A continuation from the previous series of D&D Classics with a Fantasy Craft Twist, these characters are a little weirder.
>Keeper Saurian Barbarian
Designed as a possible party leader and, failing that, a very helpful support character, I was reading a Conan the Barbarian comic book the day I created this one, and I was also reading some stories about Marines in Vietnam. The two fused together somehow and I ended up with this as a result. Good in a fight, but also good in the bush. Not as much as, say, the Scout, but is definitely kitted out in very helpful ways.
>Priest Dwarf Cleric
The result of too much 80s heavy metal while playing a game of Dorf Fortress and watching a hammerer massacre a lot of nobles. Path of Life and of Metal using a custom Alignment for a custom setting I have on the side. Added here in case you are curious. The big thing about the Dwarf is that he (or she) is designed to provide non-magical healing to the party which is the opposite of what most people expect a Cleric to do. The feats selected allow two uses of Mend on each other character per day, which isn't bad. In the event the GM desires to delve into the crafting mechanics of Fantasy Craft, this Dwarf provides that support on the party side, enabling easy repair of metal objects.
>Sage Drake Bard
Okay I have to admit this one suffers because it was a bit of a pet and the first of these PCs I actually built. In a single phrase, this character is 'The guy who knows a thing or two about a thousand things, knows things, and drinks.' Pause. 'And is a fire breathing flying lizard the size of a Semi. Have fun.'
Basically if Tyrion Lannister was a drake.
>Scout Gnoll Ranger
I have this history book about early blackpowder armed aboriginal skirmish units from the colonial period of human history. Lightly equipped camouflaged squads who refused to stand in a line and be shot at by the ranks of redcoats marching down the field after them. One of two characters I designed with a blackpowder weapon. Unlike the other one, the Gnoll's blunderbuss is broken and must be repaired. It was the only way for me to legally give him a blunderbuss and not have it count toward his Level 1 Silver expendiures. Fortunately, the reflex bow is an effective fallback weapon.
Maybe he'll meet a dwarf who can fix the gun barrel?

13 FC Level 1 PCs Part 3: The Dark Continent
With the 'D&D Classics' out of the way, the final characters are uniquely Fantasy Craft PCs. The following are all designed around a peculiar theme I had on the mind the day I built them. You can probably guess what it was.
>Soldier Orc Tribesman
What started as what might have been the Fighter archtype evolved into something else. There was a documentary about the Zulu pre-colonial exposure playing somewhere when I sketched out the initial concept and this was the result. A real mean damage dealer - as is proper of a soldier class - but with smatterings of ranger and scout in there from the Tribesman background. Really good with Axes.
>Lancer Goblin Cavalier
Mongolian Wargrider. Complete with Warg! Can use ranged and melee weapons from the back of the big warg without penalty and if somehow knocked off the warg, still a Goblin, still a Lancer, meaning expect to be facing a nasty sneaky git. This is a character concept I have always wanted to play. Now I get to watch someone else play it…
>Explorer Human Savvy Musketeer
Remember how I said there was another character who can use blackpowder weapons? Here he is. He is also the only other character who can use siege weapons (the Captain is the other one). Like the Captain, this guy has strong leanings toward being a Party leader of some kind.
In a nutshell: Van Pelt from Jumanjii, except with a short reptile sidekick who owns a sand sailer. Tally ho sonny Jim.

No.422060
Designed with more urban settings in mind (I am a fan of the old D&D 3.X supplement Cityscapes), these characters have a metropolitan flavor splashed into them and are meant for games of courtly intrigue.
>Assassin Avian Jester
I was wondering what background package would be really unexpected or unlikely to show up on a character sheet when I saw 'Jester' from the Adventure Companion. Figured it was as unlikely as any. Somewhere throughout the character generation process I decided to pair that with the Assassin Class and from there the character evolved into some kind of killer stand-up comedian and minstrel who wanders courts of high society and bawdy taverns of low society. As for making him a black feathered avian - we did have a Kenku thread a while back and I happen to be on good terms with a family of crows that live in a tree next to my apartment. So this one is for them.
>Court Elf Lord
Designed with the intent to be a party leader or at the very least an extremely well connected socialite or fallen noble whose disgraced house is held together only by the fact that he still owns the deed to his actual home and has maintained the loyalty of one servant and a few retainers. Followers included - both the raw NPC data and the converted stats for use in a TL1 campaign setting. Good at fencing.
>Conjuror Uborn Wizard
Originally intended to be the Mage concept discussed with >>341390 , I quickly discovered that Unborn have a difficult time being offensive spellcasters because of the painful hit they take to charisma - affecting their Spell Save DCs. So I revisited the concept by using the unreleased Conjuror class for Spellbound. Drawing inspiration from Wakfu's Nox - what this Clockwork Wizard lacks in firepower it makes up for in raw utility and technical trickiness. Facing an army at the gates and finding yourself with only an army of tiny toy lead soldiers? Enlarge item! Animate Object! You now have an army of your own. Need to check a room for traps? Animate one of the Burglar's knives and have it do the job for you. City Guards at the door because the Barbarian couldn't keep it in his pants and he slept with the wrong woman? Hold Portal and buy yourself a few extra seconds.
I hope you folks find some amusement in them and, maybe, get some use out of them. The next time you try talking up Fantasy Craft and can't be arsed to generate any PCs for your timid party of potential players, just grab a few of mine.
That's all. Questions? Comments? I'll be around.

There's a master class called Dragon Lord that lets you do that or if you're a non-drake it lets you become a drake.
In my opinion it's a steep price to pay for a drake just to become humanoid and only at higher levels.
I'd ask your GM if drakes can take this class skill as a feat instead, maybe give it some other prerequisite or some sort of drawback.

No no no, you're all wrong. There are better options than this.
Picture related. It's from the Spellbound leak - Polymorph Self I.
Have an NPC shopkeeper in your game world with a small stock of these on hand for your Drake to purchase.
Alternatively? Ask your GM to give you a quest line that will let you discover the spell so you can cast it yourself.
Downside is that to run this spell legally it only lasts 1 minute per Caster Level.
HOMEBREW ALTERNATIVE
Long ago I had a player who wanted to run a Drake but didn't want to restrict the party with his size, so I gave him a small quest to find an artifact that was an amulet of polymorph - the object in question broke two rules.
1. There wasn't a limit to the duration of the Polymorph Self I spell when the item was activated. It would still cost him 5 reputation to transform, however, so I was fine with the tradeoff.
2. The other tradeoff is that when his drake polymorphed into a Human, he could not carry his full vitality over from his true form, meaning he was always physically vulnerable when he assumed human shape.
Further, he could never upgrade Polymorph Self 1 to the higher levels of that spell.
Just saying there are options for you if you're willing to work with your GM to make things interesting for yourself.
Incidentally, here's the amulet stats:
>ARTIFACT
>Amulet of Polymorph Self I
>Level: 5 Artifact
>Charm: x5 uses of Polymorph Self I per Scene.
>Free Action to Activate; Casting Time: 1 Minute
>Spell Modification: While active, Polymorph Self I has no duration.
>Spell Modification: While active, Polymorph Self I reduces its user's Max Vitality Pool by 1/2.>>422199

>Downside is that to run this spell legally it only lasts 1 minute per Caster Level.
If you have the Spell Conversion: Duration feat you can double that. You can even make that feat the essence on a magic item with the spell as the charm.
Another way to limit this power is to have a single specific form tied to the amulet, whether the duration is limited or not.
Personally, instead of finagling rules I would seek out a Wish spell to get the desired result.

It's totally fine as long as the players all know. The reason some are Permanent instead of having a cost isn't because the ones you can activate shouldn't be permanent. It's because the Permanent ones wouldn't make sense as temporary ones.

You can take the first step on one path by taking the Blessed feat, the first step on another path by using the Cross-Training ability from Sage levels or a magic item to get Acolyte, and then another step by doing that again to get Path of the Devoted once. This means the most you can have without your class explicitly granting steps is three, and they have to be split into at least two paths, so the highest step you can get on any one path is 2.
>>422333
A GM can do that, but probably shouldn't if someone in the group wants to play a character that gets steps the normal way. You're taking away what makes the divine casters unique if you do that.

I forgot a couple sources of steps: if the Beneficent Universe quality is active, you can take the first step on one more path. The Crusader CTA supplement allows you to take Path of the Crusader as a Cross-Training option, so that's another step that can go anywhere, which pushes the highest possible step to 3.

Critical surge is nuts if you build a character around it. It's weird to me that it's considered a lesser NPC quality for the purposes of magic items.

That requires more investment in character building though. If you have someone with a build like that, that's when you start using encounters with a damage sponge (for them) plus other stuff for the rest of the party to fight. You can justify that in-story by their reputation preceding them.

Supposedly we're getting close to 900 new spells but since its all being dumped out in installments and it hasn't started yet we're still unlikely to see a completed, useful, book until 2020. I'm just waiting for them to open up preorders or whatever they call them where you give them money up front, get all the weekly or monthly releases, and then they give you the whole combined book at the end. I'd like to be able to show Crafty that I like their game but they're making it awful fucking difficult when they won't give me a product to buy.

Trying to understand some mechanics here. For a weapon like the lasso or mancatcher, do RAW account for snagging the target?

Standard DC of 12, with upgrades to add +2, +4, or +6.
Chapter 5
Special Combat Rules
Poison and Disease, page 216
>Poisons and diseases can be inhaled, ingested, absorbed through the skin, or applied to weapons. Each has an Incubation Period, during which time it spreads through a character’s system. Thereafter, and at the end of each subsequent Incubation Period, he makes a Fortitude save (DC 12). With success, he fights the contagion off entirely; otherwise, he suffers the listed effects. This process continues until the character fights off the contagion or dies. Antidotes are specific to each contagion and spread through the system over a period of time equal to the Incubation Period (during which the character may still have to make another Fortitude save).
The book is laid out for the players to have an easier time building characters. Most of the rules of play are in chapter 5, with stuff related to other topics like magic or NPCs in those chapters. Building and running the game is chapter 7. I agree it's confusing at times. The way they compartmentalized is ok except it's not always obvious that they did that (although the poison section under gear refers the reader to the above section).

I'm running a game but I don't really have a lot to report and I also don't want my players, who know where to look, to read up on what I'm doing. I'm already a little upset that in order to play Fantasy Craft I have to GM it since what I really want is to play the game. The only games that I've seen crop up on /tg/ were a one shot from a bit ago and another game that ran before that I had to drop out of so I think I may never find my fix. Hopefully Spellbound brings in a rush of interest in others to GM but who knows when that will actually come out and even then there isn't an assurance they'll have player positions and be able to accommodate my time zone and schedule. Oh well, running a game is better than not having one.

So the measuring of difficulty of NPCs to fight against seems a bit vague, there are categories but not every quality is actually weighted in the way they imply they are and they even admit that NPC qualities aren't a science so what sort of enemies do you use for different character levels in your own games?

The guidelines given work fine for anything you'd pull out of the bestiary or rogues gallery, templates included. If I'm making bespoke NPCs...
>easy
Keep it simple, maybe a gimmick or two with stats very in line with the guidelines, not many NPC qualities.
>challenging
Actually build the characters to have few weaknesses, usually something that requires non-standard behavior, outside-the-box thinking. With these I'm going to compare stats and do some fuzzy math about how likely each side's attacks and other actions are to succeed. I want the numbers to make it so they won't win in a simple straight fight, that they have to either prepare and weaken them, go after some weakness, etc.
>or ball-busting
Build the NPC (or group) as a hard counter to the party, forcing them to use character abilities they neglect. Give them NPC qualities that can mill the party's resources (e.g. tough mills action dice and crits). Loads of natural attacks and the flurry ability is also painful.
