3.5 Class/System: The Cardcaller (Based on Lost Kingdoms)

Disclaimer: I, the person known here as Lix Lorn, claim no ownership of any character, background, or any other part of the game Lost Kingdoms, which I heartily recommend anyone with a Gamecube or Wii get hold of. Neither do I own d&d. I do however own this combination of the two.

Cardcaller

"This is not a game, and I do not gamble."

A Cardcaller is an adherent to an ancient form of magic from the kingdom of Argwyll. Rather than learning and using spells, their powers are represented in physical form as cards. By invoking these cards, they summon a monster to aid them, or take on its form to strike their foe.

Abilities: A Cardcaller primarily relies upon Wisdom, as it determines save DCs, as well as some damaging effects. Intelligence helps shore up their short skill list, and constitution improves their survivability.
Races: Most Cardcallers are human, as it originates from an area where few other races live.
Alignment: Cardcallers can be of any alignment, but the rules and structure of their magics make them lean to law. However, their reliance on the luck of the draw can mean that Chaotic beings find them equally as interesting.
Starting Gold: Same as a Wizard.
Starting Age: Same as a Wizard.

Class Skills
The Cardcaller's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Cardlore (Int), Concentration (Con, Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Forgery (Int), Knowledge (Arcana, Dungeoneering, Nature, the Planes, Religion) (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex) and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Weapon Proficiencies: A Cardcaller is proficient in light armour, no shields, and all simple weapons. They are also treated as proficient with any weapon that they call upon using a card.

Cardcalling (Su):
Background

Spoiler

Show

A Cardcaller's primary ability is to utilise powerful magical relics known as Cards. These items are intangible to those without a Runestone, or some other method of manipulating them, and many scholars theorise that the runestone, cards, and mana crystals are simply the Cardcaller's innate abilities manifesting to them.

Each Card depicts a strange monster, some similar to the beasts known to all, others unique to the lands of this peculiar brand of magic. All of them behave differently to those more commonly found. When activated, these cards can allow the user to take on the creatures form, whether for a moment, to make a quick attack, or for slightly longer, making a powerful strike. Others summon a monster like that on the card, to aid the Caller in battle.

Choosing Cards
A 1st level Cardcaller has four level 0 cards, plus a number of additional cards equal to her wisdom modifier (minimum one). These bonus cards can be additional Level 0 cards, including duplicates of those she already has, or may be 1st level cards.

At each level after 1st, the Cardcaller gains additional cards-they may have formed out of energy in their path, waiting to be found, or simply have materialised in their bag. Either way, at each level, a Cardcaller gains new cards equal to 1+their Wisdom modifier (minimum two). This number is increased as you level up. (See Enhanced Variety) These cards may be chosen from any level up to the maximum level, as seen in the table above. However, on the level you gain access to a new level of card, you may only choose up to one card of that level, and on the level AFTER you gain access to a new level of card, you may choose only up to three cards of that level.

The Hand and the Deck
A Cardcaller can only use a certain number of cards in any given time period. In the morning, a Cardcaller must spend at least half an hour choosing thirty cards from her collection to use that day. This collection, known as a 'deck' may contain any number of copies of a single card.

At any point, a Cardcaller may only use the first four cards in her deck. These top four cards are considered her 'Hand'. When you Call a card, it is discarded after its effect ends, unless it has additional uses remaining (for a weapon card) or remaining hit points (for an independent). If a card has more than one use, mark that one use is gone and leave it where it is, until it has no uses remaining. Then discard it as normal. If an independent has remaining hp after use, it's next use returns it with only that much hp.
When a card is discarded, remove it from the deck and randomly determine which card you draw next.
Some cards can add discarded cards back into your deck, in which case they are added back in and can be obtained as normal.

Sometimes, a Cardcaller may find herself with a hand that she cannot use. A Cardcaller may 'drop' a card she doesn't want. This is done at the beginning of your round. Dropping any number of cards is considered a free action. Any cards dropped are removed from your deck-but only until the end of the encounter. They retain the same position in the deck, but are considered used for this encounter, and so you may use the next cards on the list. At the END of any round in which you dropped cards, you may add the next cards in your deck to your hand.

At the beginning of a day, all Cards in a Cardcaller's possession, whether discarded, dropped, unused, or not even put in the deck, are available to choose from for the new day.

Calling Cards
The strength of a Card is determined by two factors: Some Cards rely on the level of the Caller. This is determined by adding up their levels in all Calling classes. This is referred to as their Calling Level.
The other factor is their Wisdom modifier. Which determines any saving throws.

A saving throw caused by a Card uses the following formula, unless stated otherwise:
DC: 10+the Card's level+Caller's Wisdom Modifier

Spell Resistance applies only to Summon and Weapon cards without the Martial descriptor. The Caller substitutes Caster level with Caller Level, and may apply the Spell Penetration feat, if she has it.

Utility Card: Although the simple cards of destructive summons are all a Cardcaller ever needs to cause harm, other tasks are equally as important. At 3rd Level, and each fourth level thereafter, they may choose a single spell of a level no higher than the highest level card they can choose. This may be a spell affected by a metamagic feat, using it's modified level. It may only apply metamagic feats that do not affect spell level if the Cardcaller knows them. They may cast this spell once per day, with a caster level equal to their caller level, using the same ability score. If the spell has a gold, material or experience cost, it must be paid. In addition, whenever they gain a new utility card from any method, they gain an additional copy of a Utility card they already possess. As with anything as open ended as this feature, the DM has final say on choices.

Finally, whenever a Cardcaller of at least third level would gain new normal cards, she may replace one of those cards with a utility card of one level lower than her maximum.

As a final note, a Cardcaller is considered neither Arcane or Divine. Converting their cards into spells is worthy of an epic quest in it's own right.

Enhanced Variety: At 5th level, and each 4th level thereafter, the number of cards gained at each level is increased by one.

Calling the Blue Dragon (Su): At 20th level, the Cardcaller is blessed by a being of immense power-the Blue Dragon. A pacifist, he has little power in combat, but is capable of repairing, healing, and returning cards. Once per day, the Cardcaller may Call a special card representing the Blue Dragon's power. Doing so has the following effects:
The user and all of his allies are effected by an effect similar to a Heal spell. It's healing is not capped at CL 15, and it uses Caller Level instead of Caster Level. It is a purely benevolent force rather than one utilising positive energy, and thus restores health equally to undead and constructs.
In addition, the Caller returns all of her cards to her deck, even those with the (Return) keyword.

PLAYING A CARDCALLER

Religion: A powerful Cardcaller can use cards generally referred to as gods. This often makes it difficult for them to accept the superiority of true deities, or anyone for that matter. They tend towards deities of magic.
Other Classes: A Cardcaller could be curious about more standard forms of magic, or could consider them to be crass. A martial character may hold their interest, although often because they're trying to understand how they can do something so dull.
Combat: A Cardcaller can serve several roles. A melee or long range damage dealer using weapons and summon cards, or as more of a leader by focussing instead on independent cards.
Advancement: Most Cardcallers are single classed, but some attempt to increase their physical skill with martial or initiating levels, while others combine their skills with those of more normal magic.

CARDCALLERS IN THE WORLD
“My power is all that stands between my kingdom and the end of all that is good. Try walking a mile in my shoes.”

Daily Life: Cardcallers are often very self-reliant, and tend to be slightly superior. Traditionally, they were the element of nobility in their kingdoms.
Notables: The current leader of Argwyll, Princess Katia, is an adherent of the old ways, having saved the land from mighty foes.
Organizations: Small schools exist in Argwyll to teach this path, although few other places do so.

NPC Reaction
Without being seen in action, a Cardcaller is discernable only by their glowing runestone. Most people see them and assume them as some kind of magic-user. On seeing them in action, other magic users tend to be interested in their techniques, while normal people often just steer clear, as they do with anyone capable of slaying them with but a gesture.

CARDCALLERS IN THE GAME

Adaptation: The cards and runestone are primarily fluff-replacing them with crystals, or any other similar object could change the class from a reference to just another casting class.
Encounters: A Cardcaller can specialise in several ways-with martial cards and weapons, they can be a powerful combat character. Alternatively, using independent cards can make the character a good leader, summoning hordes of minions. Traps, on the other hand, can build on a sneakier character.

CARDS
Most cards fall into one of three types: Summons cards, Weapon Cards, and Independent cards. In addition, many Summons and Weapon Cards have the Martial Descriptor.

Independent Cards: Independent Cards summon a monster to aid you. Examples range from the weak Skeleton card, to the powerful Black Dragon card. They will obey any instruction they can understand given by their Caller, and understand one language of the Caller's choice, plus one more for each point of positive Intelligence modifier the creature has. If they can speak, they can read these languages too.
Creatures with a duration of 'until slain or dismissed' decay over time. At the end of each minute, they take damage equal to the size of their hit dice - so, eight damage for a creature with d8 hit dice. Half of this damage is permanent, and cannot be healed from the card until it has run out and been renewed.

Summons Cards: Summons Cards transform the wielder into a powerful creature, for long enough to perform a powerful attack, or a vital action. Some Summons cards have the Return descriptor.

Weapon Cards: Weapon Cards change the wielder's form for a split second, giving them the skill, strength and power to wield a weapon that appears with the monster. Almost all Weapon Cards have the Martial descriptor. Often, a short lived bonus is gained from a weapon card, generally defensive in nature.
Any Weapon Card that takes an attack action to use, but does not require an attack roll, suffers a DC penalty when used while the user has a penalty to attack rolls, such as that on a second and subsequent attack. This is equal to the penalty on attacks divided by two.

Martial
Any card with the Martial descriptor is made as if your BAB equalled your Caller level, including additional iterative attacks. They suffer the normal penalties if other attacks have been made before them that turn; a -5 penalty per previous attack.
In addition, if they would deal additional damage based on the Cardcaller's strength, they do additional damage based on the Cardcaller's Wisdom instead. Most Martial cards are made as an Attack Action.

Return
A card with the Return descriptor returns used or discarded cards to your deck, allowing them to be reused, but cannot return other cards with this descriptor.

Card List

Card Name: The name of the card.
Uses: How many times a card can be used before it is expended. This number is almost always once, except for Weapon type cards.
Type: Three factors come into this. First, most cards have an element; either Fire, Wood, Earth or Water. Second, they have a type from the above list, Summons, Independent or Weapon, sometimes with the Martial descriptor. Finally, they have a spell school as with normal magic, such as transmutation or evocation. Almost all Cards are either Transmutations, Evocations or Conjurations.
Range: Most Weapon cards are Melee attacks. Otherwise, they tend to fit the Close, Medium or Long ranges, as with spells.
Duration: This lists the casting time for the card, or the duration of its effects. If it lists the latter, the card takes a standard action to use. It should be noted that Independent cards return to card form when not active, such as at the end of an encounter, and buffs and HP totals persist until their next use.
Effect: This section describes exactly what activating the card does. Whenever a card, or a called creature, calls for a saving throw, the DC is equal to 10+1/2 Caller Level+Wisdom modifier. Called creatures with Ability Focus, or other effects, change the DC as normal.

Each one does 1d8+wisdom modifier bludgeoning damage. However, any foe struck by more than one tentacle is grabbed, and torn apart. They must make a reflex save or be torn in two (fatally.) This saving throw's DC is increased by one for each second tentacle after the first that strikes the same target.

(Summoning)
Uses: 1
Type: Water, Independent, Summoning (Conjuration)

The Eternus Squid is a massive, silver and gold squid, seeming partly mechanical. It moves with terrifying speed.

It has ten hit dice as standard, and a natural armour bonus equal to its HD. For each two calling levels the user possesses, it has an additional hit die.
At each third hit dice, it receives a feat, such as Weapon Focus or Martial Study. At each fourth hit die, it adds one to one ability score, generally favoring Str, Dex, and Con.

Eternal Flurry: Once each time it is summoned, the Eternus Squid can use the Time Stands Still maneuver, allowing it to take two full attacks as a single full round action.

Improved Grab: To use this ability, an Eternus Squid must hit an opponent of any size with a tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. An Eternus Squid does not suffer penalties for multiple grapples until it grapples more foes than it has tentacles.

Tentacle Swarm (Ex): An Eternus Squid may grapple one foe per tentacle without taking penalties, and may continue taking actions. Each foe they grapple reduces their tentacle attacks by one.

Constrict: An Eternus Squid deals 1d8+5 points of damage with a successful grapple check. They may sacrifice additional tentacle attacks in a full attack, dealing an additional 1d8+5 damage on one constrict they do that round for each.

(Strike)
Uses: 3
Type: Water, Weapon (Martial), Transmutation
Range: 15ft
Duration: Attack action
Effect: You attack twice, each with a +3 tentacle that deals 1d10+wis mod damage for a medium Caller. These attacks have a reach of 15ft, and can strike any foe in range. In addition, any tentacle attack you make this round deals bonus damage equal to 1d10 times the number of times you have already struck that foe with a tentacle.

For a number of rounds equal to a quarter of your caller level, you gain DR/adamantine equal to half your caller level, and ignore all DR against your attacks.

Card Name: Golden Phoenix

Duration: Full Round Action
Effect: Calling on the Golden Phoenix's form, you unleash radiant flames. They deal 1d4/two caller levels plus your wisdom modifier in fire damage to all foes within range, and heal allies of the same amount. In addition, they give foes a sacred penalty to ability scores equal to a third of your caller level, and to saving throws equal to a quarter of your caller level, and give a sacred bonus of equal size to allies. A successful reflex saves halves the damage and negates the penalties. (Or the healing and the bonuses, if someone so desires.)

The Great Turtle is an iconic champion of Earth, bombarding foes with a rain of stone.

It has ten hit dice as standard, and a natural armour bonus equal to ten plus its HD. For each two calling levels the user possesses, it has an additional hit die.
At each third hit dice, it receives a feat, generally of the defensive kind, or to improve its stone shot and bombardment. At each fourth hit die, it adds one to one ability score, generally favoring Str and Con.

Resist 10: A Great Turtle ignores the first (HD) damage from any source. Effects that reduce or ignore DR or energy resistance treat this the same way.

Stone Shot: A Great Turtle has a strength based ranged attack dealing 2d8+Str mod damage. It has a range of 15ft/HD.

Bombardment: By spending a full round action, the Great Turtle may designate a 10ft radius anywhere within his stone shot range. All foes within that area must make a reflex save, or suffer 6d8+Str mod damage. This damage ignores hardness.

White Charge (Ex): As a full round action, designate a point you could reach by spending your action moving at full speed. All foes between your current position and there suffer one slam attack, with 3d6 bonus damage from your speed, and the corona of vicious power that surrounds you. You move to that location, without provoking any attacks of opportunity. A successful reflex save removes this bonus damage.

Uses: 3
Type: Wood, Weapon, Conjuration
Range: Base land speedx2
Duration: Attack action
Effect: Channeling the aspect of the White Tiger, you move with phenomenal speed, striking an unfortunate foe. Designate a point within range. You move to it, without provoking any attacks of opportunity. Choose one foe you could have attacked from at least one point on that path, and make an attack. This may be with a weapon you wield, or may be with a slam attack, dealing 1d6+Wisdom modifier damage for a medium caller. You may even use another Weapon card, as long as it is a martial weapon card with duration: attack action that grants you an attack with a weapon.
Whatever you attack with, it deals 2d6 bonus damage.

For a number of rounds equal to a quarter of your caller level, you may move up to twice your base land speed as part of a full attack action, making your attacks from any point or points along that path. Abilities that function with Spring Attack treat this ability as that ability.

Notes: This Alternate Class Feature is primarily intended for use in a gestalt game. It means that a gestalt with a full BAB character does not render weapon cards utterly useless.

Finally, I have done four cards. Whoop.

I have to say, the fact that you have to choose the order you get your spells in seems more than a little annoying. Also I cant see any use for the runestone if no one can see it, no one can damage it, and even if they do nothing happens and to top it all off it doesn't seem to actually do anything.

Well, they represent the cards you draw from the deck. And the Runestone is entirely flavour, from the game this is based on.

Also, the randomized cards is a balancing factor.

I can understand randomization as a balance factor (I used it for my knave of Tarots) but if thats what you're going for why not have them actually draw the cards from a shuffled deck or use dice to simulate drawing cards if that's not an option? For one thing it'll be less stress full for the player, for another the way you have it now encourages the creation of groups of viable hands or front-loading the deck with all your trump cards, which will keep this from actually being random.

As for the runestone, if it's fluff I think it should be added to the class description and not kept as an actual ability. As it is, it seems some what rude to the other players. Sort of like going "Nah Nah you can't touch this." of course that could just be me being weird and most might just gloss over it.

Because it's easier to cheat.
Also, I don't want it to be COMPLETELY random. You want them to have some control.

Hmm, I guess... I dunno, it's just that some people will ignore the fluff entirely.

I agree with Epsilon, players should either be able to just choose or randomly draw, picking an order is way too much.

There is, ironically, less bookkeeping than if you randomly draw. If you draw randomly, you have to roll a d(sillynumber) every time you use a card.

What are you talking about? If you roll, you just have to roll a die and then draw your card. If you order, every morning you have to pick an order for your cards, which is even worse than preparing spells. Also, cool games have you using an actual deck, which would be awesome.

Bearing in mind that the order is important, so you'd have to write it down as it happens.

It seems easier to me... but if everyone thinks so, I'll change it to random. :/

Why is the order important? If you do it this way you just need to mark down if you used a card already (if you're using an actual deck it's even easier: you just don't put the card back in).

That said you probably will want to come up with some abilities to mitigate the randomness to some extent.

Because, if you get the card back, it goes back where it was. I guess you could just add it in randomly... :smallfrown:

Also keep in mind that that mechanic was designed for a non-random system where your deck was essentially made of a series of hands so keeping them in order was important to the player; this is no longer the case.

Seems like a very good idea. The randomness of spell-casting should be more than enough of a balancing factor. Adding in economic micromanaging feels like just insult to injury to me.

The class seems like a powerful summoner//backup melee warrior. Interesting. I have no idea how the balance on something like this would go. It's melee presence seems to be roughly as powerful as a martial adept, but it also has powerful summons. It has limited utility (which is good for balance IMO), few hit points, and poor AC. I want to say that this feels balanced, however it also feels like using the martial side of things is just always a bad idea. It would be nice for a powerful summoner to have a nice melee smash or trick to fall back on, but given the random nature of the spellcasting, the Cardcaller can't rely on just one or two cards to be available when she needs them, so she'd need several martial cards, which, given her squishyness, will sit unused in her hand hoping for the perfect moment (which doesn't feel fun to me).

The best way I can think of to remedy this situation, using the mechanics you've already presented (and without adding new stuff), would be to add 1 round buff effects onto many of the melee range weapon cards that way, when the Cardcaller is in the danger zone, she is better able to stand up to her foes.

That makes sense. I can work with that.

Also, to clarify, I'm aiming for tier 2 or 3 as a balance point.

I guess asking you to delete the spoilers is right out? Honestly, for pictures or movie and book spoilers it makes sense, but most of what is spoiled is actual game information. I'd rather see text separated by paragraphs and formatting than to have to open so many spoilers.

The spoilers in the first post I could remove, cause it's important. But the spoilers for lists of cards and things I'd like to leave in. Scrolling through that much stuff is very annoying.

(Funny that this would come up just a few days after I was re-playing Lost Kingdoms 2 :smallbiggrin:)

Wow, the cards so far are incredibly detailed and awesome. Good work. Regarding randomization and mana crystals, I agree with the others that having both restrictions is extremely limiting. I don't know if you've played the second game, but it does a couple things differently that actually make it easier to translate into DnD. They got rid of the arena for random battles and changed it to just fighting as you walked around. In order to accommodate both this and the fact that they also introduced Transform cards for navigating levels, they made discarding just go straight to the bottom of your deck. Since you can just stand somewhere out of range and cycle through your cards until you've got what you want (even stack the deck in order if you've got some time on your hands), I'd say to just let people cast out of whatever they've readied for the day. Mana crystals should do a fine enough job limiting them if you're modeling off psionic power points, and between the limit on top level cards and number of uses per card that should be enough that randomization isn't needed at all.

The only problem I'd see is the inevitable pile of Crystal Roses and Lizardman cards which would basically function as at-will until they're not. It's an effect you don't run into in the games since you don't have enough copies to try and pull it, but since you have unlimited copies with this, it's a bit of a flavor problem. Considering that you can't use more than one copy of your top tier and three of your second, I'd put a limit on how many copies you have of each card. Say you start out with two each of the cantrips and one each of the 1st rank, and you double your copies each time you get access to a new level of cards. It'll take 10 character levels to reach 32 copies of a card, long enough that if you really want it that bad, it's not gonna seem weird that you can do the same effect all day. More importantly, it means that while you've got 3 of your second rank cards, you won't have more than two copies of the same card within those three, then four copies of your third rank, and so on. It's an extra phantom restriction (when I've just said I don't like those, feh), but I think it does a more serviceable job of keeping the card flavor. Or it could just be more bookkeeping.

I'd make weapon cards default to using wisdom on the attack roll myself. Requiring feats to use your bread and butter cards well annoys me. The Red Lizard is currently weaksauce compared to the Lizardman, I'd recommend making them at least a d8 on each attack. Loving the Lizardman, though it might be a little much damage for a 1st level "at-will," maybe drop it to 2d6 (one oversized longsword, note that the lizardmen all use single handed swords). I like how you've done the independents, just writing short individual stat blocks and providing level up benefits for them, very effective. Skeleton could use some DR for it's trademark toughness (every time I take them out I wish I had them back in!).

Naturally when I was playing I was thinking about how I'd stat it up myself, probably a sort of "Mystic Crusader," with Crusader style recovery mechanics and a palette of spells and melee effects. I'm sure I would have built everything out of existing material, so I'm really impressed that you decided to take the hard road and build it all from scratch. I hope you manage to fill out the card list, good luck and I'll be watching!

Well... actually, I dunno if I ninjad you or you wrote up this post thinking of an older direction, but I went with the other direction and removed the mana crystals. The random nature is something that particularly seemed to fit, while the mana crystals are more a fluff thing.

Hmm. Honestly, I'm not sure. DO we want people to be able to use the same attack all day? Is it a bad thing? Nothing stops a Sorcerer filling every slot with Magic Missile.
I could consider saying you can't take more than a couple of copies of a single card per level. Just not yet sure if I want to...

Not sure I agree. Even a wizard puts points in Dex if he wants to hit with attack roll spells. And they do get full BAB for them.

I could, if you think it's a BIG concern, swap the feat and standard, and have them use Wisdom on attack rolls, and have the feat allows them to use Wisdom on damage.

Okay. What do you think of the suggestion someone made of having weapons provide minor buffs, to help improve them a little?

One question. I had to remove the Blue Dragon from the card list, cause having it more than once is too good. I'm calling it a patron saint of Callers or something, so I need a new water based god card. Any suggestions?
So far, I've had
Giant Squid
and
Souped Up Polar Bear.

Any ideas? xD
