Character Name - Name your character that is doomed to die

Each class comes with things you'll need to start your journey through the darkness of the 'verse.

Once you see a Class you think is interesting, using Omnisearch in game, typing in the Class you like in the search field, then sharing the resulting Article to the Journal will help you find the following information:

Your class may actually give you an attack or weapon specific to the class as well.

Randomize, choose, or create your own origin story for the character in the field below the "Class" field.

Randomize, choose, or create your own Class Feature for the character in the field below the background/origin field.

These Features will often times give you special actions you can take during a game specific to the, almost subclass like, character you are playing. These Features can be anything from a new attack/weapon/item/Tribute/animal given, a skill you're particularly good at (ultimately lowering the Difficulty to pass certain rolls), or a table of possible items you can craft.

Your Class will tell you to roll a certain die to determine your starting Armor, up to a d4. (and give you any restrictions you might have on certain types of Armor) You can also spend any starting credits on grabbing some armor if your GM allows it.

The heavier your Armor the less likely you are to dodge an attack, but have larger damage reduction if hit. (often times negating the damage altogether)

You may start with a Riot Helmet while rolling your Starting Equipment or you can buy one for 12 CR. Riot Helmets function in two ways:

Each of the 4 Abilities are rolled with 3d6 and then a Modifier is created with the resulting total. Place the Modifier in the fields next to each Attribute.

Before matching a Modifier to your roll, don't forget to add or subtract numbers to the initial roll depending on our Class selected.

After self improving a character, an Ability can never exceed +6 or -3.

Example: 3d6 + 2 for Strength

Don't forget to check the Class you've chosen for situationally specific rolls when dealing with Abilities. (i.e. All normal Agility tests are reduced by 2, going from DR12 to DR10)

These dropdowns represents a Würm infection. Every time you enter into close range with something infected by The Grimm, there is a chance you too will become infected. Once infected.

When in close contact with The Grimm, roll a d6. On a 1 or a 2 you have become infected. (If you've suffered damage that would otherwise cause an open wound, those chances double, roll 2d6, any result of 1 or 2 means infection)

Once infected, randomize this field and use the God's "... Parasitic Pains" Action.

Every day thereafter, test Toughness DR16

Misspent Youth, Battle Scars, and Irritating Idiosyncrasies can all be either randomized, chosen, or created as you see fit for the character!
​

Description

Here you can place a description of your character if you'd like. You can also toggle this portion of the sheet to be visible to anyone who chooses to view your character while in the game if the "Public Description" toggle is 'on/green'.

The number of Favors you have to start with are, again, stated in the Class you've chosen as a die roll (normally either a d2 or a d4).

When used, Favors can turn the Player's bad luck around, or possibly give them a better chance of survival and success. You can use an Favor to do one of the following:

Favors can be gained back after at least 6 hours of rest, at which time the player rolls their Class's starting Favor die again to gain back that amount of Favor's back.

Your Hit Points are calculated as Toughness + a certain die roll according to Class. You can start this game with 1HP, but no less.

Everyone rolls a Presence + d4 every morning. This is the amount of times you can use Tributes for the day. (You'll find an Action named "Daily Neuromancy Points" in every player's 'Action' tab)

For Example:

You have 1 Tribute, and roll 3 Neuromancy points. You can use that Tribute up to 3 times that day.

You have 4 Tributes, and roll 2 Neuromancy points. You can use any 2 of those 4 Tributes that day.

Here is where you place the credits you've been given according to your chosen Class.

Weapons, much like Armor, are decided as your Class has you roll a certain die to determine your starting Weapon, up to a d10.

Tributes can be used thanks to Neuromancy. The number of Tributes you start with is determined by your Class and if you happen to roll a Tribute on your Starting Equipment tables. You can use either the Randomize Hacked Tribute or Randomize Encrypted Tribute Action in Alchemy to quickly set you up with a Tribute to use.

Use the "Starting Equipment" roll table Action or roll each of the following tables individually:

D6

D12

D12

Your Game Master will decide when it's time for you characters to get improve/level up.

When your character Improves, 2 things happen:

(You'll find 2 Actions named "Getting Better - ..." to assist in quick character improvements. You can find these Actions by clicking the Add Action button under the 'Action' tab for Players)

Dice rolling in Vast Grimm are considered Tests. Tests involve rolling a single d20 and adding or subtracting your Ability Modifier from the result of the die roll.

To succeed in a test, you will roll against a Difficulty Rating and attempt to roll at or over the Rating (Shown as the - Ability to be used - then the letters DR - then the number rating of the Difficulty)
​

For Example - Agility DR12

All Normal rolls (not easy, not too hard) are made at DR12. More than that number is considered more difficult and tests less than 12 are easier the lower it becomes.

The GM rarely ever makes rolls in Vast Grimm. If they ever need to roll for a creature, they will roll a raw d20 (no Ability bonuses) against the desired DR.

When the PC's first encounter an NPC that isn't immediately thirsty for blood, an NPC Reaction roll can be made to determine their "reaction" to the PCs. (You'll find a GM Action named "Creature Reaction" under the 'Tools' tab)

Roll 1d6

1-3 Enemies go first

4-6 YOUR LEGION goes first

Once it's the PC's turn, Agility + d6 will determine each individual's Initiative within the group (You'll find an Action named "Individual Initiative" in every player's 'Action' tab)

During a Round you have enough time to draw a weapon, move and attack (use a Tribute etc.). Swapping batteries counts as an attack. There are 10 rounds in one minute.

Movement is purposely left up to the GM to decide. The GM will say whether or not what you want to do is possible within the range you are currently.

Test Strength DR12 (unless GM says otherwise; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought)

Test Presence DR12 (unless GM says otherwise; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought)

Test Agility DR12 (unless GM says otherwise or type of Armor being worn; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought or Medium/Heavy Armor)

When the fight isn't going the enemies way, some enemies will need to roll Morale to see if fighting to the death is worth it. (You'll find a GM Action named "Moral" under the 'Tools' tab)

Three conditions could cause your enemies to roll Moral:

To test Morale, roll 2d6 and compare to the enemies stated Morale value. If the rolled total is above the creature's Morale value, roll a follow up d6 with the following results: (You'll find a GM Action named "Demoralized" under the 'Tools' tab)

If the creature does not have a Morale value, the creature fights to the bloody end.

If one of the Grimm is demoralized it (1-3) flees or (4-6) ejects a Würm that was inhabiting its shell of a body. The Würm will slither down the nearest crack or cranny to escape while it's host collapses into a bag of meat.

Everyone rolls a Presence + d4 every morning. This is the amount of times you can use Tributes for the day. (You'll find an Action named "Daily Neuromancy Points" in every player's 'Action' tab)

As long as you have a Neuromancy Point left for the day, you can attempt to use a Tribute.

To use a Tribute - Test Presence DR12

When Tributes don't go as planned and (if the GM wills it) on a Crit or Fumble, they may ask you to randomize an effect using the Cataclysmic Condemnation roll Action. The game plays out with the result.

Every time before dealing out damage, whether against you or an enemy, don't forget to reduce the damage by a character/creature's Armor or Riot Helmet.
​
There are no modifiers added to a weapons stated damage dealt.

Without food or water, no HP is restored while resting and after three days of Starving, PC loses d4 HP per day.

A PC infected by a Würm restores 1 HP each day without food as the Würm shares its strength with its host.

If HP is taken down below zero, your character is super DEAD.

If taken down to exactly 0 HP, you are considered Broken and might not yet be dead...maybe...

Once Broken, roll d4:

There are several ways to heal damage in Vast Grimm:

Batteries can be recharged at a rate of 3 charges per hour when plugged into a source of energy. Alternatively a solar charger can be used to recharge up to 4 batteries at 2 charges per hour.

Oftentimes YOUR LEGION might want to score a starship. One member of YOUR LEGION should roll d6 for the group at the start of your miserable campaign. There are also two additional ships you can add randomly to your campaign, the STAR SCHOONER and the WAR FRIGATE.
​
Every day there is a 1 in 4 chance your ship will break down.

Most ships travel one astrosec in a day’s time and can make it from one end of the system to the other in 10 days.

Life in the 'verse is depressing and dangerous. A list of available, legally or not, "Pharms" are listed below:

Each pharm comes with a chance of addiction. Addiction should be rolled every time the pharm is used unless otherwise described in the description of the pharm. Characters who become addicted must continue to take the product at least once per day or suffer from Withdrawal.

Every day at dawn the GM will roll a die (die size depending on how long before the end of everything is agreed upon by players and GM)
​
On a 1, a Torment is rolled and the 'verse changes accordingly. The same Torment cannot befall the 'verse more than once. (You'll find a GM Action named "Torments" under the 'Tools' tab)

To signify the end of the 'verse (game) and on the 7th Torment, you will always activate:
​
​7:7 The day of the darkest blessings are upon us! Let us give thanks and praise to The Rot, Neuroc, Tergus, The Cruor, Rmethus, and Carnitious. For today the great würms conjoin together again as one. It is through them that THEY shall usher in the Vast Grimm.
