Tier 1 For Everyone: The Deeds

[Ziegander]

Active & Passive Deeds
When a character uses an Active Deed, he or she expends action points as normal; however a Passive Deed works somewhat differently. Passive Deeds seldom require an action to use (though some do). When a character chooses to use a Passive Deed, he or she continues to benefit from that Deed's effects until it is dismissed. He or she expends the required action points to begin a Passive Deed's effects and until the Deed is dismissed his or her maximum AP value is reduced by the Deed's cost, prohibiting the recovery of AP beyond the new, reduced total. A character can reduce his or her maximum AP to 0 in this manner if he or she wishes, but not lower.

Deeds & Saving Throw DCs
The saving throw of a Deed is determined as 10 + 1/2 class level + relevant ability score modifier. The relevant ability score modifier can vary based on the exact Deed used as follows:


Strength modifier for any Deed involving a melee attack or opposed Strength check.
Constitution modifier for any Deed involving a Strength, Constitution, or Dexterity based skill check, or when specifically noted.
Dexterity modifier for any Deed involving a ranged attack or opposed Dexterity check. You may also use your Dexterity modifier when using a Deed involving a melee attack if you possess the Weapon Finesse feat, or a similar ability.
Intelligence modifier for any Deed involving an Intelligence based skill check, or for any Deed that doesn't involve any of the above if Intelligence is your highest ability score among Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Wisdom modifier for any Deed involving a Wisdom based skill check, or for any Deed that doesn't involve any of the above if Wisdom is your highest ability score among Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Charisma modifier for any Deed involving a Charisma based skill check, or for any Deed that doesn't involve any of the above if Charisma is your highest ability score among Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
If a Deed involves more than one of the above, you may choose which of the appropriate ability score modifiers to use to determine the Deed's save DC.
Finally, a Deed may specify in its description an ability score for its save DC to be based on.

What is the purpose of this thread? Why have you made this seperate from your other one? Is this to make Deeds accessible to literally everyone, by taking feats or some other way? Is this thread so that anyone can create Deeds to contribute to this project?

What is the purpose of this thread? Why have you made this seperate from your other one? Is this to make Deeds accessible to literally everyone, by taking feats or some other way? Is this thread so that anyone can create Deeds to contribute to this project?

This thread is made separate from the other one because I didn't save myself enough space for all of the Deeds that I will want/need to create, and to make the layout for the Deeds cleaner than I could in the limited space of the other thread.

Making Deeds available to everyone isn't a goal of the project at the moment, but is something I may think about once the core is done.

As far as anyone creating Deeds to contribute? I would absolutely love it.

Nobody's Puppet
GREAT DEED (Active)
Cost 1 AP
Classes: Fighter, Ranger, Rogue
Action: Special (See Text)
Target: Self

The true hero is a bastion of self-control and insurmountable willpower, and even when compelled to take actions that are not his own, he can muster up the ability to keep a regain of his free will.

While the fighter is under the effect of anything that either forces him to take a certain action or constrains his actions* he can wrest back temporary control. At the start of the third round and every third round there after while he is being effected by one of the above effects he may take back control and act as he wishes for that round. Once you start your next turn, you lose your free will again and must act as dictated by the effect. This costs no action to do and may be done whether or not such an choice could normally be made.

*(This includes effects such as the control Gate imparts, or magically bound contracts such as planar binding. It also includes mind-affecting effects and fear effects but only those that either prevent actions or compel actions to be taken. It does not include methods of stunning, slowing or impeding that come from sources not listed above.)

Edit for clarification: You may pay the AP cost at any time during the effect, but it only helps you every third round (measured from the beginning of the effect) regardless of when you pay. You can pay even after the third round has passed, you simply gain the effect at the next possible round.


I made this because a common element in heroic fiction is that heroes that are effected by mind-control and other such abilities often succumb at first, but manage to wrest back enough control to take one or more dramatic actions that resolves the issue.

Feel free to borrow Deeds from my Legend and Myth classes.

Also, I suggest making a few example Deeds of each level, so that other contributors can have an idea of the power level you're talking about.

I would make the fatigue on animalistic rage last a number of rounds equal to the number you raged, instead of having it last the encounter. It won't make it much less useful (since your rage is over when the fight is over, basically) and will feel less dissociative.

Yes, I agree. That's just a copypasta error. Thank you!

I don't know what happened to these posts, but I didn't see them until now. When I replied to Just to Browse they didn't show up for me...

I think this would be simpler, and more useful, as a Deed that simply lets the character roll a new saving throw against an effect as a, what, standard action? Swift action? Immediate action?

Thanks! I will take a look.

Definitely a great idea. I was trying to hammer out all of the GREAT deeds at the moment, but I should put up at least one deed of each type for each level.


Unbreakable body
Impossible deed
Cost: 12 AP
Classes: Fighter, Ranger
Action: Immediate
Target: Self
Durration: Instant
Description: When the fighter or ranger would be reduced to or below 0 HP for any reason, instead roll a fortitude save (DC 10+1/8 the damage dealt (this is not damage rolled, but damage being dealt to the fighter/ ranger, maximum damage = maximum fighter/ ranger's health)). If he succeeds, negate all damage and secondary effects of the damage source.

Let's not beat around the bush. 12 AP, immediate action, negate all damage/death effects and any other riders from any single attack, ability, or effect, even if that effect is natural in origin. This is IMPOSSIBLE stuff. On par with 9th level spells. It's gotta be big and flashy and breaking the laws of physics. :)


Sealing strike
Impossible deed
Cost: 12 AP
Classes: All
Action: Standard
Target: Attack target
Duration: Permanent
Description: As a standard action, the character may use this deed to penetrate all magical and supernatural abilities of the target for one attack. If this attack hits, the target must make a fortitude save (DC 10+1/2 character level+relevant attack stat) or have all supernatural and spell like abilities they possess sealed away. This includes any ability to actually cast spells. This condition will persist until the target receives healing in the form of Greater Restoration, Wish or Miracle. This condition persists even if the target is slain and revived or raised, though not if they are revived with True Resurrection.

This might actually even be more like a Legendary Deed. The power and scope of Impossible combat deeds needs to be pretty outrageous.


Silver tongued devil
Impossible deed
Cost: 12 AP
Class: Rogue
Action: Full round
Target: 30x30 area
Duration: Permanent
Description: Even in the midst of battle, the most skilled rogues may convince those who would cause them harm to turn their blade and a blind eye. Targeting all hostile creatures in a 30x30 area, the rogue may make a diplomacy check at a +20 bonus to improve their reaction to himself and his party. To use this deed, the rogue must speak a language of his targets, and his targets must have at least 3 intelligence. The results of this reaction shift last until the rogue or party acts in a way to either improve or harm an NPC's reaction, as per normal diplomacy rules. This deed can affect Outsiders with an opposing alignment (Good->Evil or Lawful->Chaotic) and undead, though only at a +5 bonus.

Might call this one Legendary as well, maybe with a bit of a smaller power scale. The effect is certainly one that is theoretically possible, right?


Body of the Gods (passive)
Impossible deed
Cost: 12 AP
Class: All
Action: Free
Duration: Dismissal
Description: The character, through their experiences and their abilities, has figured out how to improve themselves in every possible way, from the strength of their arm to their quickness of wit and force of personality, this individual personifies the perfect renaissance man, standing leaps and bounds above all of his comrades. All of his attributes gain a +4 inherent bonus until this deed is dismissed. This bonus will stack with any relevant item bonuses.

I would increase the inherent bonus to +5, but even then, this perhaps might be Legendary, or maybe even Heroic with scaling by level. It's certainly potent, but it isn't the most impressive ability in the world. Training one's body and mind is what Heroes do after all when they need to compete with the world's villains.

EDIT: Something I do need help with is ideas for Exploration and Social themed Deeds of all levels. The thought here is a sort of rock/paper/scissors between the Fighter, Ranger, and Rogue. They are all capable of deeds of all of the types, but they range in effectiveness/variety by class:

Fighter: Best at Combat deeds, solid Social deeds, least capable with Exploration deeds.

Ranger: Best at Exploration deeds, solid Combat deeds, least capable with Social deeds.

Rogue: Best at Social deeds, solid Exploration deeds, least capable with Combat deeds.

[Amechra]

Yeah, I think a Permanent one looks more like:

Mass Murder Refrain
IMPOSSIBLE DEED (Passive)
Cost: 12 AP
Classes: Fighter
Action: Full-Round Action
Target: Special
Effect: MURDER

Once per round, when you kill or destroy a creature with a melee attack, you may immediately move up to your speed and activate any Active Deed with a Standard-action activation time.

In addition, each time you kill or destroy a creature, you gain six temporary AP that are lost at the end of this round.

[Afool]

Hmmm, well for a social deed one could allow for the target to let slip something that the character was trying to get from them (a bit of infotmation, the secret code to a hide out, etc) without the target realizing (or delaying the realization) that they had given up the information.

And a stance for exploration could boost spot and listen checks, or provide enhanced visions (low-light, dark, heat, etc.).

[Yakk]

Screw that rock paper scissors plan. That is just an excuse to gimp characters.

Instead, find a flavor detail.

Fighter's social deeds involve being a champion/veteran/hero type thing (or the evil equivalent). They can inspire people to follow them or pledge allegiance to them, especially after they do something to help them (ie, save a town from some foes, use a deed, and the town allies with you). Even on targets it doesn't work on immediately (royalty at low levels, for example), your deeds can gain allegiance from their followers (so the king might not swear fealty to you, but the soldiers and grunts can start liking you more than they like the king). At higher levels, the power level of those you can convince to become your allies and swear fealty to you increase.

Rangers, we can tie their social deeds to either nature (additional animal companions? Why not!) or to their favored enemy subsystem (the enemy of my enemy is my friend -- if you are an orc-hunter, you can convince those who also dislike orcs into befriending you) reputation wise. Distinguishing it from the Fighter one above is tricky.

We could also give Rangers some "mysterious background" deeds, where you discover/know you are the "rightful" heir to some throne or something (inspired by Aragon), and you use this to change people's reactions.

Rogues can have the social trickster deeds down pat.

---

Exploration, feats of strength can produce a whole pile of deeds for the Fighter. Tactics and strategy can also produce some exploration deeds (being able to determine enemy distribution of foes without having to actually find them by working out where they must be based on what you have seen) that can be nearly unbounded in power.

The Ranger has that entire explorer/nature thing going for them. Knowing how to get places -- even knowing how to find natural gates between planes, being able to avoid interception.

The Rogue has their entire trap subsystem going for them.

All of them can have impressive jump/climb/run/ride type deeds.

---

In combat, we have the trickster Rogue, the light skirmisher Ranger, and the brutal Fighter. All three can be quite strong, and need not overlap that much.

---

Steal liberally from 4e for inspiration for deeds, especially in-combat ones. It will only help you for the first half dozen to dozen levels (when 3es power level surpasses even level 30 4e), but the three classes have abilities that are effective in combat yet are usually quite distinct in style. (There is some fuzzing of the difference, like the Tempest fighter vs melee Ranger). Naturally, pick the less boring ones ("hit hard" is boring, as is "hit more times")

Hence the specific mentioning of Vengeful Gaze of God... which basically just states "Everyone dies!" :smalltongue: Surviving it, for most non-munchkins, is basically impossible.


This might actually even be more like a Legendary Deed. The power and scope of Impossible combat deeds needs to be pretty outrageous.
I was actually thinking the same thing, though the fact that it is permanent restriction from magic/ supernatural stuff and not based on rounds, minutes or hours would put it somewhere around a level 7-8 spell.

Actually, diplomacy with undead is absolutely NOT possible, and in combat you generally get somewhere around a -10 (DC wise or circumstance wise, depending on most DM interpretations) to diplomacy, generally making the skill useless. With the +20 and the fact that you are influencing every single target in the area at once, you have an assured bump up to at least "aggressive", and if you actually spent points on diplomacy by this level, you can easily make a hostile enemy neutral or friendly to the entire party... generally, diplomacy only changes their reaction to you. So with this deed, you would be convincing a troop of the BBEG's most loyal royal guardsmen to stop in the middle of the battle and then join your side against him... for free. And they would remain on your side until they were slain or until your party decides to attack them first. Generally, that's area of effect mind control level stuff right there... closer to level 9 than one might think. Now remember that you can also do this to undead, a race that diplomacy is allowed against under only the rarest of circumstances anyway, and you are getting a +5 to your check. In the middle of combat.

If you classify that as a legendary deed, then I shudder to think of what a rogue's Impossible deeds can do. Speech craft... is rather potent. Heck, a rogue might even be able to talk a field of soldiers back from the dead, if you really think we need to go to the impossible. O_o


I would increase the inherent bonus to +5, but even then, this perhaps might be Legendary, or maybe even Heroic with scaling by level. It's certainly potent, but it isn't the most impressive ability in the world. Training one's body and mind is what Heroes do after all when they need to compete with the world's villains.

True, though a +5/ +6 is Gokku-level power training. Remember that over the course of 20 levels a fighter/ ranger/ rogue can only gain 5 points to spend to ONE stat, this gives that 20 level progression (possibly 24) to ALL stats at the same time, and that bonus can still be enchanted by spells, items, natural progression, etc. So while it isn't big or flashy, the power scale itself would fit an impossible deed, especially because the boost is permanent (it's passive after all) and there is no way to actually remove it unless one was invented to disable all deeds. So either +5 or +6... since this is impossible level, I would go with +6. Just to really stick it to all those casting classes that need to spend 6 spells a day to reach the same effect. :smalltongue:

Possible Deed ideas:
Rogues should be able to steal things like voices or "steal" the heart of someone to make the person love them.
Negating fall damage, possibly creating a crater
Getting blindsense or blindsight by closing your eyes, then get it even when ur eyes aren't closed
Place your hand on a wall to get tremorsense through it
Swinging a weapon or your fist so fast the friction causes it to deal fire damage.
I didn't see wall running... Don't know if I missed it or not....
Running so fast it superheats the ground
Something so you can do this:

Having tea with a monk, he [batman] reflexively swapped cups, assuming his was poisoned (it was). In the time it took the monk to blink.
and this

She [batgirl] can dodge bullets she can't hear or see being fired from, perhaps, miles away.
and this

Thrown a Batarang at a target and then changed her [batgirl] mind and outran her own Batarang to reach the target first.

Frans Rayner from The Adventures of Dr. McNinja was able to completely change his physiology, moving his pressure points to make himself a better ninja, just by training hard enough.

According to the comic, the greatest master of this was Bruce Lee, whose final act of body mastery was jumping to the moon.

Paramedics and Emergency Physicians are capable of saving people whose hearts aren't beating or who have taken bullets to the brain only through insane amounts of training and experience.
