Daily Punch 3-8-18 Bleeder hindrance for Savage Worlds

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

One last SW idea for a bit.

 

Wanted (Minor or Major)
You bleed…a lot.  Maybe its a week constitution, heck maybe your a hemophiliac.  Who know, but when you get hurt, you REALLY get hurt.
As a minor hindrance, when you are hit with an attack add a 1d2 to the damage roll to see if it beats your toughness.  As a major hindrance, add a 1d4 to the damage roll.  If you are wounded, you bleed much more than normal when hurt, so all tracking you gain a +2 bonus if they use the blood to find you.

I have players fighting a dragon now.  Some of them want this ability…

 

Redouble Courage

You can shake off the hardest frights in a moment.

Benefit: When you are subject to a Fear effect or the  frightened or shaken condition because you failed a saving throw, you can reroll that saving throw.  You must use the second result, even if it is lower.  If you fail the second saving throw, you cannot use this feat for 24 hours.  If you succeed, you may continue to use this feat until you fail a saving throw.

Daily Punch 2-26-17 Flatfooted hindrance for Savage Worlds

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Jumping back into things!  Here is a one that came up at the table for Savage Worlds!

 

Flatfooted [minor or major]

You are slow on the draw.  A minor flatfooted character’s initiative is one number lower that indicated on his or her card.  If this would put a character at one initiative, they must make an agility check or be stunned.  If the character is already stunned and fails the check, they take one nonlethal damage.

A major flatfooted character’s initiative is reduced by one number and one suit.  If the character draws a club, an agility check or be stunned.  If the character is already stunned and fails the roll, they take one nonlethal damage. If this would put a character at one initiative, they must make an agility check or be stunned.  If the character is already stunned and fails the check, they take one nonlethal damage.  A character can be subjected to both these effects with a major hindrance.
