Drink From My Cup Til It Runith Over (Class: Cleric)

Everyone remember the conversion of the Cloak and Sword Sanguine class I made last year that was inspired from the half burned pages I stole from someone's attic? Well, I did some digging and have managed to track down a fully copy of class from an old magizine. Turns out I missed a major part of the class in my glog version of it. I think there's three other humor based classes out there based on the name but I haven't been able to track them down. I think the funny thing about this class is it's obviously meant to be intended only for women but nothing about it says you have to do that, I think the thought of a male character wanting to play this character simply did not occur to the author.

Sanguine

Start with: Frumpy and outdated noblewomen’s clothes, a lancet, a roll of bandage and a bundle of very strong scented herbs.


Eternal Spring: You were always a weak and sickly child. You would constantly suffer bloody noses, have trouble focusing on anything and spray blood everywhere from the smallest cuts. This terrible Blood has burdened you for as long as you lived. After each meal, grasping Esprit, being charmed, scared or another sudden surge of feeling, you gain d6 Vitae. At 5 Vitae you start to feel dizzy and faint, requiring WIS checks to think straight, at 10 Vitae you are overwhelmed and fall unconcious, only waking up when Vitae lowers below 10. There are four ways to rid yourself of it.

• Recuperation: It can be converted one for one to heal your Elon during rest.
• Mosquito: Vitae can be removed by a dracula or some sort of mosquito. Which is basically fine because they are made to do this. When such a creature deals melee damage to you, it will take Vitae before Elon. Two Vitae are equal to 1 blood ration.
• Frog: Vitae can also be removed by, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog. This is bad because they are not made for removing blood, and your Blood knows this. When such a creature deals melee damage to you, it also takes an equal amount of Vitae. If you don’t have any spare Vitae then it just deals damage as normal.
• Bloodletting: Anyone skilled with medicine can relieve you of your Vitae like a mosquito, an amateur relieves you like a frog. If they bottle it, then they need to gather at least 4 Vitae for a useful magical or alchemical reagent. Oh, also you're a universal blood donor.

Object of Desire: Other girls are prettier, more popular, and more accomplished. Despite being plain and unnoteworthy you have many admirers in the dark. Upon sight, monsters and angels hold Esprit for you, even vampyrs in guises. When you bleed, any present monsters or angels who can smell you must immediately make an Esprit Reaction Roll, with these modified results.

2 or less: If a monster attempts to eat you then and there, if an angel flees to not be a monster.
3-5: Demands allegiance.
6-8: Demands a service.
9-11: Offers a service.
12 or more: Pledges service.


Can I Fix Him?: There are monsters who are not like the others. Somewhere buried beneath the prizes and hatred you can see an ember of humanity. When you can look into the eyes of a monster ask the GM “Can I fix him?” and the GM will give one of the following answers.

• No, it is set in its nature.
• No, but you can make him worse.
• Yes, and you can make him worse.

Monsters which you change for the better or the worse fall in love with you.

Demure: You have the Harmlessness and Suggestion Graces for free, but without the MD. Roll the MD as normal and lose that much Vitae. You can’t use these Graces if your out of Vitae.

• Harmlessness- seem so helpless that unless you do violence or interfere directly, for [sum] minutes no one will harm you worse than dragging you around by the arm.
• Suggestion- target saves at -[sum] or remember a suggestion you made as their own idea.

Sympathy: When you and another person have some combination of holding Esprit for each other or have drank each other’s blood, a sympathetic bond is formed. This means that you both involuntarily share dreams and can use divination to find out how far away you are, in what direction and your current state. A sympathetic bond can be severed by an ordained priest or beguine.

Sylphe Sister: Due to the overabundance of your sanguine humor, spirits of blood, air, merriment and swords will reveal themselves to you and treat you as a younger sibling. Your Fertility type is S, despite being human.

Flutter: When you feel strong emotions a gentle summer breeze will blow around you, seemingly coincidentally. While this is happening you may spend Vitae to do the following.

• Spend it 1 for 1 to heal the Elon of someone you're fond of within sight.
• Spend 1 to blow away a piece of paper, knock away someone’s hat or so forth.
• Spend 2 to make the weapon of someone protecting you count as magical.
• Spend 2 to wreath helpful winds around someone you want to protect, granting them +2 AC.
• Spend 2 to whisper a message and have it be carried on the wind to the target regardless of distance.

Fury: When you see someone gravely injure someone you hold Esprit for, a hot and wet gale winds coil around you. Everything not nailed down gets blown around, everyone except you has -3 to hit and you need to make a WIS save or cause a ruinous thunderstorm to descend on your current location. You may also spend Vitae or Elon 1 to 1 to increase either your to-hit or damage.
