Ghostbusters Equipment for the d20 System

Image
A few years ago, I came up with an crossover involving the Ghostbusters and Doctor Strange .  I have been batting this equipment around for a couple of years now as part of the first draft for Earth-218 but haven't put it to use yet. However, the original Ghostbusters RPG had the "Ghost Die". Whenever a character performs a Ghostbuster-related task, the Ghost Die must be rolled (a d6 can be substituted with a "6" representing the ghost if necessary).  If the Ghost comes up, Something Bad Has Happened.  This can range from something mildly annoying (if the task was successful) to something really embarrassing or dangerous (if the task failed).

The Priest (Alternate Class)

Image
The Priest Character Class is for use in the Western campaign that I intend to run.  While magic exists in that world , I do not want to include a class that is strong in healing magic so the historical aspect of the setting remains a bit more "Gritty" than my regular D&D campaign . THE PRIEST The Priest is a spiritual leader of the masses, directing the faith of worship of God. Adventures: Priests conduct masses, deliver sermons, and guide the faithful through troubled times. They investigate miracles and heresies while suppressing knowledge of the supernatural. Characteristics: A Priest uses the teachings of his faith and his ability to communicate his faith to others to accomplish his goals. Alignment: The majority of Priests are generally of Good alignment. Religion: Priests are members of the Catholic Church. Background: A Priest attends seminary, seeking a formal education in matters of religion. Those who show promise and discretion are recruited by ...

Day Five of the Odinsleep (It Can't Be THIS Easy, Can It?)

Image
Day Five of the Odinsleep; 12 pm (Noon) Kysek climbs a nearby tree where he can watch the path while still remaining hidden. He calls his owl familiar, Bubo, to his side, instructing the bird to keep a keen watch and to alert him if any unexpected visitors begin to draw near to the camp. He then pulls forth the Tome he acquired in the house of Myrlund and continues to study. The pages, all filled with 1's and 0's, swim before his eyes but as he continues to read, the pattern of numbers take shape, forming words and revealing secrets previously unknown. Cedron gives Raven a once over after expending three scrolls of healing upon the elven warrior. “UGH! That would have brought to life three normal men. I've forgotten you're lock a block of granite. Hard to break, and even harder to put together. I either heal ya' now, or bury ya' later. I prefer the healing. Let me see those other two scrolls.” The cleric reads off his prayers, pouring more energy into m...

Day Five of the Odinsleep (Scouting Ahead)

Image
Day Five of the Odinsleep; 12 pm (Noon) As the group lands and dismounts, Grotto notices that Raven was also injured in the battle against the spike-covered machines.   Grotto recommends setting up camp for the night so the group can heal and regain spells.   Kysek nods in turn, seeing wisdom in the dwarf’s words, “Replenishing spells and healing makes sense; especially since we know not what are about to face.” Raven shakes his head in disagreement, “Camping on Loki’s front door seems like a good way to get killed before we reach our objective.”   Shadow nods.   “Better to press on before we are discovered napping on the job.”   The drow peers up the path, his eyes scanning for guards lurking along the trail or patrolling at the top of the cliff.   “We may be better served by pressing onward despite the risk.” Cedron weighs the two points of view before finally speaking, “Raven is right.   We’d be an easy target for a god or anything else guar...
