GrimLewd: Walking Fortress
Added 2023-06-21 13:26:58 +0000 UTCI will start uploading these character pieces to patron. I would like to have a place to expand/explain the image a bit.
First piece taking place in the Imperial Colonies! A lovely place where even tainted humans can find gainful employment!
Imperial Colonies do not technically have a rule of law outside of the excavation sites. You can get away with a lot as long as you don't fuck around with the Empire's supply lines, don't block the roads and don't piss off any magistrates personally.
Tainted, is one of the corruption stages. Bruk Bruk used to be fully human at some point. It goes: [True Human] -> [Human] -> [Tainted] -> [Corrupted] and so on. Havent figured out the other stage names. If there are any.
[Walking fortress]: is a merging of a martial and crafting path. In BB's case it was a [brawler] and [blacksmith]. Upon reaching level 20 with both, they merged and allowed for further growth. I'll make a post about specifics of paths and leveling later.
[Walking Fortress] allows for on the fly creation of armor and weapons. BB can pick up almost any piece of metal and in seconds mold it and slap it on herself to continue beating the shit out of anybody who needs it.
I hope you like some extra lore!

Her feet are so damn cute

2023-06-26 11:29:57 +0000 UTCI'm guessing that's not paint on her armor.

2023-06-22 16:47:15 +0000 UTCWell, she's got a massive draconic tail and clawed feet, so she's probably still a vertebrate, but we left Human behind a while ago...

2023-06-22 16:25:04 +0000 UTCI'm so incredibly excited for this!

2023-06-22 15:38:17 +0000 UTCHow long is that TAIL though. She's amazing :)

2023-06-22 12:31:29 +0000 UTCIn 5e D&D you'd have to be a multiclass Artificer/Forge Cleric... that could work.

2023-06-22 12:28:40 +0000 UTCApparently everyone is allowed a hobby. The happy inquisitor has a couple of tiers of Painter and Winemaker, so it's quite possible that this terrifying walking fortress of doom also makes a decent ratatouille.

2023-06-22 12:26:00 +0000 UTCI am really digging these character designs so far.

2023-06-22 12:18:19 +0000 UTCFucking awesome! Hopefully leads to some awesome fucking!

2023-06-22 08:09:50 +0000 UTCImperial Colonies remind me of the New World Colonies from Warhammer Fantasy, except instead of big lizards and terrible jungles it's corruption and other shenanigans. I imagine many people dread being stationed this far out.

2023-06-22 07:00:16 +0000 UTCDoes that armour come off, or is it attached? And if it does come off, how twisted is "Tainted" underneath?
Wild Bill
2023-06-22 02:02:49 +0000 UTCI love lore, and am looking forward to more of this setting. Are you gonna make a game from this?

2023-06-22 00:46:53 +0000 UTCI love bb and hope we can see them smooching someone ^.^

2023-06-21 23:27:04 +0000 UTCI am so excited about this story arc, storyline. It's so cool!!

2023-06-21 21:11:23 +0000 UTCI'm a bit worried about what the cook levels mean for this character
Genericuser
2023-06-21 20:40:01 +0000 UTCOoo. This is super cool. So if you get two classes to level 20 do they automatically fuse or is it a choice one has to make to reach higher levels but having to accept the corruption to reach those higher levels?

2023-06-21 17:25:51 +0000 UTCCant wait for 3 years from now when you release the 5th edition/pathfinder supplement with all this in it for me to run games with at home.

2023-06-21 16:23:34 +0000 UTCThat is a scary idea. Fighter who can make their own armor... Sheesh
Daniel Lee
2023-06-21 16:19:46 +0000 UTCWalking fortress sounds like an awesome class to play
WarriorMan
2023-06-21 15:59:42 +0000 UTCOoooohhh compound classes?! This setting gets better and better ๐คฉ
Thaldor
2023-06-21 15:45:04 +0000 UTCYou are absolutely crushing it with the armor designs here :D

2023-06-21 15:44:45 +0000 UTC"To shreds, you say?..."
Stephen Wells
2023-06-21 15:03:21 +0000 UTCI love learning about the mechanics of leveling, so excited to learn more!
MMilcz
2023-06-21 14:24:57 +0000 UTCI love BB already. I hope they find that presumably-curious runaway, and he is very curious, indeed!
Krys McGuire
2023-06-21 14:04:28 +0000 UTCMaybe the next stages are Inhuman - Monster - Horror - True Horror?
Dani Jones
2023-06-21 13:53:16 +0000 UTCLoving all the GrimLewd stuff. Even the name is starting to grow on me.

2023-06-21 13:45:51 +0000 UTCOooh I like [unravelled] as a last stage! suggesting total decoupling from humanity. I shall steal that one
InCase
2023-06-21 13:42:11 +0000 UTCNaming development stages is always fun! Some random ideas to consider or not consider: abased/debased (maybe an early stage?), scoured (forcefully de-corrupted?), unravelled (no longer humanoid/meat fungus).
Atashkada
2023-06-21 13:40:55 +0000 UTCShe totally ends up as a dragon eventually, doesn't she? ...presumably Walking Fortress has a non-metallic equivalent path, Brick Shithouse.
Stephen Wells
2023-06-21 13:37:23 +0000 UTCI like the mechanic of leveling two separate paths to merge then into a new one. That's a pretty cool idea to suddenly drive character development
Marshall Trout
2023-06-21 13:36:32 +0000 UTCLove Bruk Bruk already
Tojoko
2023-06-21 13:36:03 +0000 UTCYes! More aberrant humanoids please. โจ๐โจ
