Duel Master

A number of games we play in modern times were influenced by games and events played in

ancient times. In the case of the Duel Master, we find the source of todays popular trading card

game. Duel Masters are wizardly folk whose main source of power comes from their magical

energy cards. With this power, they can grant all sorts of bonus magical effects, or cast spells

based on the Pokemon they own.

When using Duelmasters in a non-Pokemon campaign, you will need another method to

determine the spells and abilities they can use for their Class Feature. For example, they could

learn by reading spellbooks, or by collecting magical artifacts that they may draw power from.

6/28

Pirate

When dealing with vast open oceans or sailing the sky islands in an airship, Pirates are bound to

show up and cause trouble. These plunderous scallywags will stop at nothing to beat people up,

rob them blind, and drink all of the grog. Save some for me, darn it!

Of course, not all Pirates are evil. Many of them may just not like the way society runs things, or

left seeking greater freedoms. Perhaps your Pirate is simply a bandit or an outlaw on the run.

The Black Glove: When running a campaign in a different setting, consider allowing the Pirate to take appropriate

moves and features. For example, instead of learning moves like Razor Shell and Whirlpool in a Sky Pirate

campaign, they might learn moves like Air Cutter and Wing Attack.

Blacksmith. With hammer and anvil, a good Blacksmith will add all sorts of bonus effects to your

Rank 5

Effect:Your keyword/bonus limit is now 4. You may still only apply one weapon/armor keyword per piece of

13


14/28

Weapon Keywords

Rupture

Causes Bleed if the AC is within the range indicated by the keyword. (EX: Rupture 3 would be a 18-20, Rupture 5

would be 16-20.) Bleed causes 1/16th HP damage each round until the target is affected by HP healing of any sort.

Piercing

A weapon with piercing is able to punch through the defense of anything, but lacks a certain striking power. A

weapon with piercing ignores Defense and/or Special Defense gained from armor and shields. Due to the nature

of the weapon the DB is reduced by 1.

Charge Time

Your weapon takes a while to warm up, but it packs a wallop when its ready. This charging period can be anything

from actually having a warm-up period, being a bow with a long draw, or even being a weapon that just happens to

weigh a ton. When wielding a weapon with Charge Time, you must spend a Standard Action on the previous turn

before you can attack with it.

Opportunist

Whether the lightning fast strike of a dagger, the reflexive twitch needed to pull a trigger or a certain eastern curved

blade known for its fast-draw styles, a speed weapon is able to pull of quick strikes that can leave slower weapons

in the dust. Once per encounter, the wielder of an opportunist weapon may make an attack as an interrupt in

response to being targeted.

Stat Style

From the defensive quarterstaff to the battle-axe made for swinging hard, some weapons are designed with

specific combat philosophies in mind. Upon creation, the crafter choses a non-HP Stat the Stat Style weapon will

be associated with. Whenever the weapon makes a successful attack, the wielder may spend 1 AP as a Swift

Action on AC 16-20 to raise the weapons associated stat by one stage.

Threaded Weapon

This weapon keyword can grab ahold of targets and objects by wrapping around them. As long as the target is still

restrained, if the weapons holder is heavier, they are Trapped. If the weapons holder is lighter, they are Slowed,

and the weapons holder is dragged around with them. The weapon use may also pull themselves to the target as

a Swift Action.

Push

Push weapons are generally large weapons that can send foes flying. Someone hit by a Push Weapon is moved

away from the attacker a number of spaces indicated by the keyword.

Hand Option

If a one-handed weapon is big enough to be used with two hands, it will have the Hand Option Trait. You may

switch to a two-handed stance either as a Swift Action if your off-hand is empty, or as a Standard Action if you are,

as if you needed to equip a weapon. Using a Hand Option weapon with 2 hands increases the Damage Base by 1.

Typed

In more fantastical campaigns, or when the creator feels it makes sense, weapons may deal damage based on

an elemental type. For example, maybe that scimitar your players found in the desert ruins deals Fire Elemental

Damage. Remember that using this weapon provides the user with super effective attacks against some types,

but not very effective attacks against others.

14


15/28

Move

Similar to Typed, some weapons may teach the user a move which they can only use while they are equipped with

that weapon. Perhaps your archers dragon-slaying bow allows him to use a ranged instance of Dragon Claw, or

an electrically charged mace that can swing out Thunder Punches. As with typed weapons above, use these ones

wisely.

Armor KeywordsQuick Release Straps

Normally, taking off ones armor takes a full round during combat, but with a little bit of engineering, you are now

able to remove your armor in only a Swift Action.

Saddle Straps

Usually used by those that use a mount in combat, but are not the most proficient on a mount. These straps attach

the users armor to a Pokemons saddle, making it so that it is nearly impossibly to remove the rider from the

saddle. You always succeed any checks to stay in the saddle, however, you require a full action to detach yourself

from the saddle and dismount.

Spiked Armor

By attaching spikes to your armor or shield, you make your enemy think twice about attacking you outright, but it

also makes it a bit more awkward to move with the gear. You gain the Iron Barbs ability, but take a -2 penalty to

Athletics and Acrobatics checks. NOTE: Multiple instances of Iron Barbs do not stack.

Aqua Dynamic

By creating special pathways and chambers into a suit of armor you are able to remove surface and underwater

penalties from medium armors and remove sinker from heavy armor and gain a surface/underwater speed of 2.

Specialized

Upon creation the maker of the armor chooses a weapon type (ie Slashing, Bludgeoning, etc.) This armor now

grants an 5 additional damage reduction from attacks of this weapon type, including moves that come use this

weapon.

15


16/28

Guardian

The Guardian. Most Trainers are willing to sacrifice some of their well-being for their Pokemon,

but the Guardian borders on suicidal. Their life means little to them all they know is that they are

strong, and their allies are not as strong as them.

A Guardian risks his or her life every day in a brave attempt to protect their allies. These are

trainers who have made taking hits for their team a science and are the epitome of a human

shield. It is recommended that Guardians wear heavy armor and other defensive equipment so

they might protect themselves as well as their teammates.

Geomancer

Gathering the natural magicks of the earth, Geomancers specialize in weaponizing nature

against their foes. The earth itself moves at the command of the Geomancer, shaping and

strangling nearby foes.

In combat, Geomancers are not a direct combat focused class, but rather have a vast array of

support abilities to hinder foes and buff allies. You should be careful, however, as a

Geomancers magic effects a wide area, and may affect allies if youre not careful!

Buildings and Fortifications

When dealing with medieval fantasy, its important to know the basics of what your surroundings

will be like. Here are some helpful tips as to what your cities may be.

Castles

Usually owned by royalty or nobility, Castles are often the centerpiece of a town. This is so thetownspeople may be watched over by their ruling lord. More often than not, castles are made

from stone, which is a fairly common commodity that is easy to set up in an age without

concrete or mass-produced steel. Castles are usually very luxurious inside, to show off the

owners immense wealth and fortune. The floors are usually made with stone, a much cleaner

material.

Walls and Gates

Most towns and villages will have walls surrounding their town to protect them from bandits, wild

Pokemon, and other undesirables. Often crafted from wood and occasionally stone if the town is

fortunate enough to have access to groundshaping Pokemon. Gates are used to enablepassage in and out of the town, and come in several varieties. The drawbridge is rather

common, if the town has an aquatic moat or deep chasm surrounding it, and more lavish gates

may have giant wooden doors or even iron bars that are lifted by chains or ropes from the inside.

Houses

Peasants can rarely afford more than wood for their houses, unless theyre particularly rich

merchants. The roofs are often thatched with straw or thick grass, making fire particularly

dangerous in the summer heat. Enter Trogdor, stage right. Floors are usually dirt, and only

extravagant houses or townspeople have second stories. However, cellars are fairly common

occurrences, as even the poorest townsfolk will manage to dig out a small storage cellar.

Water

Some peasants acted as millers, farming grains and straws to use on their thatch-roofed

cottages, as well as for the purposes of baking bread. To do so, they would set up watermills

near sources of running water to propel the wheel, as such many villages and towns are

generally located near rivers and streams. In more luxurious towns, some lords or kings would

set up aqueducts, a series of water passages (usually made from stone) to transport fresh

water from a water source, such as a stream or reservoir, around the city to the townspeople.

21


22/28

Traps, Tricks, and Bogeymen

Fire Wall

Trigger:Pressure plates, located on the floor

Effect:When the plates are triggered, anyone caught standing on a trap takes Damage Base 4 Fire Damage. Do

not apply stats, but do apply weakness and resistance. Players may attempt to avoid the flames by making first a

Perception or Intuition check to notice the trap, and then an Acrobatics check to move away in time.

Collapsing Wall Spikes

Trigger:Pressure plates, located on the floor

Effect:When plates are triggered the walls will grow spikes and slowly begin moving inward potentially crushing

those unfortunate enough to get stuck in them. Players may attempt to avoid the trap by making a Perception or

Intuition check to notice the pressure plate, after the trap has been triggered RUN! Alternatively, the GM may set an

obstacle course to reach the off switch.

Pits

Trigger:Pressure Plates. Will often be ominously large gaps with platforms in between.

Effect:Those who fall in take falling damage based on the depth of the pit. Pits with spikes at the bottom increasebase falling damage by 1, and other nasty surprises, such as wild Pokemon or lava/boiling water may be below.

Poison Gas

Trigger:Pressure Plates, Tripwires, or manual switches.

Effect:When triggered a poisonous gas is released into the air, players that do not have proper protection from

airborne toxins will become Badly Poisoned.

Falling Boulders

Trigger:Various

Effect:When triggered, a boulder will drop from the ceiling. The boulder will travel in a straight line, inflicting

Damage Base 20 to anything it runs over. The boulder will not turn unless the hallway is designed with curves in it,

so it is suggested that you make the hallway just large enough for the boulder to fit in to make it harder for the PCs

to escape. The boulder moves at Overland 3 each round.

Golem/Elemental Protectors

Trigger:A player tries to enter a door, open a chest, pass a certain point

Effect: Golem or Elemental Protectors are often placed in dungeons to protect treasure from falling into unworthy

hands. Golems are traditionally made of stone or metal, and use melee weapons and shields. They may know the

move granted by the weapon edge associated with their move, and have stats equal to a trainer of their level.

Elementalists are composed of something of their chosen element, such as Water or Fire, resulting in them

having that type. and are treated as if they have the same stats as a trainer of their equivalent level. Elementals can

use Struggle attacks of their element, or at a range of 4 dealing special damage. They may also know Moves of

that type. Feel free to be creative with your golems and elementals.

Boiled Oil

Trigger: Various

Effect: When triggered boiling oil will pour out into the area, those caught in the oil will take Damage Base 5 Fire

damage and will then continue to suffer from the Burn condition.

22


23/28

Kill Cages

Trigger:Manual release, occasionally tripwires or pressure plates.

Effect:When triggered 1-2 feral pokemon are released per cage. These pokemon are often canine in nature and

generally treated very poorly to increase their blood rage.

Gender Bender Traps

Trigger:Various.

Effect:The victim is caught in a pink cloud. Their gender is changed, and their Spirit and Body attributes are

swapped for the duration. This effect lasts for 24 hours, or until an appropriate cure is found.

Illusions

Trigger:Various

Effect:When triggered many things could happen but here are a few classic examples. Illusions may cover the

door to the room you are wanting hiding it from view. Illusions may hide a chasm or pit by creating a false floor. On

the other side of the coin illusions might make a perfectly normal and safe floor seem very dangerous to cross.

The only limiting factor is your GMs imagination.

Note:Illusions are completely harmless in and of themselves and can only be made truly dangerous in

combination with other traps.

Tripwire

Trigger:Stepping through the tripwires square, opening a door/chest.

Effect: Often used as triggers to other more devious traps, tripwires do have a use of their own causing those

unfortunate enough to not see them to fall prone.

Giant Spider Webs

Trigger:There are Spider Pokemon in your dungeon.

Effect:There is a giant spider web suspended in mid-air. These webs are usually strong, and very sticky. When

caught in a spider web, the player is trapped, and cannot use any limbs that have been trapped in the web. Spider

Pokemon, such as Ariados and Joltik, may travel across these webs with no problem. Webs can be destroyed withbladed weapons/attacks and Fire type moves.

Revived Skeletons

Trigger:The victim enters an area where a number of other adventurers have died (ie., a pit)

Effect:Skeletons revive in the area and are immediately hostile to the players. The skeletons have stats equivalent

to a player of their level, and may use weapons of any type. If a skeleton falls, the other skeletons may pick up one

of the fallens bones, enabling it to use the moves Bone Club, Bonemerang, and Bone Rush.

Warp Tiles

Trigger:Stepping on one.

Effect:When triggered the player or players will be teleported to the location where the warp tile has been attuned

to, this may be another warp tile that will send them back to the original or it could be into a separate room all with

no immediately apparent exit, perhaps even no exit at all.

Escherooms

Trigger:Entering the room, hallway, building, etc.

Effect:These rooms are partially trapped in a separate dimensional state allowing for their complete disregard for

the laws of physics, gravity, and sanity.

Note:Please refer to the works of M.C Escher for inspiration.

Coliseums and Arenas

A coliseum is an exciting place to be in the medieval times. Rulers would build these places to punish criminals,

entertain the masses, and have something to feed all those hungry Liepard they keep around. Most fights in the

coliseum are without rules, and if the crowd didnt enjoy your fight enough, they may vote to see you axed!

Next to being a great place to watch or get involved in fighting, Coliseums were also prime places to gatherinformation, thanks to the large number of people gathered together. For the sake of gaining money, many would

place wagers on the combatants, which often helped the economy of the ruling lord.

Depending on how your coliseum works, participants may be stripped of their weapons and other items upon

entering, meaning they would have nothing but arena-provided weapons and equipment, which usually meant little

to no armor. Criminals were often pitted against wild beasts, and if a criminal survived long enough in the

coliseum, he would have been freed. Some warriors choose to stay at the coliseum due to their innate will to fight,

or because those who work willingly at the coliseum can earn a hefty penny or a widely-acclaimed status.

Note:For those of you looking for a little more grimdark to toss into your world, the coliseum is a wonderful

candidate. Often times, the existence of these places coincide with slavery, and a common practice was to put thesoldiers of an enemy country to death, oftentimes by pitting the poor souls against insurmountable odds, such as

better armed humans or the occasional pack of feral Houndoom. Another option is to have public torture sessions

in the arena. The flogging of a captured enemy general would be a sight to see.

Siege Weapons

In order to get past the tall, thick, stone walls of a castle, or to sink the enemy Pirate ship, youre going to need

some heavy firepower to get in. Here are a few examples of weapons your players may have access to.

Battering Ram

AC: 3

Frequency: EOT

Range: Melee

Damage Base: See Effect

Effect: Battering Rams vary in size. For every additional person holding the battering ram, this weapon deals +2

Damage Base, capping at 16.

War Ladder

Effect:A ladder placed against the side of a castle wall in an attempt to get inside. As a full action, you may make

an Athletics Check with a DC of 10. On success, you successfully set up the ladder. On defense, you may make an

opposing athletics check with a bonus of 1 for every target on the ladder as a full action. If you succeed, the ladder

falls backwards, and all targets on the ladder take falling damage based on ladder height.

Ballista

AC: 8

Frequency: EOT

Range: 15

Damage Base 10

Effect:An incredibly long-range weapon. Once set up, a Ballista must be taken down or destroyed to be moved,

which requires 2 Full Actions. Grants Piercing.

Catapult

AC: 6

Frequency: EOT

Range: 10

Damage Base: 8

Effect: Can be loaded with various ammo types for bonus effects, such as rocks, flaming dung, etc. Mobile, at

Overland 3, but takes a Full Action to fire.

Mangonel

AC: 6

Frequency:EOT

Range: 8, Burst 3

Damage Base 8

Effect: Needs a turn to re-load. Mangonels are often stationary on castle walls used as an anti-infantry weapon.

Similar enough in design to its cousin the catapult that it can fire large rocks just as well and vice versa for the

catapult.

26/28

Cannon

AC: 6

Frequency:EOT

Range: 10

Damage Base 12

Effect: Explodes in a 1 meter burst upon impact. Those in the burst rather than the impact point take Damage

Base 6 instead. Needs a turn to re-load. Cannons are heavy, and needs 2 operators to maintain and fire.

GM Notes: Due to the way these ranged weapons work, Ballista, Catapults, Mangonel, and Cannons all follow a

Scatter Mechanic. When one of these weapons fires at a target who is at more than half their range, these

weapons deviate from the targeted area. Roll 1d8 to determine direction, and 1d6+1 to determine distance of the

deviation.

Campaign Ideas

The following are a series of ideas for campaigns or adventures that you might use in one of

these settings. Feel free to use or alter them as you see fit to get the right feel for your campaign.

The Heroes of Light

Each of the players wakes up with an orb in his or her hand of a different color. Whether they

keep it secret or not, the king begins hunting down anyone who holds an orb. When he finds

them, he pronounces them The Warriors of Light, and sends them on on a quest to stop the

Dark Knight who has kidnapped the Princess.

Trouble in the Coliseum

When running this campaign, each of the players should have been convicted of a crime in their

backstory. The players find themselves in a coliseum. The main event? Them. Can they escape

this jail to freedom, or will they fight together and rise in the ranks?

A World of No Poke Balls

Your campaign world functions in a way that humans do not peacefully co-exist with Pokemon.

Your characters are forced to survive in a world where they cannot use magical spheres to call

on monsters for help- suddenly, that wild Tauros looks much more threatening...

Sky Pirates

In this setting, either via mechanical or magical means, airships sail the skies. Naturally, this

means there will be pirates about, sailing the skies for precious booty. Your players have, for one

reason or another, created or joined a crew, and seek out treasures near and far.

The Black Fog

A group of Mediums have been enacting some shady activity in the local city. When the players

investigate, it turns out they have been working to summon thier God, a giant, soul-sucking

Haunter called The Black Fog. A successful summoning could spell doom for the kingdom.

Runic Investigators

The players are asked to investigate some nearby ruins and bring back information regarding the

glyphs and runes that are located there- its far too perilous to bring a normal researcher along.

This being said, the ruins are filled with all sorts of traps, and the runes on the wall seem to

follow you wherever you go...

Barrier Maintenance

Smaller Towns are protected from wild Pokemon by magical barriers that only allow humans to

pass through them. It seems one town accidentally hired a thief to repair theirs hes made off

with the magical core of the device! Track him down and return the barrier to its rightful owners.
