I really like the structure and concept of leveled treasures---a weapon that advances with you is cool---but I felt like the options presented in the heroes book weren't pushing the idea far enough. Specifically, I didn't like that there were so few science fantasy or culture-specific treasures.

So, here are a handful of leveled treasures from higher-manifold cultures. Bad Intentions is what I imagine a Time Raider captain might wield when performing boarding actions, while Asharii's Law is a modified version of what I think UNISOL rifles could look like, and Lucidity is alien artwork.

These were initially designed for the Bravo, so they're also meant to bring a bit of stylish combo-play into your characters by shifting their budget into powerful maneuvers instead of passives.

There'll be 9 more treasures like the ones above included in the Bravo's documents, so if you like these or are a fan of action games like Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising, or Vanquish, check it here:

Howdy, a couple of weeks ago I announced here that the Bravo (a stylish, combo-based class) was going to backerkit. Now its campaign is live!

If you back, you'll get:

• The full class, which is already done from levels 1-10 (and recently got an update that you can preview here)
• 6 leveled treasures
• A retainer
• and rival for each echelon

^(Note that there's a $1 tier for unlocking the pledge manager post-campaign if you want the bravo but can't afford it at this moment.)

You'll also get any unlocked stretchgoals, which will include:

• 6 more leveled treasures
• A custom character sheet and printable ability cards with combo tags
• 3 complications and a backstory creator
• 4 trinkets and a mythic treasure
• and possibly codex implementation

Back within the first 48 hours to get a solo combat tutorial packet, which includes 3 new 1st-level monsters and 2 new DTOs, for free.

^(This tutorial packet is still available after this time period elapsed for $5 instead of being free, so think of it as a timed discount rather than an exclusive offer.)

Howdy, over the past ~7 months I've been working on and playtesting the Bravo: a master-class with a focus on combo-based action, mixing martial and magical abilities, and fighting with style.

It drops heroic abilities in favor of allowing you to spend Impulse (your HR) to chain together signature main actions, has a unique Stylish condition that empowers your abilities, and uses consistent off-turn movement to replicate the feel of the character-action games that inspire it, like Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

If that sounds interesting, you can follow it on this teaser page to get a 1st-Echelon preview of the class alongside a free solo tutorial packet if you pledge once it goes live:
