Valhalla Fantasy Role Playing Game: World of Iapetus

This is a special tribute to my favorite manga Claymore by Norihiro Yagi. This class does not appear in the Iapetus High Fantasy Role Playing Game.

Claymore (Character Class)

Claymores are divided into Attack and Defense Classes. The Character must choose it when he/she decides to play a Claymore. Claymores can sense the Dark Magus Races and instinctively knows if they are Humans or Demons. Claymores have superior abilities because they gained the innate abilities of the Demons that they are fighting by infusing their flesh to their body. At such, their hair will change to white/blonde and they had silvery eyes, an indication that they are no longer Humans. When they manifest the effects of a power surge, their eyes will turn golden.

Special Ability
1. Power Surge
Claymores can increase their initiative, damage by 10% and gain +1 Auto Hit, +1 Critical (3 SF/round) at anytime during combat. They can further increase it to 30% (5 SF/round) gaining a 30% to Initiative/Damage and a +2 Auto Hit/+2 Critical. At 50%, they gain 50% more damage/initiative and gain +1 to Tremendous, +3 Auto Hit/Critical (7 SF/round). At 80%, they can gain 80% Damage/Initiative and +2 Tremendous, +5 Critical/+5 Auto Hit (9 SF/round). Using surge have its risk.

A Claymore have three chance to stabilize themselves before their SF runs out. At 10% power surge, they have 90% chance of becoming normal. At 80% power surge, they had only 20% chance of becoming normal. Failure indicates that they had become a monster (Horrific). Every 10 SF that is drained by the power purge, they must roll vs failure or lose control and turned into Horrifics.

Male Claymores have a -20% failure rate. However, 1-2 is always a success.

If a claymore breeches the 80% and becomes normal, he/she gained a permanent bonus of 30% to Initiative/ Damage and +1 Tremendous. Also adds +6 more Attack and Skill.

Players that fail the save becomes a Horrific and is taken out of play.
