This is an old revision of the document!
When it comes to survival strategies, it's hard to go wrong with a bit of simple cardio.
Anybody can sprint if they're willing to pay the Endurance cost, but a Sprinter is the unequaled master of getting around the battlefield quickly. If your campaign world lacks easily-available vehicles, being a Sprinter is also incredibly useful for general-purpose getting around and retains a good deal of utility even when vehicles are abundant.

Sprinter
| Movement | plus-circleRunner's Lungs: Whenever you choose to sprint (move up to 10 meters as a single action in exchange for a point of Endurance), roll a trigger die. If the result is 7+, sprinting didn't cost any Endurance this time and was totally free. | |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | plus-circleStraightaway: If you sprint in a totally straight line, it never costs Endurance. You can do so as much as you want. | |
| Limitation | minus-circleStay Light: You cannot benefit from any ability in the Sprinter class while carrying anything more than a light load. doubledPowerhouse Exemption: If you also have the Powerhouse class, you can ignore this limitation. |
|
Marathoner
| Movement | plus-circleTraveler: Your overland traveling speed is increased from five regions per day to ten regions per day. | |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | plus-circleUnending Pep: If you are traveling with a group of other creatures that don't have the Marathoner ability that choose to force-march themselves (travel 10 regions instead of 5, but accumulate 1 Stress point in the process) in order to keep up with you, you can keep their spirits up by setting a good example. All non-marathoners in your company can roll a trigger die after forced-marching; if the result is a 7+, then they ignore the Misery point they would normally acquire from it. plus-circleSelf-Motivated: If you choose to force-march yourself, you can travel up to 20 regions in a single day instead of 10. You also gain the benefit of the trigger die roll to avoid accumulating Misery when you do this. |
|
Moving Target
| Protection | plus-circleMeep Meep: Your sprinting isn't just fast, it's also unpredictable and wild. Every time you sprint, all attacks made against you during or afterward until the beginning of your next turn have a special failure chance of 3. This includes attacks that normally have minimal or no failure chances (such as most Area-type attacks). plus-circleStackable: If you sprint twice during your turn, the special failure chance of all attacks made against you increases to 6. |
|
|---|---|---|
Running Drop
| Utility | plus-circleIn Your Wake: You can use any thrown effect as part of a movement without spending an action to do so. The thrown effect targets the space you were in at the beginning of your move, and comes into effect either immediately before you start moving or immediately after you finish (you decide). If you were moving through open space (such as through jumping, flying, or similar) then the thrown effect is dropped down to the ground below your starting location. plus-circleJust One: You can only drop one throwable per movement action you take. doubledSynergistic: Running Drop is only useful if you have invested in one or more classes that grant a throwable effect. Some possibilities include pairing with Grenadier to be able to drop a grenade when surrounded by foes and scamper to safety before it explodes, or pairing with Smoker to pull a “ninja vanish” and escape cleanly from foes. Other possible uses also exist: - Caltropper - Grenadier - Mariner: Splash - Smoker - Visage: Imagist doubledPilot Synergy: If you have the Pilot class, you can also use this ability while driving a vehicle. |
|
|---|---|---|
Skirmish
| Movement | plus-circleRun n' Gun: You can embed other actions in the middle of a movement action, then finish your movement. For example, you can take an action to move 5 meters, stop to take another action to attack 2 meters into it, then continue moving your remaining 3 meters. Normally you must end your movement action entirely in order to do anything else. | |
|---|---|---|
Speedster
| Movement | plus-circleTo The Limit: You can take a regular 5-meter movement action for free any time during your turn, as many times per turn as you like. minus-circleTaxing: Every time you use Speedster to take a free movement action, you lose one Endurance (or Vitality if you have no Endurance remaining). |
|
|---|---|---|
Enterprises
| Sprinter School | The settlement hosts an institution that teaches the secrets of this class for a small fee. Keystones of this class can be purchased here for 1 Supply each. |
|---|
Weaknesses
| Handless | You are incapable of fine manipulation. You can't do anything that requires hands (like using doorknobs, threading needles, or elegantly sipping tea). |
|---|---|
| Racetrack | The settlement hosts regular races of some kind. You can bet on the outcomes if you want; see the Enterprises page for more information. |
