Classes

Classes in Fox Battery are divided into multiple factions based on nationality. Each faction contains three classes and includes two to three unique racial traits.

Ancillia
"The First and Last Holy Nation"

Racial Traits
Children of the First Ones: The Ancillian religion consists of worshiping both the ancestors and the old gods. While theocratic law is no longer as strictly enforced as it once was, the majority of Ancillians remain deeply religious. Ancillians gain 20% to all skills involving old world technology or knowledge, but they also lose 10% to all skills dealing with modern technology.

Divine Intervention: An Ancillian's faith can only be proven in death. Therefore, Ancillians roll their luck whenever they are about to die. If the roll succeeds, then their ancestors notice them, granting them 1d3 health. Every time after that they roll their bass POW until the end of the session.

Queensland
"'They call her a fool upon meeting her, but nobody dares say a word in her presence. Unfortunately for them, the queen hates pretense.'"

Racial Traits
Niflheim: With an army of toys and no one to command them, the Queen of Gears allied with the desperate people of Niflheim, who were once fierce warriors before their old ways of fighting caused Ancillia to declare them dangerous heathens and drive them to the brink of extinction. In exchange for their people's preservation, the youth of Niflheim pledge to bear arms for their oathsworn queen. Heimians gain one stack of rage for every time they kill an enemy or get hit.

52 Pickup: Prior to her alliance with Niflheim, the Queen of Gears could not use her considerable military strength due to her droids' lack of independence and sentience. In effect, her army of droids were puppets in need of a puppeteer. Heimians can control and direct any Queensland droids not already under the control of a higher ranked NPC or player.

Both the Odinguard and the chosen enemy will lose all action points and ability to heal; they also are only able to target one another for the duration of the battle, effectively becoming untargetable for all other opponents. The effect ends when either the Odinguard of their enemy dies; the survivor is healed back to full health.

RT
"Misfits and Monsters from a forgotten time"

Racial Traits
The Price of Freedom: "We can offer you only a hand, but you need to take it. Help us help you. You are a human, a child of an empire built on the corpses of gods. Look to the sky! Look to the clock! Take one moment out of your insignificant life and realize this: you're invincible."

RT bodies were designed so that the enemy may never take them and learn RH's secrets. therefore all RT classes are equipped with a self destruct mechanism the explodes three turns after their deaths dealing 20d6 damage in a two meter radius. Alternatively the RT can detonate the self destruct whenever they wish (the self destruct damage is not able to be parried, dodged, or blocked and ignores the RT's armor but is survivable if the explosions damage happens to not exceed the RTs health in which case this passive is permanently removed from the character.)

The human variable: RT characters religiously believe that no task is too insurmountable to overcome and no task is too simple to fail. Due to that they have a +5% increased chance of critical failure as well as a +5% chance of critical success (a roll of 55 is an automatic critical success).

Robotic: The oldest followers of R.H. have shed their mortality, trading human flesh for steel. An RT character can’t heal naturally over time and instead has to be repaired. This also grants them a bonus in base armor equivalent to one fifth of their SIZ+CON. They can additionally receive a -1d3 to a stat in exchange for an upgrade as well as replacing their legs with the synthetic locomotion upgrade for free, this can and may continue until all stats can only have a value of one. An RT's Power will also equal battery power, due to the half living nature of RTs they only need battery power to perform special abilities.

RT's cannot use magic.

Bully
"“Shoot it! Shoot it! Something has to kill it eventually! Why isn't it bleedi-?!”""- Sergeant Harolds during combat with an RT Bully"Overwhelming Strikes: When attacking in melee, bullies add their base strength to their chances to hit. Bullies' damage bonus cannot be any lower than 1d6.

Stuff of Nightmares: Bullies gain +10 dexterity for agility and dodge rolls. They also start with +10 extra hit points. The bully starts with one criminal tendency

Psycho
"“Do you remember me? No? I guess I got pretty weird, huh? Oh yeah, I do remember when you killed me. Trust me, I do.”""- Fracture Lines, rekindling an old relationship"Massively Redundant: All get a +10 to repair tests made to repair the psycho additionally whenever the psycho hits 0 health on a roll of 1 to 5 or 55 he'll remain alive with 1 hit point

Unfathomably complex: once per game a psycho can roll his luck, if he succeeds then it turns out he’s had a single weapon or extra limb stored away for just such a occasion. He also begins with one obsession.

R’malth, The enlightened empire in the sands

masters of the sky: To move from island to island in the sea of sand the people of R’malth have invented ships, half based off the space faring vessels of the old world and half based after the much less advanced nautical counterparts used today because of this R’mali people don’t treat moving vehicles as difficult terrain, furthermore all R’mali built firearms and vehicles count as one level of quality higher when in their hands.

The tainted east, “Can you hear them, screaming as one across all the land? How were we meant to survive something like that!”
Wendigo: Warzones and densely populated areas were never a good mix this was nowhere as obvious as it was in the east, as disease, famine, and death assaulted the people from without so to was something rotting them within, A much more potent version of the Wendigo curse, made by the demons of old as a weapon against FOX and the humans, a single bite would unlock superhuman abilities and a sort of pseudo-immortality, but it would also come with a unsatisfiable phantom hunger for others of the same species, very few manage to retain their sense of self in the face of this hunger and slowly devolve into beasts, hunting for the next uninfected target. Wendigos do not truly die until all limbs and the head is severed, they also start with the natural weapons mutation

hyper metabolism: A wendigo does not starve but instead eats out of sheer compulsion from it's curse but even so, the curse will use what’s eaten to improve it's host's body atleast until it's burned off. for every corpse of the same species eaten, you gain a hunger token, these may be spent to temporarily add on to a base stat, give temporary health or armor, or even regrow lost limbs. all hunger tokens that are not spent are lost at the end of the session. If no hunger points were gained that session then the wendigo withers, losing 1d3 from a random stat. for every hour after 6 hours since a wendigo has last eaten a member of its species it must roll willpower, if it fails the wendigo must attack and attempt to eat the nearest target of it’s species.

Infectious curse: when a live target is bitten by a wendigo that target must either roll constitution or power to overcome the curse, if this fails then the affected limb must be amputated within 1d10 hours

Wendigo Beastmaster
"“Rip, tear, meat and skin, flesh from bone, put your claws into it!”""-no one bothered asking his name"Beastmaster: When binding animals as familiars it only costs half as much as it usually would. The beastmaster can also start out with one familiar that he could afford for free.

authority over the curse: Familiar’s affected with the Wendigo curse don’t become unbound. He may also use hunger tokens in replacement to mana when binding animals

The brass gate, The first and last line of defense
Masters of defense: The R’mali people born at the edges of the kingdom suffer a very different kind of life, while they may be safe from the sandstorm their are always predators at their border waiting to pick off weak prey, none no this better than those of the brass gate.
