Model Organ Polydactyly (GLOG Class: Frankenstein)

MogaChumu
"hey this doesn't look like a class about a mad scientist attracted to his cousin" shut the fuck up

You are a lump of disposable tissue. You exist as a proof-of-concept, or an organ bank, or an unintentional byproduct of industrial science.

You belong to someone who expects very little of you. Maybe, if you ever turn out to be worth anything, they'll visit.


MANIKIN
Start with: needle and thread, spare limb, bottle of formaldehyde.
+1 Limb per template
A - Spare Parts, Doppelganger
B - Galvanize
C - Myriapod
D - Doctor, Divorce

A: Spare Parts
With scalpel, needle, thread, and 10 minutes, you can harmlessly remove your own limbs/organs and replace them with someone else's. (Limbs/organs you stitch onto others are non-functional, and subject to graft-versus-host disease.)

You can use as many limbs as you started with, plus [templates], in any configuration.

You can sacrifice one of your limbs to reduce incoming damage by d12. You can protect anyone in reach this way, including yourself.

A: Doppelganger
You look and sound exactly like someone important, minus the stitches.

B: Galvanize
You are full of red lightning and mad science. Your bare hands deal an additional d4 lightning damage, and you can use them as defibrillator paddles. (return to life on a 1-in-10 if they died in the last minute)

C: Myriapod
If you have 4+ arms, you can make an additional attack per round.

If you have 4+ legs, you can run fast as a horse in a straight line.

If you have 2 or more heads, you have +1 MD.

D: Doctor
You can now stitch functional limbs/organs onto others. This takes a day's work, plus a full year of recovery for your patient.

D: Divorce
With a season's work, you split in two. Distribute your limbs between your two bodies. You are now playing two separate characters: you can do twice as many things, be in two places at once, and so on.

Your two halves do not share thoughts or memories after the operation.

 

JIN LH
it is rumored an order of church-adopted manikin secretly monitor those who practice certain excessive forms of mad science.

Yeong-Hao Han
it is said another path exists for those of welcoming flesh: instead of division, fusion.

d12 Funny limbs found in a dungeon

  1. dragon head. Breathes fire, obviously. Speaks eloquently, less obviously
  2. dead artist's hands, can reproduce her works with high accuracy
  3. Sticky mimic tongue (the kind you get at chuck e cheese for 1000 tickets but really big)
  4. Black iron prosthetic of the highest craftsdwarfsmanship, concealed heavy crossbow
  5. pirate peg-leg with secret compartment and swiss army tip
  6. Sleipnir hoof (can walk straight into Hell)
  7. minecart wheels (so you can roll on the tracks) 
  8. Ogre's dominant arm, an adept torturer
  9. flash-fossilized priest's hands clasped in prayer, project a field of blessings
  10. Giant praying mantis claw, +1
  11. Curse-etched leg of the green lich, the knee aches when goody two shoes adventurers are near
  12. 18ft albino anaconda
(some classes demand their own treasure. This class can make do with whatever's lying around)
