous for Terra. They get the best tech, the best bio mods and the best ships, the Hornet Advanced Interceptor Scout. All are also legally deceased when enter service. Mostly nobody knows what they do and they don't leave evidence. They do leave bodies, mindwipe victims and kidnappings to solve problems. It is assumed they are rare or even fictional by most people who never come across them. Sometimes they have been blamed for the disappearances of witnesses and corpses of cultists. A separate organisation helps cover up after the Repairers of Reputations

6 Institute of Selenite Sciences: Anti-Science Ideology Unit - Luna is dedicated to the colony ship program and progress in the sciences. The ISS has noted unscientific attitudes growing in the outer system and began trying to contact some of these colonies to help them overcome their self-imposed isolation. They discovered the wild world of cults in the outer system and were deemed a threat to progress. Anti-scientific ideologies were also attempting to infiltrate colony ship waiting lists. The ISS currently investigate any cults and watch them for links to other groups or crime. The ISS is based at Tycho Crater and has its own university and museum. It also has links to colony generation ship program experts on hypothetical alien life and contact protocol. If they have reason to believe any criminal biological sciences the ISS have access to very efficient science support. AI director THOTH operates the Anti-Science Ideology Unit. It does consider the possibility a cult could find signs of non-Terran life and hide it for themselves. Cult interest in bioweapons, cloning, artificial life forms, and modifying their communities into variant humans are the main concerns considered likely to intervene in    

7 Bank of Mars Regulatory Authority: Special Cult Unit - BMRA protects the interests of the standard system currency based on the Martian stock exchange where supercomputers manage the wealth of the system. Currency exchanges are all recorded on Mars Banking computers and all transactions require a reply from Mars to be finalised. This gets slow in the outer system but it is safe, stable and the approved form of marketplace in the system. The Regulatory Authority operate its own millitary frigates and a HiG rapid response force to help protect their currency from crime, piracy, fee avoidance and trying to scam the time lag of transactions. The BMRA monitor crime, piracy, smuggling and economic terrorism against Martian economic hegemony. In recent years miracle-based cults have been singled out as a separate cause for investigation by the Special Cult Unit under the Direction of the AI unit NERGAL. Mostly because of their security risk and infiltration of institutions and current investigations of the many thousands of outer system outposts, habitats and colonies. Mostly the cults turn out to have various criminal operations they can be imprisoned for and unusual claims of cults are not seriously taken 

8 Martian Defence Organisation: Project Monolith - The MDO operated most naval bases and official millitary ships made to fight piracy but also to intervene in outer system colony conflicts. The Martian Security Department MarSec or MSD runs secret operations and information gathering. They in turn created Project Monolith. HORUS the departmental AI finds more and more cults moving into the territory of crime and corruption. Cults were strange and not motivated by profit or logic. Project Monolith is an operation to study and infiltrate cults to study them and report on their activity. Agents are given rigorous mental conditioning. Operating from Deimos with its own frigate and merchant ships directly under HORUS. So far they mostly study cults without intervening. They may act through regular law enforcement for final arrests, preferring to sit back, watch and tap other organisations. Agents are cold and ruthless. If something is a threat they may capture it if useful or destroy it 

9 Belter Free Trade League: Lone Star One - the BFTL supports independent operators against Martian Credit or Venus Coin preferring barter for goods. Supports belter rights vs. inner world oppression. The league when working to unite the belt contacted many isolated cult colonies and it was revealed how many dangerous groups existed more extreme than the Belt Liberation Army or the Belt Liberation Front or the Belt liberation League. The Free Trade League started Lone Star One to study the comings and goings of cults to see if they were up to anything harmful. One case led to a rogue coalition of colonies sending fighting ships and clone troopers to wipe out neighbouring colonies. This small war was the largest ship-to-ship battle recorded and all started with a cult in a Belter-operated Jovian orbital. Lone Star Rangers track travelling extremists and report their movements and contacts. Rangers are scruffy and use standard belter prospector ships. Other organisations dislike them and don't believe they are legitimate governments. Rangers are believed to have killed some cult troublemakers and used torture. They operate the ORACLE a council of older AI some on permanent parole for past errors and misdeeds. The council is meant to make a more reliable output 

10 Sol Security Federation: Special Investigation & Research Unit - SSF or SolSec is a weak body that mostly meets to discuss system jurisdiction interests and coordinates anti-piracy. It had no ships until recently and was mostly a data-sharing and legal policy organisation based in orbit around Venus with the Venus Defence Force. In recent years the long reach of cult infiltration has made the SSF deploy a Special Investigation & Research Unit. The unit has one frigate for its system investigations and operates under the auspice of the AI named NISHUBAR. The organisation is fresh, dedicated and willing to work with local jurisdictions or other organisations. So far they have been following currency trails and looking at the various Belter colonies. Other organisations don't take them too seriously but may use them for inter-jurisdiction negotiations and aid. They are mostly interested in cult corruption in multiple jurisdictions that other agencies struggle with. They may aid and support other organisations with their limited agent resources but they have bigger data-crunching power than they would seem to for a small agency

11 Jovian Free Trade Commission: Anomaly Comision - The JFTC are a weak free trade organisation trying to organise markets within the Jovian system in hopes of becoming the local stock exchange which Mars and Venus don't support. They discovered that as a hub of trade, they had become a popular place for cults, especially Midas station. The organisation lacks millitary ships and weapons but has been investigating financial and criminal cult links. They believe by keeping themselves regulated they can gain independence and won't need the Martian Navy to control piracy. The Anomaly Commission has its own new model AI from Terra ALFRED making it surprisingly competent and connected for what it does. Agents are plainclothed and wear sidearms but call local security or Martian millitary for help. Agents come from all over the system and are selected personally by the AI. They may grow into something bigger yet other powers are keeping them ineffective

12 Kaiper Independence Legion: Cryptic Investigation Unit - KIL is a military force made by members to help fight piracy and stop regional conflict. It is mostly made up of belters and colonies of extremists who all pay upkeep to KIL to be left alone by Inners. It has minimised local conflict and pirates and in the process, it has been infiltrated by several cults who fight for control. Aware other agencies are investigating cults this one is there to help confuse matters, snatch interesting goods and recruit more cultists. In public, they have rounded up some petty copycat cults considered mostly harmless by AI. The Cryptic Investigation Unit operate some older AI of questionable sanity ARIOCH, BALOR, and XIOMBARG for data processing. All units were responsible for the slaughter of humans when the machines took over. They are officially decommissioned and just used for research. The cults inside these organisations will independently deploy their own killers, automatons, traps and creatures and sometimes struggle to keep control. There are still honest agents who believe in colony privacy and independence 

d100 Misions for monks, mystics and martial artists

In my game, my monks are an unarmoured fighting class that can specialise in one form of combat and gets lots of skill slots. So i can reskin as kensai/sword saints, unarmed mastery, duelists and others dedicated to martial skills. Because anyone can get oaths and spells from alignment fanaticism in my game you could make a more magical or holy or psionic type monk or just stick to being awesome over one weapon and combat. The more duelist type martial artist might use thief or warrior tables.

d100 Sorcerers Cult Missions

As I add these and work on my homebrew revision I will just point out that my sorcerers can pick any spell list on creation and I will probably use it for my non-adventuring cleric/templar priests. I will also add or rather put back a second slower spell progression table for clerics, bards, elves etc. Witchcraft is unlawful spell casting, but sorcerers are probably more prone to cults and calling themselves witches in my game. If you not sanctioned by the church what are you? You are probably a witch.

Arcane sorcerers much like wizards just lazy and talented preferring hedonistic cults
Divine sorcerers channel miracles and are a saint-like cult and church agents
Nature sorcerers channel earth powers and serve in rural rustic cults
Mentalist sorcerers channel mind powers and often gather personality cults
You could use priest or other tables for legitimate church casters 

So in my game sorcerers can pick any one spell list and I'm currently doing some tweaks for class balance making sorcerers slightly better. I use the divine ones as rank and file non war priesthood who channel miracles that are talented at rather than choose their prayer armaments like cleric-priest-templars do. Monks are a working administrative and fighting order without magic.

d12 Common Sorcerer Types
1 Prophet of a legitimate church attuned to a saint - divine magic with holy components

2 Rune Master a barbarian wise one attuned to powers of the runes - divine magic with Text components

3 Sage wise one philosopher hermit attuned to great spirit powers - divine magic with animal components that draw on animal power

4 Fey Walker are attuned to a faerie power and will aid other minions. Many are close to plants and spirit folk - nature magic 

5 Seer of a nature cult attuned to some natural power or even faeries or elemental powers - nature magic with herbal components

6 Diabolist (devil magic) or Demonologist (demon magic) linked to a wicked planar master- arcane with ichor components

7 Elementalists (fire walker, earth walker, water walker, air walker) are attuned to an elemental power - arcane with alchemical components

8 Mystic are attuned to powers and minds from beyond our reality - mentalism with crystals or geometry texts for componants

 crystal components or 9 Dream Walkers are attuned to a power of the dreamlands or nightmare realm who specialise in entering the dreams of others to manipulate them - mentalism with narcotic components

10 Witch cultists are in a coven of similar powers whose practice is deemed criminal by law - any type of magic list but prefer fetish components

11 Dragon Walkers are reptilian magicians attuned to draconic and reptilian gods of old - arcane mostly but any possible with blood components for evil and treasure components eaten for good and use reptilian shedding, scales and body products of dragons for neutrals 

12 Death Walkers attuned to powers of death, night and underworld - use any magic list favouring killing spells and use animal components or if evil use souls

d12 Common Component Types
1 Holy - use a blessed holy symbol or a drop of holy water or oil per divine spell level (100 drops a bottle)
2 Alchemical - mineral materials as used by alchemists can be purchased or mined
3 Herbal - common herbs can be gathered d4 doses per day uncommon are per week or can be purchased
4 Animal - rare and exotic creatures' parts like horn, tusk, hair, feathers, scales, glands or teeth, scales or teeth. Often powdered or turned to ash and eaten. May swap for bones at any time but its forever 
5 Text - words of power written on scrolls or ribbons that burn or clay tablets that break when used. Might be sacred words from tablets of destiny or ancient stones. Some instead inscribe fine paper with calligraphy which is consumed in casting. Other materials to write in in a pinch could be used if desperate
6 Fetish - small hand-crafted figure or symbols more labour and material cost for higher levels. Users often like to make automatons and constructs as guardians
7 Ichor - blood from demons, devils and daemons 1 drop per level. bottle per HD. Can be milked from an imp or larvae in a week without harm if fed on mortal blood. Ichor in use smells of sulphur
8 Treasure - gold, gems, jewellery, and pearls can all be sacrificed as components by eating them
9 Blood - drops of blood 1HP per level from self or others popular with trolls and evil. Blood feeds spirits and are always hungry
10 Narcotic - take drugs while casting and get high for spell preparation often prone to visions
11 Bones - a dried skeleton has a d3+1 level worth of bones from a person or animal. A fresh body with marrow-filled bones has double the amount of material. Carry a hatchet and a sack

12 Souls - a bottle of distilled human should also be good for bribing evil beings, 10 sips per bottle a sip per level. A skill taught by blaspheming demons or devil tutors in the black library where students get free tuition fees for training in wicked magic. Ritually murder a dying person in pain and a skill roll to harvest a bottle of soul fluid. Evil beings love it
