Class: The Shibboleth (PBtA)
 |
This playbook with wonderful cover art done by Nick Ladd is a new class for the RPG Dungeon World. The Shibboleth is a member of a family or organization that once held great significance but has now faded into obscurity. This class has ten different identities for what kind of family you hailed from before it's ruin. Each identity determines what your damage dice is and any additional abilities you get. This¸ coupled with choosing what lead your family into ruin¸ lays the foundation to have rules match whatever story you come up with for your character's origins.
This Shibboleth gets to tailor it's Starting Moves¸ choosing two from a pool of four. This helps flesh out and customize your character even further to meet the needs of your backstory. These moves can make your character more social oriented¸ more ranged or melee combat focused¸ or a blend of these. The Advanced Moves I Carry On The Traditions and Talents Of The Family add even more effects to all of the Starting Moves¸ so no matter what combination you pick they will grow in time. Also¸ the Shibboleth also has many Advanced Moves that provide bonuses for collecting as many of your Family Heirlooms as you can.
