Went back and forth on exactly how I was going to do this, and finally landed on a story idea that came out of all that thinking. This involves quite a bit of game mechanics around crafting extraordinary items, which I’ll list the various items crafted here as well.
Progressed the character from Level 1 to Level 9, and there are story elements to explain the feats (especially alt form, which she doesn’t start out with).
#Felicity the Bunny
Felicity is a youthful girl with a cheerful outlook on life. She likes exploring and being creative. She can be Naive and is very Honest with people around her, possibly too much so.
People have often noticed that she can be quite Lucky at times, but everyone has seen that she is a very good Artisan at Blacksmithing. She is very eager to learn, and has a natural knack for figuring things out. She has earned a bit of Wealth for herself.
The reason she is called “the Bunny” is because of the bunny ears headband she is always seen to be wearing (or in some settings, she could have actual bunny ears). Often her clothing depicts bunnies playing or in the fields.
Although she has a natural inclination towards Creation, she has another part she hides away. She isn’t sure where it comes from, but it isn’t as happy. It almost seems to cause a lot of Entropy if she focuses on it too much.
##The Beginning
At level 1, she has:
Attributes
5 Creation
5 Entropy
3 Logic
Feats
Wealthy
Craft Extraordinary Item I
Perks
Artisan & Lucky
Flaws
Naive & Honest
Her creative nature, and a little bit of influence from this Entropic source, she crafted a beautiful set of Armor (far too heavy for her to wear), and a very unique Long Spear. She added a mechanism so that the spear could actually extend out during its thrust.
###Artisan Perk: Craft up to WL 2 items
Extending Spear
Two-Handed, Close Ranged (throwing), Forceful
Area (Line 1), Reach, Slow
Cost = 1 + 1 [Area (Line 1)] + 1 [Reach] - 1 [Slow] = 2 WL
Heavy Armor
WL 2, as already in the wealth & equipment section
After crafting these, she decided to make them even more interesting, and spent several days focusing on each one.
Black Death Spear
Weapon (Extending Spear), Deadly 1, Damage (Entropy)
The blade is so finely sharpened, one shutters by just bringing it close to their skin. It gleams an ebony color, and sometimes, one might swear they could see black smoke around it
It grants a total of Advantage 2 (1 from deadly, 1 from 2-handed), and can deal either Forceful or Entropy damage.
Cost = 0 (Weapon) + 3 (Deadly 1) + 0 (Damage) = 3 WL
Black Blood Armor
Armor (Breastplate, Heavy), Life Drain (5)
Wanting to create something that can aid the wearer, she focused the energies to allow the armor to grant the user Life Drain even if they do not normally have the ability to do so
Wearer can use the armor to invoke Life Drain (with attribute 5 [2d6], needing CR 20).
Cost = 0 (Armor) + 2 (Bane @ 5) = 2 WL
##Stage 2
Felicity decided to go out, testing her weapon. She couldn’t wear the armor, she wasn’t nearly strong enough. Maybe she found some people to go on an adventure with. She could do quite a lot with her Creation, and help to buff up her friends (b/c as soon as she met them they were her friends). Maybe one of them could wear her armor even!
Strange things happened, though, upon using and testing out her spear. She started to unravel a connection with someone else from an unknown place.
Of course, being naturally curious, she wanted to make friends and find out who it was. Turned it it was a girl, and her name was Helga, and she called herself a “Wrecking Ball”. It was so cool, and Helga was really big. Maybe Felicity could make her some equipment to use.
Somehow, Felicity could bring Helga into this world. It was strange the first time, Felicity was standing there, focusing, and then there was a big POP and a sucking noise as she vanished then a THUNDERING BOOM as the massive 10 foot tall, red skinned Helga appeared in her place.
Helga was weak at first, but the more they did this, the more she grew accustomed to this place.
###Level 2
Felicity gains Alternate Form I and Helga (at half attribute points and only 3 feat points).
At level 2, Helga has:
Attributes
5 Might
3 Fortitude
2 Agility
Feats
Multi-Attack Specialist I
Perks
Brute & Courageous
Flaws
Bloodlust & Vengeful
Wearing the armor Bunny (that’s what she calls Felicity) made her, and utilizing the spear, she can be quite impressive in battle.
Main Attack
Reach 15’ (10’ as large creature + 5’ from Reach)
Attack Max Range = 25’ (Line attack is 5 wide x 10 long x 10 high)
Max Targets hitable = 4 (if some are flying overhead, but normally 2)
2 Attacks at no Advantage/Disadvantage (3 Disadvantage for multi-attack, -1 form skill, -1 from two-handed, -1 from Deadly)
Secondary Attacks
Always ready to:
Stun
Fear
Demoralize
Immobile
Knockdown
##Stage 3
Helga has grown stronger in this world, now with full attribute points for her level, and missing only 3 feat points from Alt Form II. She uses her Prescience to have Truesight around her and see things for what they are.
At level 3, Helga has:
Attributes
6 Might (& Will)
5 Prescience
4 Agility
3 Fortitude
Feats
Multi-Attack Specialist I
Attribute Substitution I (Might > Will)
Battle Trance
Perks
Brute & Courageous
Flaws
Bloodlust & Vengeful
HP 32
Guard 23
Toughness 19
Resolve 18
Fighting with a ferocious Battle Trance when needed, she usually has Life Drain from Bunny’s armor up.
##Stage 4
With more experience out in the world, Felicity has really improved her ability to craft as well as making more Wealth for herself and Helga. With this, she went back to her designs, and made something even more interesting!
At level 5, Felicity gains:
Extraordinary Healing
Craft Mundane Item I
With this new focus on blacksmithing, she recreates the spear.
###Craft Mundane I: Craft up to WL 5 items
Improved Extending Spear
Two-Handed, Close Ranged (throwing), Forceful
Area (Line 2), Reach, Swift
Cost = 1 + 2 [Area (Line 2)] + 1 [Reach] + 1 [Swift] = 5 WL
Heavy Armor
WL 4, without speed penalty as already in the wealth & equipment section
After crafting these, she decided to make them even more interesting, and spent several days focusing on each one.
###Craft Extraordinary Item I; up to WL 5 (attribute 7)
Improved Black Death Spear
Weapon (Improved Extending Spear), Deadly 3, Damage (Entropy)
The blade is so eerily sharpened, the blade almost seeming to vanish into blackness if you stare too long. It gleams an ebony color, and sometimes, one might swear they could see black smoke around it
It grants a total of Advantage 4 (3 from deadly, 1 from 2-handed), and can deal either Forceful or Entropy damage.
Cost = 0 (Weapon) + 5 (Deadly 3) + 0 (Damage) = 5 WL
Jagged Bunny Tooth Spear
Weapon (Improved Extending Spear), Bolster 3, Persistent (Bolster), Damage (Entropy)
The blade is a little happier than the other one, a soft pink color. It seems to vibrate in a way to encourage the wielder to strike better. It gleams an ebony color, and sometimes, one might swear they could see black smoke around it
It grants the Bolster 3 (advantage 1) boon and the weapon sustains it itself, and can deal either Forceful or Entropy damage.
Cost = 0 (Weapon) + 2 (Bolster 3) + 3 (Persistent) = 5 WL
Improved Black Blood Armor
Armor (Breastplate, Heavy), Life Drain (5), Persistent (Life Draint)
Wanting to create something that can aid the wearer, she focused the energies to allow the armor to grant the user Life Drain even if they do not normally have the ability to do so, and in a way that they don’t have to focus on it.
Wearer has Life Drain active as long as they wear the armor. Using a Minor action they can deactivate it, and then re-activate with a Minor action.
Cost = 0 (Armor) + 2 (Bane @ 5) + 3 (Persistent) = 5 WL
Helga, at level 5 is really starting to come into her own, especially with the weapons provided by Bunny.
At level 5, Helga has:
Attributes
7 Might (& Will)
7 Prescience
4 Agility
3 Fortitude
Feats
Multi-Attack Specialist I
Attribute Substitution I (Might > Will)
Battle Trance
Two Weapon Brute
Indomitable Endurance II
Perks
Brute & Courageous
Flaws
Bloodlust & Vengeful
HP 34
Guard 24 (27 Battle Trance)
Toughness 20 (23)
Resolve 19 (22)
Helga can Battle Trance 2 Times with no worries, and up to 5 times and be effective in battle (except half speed after the 4th). Then be healed up by Bunny when swapping places again as the fatigue transfers over.
Because of the Armor and Jagged Bunny Tooth Spear, she now has Bolster (Advantage 1) and Life Drain (half damage dealt taken back as HP) up constantly without having to sustain, allowing her to sustain her own Boon of Truesight (7) if she needs it, or to just Focus action attacks.
Main Attack
2 Multi Attacks of 2 lines (5x10x10 twice)
Might (2d10) vs Guard with Advantage 4~6 (Battle Trance & Focus action)
3 Multi Attacks of 2 lines (5x10x10 twice)
Might (2d10) vs Guard with Advantage 1~3 (Battle Trance & Focus Action)
Felicity on the other hand, now has the ability to Craft Mundane I in Blacksmithing, Medicine, and Alchemy.
##Stage 5
By level 9, Felicity would have Boon Focus II (Genesis), able to create permanent crafted items that could be further worked by her.
By level 9, Helga would have Reckless Attack (an attack roll that can be done via Minor action at cost of 5 HP) as well as Combat Momentum to move through, and Multi-Attack Spec III, fully negating any disadvantage from doing 2 attacks. With a total of Advantage 6 (Bolster[1], Two-Weapon Brute[2], Deadly[3]), and additional Advantage up to 8 from Focus action and Battle trance, not to mention situational advantages.
