These classes are the product of hundreds of hours of using Colostle to write
amazing stories, and I want to share them with all of you in hopes that you
will be able to do the same. Even if you don’t use them, maybe they could
just be present in your story, or even a part of your story’s history.

Thank you to Nich Angell for creating this fantastic world,

and a fantastic game to spin stories out of it.

 The Altered

Exploration Score -

The Altered are the product of both ignorance and ingenuity, the tragic outcome
of physical contact with a sparkling stone found deep in the support pillars of
the Colostle. Life is harsher being one of the Altered but it can also come with
a great many strengths with the power of rooks fused into your body.

Now Roomlanders are able to be saved from
losing themselves and can even benefit from their
unfortunate accident, but that does not save them
from their own people. If they’re lucky, the Altered
are kept secret from other villages and cities, thus
able to live relatively normal lives within their
communities. Others aren’t so lucky and live the
majority of their lives in exile and on the run, but
don’t let that make you see them as helpless.

Those who are Altered gain many benefits including

the very same abilities a rook would have. If their
legs are altered by the ‘Rook-Spread’, they now have
the strength and stamina of a rook which means they
can run faster, jump higher, kick harder, even survive
longer falls. The same goes for the arms, hands, even
their head! And yes that means they can lose their
entire head, torso and most of their legs while still
retaining humanity and intelligence, although it will
be borderline and they may act strangly at times.

The Altered can also harness the magic

of the rooks though the magnitude of that
power typically depends on how much of their
body as been affected, and it is not quite as
controlled as someone trained to use a helm.

 The Pawn

Exploration Score -

Combat Score -

The Pawn are an ancient race of beings, possibly the first to reside in the Colostle. They
are a people of creation, art, and they avoid conflict as much as possible. Their people
carry with them history and technology never before seen by common roomlanders and are
not prone to sharing that information. They are excellent marksmen and engineer’s.

They are typically a very peaceful people who
avoid fighting as much as they can, unless they
need a specific rook part they haven’t been
able to salvage. If they are provoked into a
fight, they are more likely to fight at a distance
and also lure their opponent into traps.

The Pawn’s are smaller in stature compared to

roomlanders and are highly intelligent. They live
much longer lives than roomlanders and are also
able to pass down a portion of their memories to
new generations using some unknown magic only
they can harness. They are also born with their
own innate magic, no always a destructive force
and rarely able to be controlled. Their magic
could be anything from a force field that appears
when in danger, to being able to levitate objects
into place while constructing something wonderful.
