Slight Adjustments: Nameless Legends of GLOG

This is a work in progress. Any part of a class marked with a ? is currently undecided. Any text after // is a comment, left for your consideration. Many classes are missing the higher level abilities. Several classes are missing quite a lot of necessary parts, and will be finished as needed.

Recommended Rules

These are the rules I use. They work pretty well, but are tuned to my specific table. Hence, they are not The Rules, just recommended.

Spwack's Baseline GLOG Ruleset, using "Tragic" Death and Dismemberment
Shuffle the class list, and take a few off the top. Players then choose their class from this smaller selection
Players should not go through the entire list to choose a class, but if they have a specific concept in mind, they can search for the one that fits best
All players should roll their stats before choosing classes. Martial Classes suffer from having poor stats, which balances out Caster Classes suffering from Mishaps and Dooms
If needed, swap two stats
Characters start with three random items and three rations. If they are mostly dungeoncrawling, start with three torches. If they are mostly hexcrawling, start with a full waterskin

Level Up

Level 2: Survive an interesting session
Level 3: Complete a dungeon, quest, or journey
Level 4: Complete a Dungeon, a Quest, and a Journey

Multiclassing

All multiclassing must make sense and have some kind of narrative backing, rather than a custom "build"
Does not provide the starting gear of that class, nor any of the spells
Any reference to "level" in a class refers only to levels in that particular class
If you have all 4 levels and want to swap one out, you can do so when you would normally level up
Due to the stronger than normal abilities of each class, multiclassing can create some unusually powerful characters. This is somewhat balanced by the very strong D templates, but should be kept in mind

Spellcasting

GLOG Magic Dice Primer
MD are not expended through normal spellcasting, each spell accrues 1 Chaos Dice that lasts until the next dawn
[invest] duration, MD cannot be used until the spell ends, used for permanent effects
[X], the [sum] of the spell is fixed no matter how much MD are used (even zero), still roll CD
If you roll triples and have multiple classes with Dooms, all apply at the same time
If you cast a spell as a cantrip, using 0 MD, you don't gain a CD

Optional Rules

Martial classes get +2 to two relevant stats at first level
Level up at the end of any session when you have done new, interesting and dangerous things. As you reach higher levels, things that were once interesting and dangerous are probably less so
If all of your stats are below 10 or are otherwise terrible, you can choose to reroll all stats (opt: describe how that character died a horrible death). If you keep the bad rolls, you may be eligible for a Unique Secret Reward
For a table with N players, take N+1 classes for the smaller set. Whichever class isn't taken becomes the villain of the first adventure
Certain very specific classes are a shuffle of another. For instance, the Spy class is an Assassin that gets template C at first level, then ABD
Incredibly fancy magic robes grant +1 MD, but give disadvantage on all rolls while in a melee

Sort class list by:

Berserker What is best in life?

A Recruit: Your first roll in combat automatically succeeds. You can share this with your allies if you are all doing the exact same thing
B Infantry: While fighting in a formation, you or someone else in the formation can make a second attack each round

D Captain: If you are currently defending an area, you won't die until it is either safe or overrun

Bonus: You are exceptionally good at spinning tall stories of your exploits. They are always received with suitable amounts of awe and free drinks, and sometimes, you even learnt a neat trick in the process (one day, you might end up like a Zouave)

Brawler You shoulda seen the other guy
Gear: fist-wraps, ?, ?

A I Can Do This All Day: Heal [4] after taking damage in combat, any Mishaps last until you clear all CD // This sucks if you are a wizard! Hell yeah! Anti-synergy!

D ?

Bonus: ?

Gladiator We who are about to die, salute you

D Signature Move: ?

// Instead of taking damage, you can drop your weapon, do a flip, and if you have another weapon, draw it as well

Warden (a.k.a. Guardian, Bodyguard) Ha! They've surrounded us! Now they can't run away!
Gear: hooked warhammer, shield, medium armour

A Choose one ally as your Ward. They can't take damage while you're still mobile and defending them. If you are adjacent and actively preparing to stop the blow, you block the attack perfectly. If you are adjacent but not prepared, make a standard defence roll. If you have to run and leap in front of the attack, you are automatically struck. Either way, you take half damage
B Before someone tries to damage your Ward, make a free attack against them
C ?
D ?

Bonus: ?
// Combine this with Shieldbearer?

Iron Knight (a.k.a Jugger-knight) Justice on the point of a lance
Gear: full plate armour, horse, lance, no food

B Lance Charge: If you are mounted, using a large weapon, and charge at an enemy, you deal x3 damage.
C The first time you take damage in battle, heal 1d6 HP. If you meet all the other Lance Charge conditions and issue a direct personal challenge, deal x4 damage.

Bonus: Keep track of how many oaths you have fulfilled, and how many ongoing oaths you have been sorely tested to keep. Whenever you swear a new oath, anyone listening can tell how honourable you are. If you ever break a single oath, you can't use this until you atone. All true knights are Oathbound. Oathbreakers will never, ever, find what it is they truly seek.

Green Knight Honour above all
Gear: broadsword, rope, heavy armour

A The first time you'd be killed, you survive. You might be able to recharge this if you complete a noble quest, but it's not guaranteed
B Reliable Blows: If you hit/miss (choose one) your first attack, make a second attack
C Courtly Challenge: If you challenge someone to a fair test of strength, skill or wits, they'll probably accept. If they are magical or unnatural, their refusal or less will result in loss of power
D ?

Gem Knight Diamonds are a girls best friend
Gear: Ten heart-gems, ornate sword, ?

A Break a heart-gem to block incoming damage. If this is from an attack, reflect the damage on your attacker
B The round after breaking a heart-gem, you can make two extra attacks
C You can give a heart-gem to your allies. Each can only carry one heart-gem at a time, allowing them to block one instance of damage as it breaks
D When you break a heart-gem and reflect an attack, you can either triple the damage, or make it an area attack

Bonus: You can find more heart-gems in odd location in dungeons, behind waterfalls, buried beneath treasure chests, inside the mouths of statues. A normal sized dungeon, or one floor of a megadungeon, contains at least one heart-gem and probably more. Cursed heart-gems also appear inside of powerful enemies while you dissect them

Legendary Item: Crown of the Gem-King - Causes any nearby heart-gems or other precious stones to resonate loudly

Sharpshooter So long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead
Gear: longbow, extra quiver, lucky arrow

Bonus: ?

Duelist En Guarde!

A Riposte: Choose an enemy at the start of the round. If they hit you with a melee weapon, they deal no damage. If they miss, make a free attack

C Underhanded: The first time you fail a roll in combat, you can do something slightly dishonourable and succeed instead
D "Inconceivable!": You can make a flurry of 10 attacks in a single round. Afterwards, drop to 0 HP. Can't use this again until you heal to full

Bonus: ?

Gear: maul, medium armour, spiked boots

A Ground Slam: As an action, everyone directly adjacent to you must save or fall over

C Blockade Stomp: So long as you are underground, you can take 1d6 damage to raise a wall of stone
D Earthquake: You can hit the ground to send a wave of rock rippling forwards, making an attack within spear-range

Bonus: ?

Executioner (a.k.a Headhunter) A fine addition to my collection
Gear: great-axe, light armour, ?

A Trophy: At the beginning of combat, present the skull or head of a creature, the first time you’d be hit by an attack in this combat by that type of creature, take zero damage
B Mark For Death: If you spend one round examining a target, and one round declaring your intentions, you deal x2 damage and have Adv. against that target until you place another Mark
C Obliterate: If you deal 10+ damage in a single attack to something that has a head, it has to Save or Die. Anything you kill this way is dead for good. If it succeeds the Save, you lop off a limb instead
D As part of a Mark For Death, you can crush the skull of a notable monster/person. Mark For Death then multiplies your damage by the number of notable skulls you are carrying

Shieldbearer Simplicity. Efficiency. Not having your brains splattered on the thirsty ground. All good things about a shield
Gear: Three shields

A Shields are three times as effective in your hands
B Bash: When you break a shield, make a free attack

A Twin Attack: You can make two attacks per round, against a different target each time
B Spin Attack: If you haven't moved this turn, you can make an attack against every enemy you can reach
C Combo Block: If you hit someone with an attack, they deal half damage to you this round
D ?

Bonus: ?

// The Dervish breaks the pattern of martial classes by having the offensive ability on template A, and and the defensive ability as late as C. As such it is a powerful level 1 dip, but balanced out by the tendency to run directly into multi-melees and not hold shields

Spellsword An elegant weapon, for a more civilised age
Gear: Magic sword, lead-lined scabbard, ?

A You can parry spells as if they were physical attacks
B When you cast a spell or activate a magic item, you can make an extra attack. +1 MD

Really Good Dog The goodest boy
Gear: collar, teeth (as shortsword), fur (as light armour)

You are a dog. You can't speak, but you can communicate with those you know very well. You have incredible senses of smell and hearing. You have no hands.

A Best Friend: Choose another character as your Best Friend. You both have advantage when you roll against the same threat, at the same time, and are protecting each other
B Takedown: When you bite something human-sized or smaller, it either falls down, or you make an extra attack
C Ineffable Scent: You can sniff a different way to smell weird stuff. This lets you detect Poison, Magic, Undead, and Evil, though you can rarely smell many specifics
D ?

Dog Quest: At a certain point, you will attract the attention of the Dog Barons. They will give you a quest to prove your doggishness. Example quests include killing a Cat Prince (rakshasa) who is hiding in town somewhere, digging into a forgotten barrow and returning with the femur from the wight king who was buried there, or rescuing some asshole prince who fell down a well in orcish territory. (This will probably involve the other PCs chasing after you shouting "Where are you going, boy? Come back!")

Demon Blade No guilt, no suffering, just put your trust in me and we can do anything we want.
Gear: random blade-art, ?, ?

A Cursed Sword: Anyone that touches you is under your control until they are no longer touching you. If they pass a Save, they can take one action to try get rid of you before the control takes over. You can only control one person at a time. Use their STR, DEX and CON. You can only be harmed by something that would damage a magic sword
B Harvest Soul: The round after a creature dies, you can spend a full round harvesting the soul by digging around in its corpse. The power of the [soul] = slain creature HD. This heals your current wielder 1d6+[soul] HP. You can store three souls at a time, talk to them, and use them to fuel blade-arts
C ?
D Demon Form: ?

Chariot
A person who willingly joins with you (instead of just being dominated by you, and without coercion or threats from your allies) becomes your "chariot". When you are wielded by a chariot, you get several advantages:

Reduce all fire damage by the level of the strongest angel, paladin, or goodly cleric you've ever killed
Take 1d6 damage to your chariot to deal +1d6 damage on a hit

Demonic Blade-arts

Dance of Hell: You function as a dancing weapon for [soul] rounds. You still maintain control of your chariot
Demon Claw: For one round, you can make all the melee attacks of you were the highest level demon you've ever killed
Deathgrip: If a creature within 50ft fails a save, it is pulled to adjacent to you, you can make an attack

Salvage the Chariot: Instead of your wielder dying, they survive with X HP and are stunned for 1d6-X rounds

Bonus: You learn a new blade-art whenever you kill a dungeon boss. You should also track the highest level demon, cleric/paladin/angel you've killed

Paladin (a.k.a. Sword of Heaven) I am the drum on which The Lord is beating out his message.
Gear: sword, holy symbol (slightly heretical), medium armour

A Smite: Add 1d8 damage when you hit a melee attack, or when you shoot a ranged attack. You can also Smite weapons to parry or physical objects to break. Every use of Smite is a Sin. (see below)
B Lay On Hands: Heals 1d6 HP. It is a Sin to use this on yourself, or anything that isn't pure and good. Can also be used to Smite a curse, demonic possession, or unnatural disease without fatally harming the bearer. Smite d10
C Martyr: Anything that kills you also dies, horribly. Smite d12
D Aspect: Gain three angelic modifications to your body and soul. These can be haloes of eyes, angelic wings, a voice of divine authority etc. Using them in an exceptionally powerful way might be a Sin. Smite d20

Sins: Everyone is a Sinner, but you're just held to a higher standard. Every Sin you perform in the mortal realm is a scratch on the armaments of Heaven. Sometimes necessary, sometimes just weakness, but there must be an accounting. Every seven Sins you perform, an Angelic Overseer will visit you to take stock of your progress and failings. If you've only Smote villains and the hungry dead, your Overseer will likely give you a pat on the back and rubber-stamp your approval.

Bonus: If you have thrown yourself into battle against the forces of darkness, aiming only to thwart the enemy and protect the innocent with no thought for your own life, you will have proven yourself worthy of a Noble Steed. Such a creature will always come when you call and will return to Heaven if it dies.

Chosen One I'll defeat you with friendship, and this gun I found!
Gear: bizarre hairstyle, weird sword, light armour

D20 OF DESTINY: All Chosen One abilities require the D20 OF DESTINY. If the D20 OF DESTINY rolls a critical fail for any reason, it is lost forever, and so are all your Chosen One levels

A Fated To Succeed: If you fail a roll, you can reroll with the D20 OF DESTINY, any result other than a critical failure is a success. If you use the D20 OF DESTINY for the initial roll, a failure becomes a success, a normal success becomes critical, and critical becomes superlative
B Destined For Victory: You can add the D20 OF DESTINY to your damage rolls
C Pass The Torch: You can allow your allies to use the D20 OF DESTINY. Only one character can use it at a time
D True Destiny: The D20 OF DESTINY no longer disappears on a critical failure. Instead, a critical fail results in something foul and malignant appearing in the world, or getting exponentially worse. What arises can take many forms, but it's usually related to some of your past adventuring

Bonus: ?

Demigod The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
Gear: fabulous cloak, strange artefact, divine parentage

A Birthright: Set a stat of your choice to 18
B Implausible: You can take a -10 penalty to a roll to attempt impossible feats. +3 to stat

Champion After all, a Hero Does Right
Gear: Weapon of choice, chosen mask, colourful outfit

A Fateful Demise: You know exactly how you'll die. You can be mangled, dismembered, scarred, drowned, crushed and tormented, but you won't die. You can always be killed by poison, which bypasses Fate completely
B Idealist: While you're fighting to achieve your Ideal, you make two attacks per round, and have advantage on all saves against anything directly opposing your Ideal
C ?
D ?

A Live and Die by the Sword: Blades do not bend or break in your hands unless you will it. You can swallow up to seven swords whole, and draw them from your mouth in an instant. You never miss against archers, the mindless undead, or peasants. You can only be permanently killed by a sword
B Speak with Swords. If you name, befriend and care for a sword, it will make an extra attack per round for you, choosing which target
C Sovereignty: If you call the true (and usually secret) name of a sword, it will fly to your hand
D Absolute Violence: The moment battle begins, you can roll a die of any size. Take that much unblockable damage, if the damage taken is equal or greater than the HD of your foes, you black out and reawaken drenched in their blood

Bonus: ?

Speciality, (starting equipment), golem traits:

Clay (potters wheel, three clay blocks, sledgehammer). No traits
Stone (chisel, pickaxe, lantern). Take min damage from attacks while upright, effective at destroying structures, very slow
Metal (portable anvil, hammer, three ingots). Extra defence and damage, expensive and difficult to make

Doom
Golemists don't have the usual Doom track. Triples result in the newborn Golem gaining free-will, no longer losing 1 HP each time-increment, and permanently absorbing the MD used in their creation. The MD are returned if the Golem is destroyed.

Opt: If the magic empowering a golem wears out, the body can be enchanted again. Some maintenance is required each time, or Chaos Dice are added to the spell.
Opt: Some Golemists build a secret weakness into their creations, such as a hidden symbol that can deactivate the golem permanently.
Opt: A Doom that results in a Golem that is amenable to the party can be played as a character. They start with Automaton A + Demigod A (even though they are neither).

Truenamer The pathway to abilities some consider to be... unnatural
Gear: ?, ?, ?

Truenaming always has a major impact on the world, but it might not be what you were aiming for. FIRE will set something alight at random, but BURN DOOR is more accurate. Simple, subtle and specific requests are more likely to work correctly, especially when using more tiles. Complex or blunt commands can result in your intentions being twisted, but it will always have a major effect on the world.
