Savage

Adventures: The primitive tribes-folks of jungles and

mountains, close to being beasts themselves, they struggle to
comprehend the civilized cultures that exist on their borders.
Their own way of life is full of danger and strife with tribal feuds
and wild creatures to combat in their day to day existence.
Characteristics: The savage is, by necessity, a fast and agile
warrior, adept at laying ambushes and attack in wild ferocity,
with animalistic senses to survive in the harshest of
environments.
Religion: Pictish savages often swear by Jhebbal Sag, and other
nature gods. Cimmerian savages will believe in Crom and the
more barbaric Cimmerian gods. The Black Kingdom savage can
worship many verities of gods known to their counties.
Background: Many culture contain the savage spirit, but some
enhance it, this is mostly the Picts, but Southern Black
Kingdoms will contain many ferocious tribes. Cimmeria though
a barbaric culture could easily have some individual savages
amongst their number or solitary tribes, less advanced than their
fellows.

CLASS FEATURES:
All of the following are class features of the savage.

Note at Gamemaster's discretion, he can add Talking Drums and Sign Language to the savage's bonus languages at
character creation at 1st level.

Favoured Terrain: At 1st level, the savage gains a favoured terrain type from among the following: Plains,
Swamp, Hills, Forest or Mountains. Alternatively, he may choose a particular region as his favoured terrain, such
as the territory of their tribe, or hidden caverns. At 7th level he may choose an additional favoured terrain.

Any time a savage is in one of his favoured terrains and wearing no heavier than light armour, he gains certain
benefits as follows:
* +1 circumstance bonus to all Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search, Spot and Survival checks.
* +1 Dodge bonus to Dodge Defence: The savage is adept at using the natural features of the terrain to his
advantage in combat. If the savage chose a particular region as his favoured terrain, he may add his favoured
terrain bonus to his Reputation while in that region.
At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, the savage’s favoured terrain bonus for his first favoured terrain
increases by +1. His second favoured terrain bonus increases by +1 at 12th and 17th levels and his third favoured
terrain bonus increases by +1 at 19th level. The savage gains additional benefits as his favoured terrain bonuses
increase. If he has a favoured terrain bonus of at least +2 for the terrain he is in, he gains a +10 feet circumstance
bonus to his movement. If he has a favoured terrain bonus of at least +3 for the terrain he is in, he may use the
Hide skill even if the terrain does not usually grant cover or concealment. If he has a favoured terrain bonus of at
least +4 for the terrain he is in, his movement bonus within that terrain increases to +20 feet, replacing the +10
feet bonus gained at +2. If he has a favoured terrain bonus of at least +5 for the terrain he is in, he can use the
Hide skill even while being observed.
Naked Savage: At 1st level the savage gains a +1 bonus to any benefit he gains from his Favoured Terrain, but
they must be constantly unarmoured to benefit from the bonuses. The bonus rises to +2 a 6th level and +3 by 10th
level. Apart from donning a loincloth or pair of sandals, or fur clock in winter, the savage cannot even don clothing
without loosing this ability.

Primitive: At 1st level the savage suffers from a lack technical advancement to their Crafts or Profession skills
which are no more advanced than the level of a copper-aged structure; technology is alien to the savage. They
receive a -8 penalty to any technical skill based on Craft or Profession or Knowledge skill with anything to do with
any weapon better than Simple quality and primitive manufacture or item that is advanced and high quality or
master-crafted (note see Savage Workers below).

The benefit of being a primitive is a mindless regard for progress, it does not matter if great cities fall and
advancements are lost, let them fall to flame and the axe and club, let them know fears of the savage's primitive
frenzy. Where others would blanch, they reap havoc, leaving farmyard litter with bodies of the dead; women and
children's bloody corpses heaped on the ground; instils fear into the savage's enemies; as they begin to realise
what the savage is capable of. The savage causes a +2 modifier to any fear DC roll generated by them or their
people.

Track: At 1st level the savage gains the Track feat for free. If he already has the Track feat, he instead gains the
Skill Focus (Survival) feat.

Savage Armour: At 2nd level, this ability allows the savage to wear 1 point or 2 point of furs, bone and leathers
without losing the 'Naked,' Ability.

True Savage: At 2nd level, the savage is born into a unique culture and each savage culture has distinct
characteristics. Only certain cultures are savage enough to take the Savage Character Class; here is a selection of
most of these known cultures.

Choose the two abilities associated with the culture that took the class, this is the
traditional traits mostly associated with the cultures concerned, if a civilized
character took the savage class, it would be in an extreme occurrence which would
be very rare and uncommon. This civilised man reduced in theory to a primitive
state with the need to survive as a near beast; should only be allowed to take the
savage class if he has associated himself with a savage tribe and lived with them
constantly for approximately a year, give or take a month or two at Gamemaster's
discretion. The civilized man in gaining the true savage abilities therefore
associated with the particular savage culture he had been adopted by.

Amazonian: Blowpipe Accuracy: The Amazonian has an uncanny knack of

striking this target with their long blowpipes. Thy gain a +1 bonus to attack and
damage with this weapon and can extend the blowpipe's range by +5 feet.
Amazonian: Body Painting: The Amazonian gains the Body Paint Focus feat as a
free feat. Whether they meet the prerequisite or not.
Black Kingdoms: Fast Runner: The Black Kingdomer gains the Fleet-Footed feat
as a free feat.
Black Kingdoms: Superstitious: The awe and belief of sorcery is inherent with those of the Black Kingdoms. They
will gain half as much healing if that healing is done either by a witchdoctor or in such a convincing manner that
the Black Kingdomer thinks that magic was involved in the process. Beneficial magic (whether spells or from an
item) last for as long as half again or its affects are half as greater than stated. But, the Black Kingdomer receives a
-2 penalty to saving throw versus any magic which is hostile to him.
Cimmerian: Brooding Stare: Demoralise Opponent as free action, see Intimidate skill.
Cimmerian: Pride: cannot take an insult, a Cimmerian who is insulted and needs to maintain control, must make
a Will saving throw versus DC 5 + half the insulter's level to resist the insult, plus any allies the insulter has;
calculating their levels and adding it to the total DC (note: if Cimmerian has allies, he also subtract half their levels
from the DC). If the Cimmerian fails the roll, he cannot attack and is dishonoured by the insulter. Gamemasters
can reduce the Cimmerian's Reputation score by an appropriate number and the Cimmerian may stomp off in
shame, planning revenge. A Cimmerian who succeeds can counter the insult if he can win at a Diplomacy versus
Diplomacy opposing check with a quick retort to put the other on the defensive and withdraw from the verbal
confab. The verbal abuse can continue till the Cimmerian can take no more, or the insulter notices he is in danger
of receiving a broken neck. Each time the Cimmerian is insulted he must make a Will save or be humiliated and
leave in frustration. Eventually after may insults the Cimmerian who makes his Will saves may realise he has no
other way to save his honour and reputation than by attacking the insulter regardless of who else is present, the
Cimmerian can use the effects granted by the Crimson Mist ability of the Barbarian against this contemptuous foe
and those who come to his aid for the granted duration, though they must be 2 nd level Barbarian or Savage or
higher. This is treated in all respects as the Fighting-Madness feat (see page 126 of the Conan the Roleplaying
Game, 2E), including the restriction that it may only occur once per day or twice if he also has the Fighting-
Madness feat.

Darfari: Teeth Gleaning: The Darfari gains the Teeth Gleaning feat as a free feat.
Darfari: Eaters of Human Flesh: Gain Craft (Cooking) as a class skill and a +3 bonus to the skill.
Pictish: Stealth: Grants a +5 bonus to Hide and Move Silently, but must move at quarter their speed. The usual
need for there to be something to hide behind is required and foliage grants the usual negatives to any
requirement to remain silent.
Pictish: Frenzied Cry: loud screeches, causes Fear: Will DC 5 + Pictish; savage (only) leader's Charisma modifier
+1 per ten other Pict savages in horde making the frenzied cry. To those that hear it this is a horrific cry, that can
cause panic within any civilized creature with a soul. Subtract the amounts of defenders there is from the
attackers, per 10 defender reduce DC by 1 (round up or lower depending on how close the number to the
remaining tenth: Example 5 or lower round down, 6 or high round up.
Example: A hundred Picts, hurl themselves out of their forest at a settler's fort along the Black River. Each Picts
is of the Savage Character Class, and each howls his frenzied cry. The Settler's are 56 in number (GM will round
up). The Picts can generate +10 bonus to the DC, plus +1 for their warchief's Charisma of 12 and the Settlers can
muster a -6 to the DC, the Picts also gain the +2 bonus from their primitive ability, for the total DC is 12. To make
the rolling easy, instead of rolling for every settlers, the best way is to divide then in to groups of ten and roll for
each group, select one as the teamleader to make the Will save for the group. The remaining six form a small
group and prepare to endure. Remember those that fail the save and are surrounded by foes, so, will still remain
and fight rather that flee blindly, but at the usual -2 penalty.
Note: This is a Fear Will save, so any modifier generated by class or culture or gender affects this roll.
Southern Black Kingdoms: Dance of the Savage: Gains the Skill Focus (Perform (Dance)) feat as a bonus feat.
Southern Black Kingdoms: Superstitious: The awe and belief of sorcery is inherent with those of the Southern
Black Kingdoms. They will gain half as much healing if that healing is done either by a witchdoctor or in such a
convincing manner that the Southern Black Kingdomer thinks that magic was involved in the process. Beneficial
magic (whether spells or from an item) last for as long as half again or its affects are half as greater than stated.
But, the Southern Black Kingdomer receives a -2 penalty to saving throw versus any magic which is hostile to him.
Note: Gamemasters creating a primitive cultural tribe; can either create their own abilities for their own true
savage abilities, or take some of the ideas above that suits their idea of their new primitive group, or just use the
closest; example: the Picts could have a typical savage behaviour concerning outsiders to their domain.

Tribal Customs: A savage at 2nd level can choose one of the following tribal customs. Once the tribal custom
has been selected, it cannot be changed; this is a general tribal effect that most savages of one tribal group or
culture would typically have. Sometimes a Gamemaster may have to insist the character takes a particular custom
if the player wants his character to come from a particular tribe.
Savage Fury: If this custom is taken by the savage, he gains a +1 damage bonus if he attacks another with a mêlée
weapon for some reason; concerning his people and his land. Mugging a passing stranger while the savage
wanders the world for a few silver is not a good reason. Killing the enemies which threaten his land and his people
is a good reason, no matter the enemy. A settler and his family are invaders and deserve no pity. The savage gains
a +1 bonus to attack with a mêlée weapon at 5th level. Then the damage bonus increases at 8th level to +2. The
attack bonus rises to +2 at 11th level and ends at 14th level with another +1 to their damage for a total +2 to attack
and +3 to damage with a mêlée weapon.
Savage Dodge: If this custom is taken a savage unarmoured dodge is increase by a +1 bonus. The bonus rises by
+1 each time the tribal custom ability occurs at 5th, 8th and 11th and 14th levels.

Animal Call: If this custom is taken, a savage can communicate with those who know the signs, different animals
can be mimic with precise intricacy. Calls recognise by one's own tribe or those one shares time with; if the savage
can show them some basic sounds; like 'beware,' or 'safe,' but nothing extreme. A savage communicating with his
fellow tribesmen could tell them the distance, location and how many of the enemy are present with a few coded
animal calls. A savage must pick a type of animal; whether some kind of bird, or a wolf, or some other creature,
even a supernatural creatures at the Gamemaster’s discretion; creatures he knows to be in the location of savage's
tribe. A savage can take 10 with these rolls and a base DC 15 for most forms of communication is needed, still
bonuses or penalties can be added if Gamemaster thinks they are appropriate. If a fellow tribesman can hear the
caller; they will comprehend the message; but a tribesman who if far away and the sound is blocked by hills or
blown away by the wind, then a Listen check must be made to hear the animal call. A tribe of savages tend to learn
the same animal call, perhaps a grouse or a raven, but some may perform different tasks and work in specially
assign groups; so choose a different call to the common animal calls of his people.
* This is treated as a new skill Mimic (Wis). Some examples: Mimic (Raven), Mimic (Wolf), the savage gains once
this ability is taken a +2 bonus to this skill.

More powerful savages can learn more animal calls latter; learning another at 5th, 8th and 11th and 14th levels. A
savage that has a high intelligence can learn one more animal call per Intelligence bonus. Example: a savage with
an Intelligence 17, can learn three extra animal calls. If a character's intelligence rises; he can also gain the bonus
animal call.

Savage Dance: If this ability is selected, the savage selects one dance, at later levels: 5th, 8th and 11th and 14th
levels the savage can take other dances. At dance last for 2d4 x10 in minutes and a DC 15 is required for a
successful dance. For every 5 above the DC, a savage adds an extra +1 bonus to the base +2 bonus received for the
dance, see below. So, a successful roll of 20 grants a total of +3, a 25 is +4 etc.
Animal Totem Dances: At Gamemaster’s discretion this could add a +2 bonus for various feats or abilities the
savage has.
Bravery Dance: After performing a war dance, the savage gains a +2 bonus versus fear.
Hunting Dance: After performing a hunting dance, the savage raises their Track score by +2.
Ritual Dance: After performing a ceremonial dances (+2 Perform (Ritual)).
Sorcerous Dance: After performing a sorcerous dance, the dancer gains a +2 bonus against hostile magic of any
sort. This bonus can be given as a negative to another if the target is observing the dance, but the dancer must
know the observer is there, perhaps tied to a post for sacrifice. The victim can make a save versus the total dance
DC the dancer generated to resist the penalty.
War Dance: After performing a war dance, the savage gains a +2 bonus to their mêlée attacks.

There are other dances; mating dances, yearly festival dances, etc., but
these little influence to game, though Gamemasters should if they wish
create other dances that grant the same or similar bonuses.

A dance needs at least one drummer (or other tribal instrument) play
loudly and with fervour; meaning they succeed in the Perform skill
(usually a DC 15 check). Only one dance can be active at any given time.

These effects last for one 1 day per 5 levels of the savage class before
fading (minimum 1 day). They also can stack with any other bonus from
any other effect granted from either feats or other special abilities.

Feud: +1 attack and damage versus a hated enemy, this enemy/group

must be selected at the selection of this ability, and another culture can
be added at 5th level and 11th level. At 8th and 14th level the attack and
damage bonus rises by +1 to a maximum of +3 at 14th level.
Endurance: At 3rd level, the savage gains Endurance as a bonus feat. If he already has Endurance, he instead
gains Diehard.

Savage Hunter: At 3rd level the savage gains Sneak Attack +1d6 against animals (or any greater version of the
creature) only. This rises to +2d6 at 6th level and +3d6 at 9th level.

The Savage Works: At 3rd level, the savage gains a feat from the list below, note none of the crafts are classified
