Cross-posting from the 13th Age thread. If any of you guys play the 13th Age tabletop RPG I've written some DBZ material for it.

Magic Items


Notable Human race, ala Krillin and Tien

Is Alpha Wolf Battlecry the only way to get the Escalation die above 6?




I believe the Commander has a thing that bumps it up to d8, so you could theoretically get it up to d10 with this.

Prison Warden posted:


Namek

So, basically, when you go below half health, you heal back up until you are above half health again, but if you drop to staggered after that, you don't heal again, is that right?


That's correct.

I worry a bit about the Sayian racial since, while rarely, it gives +12 to attack rolls which seems awfully high. Even before then, the bonus does get a little big, doesn't it? I also feel the Notable Human race may be a bit strong in comparison to the other races.

It's a big bonus but it makes combat much more high risk/high reward for the Saiyan player. Since they only get the bonus while staggered they'll be tempted to STAY staggered, but by doing so they run the risk of a couple good hits taking them out. I like dangling incentives for declining healing and living dangerously.

What's weirder is Pan is listed as being 9 in the Japanese version and 13 in the English version by some sources, which makes Determining Bulla's age even more fun. She's either 8, 10, 12, or 14 depending on which version you're watching.

You needed 6 super saiyins to make a Super Saiyin god and Pan apparently counted even though she was a fetus. Even if you ignore the SSJ requirement that baby is apparently still stronger than Tarble because Vegeta says he'd be too weak to help them with the ritual.

This is from a few pages back but there's so so much wrong in this post. It's never mentioned that SSJ is needed, just 6 saiyans of pure heart, and Vegeta only dismisses Tarble because he doesn't know where Tarble is or how long it would take to get him there.

This is in addition to Notable Humans, Saiyans, and Namekinas that I've already made.

So basically the rationale behind Beerus being immune to Mortal ki is that mortals can't sense god ki and Beerus shrugs off a ki attack like every other DBZ antagonist does at one point or another?

An expanded universe would be pretty great for DBZ. There's a lot of stories that can be told in that setting that don't involve Goku and Friends. Maybe even something involving a timejump like what Dragon Ball Online does. Some new adventures of a crew of young kids; some saiyan, some human, and a few wacky offbeat characters.

Except that they've gone out of their way to establish that Saiyan blood becomes diluted through the generations. Which is a shame, because as you've said it would've opened up a lot of possibilities for future media. Of course they can always just ignore/retcon that little detail. Every other media franchise does that when it suits them.

They could fix that by just establishing that more baby Saiyans like Goku were off planet when Planet Vegeta was destroyed. All they'd have to do is say it turns out Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta were wrong about them and Goku being the last Saiyans.

I actually noticed something similar watching Kai, during the Saiyan saga when Raditz is telling Goku about the Saiyan business model there's a cut to a still image of a few Saiyans climbing into their pods while other Saiyans wish them farewell, one of the Saiyans in the crowd has light hair, blond if I recall. Maybe there's a minority of Saiyans that have mutations that result in a different hair color naturally?

Much like FuegoFish I too have been working on tabletop game stuff. I've expanded my DBZ races since last time I posted them here and made a DBZ Inspired class named the Shounen, all for 13th Age.
