    Default Percy Jackson [3.P subsystem]

    Percy Jackson System

    So, my friend’s running a Percy Jackson themed campaign., using 3.5 rules as the basis for it. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know 3.5 that well, so for a while, instead of class abilities we just had the chassis of a class and a semi-appropriate set of spell-like abilities of all different levels. So, I volunteered my services to make a set of classes for the game. In the end, I made classes for four of the five players (the fifth made his own). Now, with a little urging from friends, I’ve decided to post them up for you guys.

    This thread is mostly just a place to link to all the separate classes, so you only need to bookmark the one thread. I’ll also use it to post some notes about the overall system, too.

    Classes
    Child of Athena
    Child of Aphrodite
    Child of Apollo
    Child of Ares
    Child of Heracles

    Equipment
    The weapons and armor listed here are the most common and traditional sorts of weapons and armors that demigods get trained with. These are all easily available in celestial bronze or imperial gold. It is possible to get other weapons and armor, but they usually must be forged specially.

    Weapons
    Dagger
    Cestus (gauntlet, regular or spiked)
    Club
    Shortspear
    Longspear
    Spear
    Sling
    Shortsword
    Longsword
    Scimitar
    Trident
    Longbow
    Shortbow

    Armor
    Leather
    Chain shirt
    Scale Mail
    Breastplate
    Buckler
    Light Shield
    Heavy Shield
    Tower Shield

    Magic Items
    In this world, magic items are both uncommon and powerful. A single magical item can change the course of an entire adventure. As such, most characters have one permanent magical item, often a weapon or piece of armor, and other items may be provided by the DM on a temporary basis.
