Monty Python (d20)

[MostlyHarmless]

So...I've seen some threads about individual things from Monty Python, but I've tossed around in my head what it might take to forge a whole MP system for gameplay of absolute silliness.

What would the base classes be? Old Lady (in drag), Bruce, Kniggit, Repressed Peasant?

I know there would be some skills like: Silly Walk, Ride Coconut Horse, others?

Spell: Cartoon Foot. When cast, a giant cartoon foot descends from on high and squashes the intended target, no save.

Bring on the silliness.

[Porthos]

Gumby [Humanoid]
"My Brain Hurts"

+2 STR
-4 INT
-4 WIS
-1 Level Adjustment
Advancement: By class
Favored Class: Any
Alignment: Any

These unfortunate wretches are an offshoot of Humanity. Barely able to communicate basic thoughts, they are nonetheless quite resilient and adaptable and are found in every society where large amounts of Humans congregate. They are instantly recognized by their speech patterns and manner of dress.

Often shunned in polite society, due to their unfortunate gait and their aforementioned language problems, they are actually quite harmless, if a bit anti-social at times. Interestingly enough, however, Town Criers, Newspaper Guildsmen, and other people seeking information from "the common man", find the Gumbies quite fascinating, and will seek to find out their views on just about any subject imaginable.

They are also easily distracted and in stressful situations (like explaining something of importance to a non-Gumby) must make a DC 20 Will Save to remember what they were just doing. Should a Gumby fail their save, they will be dazed for 1d4 rounds, and will look down at their feet (or some similar action), trying to ponder what it was they were thinking about.

At the end of that period, a Gumby can make another attempt to remember what they were doing (this time a DC 15 Will Save). If they make the Save, they will continue as if nothing had happened to make them pause. If they fail this second save, the Gumby will proceed to do something entirely different.

The Headdress of the Gumby
"No, no, no! My brain in my head!"

It is unknown how The Headdress of the Gumby was created (a drunken sorcerer is often blamed), but it's affect is undeniable. Looking like a set of ordinary, if odd clothing accessories, The Headdress of the Gumby is actually a powerfully cursed magic item. Should a character attempt to wear one of the accessories (which are a pair of gloves, a pair of glasses, a fake mustache, and a handkerchief), he must immediately make a DC 20 Will Save, or feel compelled to put on the next accessory.

For each item the character puts on (including the first one), he must immediately subtract both a point of Intelligence and Wisdom. If a character fails his save and puts on another piece of the Headdress of the Gumby, he must also succeed a DC 20 Will Save, or be compelled to continue to put on the accessories. As he puts on the accessories, he will find himself get stronger (+1 STR for the second piece and another +1 for the final piece, which is always the handkerchief - but worn over the head) and speaking more and more like a Gumby. After the final piece has been put on, his race will instantly change to Gumby. If a Remove Curse is preformed on the handkerchief within 24 hours, the character can try to make a Will Save (DC 20) to remove The Headdress of the Gumby, and revert to his base creature.

If the Remove Curse fails, a second (and final) attempt can be made in another month. A Miracle or Wish spell, however, will always allow the character to remove the Headdress, should he wish it.

Additionally when all of the items are put on the character will get a +2 bonus (revulsion) to their AC.

NOTE: If a character successfully makes either a Knowledge (Arcana) check (DC 25) or Bardic Knowledge Check (DC 25), they will be able to recognize the cursed item for what it truly is. Should a character try to Identify the Headdress of the Gumby, the only affect that will be identified is the +2 bonus to AC.

-----------------

This is just a stab at trying to recreate the Gumbies. And (probably) a pretty poor one at that. But if someone wants to clean it up/enhance it/radically rework it, please feel free. Besides, it's late at night, and yes, my brain hurts!

Three pythonesque feats for your reading pleasure

Counter-Fruit Tactics (Fresh)[GENERAL]
You are adept at defending yourself against anyone attacking you with fresh fruit.
Prerequisites: Weapon Proficiency: Fresh Fruit
Benefits: This feat gives you five (three sir) three new weapon proficiencies, especially useful for defending against anyone armed with fresh fruit. They include Simple Weapon Proficiency (Gun), Martial Weapon Proficiency (16 ton weight) and Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Tiger). This feat also allows you to use the feat disarm against anyone armed with fresh fruit, as long as they are dead.
Normal: You wouldn't be able to defend yourself against fresh fruit, that's what would happen without this feat!
Special: This feat is ineffective if fighting against anyone armed with a pointed stick.

Invisible [General]
You are so incredibly dull and boring that people don't notice you. Not even your wife or the people at work.
Prerequisites: Charisma 3 or less
Benefits: As long as you don't do anything interesting (and with a personality like that, you probably won't) you are considered constantly affected by the spell improved invisibility at a caster level equal to your character level. This effect is not magical, and cannot be dispelled, although True Seeing and similar effects reveals your presence (though you will still probably be ignored, you dull bastard). As an added benefit, this feat also grants you a +2 bonus to profession (Chartered accountant) checks.
Normal: You're completely normal, and don't get to appear on television.

Upper class Twit [GENERAL]
Even though you are incredibly stupid, incompetent and awful, you earn extraordinary amounts of cash, without having to work for it.
Prerequisites: No ability score higher than 8
Benefits: Each day you gain a number of gp equal to half your xp total from stock, work you don't have to do or similar exploits. As an added benefit, having this feat makes you applicable for The Upper class Twit of the Year Show.
Normal: Well, at least you ain't a twit.
Special: If you ever use any of the money earned from this feat for anything else than hosting parties, spoiling women or similar twitty behaviour, you lose the benefit of it for one month.
