GLOG Class: So I'm participating in making curses-as-class!

So I just realized most of my posts start with the word, "so". So that's a thing. So anyways, uhhh I think it was Micah who suggested the idea or something. So basically when you get cursed, for whatever reason, it overwrites your highest template with the first template of the curse. So if you're a Spider-Man 3 (the best Spider-Man) and you come down with wherewolfism, you're now only a far inferior Spider-Man 2, but you're also a Spatially Uncertain Wolf 1. So now, if your Spider-Wolf wants to stop being a wherewolf, they can get uncursed through whatever means and get their normal levels back, but otherwise they're stuck with the curse. So until then, if they choose to level up, they can only level up in the curse. So uhhh I'm not sure if this is part of the basic concept or whatever but this is how I'd run it: if you'd level up, and you already have 4 templates, you can overwrite your highest non-curse template with the next template of the curse

So anyways, with that out of the way, I decided to create a self insert class. So without further ado, this is my curse, my burden to bear.

So this looks like one of those dudes from Earthbound

Class: Skablin

Starting Equipment: oh wait nevermind

A: Sell Out

B: Time Bomb

C: Pressure Drop

D: Niviru

Sell Out

It's slow at first, but unmistakable. You've been cursed, and are turning into a creature known to many as a skablin. Thankfully, the curse hasn't yet progressed far, and people still recognize the songs you play on your phone in public. Max volume no headphones. Anyways, the power of the skablin grants you boons at a cost:

• Your hair morphs into a new shape. You now appear to be wearing a trilby at all times. You cannot take it off, for it is a part of you. If you shave your trilby-hair, it grows back in seconds.
• If there's music playing that accentuates the off-beats, you must skank unless you succeed on a a save. While skanking you gain a +2 to your defense. You can still attack while skanking, but only by kicking. If music is playing that doesn't accentuate the off-beats, you can still try to skank, but must roll under your Dexterity for each round you spend skanking.
• You must save to avoid talking at length about your curse whenever the topic of music comes up.
• You can use brasswinds as if they were weapons of similar size.

Time Bomb

Your tastes have evolved slightly. When you mention your favorite bands, you're more likely to draw blank stares than anything else, although sometimes the unconverted recognize a song or two after you sing it poorly. You've become a bit more hardcore as well, and have developed a few traits reminiscent of the skincubus.

• You gain a +1 to your attack and damage if you've been attacked in the past turn.
• You cannot be charmed through magical means, and have advantage or something to any rolls made to see through illusions.
• You gain a +1 to attacking fascists, but must save to avoid doing so given the opportunity.
• You begin to grow roots from your skin all over your body.

Pressure Drop

You've become a full skablin. You shouldn't even bother bringing up your favorite band, considering most of the people you associate with weren't even alive yet when they last played, but you do so anyways.

• Your roots weave together and harden to form a classy yet affordable black suit. It grants you defense as chain, but it's bulky enough that wearing something over it gives you disadvantage on Move and Attack rolls. It is a part of you, just like your trilby, and will grow back if removed (although the process of removing it would likely be quite painful so you probably shouldn't try to see what it's like).
• The hardened roots forming your shoes deal damage as if they were a longsword or something, but only if you're skanking.

Niviru

Good luck finding that song. You've evolved into the hyperskablin. Even other skablins shudder at the thought of talking to you about music.

• Your body becomes covered completely in gnarled roots, although your suit and trilby are still clearly recognizable.
• You no longer require music to skank.
• You know that Streetlight Manifesto isn't actually ska.
• You can ughhh why am I still awake
• Seriously this is the second time this week I've gone over 48 hours without sleep.
• What the hell.
• Ok ok I'll finish this up.
• You can pass on your curse to others by forcing them to listen to ska music (or listen to you talk about ska music) for 8 hours straight.

Fuck me this is a piece of shit.

uhhh so like you can contract skaliosis from various things like wizard spells and shit like that, you don't have to be inducted by a hyperskablin. maybe you accidentally put on a cursed record, or you accidentally snorted too much of a wizard's Leftover Crack

wait do you snort crack?

is that how you do it?

fuck i dunno. whatever that's enough blugh goodbye
