This character adds a very unique new flavor to Eat the Reich. The new abilities seem pretty fun. I like how a lot of Bobby's abilities are based on forgetfulness, which then climaxes with him remembering everything for his last stand.
I like the character concept a lot. I think you executed well. I particularly like the Oh, There It Is & the "Ah, The Help Has Arrived" abilities. They feel useful mechanically and they add some levity to the character without sacrificing the tone of the game. Great stuff!
The art is phenomenal, and the character does some really fun and interesting stuff. Adding more characters to EtR is a noble goal that I will always support whole-heartedly! I hope you continue creating more in this vein.
Love it! I dig the use of the Black Stone in the equipment to just gain blood. I don't recall seeing a use like that before. Also, this is a character that I would 100% try to get to the Last Stand just to have him remember. Great art work as well!
Art looks great! Love the thematic elements, all really well done. Will for sure be adding this to my EtR sheets when I run games.
Couple notes:
Could you add boxes to the Loot on the text-only sheet? Or a number to indicate how many uses?
"Wrath of the God King" feels a little costly. I wouldn't want to spend a blood in the hopes that I roll a 6. Maybe nix the blood cost since it's only useful vs Ubermenschen? Could always drop the damage to 3 if you're worried about it doing too much.
First of all thank you for the ideas and thoughts.
I have had the character just recently in one of my games and will revise the sheet in the next days.
Which then will bring me back to the skills and advances mainly.
Then i surely will rethink especially some of the advances regarding cost and usefulness.
I will post an update, when that process is done.
Thank you :)
maybe a tad underpowered, but that’s what you want from homebrew
Based upon a story that played out in my first playthrough of Eat The Reich as a player i here present Bobby aka Nekharis the Eternal. A once ny omnipotent vampire pharaoh, now senile old man clothed in royal regalia and wrapped in ancient magic.
I had the artwork done quite some time ago, but the Havoc Jam finally motivated me to do a playable first version of the character as an addition to all future Eat The Reich Games i may host.
Bobby as a concept intertwines the might of an ancient king and necromancer that perhaps inspired the tales of the plagues with the whimsical antics of a senile old man awoken after thousands of years of sleep.
Have fun and feel free to offer constructive criticism and ideas to further develop the character.
Include here is the high res png image i made from my master file and pdf file with the artwork and text file.
It's Awesome, that this Jam got you motivated to finish this. I Absolutely love it. Great artwork, cool character, looks like it is fun to play. Will definitely print it to try this out.
