Character March 2025: Descent of the Holy

Let's make a priest.

My ratings will be done on four scales, each ranging from 1 to 5:

• RPG: How much does this feel like an RPG to me, as opposed to a board game?
• Soup Stone: How little content does the game expect you to add? For this scale, 0 is a complete Soup Stone since I'd like to sum the scores to see the game's total score.
• Would I Play: If I were given a chance to, would I play this game?
• Would I Write: If I were inspired enough and had time/energy for it, would I get back to working on this game?

Descent of the Holy

Father Maksymilian is a dwarven priest who's helping out the community of the Good City. Whether it's helping with the problems of people on the surface, or delving underground to fight off the vicious skeletal forces, he's always on the ready, and quick with a joke. His Faith begins at 1, as it does for all the characters. When delving into the crypt below, his carried equipment of choice is Aspergillum for when it's needed, and a Relic since one of the priests has to bring it. The first prayer he learns from the options listed in the game is Douse the Multitude, a prayer that allows him to regain 1 Aspergillum use after two uses. His stats are as follows:

• Fairness 1d6
• Altruism 1d16
• Courage 1d8
• Temperance 1d10
• Sin 1d4

Ratings

3/5 RPG. I think there's space for stuff that would make it different from a board game.

4/5 Soup Stone. Plenty is already there to work with.

3/5 Would I Play. Maybe one day if I feel like it. Maybe a oneshot? Who knows.

3/5 Would I Write. If I get some ideas for improvements, I could see myself updating this. Until then, this will have to wait patiently for its turn.
