GLOG Wuxia Martial Artist Class Template

Well I was planning to do the psychology wizard next but instead I created this template instead. The template should hopefully build Gish classes that are thematically martial rather than arcane. This is largely built around the palette swapped ninja class.

 

A: Qi Dice, Qing Gong, Restriction, Fundamentals of [class], 2 Standard Techniques +1 AC/DR/to hit

B: thing 1, Movement Technique, 2 Standard Techniques, +1 AC/DR/to hit

C: thing 2, Daily Technique, 2 Standard Techniques +1 to AC/DR/to hit

D: Ultimate Technique, 2 Standard Techniques, extra attack

 

Qi Dice:
Whenever you take a template in this class add a 8-sided Qi Dice (QD) to your dice pool. You recover QD after 1 hour of meditation contemplating your martial prowess (change as appropriate to your setting).

 Qing Gong:
As long as you have at least one unspent QD you may divide your movement between moving horizontally as normal and vertically. To move vertically you may run up walls or make a superhuman jump or jumps.
As long as you have three unspent QD you may stand and move on things that could not normally support you as if you were weightless (you are still affected by gravity). E.g. a leaf floating on the water, an opponent’s weapon, falling objects.

Restriction:
Most of your abilities will only work under certain reasonably achieved circumstances.

Fundamentals of [class]:
a moderately strong ability that acts as a thematic core. Does not expend QD.

Thing 1:
some slightly strong ability that uses a QD or a minor ability that does not.

 Movement Technique:
A Qing Gong ability that is thematically tied to the class. Requires 2 QD to be unspent but does not expend them.

Thing 2:
some slightly strong ability that uses a QD or a minor ability that does not.

Daily Technique:
A strong ability that may only be used once per day. Does not expend QD.

 

Ultimate Technique:
A very strong ability, expends QD.

Standard Techniques:
roll these at random, if you get the same technique twice reroll it. Consider using smaller dice sizes and re assigning the numbers after taking a level in the class. Every standard technique expends QD, and functions kind of like a martial spell.Techniques are considered to always be prepared.
