Embodied Classes

I was planning on making individual posts for each of these, but after writing up The Icon, I realized they work better as one multi-class post instead.

All Embodied classes start with a Second Self, an alternate form they can inhabit. Each class implements it differently (appearance, activation criteria, duration, etc.), but share the following rules:
  • You only have the Second Self of the first Embodied class you take.
  • Abilities from all Embodied classes only apply while you inhabit your Second Self.

Variable Threat and NPC Statblocks

I've already nailed down how PCs take damage in my GloGhack, but I didn't really know how that damage was dealt or how NPC stats even looked until now. Much of this comes Portal's GLoD (and its inspiration, Blades in the Dark), and I'm sure it'll be adjusted after further reflection and playtesting, but I'm happy enough with where it's at to make it into a post.
