The Eboshi (MononokeGLOG)

Studio Ghibli Gifs | Studio ghibli quotes, Studio ghibli movies, Studio  ghibli

You're a woman with a gun. Those rejected and degraded by polite society flock to you. Then you give them a gun.

You get +1 HP and +1 to hit for each Eboshi template you have. This increases to +2 to hit per template against men who have betrayed you.

The Eboshi
A: Perfect For Ruling The World
B: A Wolf’s Head Still Bites
C: Irontown Militia

D: Very Impressive Piece of Paper
Δ: How to Kill a God

A: Perfect For Ruling The World
You carry two prototype firearms. They’re bulky, single-shot, medieval hand cannons that deal 3d6 damage and take three rounds to reload. If the powder gets wet, it’s useless. New prototypes, ammunition, etc. are not cheap to produce, but you can easily teach others how to make more.

If you roll doubles on damage dice, something fucks up. It’ll take an hour to fix. You also take 1d6 damage.

When you gain an Eboshi template, choose or invent an upgrade for your prototype firearms.

  1. Damage dice explode on 6
  2. Ignores half armor/AC
  3. Automatically shatters shields/natural armor on hit
  4. No longer bulky
  5. Rifled, +2 to hit
  6. Can fire flare-type ammunition
  7. Can fire a steady stream of flame for 10 seconds
  8. Sets enemies hit on fire
  9. Gun only fucks up if you roll triples
  10. Breech loading, takes 1 less round to reload

B: A Wolf’s Head Still Bites
When you arrive At Death’s Door, you can make a free attack. It is guaranteed to hit.

C: Irontown Militia
Your followers can reload firearms in one round. You can have 2 additional followers without issue.

D: Very Impressive Piece of Paper
The emperor sends you a missive. They want you to bring them the head of a god, in a desperate bid for immortality. They promise you something ludicrous in return.

Δ: How to Kill a God
Shoot at a god with the intent to kill.
You gain the benefits of this template immediately, before your shot makes impact.

Your firearms deal double damage to gods, including those that would otherwise be intangible, immortal, and indestructible, so long as you do not fear them.

  1. I like the way you adapted the character to become an entire archetype. The firearm modifications are a really nice feature!

    1. Hey thanks! It was a surprisingly fun exercise. I think writing classes gets a lot easier when you have an "arc" in mind, so basing it on a movie character makes the whole concept very clear from the get go.
