ACKS and Crafts
 |
Building castles and domains are all well and good¸ but what about the human touch? Sometimes¸ you really just want to go down into your laboratory and BUILD something with your own two hands.
Or your own four hands¸ as the case may be. However many hands magical experimentation may have left you with¸ ACKS and Crafts has something for you to build! Within these packed fifty pages¸ you will find:
The grenadier class¸ an alchemical warrior who uses bombs and other alchemical explosives in combat
Alchemical weaponry and elixirs¸ both for the grenadier and for any character who knows their secrets
The ritualist class¸ a ceremonial spellcaster who uses very dimly-lit at best rituals to create special kinds of trinkets.
New eldritch spells for the Ritualist¸ or any other eldritch spellcaster¸ to cast.
The dwarven dynamo class¸ a dwarf who was kicked out of the machinist's training for their heretical desires to meld together flesh and machinery with cybernetics. Metal is better than meat.
A full system for building and installing cybernetic upgrades into your mere fleshbound characters.
Finally¸ not a new class at all¸ but a new way for all magical characters to create items and for Judges to create formulas¸ heroic item crafting! Have you ever wanted to gather eye of newt¸ tongue of frog¸ the skull of an ogre¸ and leave them all in the lair of a basilisk for one month to create a magic item? Now you can! Instead of assuming that all the components for an item are multiples of the same component¸ Heroic Item Crafting assumes that one keystone component determines what the item is or does¸ and then other components are randomly generated to support a more traditional fantasy recipe.
Look at all this content! What are you waiting for?
ACKS and Crafts is an expansion to the Adventurer Conqueror King SystemTM by Autarch LLC. ACKS is a trademark of Autarch LLC. Use of ACKS and Crafts requires¸ at minimum¸ the Adventurer Conqueror KingTM core rulebook¸ available elsewhere on this site. Use of the Ritualist additionally requires the ACKS Heroic Fantasy HandbookTM. The ideas expressed in ACKS and Crafts can be converted to other d20 RPGs¸ with varying amounts of effort¸ but will function best and most easily in ACKSTM.
