GLOG Class: Skaven

So someone asked if there was a Skaven class for GLOG. And I was like "WTF is a Skaven" but then I looked it up and I did in fact know what a Skaven was. So here it is.

It has been over a year since I started this class.

I don't think this is what the song's about.

Class: Skaven-as-Class

You start with 4000 gold in student loan debt to the Rat Mafia and a diploma.

Useless Degree
1-2: History of Backstabbing - Start with a Dedicated Backstabbing Knife (2d6 damage against unaware targets, 1d2 against aware targets) and ratty clothes.
3-4: Blood Calligraphy - Start with a Blood Siphon (1d6 damage, fills a chamber with "ink" each time it hits a target that bleeds) and ratty clothes.
5-6: Game Development - Start with a typewriter (1d6 damage, allows you to write legibly) and ratty clothes.

Abilities:
1: Debt, Connections, +2 STEALTH
2: Distance Learning
3: Connections II, +2 STEALTH
4: General Education, +2 STEALTH

Debt
While you still have student loan debt, every time you return to civilization after an expedition you must roll 1d20. Either pay that much of your debt (you can pay more, if you wish) or increase your debt by that much and roll 1d4 on the following table to determine what the mafia does.
  1. They let you off with a warning, such as a sack full of headless rats somewhere you don't expect.
  2. A random piece of food you acquire has a nonlethal poison. They'll let you know afterwards that it was them.
  3. They send a couple weak enforcers to rough you up.
  4. They send a couple strong enforcers to rough you up.
Connections
Once per proper conundrum, roll 1d20. On a 10 or below, you know the location of someone from college who might be able to help. You heard they got a job in a relevant field. On a 7 or below, they're nearby. On a 5 or below they don't hate you that much, and won't charge a high price for their help.

Distance Learning
Gain a level in another class as your correspondence courses pay off.

Connections II
If you've survived this long, that means you've either paid the Rat Mafia a decent amount of money or survived a decent amount of harassment from them. Either way, they're impressed. Just about any settlement will have a dank place where you can find an agent and ask for a favor in exchange for increasing your debt by 4d20.

General Education
You finally gain an elevated understanding of your general education requirements. You can understand any language. You can smell magic, and identify magical effects by taste. You can count the number of items in a group, or estimate the volume of a container, in at most 2 seconds. So long as the target is fully stationary and within 70 feet, you have perfect accuracy with missiles. You have surface-level understanding of any history which is public knowledge. If they exist, you can add or subtract 1 from reaction rolls.
