Specialist Classes MK2

By ElricOfMelnibone, in Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG

Ok, as I stated somewhere else, I've made several "variations" of the original classes for Anima. Some of those I'm not posting because they are based on Elan (much Like Champions and Clerics) with entities and pantheons I'm using in my campaign, and since I'm not posting my Elans because I don't feel very confident about those, I won't post the corresponding specialist classes either, but I've actually made 4 Specialist Classes for each class, granting my players an actual choice of 100 Classes. The list includes Invoker and Warrior Invoker which are actually classes from Arcana Exxet.

Anyway, here we go!

Halve the Intelligence value of a Morpher (round down) for calculating his Maximum Casting Level. Also, a Morpher only applies 1/2 of his actual ML. A Morpher cannot use Natural Magic Theorem.
A Morpher rolls, in addition to his normal character sheet, a second character sheet, called Morphed Form, which is that of a supernatural creature, using the rules for Creatures Creation, with the following exceptions.
1- The Morpher cannot buy The Gift or Access to Psychic Disciplines as Essential Abilities for his Morphed Form.
2- The Morpher can buy Abilities and Powers for his Morphed Form as a Creature with Gnosis 30, but he gets no other bonuses from its Gnosis, except from using this Gnosis to determine what it can affect with its attacks. The Gnosis increases by 5 each 10Level the Morpher has, but the same rules apply.
3- The Morphed Form has Attack and Defense (choose between Dodge and Block, unless it uses Damage Accumulation) equal to Morpher’s Magic Projection, but the DPs spent by the Morpher on Magic Projection (half of them if the Morphed Form has Damage Accumulation), are deducted from those allocated to the Morphed Form.

Maintaining the Morphed Form in following turns has a cost in Zeon points equal to half the character’s Presence (round up at multiples of 5). Lost Life Points and effects of Criticals are transferred from a form to the other, but in case of creatures with Damage Accumulation, lost life points are multiplied by the Accumulation Multiple when turning into the Morphed Form and divided by it when reverting to the original form.

This is an amazing list. Most of them fill in alot of gaps or solve problems that existet with the creation system before.

Aside from little individual fixes (I would never go with a +damage bonus per level for example), this is going straight to my standard rule library.

Thanks for the feedback…your comment about damage might be right. I believe the only class getting such bonus is the Archer (correct me if there's anyone else which I'm missing) and I would say that a +5Critical Level/Level might actually be better representing the class!

Here goes the fixed version:

Those Specialist classes really look interesting. However, there are some issues I'd like to point out.

Classes that can spend secondary DP to gain direct bonuses on primary abilities, for example the Sword Dancer, may need some limit on how much of that secondary ability can be converted to a primary ability. If you just stick with 1/10 of dance = dodge if dual wielding, then someone will just spend 1CP, and buy lots and lots of dance. Perhaps the bonus should be limited to 1/10 of DP invested in Dance, or 1/5 of the class bonus or something, after all that bonus can become really huge and is in exchange for something most Acrobatic Warriors rarely specialize in, Sleight of Hand aside.

I thought this imbalance limitation was for the base values and not the final values (also becasue some classes only get a inniate class bonus to attack or defense but not both).

So long,

I've always worked on the basis that it's after all Characteristic Modifiers, Innate/Class bonuses, Martial Arts bonuses etc have been incorporated. The rule doesn't cap the DP-investment balance - it caps the balance between Attack and Defend.

Clearly it doesn't include quality bonuses from weapons though.

But in the basis book is written, that a difference of the base values of greater than 50 isn't allowed. And in the character sheet, the base value of attack and defense is without characteristic bonus, inniate class bonus and so on. It is only the value you get because of your spend DP. So, I don't understand, why you use the final value.

My apologies - you're absolutely right! I must have misread the wording before.

Well, that changes things for at least one of my characters. Thanks.

I believe his decision in this comes from the Official Forums, where Anima Studios answered this question.

Discussion to follow, but there are posts in between these, and some bit of time. The entire thread is here:

http://cipher-studios.com/AnimaBB/index.php?topic=576.0

It's got some interesting stuff. The relevant post numbers are called out below, and they start about page 28 and carry over to page 29. Hope that helps.

Exarkfr: (post 418)

True_Yuuki confirmed several times that :
- one is supposed to use final Attack and Defence for martial arts (and not base)
- the limit of 50 points between Attack and Defence was with final values, and not base

It doesn't bother me much for martial arts (that won't make a huge difference, and they still have to be paid).

Yet for the 50 points limit, it could become imbalanced for some classes who get a bonus in either Attack or Defence (but not both).
A Thief only gets a Dodge bonus, so he would be "forced", after a few levels, to invest more points into Attack (even if his base scores are within 50 points). At level 10 (when the class bonus caps), if his AGI is higher than his DEX, even if his base values are equal, he would have a final Dodge more than 50 points higher than his Attack

Exarkfr: (post 425)

how about the previous question ? Base, or Final ?

Anima Studio: (post 426)

Final

Edit: Of course, you can use whichever ruling you want. As long as your players and you are happy with it. And it's entirely possible that AS's intent changed between writing of the book and answering said question.

I think the imbalance doesn't really matter, after all, the Sword Dancer only gets this bonus if dual wielding, which seems to hint that this bonus is not a permanent one like class bonuses or invested DP, but rather something like a ki technique bonus and those are by definition not affected by the "max 50 points difference rule", I could be wrong though.

The real question is how high should that bonus go? With the right advantages I can see it skyrocketing to 60+ points, at high level of course. That seems a bit much.

You all made EXTREMELY good points and I thank you all for the always very useful feedback!

First of all, no class can apply any of the "secondary based" bonuses to both Attack and Defence AT THE SAME TIME (or at least, I hope I've corrected all of them so that it's so…but if some classes still get bonus to both at the same time, please point out the typo, since that would be AMAZING help!)

The "secondary based bonus" should not be counted in the "50 difference limit" since it's a circumstance bonus, much like having +10Attack for higher ground positioning. I'm very aware of the danger of having secondary abilities influence primary abilities, and I must admit that at higher level the thing may become very dangerous for balance (I've rolled high level characters with more than 1000 on a single secondary, actually…). I guess that having a "limit" to such bonuses to Attack/Defense might be the best Idea. How about setting the limit to 50 (a classical number)? Reaching 500+ in a secondary ability is still some kind of feat for a character (he's either investing tons of DPs and/or tons of CPs on it), and classes gaining such bonuses are still renouncing to something else from the original class. I'm open to any other proposal, by the way.

I'd say 25 (half of the maximum class conus to a single primary ability aside from Wear Armor) is more than enough. If you really want a class to have a higher bonus, I suggest to give it a greater malus. For example the Sword Dancer could get +50 max instead of +25, BUT if he uses dodge to block (normally -60), he instead gets a malus of 60 +1,5 times the bonus he gets from dancing, or in other words, if he is forced to block, he doesn't get the dancing bonus, and applies half his dancing bonus as an additional penalty.

On a sidenote, with your current rule the maximum bonus one can get is +150 at level 15, if he spends 40% of his DP to not hurt his primaries:

[150 (class) + 800 (DP +1CP) + 100 (natural bonus) + 450 (3CP)]/10= 150

Of course, no sane player would do that and no sane GM would allow that, but it shows exploiting possibilities.

There are additional things to say, but I certainly don't want go go down the static bonuses vs. scaling bonuses vs. probability bonuses discussion route again. At least not today.

Good morning.

Now please excuse my horrible attemt to do some mathematic calculations. The following calculations do not include ones inability to roll a 90 on an open roll and also do not include fumble chances.

So, let's take a look at the True Blade:

The average result of a d100 roll is 50,5. The chances of any character to get an open roll is 11% (90-100) and then 1% less each time (91-100, 92-100…)

So the average open roll would be ~56.61… . (50,5+(50,5*0,11)+(51*0,01)+ (51*0,00091)…)

If you now look at a level 15 True Blade, his chances to achieve an open roll on attack and defense are increased by 7. The True Blade's average open roll would be ~60,53… . That's an average bonus of approximately 3,9 points to attack and defense if I'm not miscalculating.

I suggest giving the true blade an additional bonus, or increase the open roll chance to +1 at every level. This would increase his average roll to ~65,01… at level 15, but that may be too much, as the chances to achieve skyscraping rolls damatically increase. All in all I suggest an additional bonus of some sort, as the increase of chances to achieve open rolls on attack and defense by 7 alone seems weak in comparision to +25 or +50 on attack, or defense.

You are in the wrong thread, but concerning the problem: Don't forget that the standard deviation increases alongside with 'just the average score'. The increased chance of open rolls makes the dices alot more chaotical with tendencies of more extreme results.

If you are only looking for the average bonus, you will have a bad time with every effect that increases open rolls, because that value is never affected so much until very high levels (probably open roll from 70 to 100 or so [a +20 open roll bonus!]- and even then 'just around +15'). But hidden in this mediocre average bonus lies the probability of great luck and the chance to overcome much tougher opponents than you could reach with a simple +25 attack bonus. A bonus of average + 4 could mean 10% chance of +40 or 2% chance of skybreaking +200.
Of course the distribution is much more complicated, but this is in essence what makes this skill worth its costs.

But again, wrong thread. gui%C3%B1o.gif Better repost it in a new one.

How is that the wrong thread? He's posting about Elric's True Blade class (Acrobatic Warrior variant), which is described in the opening post of this thread.

As I said, I'm really bad at math, but I also stated that the probability to achieve very high results might be over the top. Perhaps it would be best do give the True Blade a different bonus, one that can be calculated a little better. If I can just calculate the average bonus on a probability roll it becomes problematic, but maybe someone can post more acurate calculations.

I'd like very much to thank Heart of a Tiger for his strong in-depth reviews of my work.

First I'll answer about the True Blade. Personally I'm not changing it. Granting it a bonus of +1% Open Roll per level would be definitely broken. A level15 True Blade would open roll 1/4 times he rolls the dice…which is definitely too much…besides, each +1% open roll greatly increases the chances of MULTIPLE open rolling. My calculation of +1%/2Levels compared to 2CPs (hence the two +10 Secondary/Level bonuses removed) is mostly based on playtest (with characters having similar powers due to elan or artifacts). The class tends to be extremely dangerous at high levels, yet a bit unpredictable and still missing the stamina of the acrobatic warrior (high levels of athletics are very interesting and jump still allows very interesting feats in game). More than anything else, the True Blade is a DPS. Part of the balancing is his total loss of flexibility, though, since it has to specialize in the use of a single weapon, although that might not seem a problem for most players, losing flexibility may still always come to hurt.

Well, now about the seconary-based primary abilities…I'd like to retain a certain uncapped system, still I can see the limits of such system. My idea is that the character might obtain a +5 (to attack/defense depending on class) for each 50 points he/she has on the seconary up to 250, after which the following +5 bonus requires a value in the secondary which is increased by a cumulative +50 compared to the previous.

Hence:

+30 -> 350

+35 -> 500

+40 -> 700

+45 -> 950

+50 -> 1250

+55 -> 1600

And so on…Sincerely I believe all characters have better ways of improving their fighting skills than dropping tons of dps and cps on a single secondary ability (becoming useless in all non-combat related situations, on top of that!). Besides, I have to remember that all such bonuses are somewhat circumstantial since they all have some requirement to apply.

That idea could work. There is one thing I still have to say about the Sword Dancer and the True Blade.

As you said, both Jump and Athletics are very useful secondary abilities. To take those bonuses away certailly hurts the True Blade, as those secondary abilities are essencial abilities of the Arcrobatic Warrior(Athleticism improves the time at which you can run at full speed, and Jump is obvious).

Now, the Sword Dancer on the other hand, only gets maluses in areas that do not hurt him at all.

1: He is a dual wielder, so could not use Sleight of Hand in combat anyway.

2: Most Acrobatic Warriors only Wear very light armor (long coat) so that their Wear Armor requirement would be effectifely 0(because of strength or quality armor).

3: He would not use shields because he is dual wielding.

All in all I think the Sword Dancer is too effective, considering his, in normal situations nonexistant maluses, he gets +10 to dance eyery level, no penalties for dual wielding equal sized weapons, and the dodge bonus. All those things make him extremely powerful, and I personally see the dance bonus allone approximately as powerful as the True Blade's only bonus.

I think you're not considering rightly the maluses of the Sword Dancer. A high cost for Wear Armor is relevant, since NOTHING in the system requires an Acrobatic Warrior to go around in light armor, as far as his Wear Armor value is sufficiently high as to allow him to wear heavy armor without penalties, and a jumping/running ARMORED fighter is always better than a jumping/running NAKED one. Besides, the huge limits on shields are there for two very important reasons: first a character could choose to dual wield AND wear two bucklers, second a character could choose to dual wield WITH two shields or two full shields! Now, a character fighting with two full shields +15 (very doable with an expense of just 4CP or 3CP plus tons of luck when rolling for social position using Gaia tables and depending on origins) and a Shield Dodge Module would benefit from a total +90Bonus to defense…at LEVEL1! There are tons of very "munchkin" builds out there, and the shield limitation is there for that. As absurd as it might seem, you might make an acrobatic warrior dual wielding shields and wearing heavy armor, who would definitely benefit from a much higher initiative than a warrior with the same combo!

Besides, dual wielding usually means carrying weapons with relatively low Base Damage. Anyway…let's see what we can do.

SWORD DANCER (ACROBATIC WARRIOR):
An Acrobatic Warrior may choose to “specialize” as a Sword Dancer. This can be done either at character’s creation, when switching class to Acrobatic Warrior or at any level-up if the character is already an Acrobatic Warrior.
A Sword Dancer only applies a Class Innate Bonus of +5 to Life Points and Athletics per Level, but applies a Class Innate Bonus of +10 to Dance per Level. A Sword Dancer spends 3DPs per point of Wear Armor.
A Sword Dancer doubles penalties to Initiative and halves Defense bonuses of Shields, but applies no Initiative penalty for wielding two weapons of the same size and while dual wielding may choose to apply a Dodge bonus equal to 1/10(round down at multiples of 5) of his Dance value.
BREAKDOWN:
PENALTIES: No +10Sleight of Hand/Level. +5Life Points/Level, +5Athletics/Level. Shields have double penalties and half bonus.
BONUS: +10Dance/Level. No penalty from dual wielding same sized weapons. Dual wielding Dodge bonus equal to 1/10 Dance.

I reworked a bit the penalites. Now the sword dancer gains his sleight of hand bonus as normal, BUT he's got halved Athletics Bonus and halved Life Points Bonus. These two together should hurt just enough, since they reduce his moving capabilities (and potentially his stamina), and overall endurance, especially considering the very unconvenient use of shields and the high cost of armor allowance.

Interesting works of classes so far… I think I might like them!

Questions abound (two of them):

1) Did you make the classes listed?

2) Did you notice that I sent you a message recently? /completely unrelated to the rest of the topic….

I'm only replying to the first question (the second was already answered…in another time, in another space…). Yes, I did all of them plus a few based on home made elans…the reasons they're not posted is elsewhere in this forum.

Okay, wanted to make sure.

Seriously, I'll say this again and again if I have to: You ROCK!!

Seriously, though, it's alright for other users to use these classes, right? I'm asking mainly because of circumstances, among other things.

The more playtest, the better! Everyone who's interested in the stuff I post should feel free to use ALL AND ANY of it! I post it so I can share it, and feedback is always welcome, because it lets me improve my game experience as well!

1: Dual wielding shields equals munchkinism^3 and should be banned from this game anyway.

2: Considering the bonuses of the Acrobatic Warrior, he might be better of with light armor, Ars Magnus, Impossible Weapons and ki stuff. But yeah, more armor is better than less in general.

I like the new Sword Dancer build, it feels a lot more balanced.
