I’ve been workin’ out the kinks of a race-as-class for a while now. It’s become an obsession.<\/span>

<\/span>First, I wanted to build it for Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Then, a heavily house-modified version of LotFP. Now, I am using Dungeon Crawl Classics.<\/span>

<\/span>These Ape Men (Women, People, whichever you prefer) were normal run-of-the-mill ape creatures that were suddenly and recently uplifted by some unknown magical means.<\/span>

<\/span>
<\/span> While this is specifically written for DCC, it can easily be modified for any early edition DnD type game.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yon, the Magical Mutant Ape People<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

You are a mystically mutated primate with human intelligence and speech! At some point in the near past, your entire species was rapidly evolved to its present state by unknown means. You are a second generation Yon, and you and your people have no real culture of your own. You pick the appealing parts from other cultures to adopt. <\/span><\/div>\n

You are of a size in between dwarf and human. And you have a vestigial tail that is effectively useless and about half as long as the rest of your body. The exact details of how you look are up to you, the player. Keep in mind though, that based on your character’s visual looks, all other low level Yon will look like you. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here are some of the things you can do<\/span><\/p>\n

You receive d6 Hit Points<\/b> at every level! This is in addition to the hit points you had at Zero level.<\/p>\n

You’re trained in the use of the Battleaxe, Club, Dart, Javelin, Spear, Staff, Two-handed club, and Warhammer.<\/p>\n

You have big sharp teeth that causes a nasty bite. You can bite as an extra attack when in melee combat! (ATK: d14, DMG: d3+Strength Modifier)<\/p>\n

Your feet can grab and hold things. They aren’t nimble enough to be of any use in combat or to juggle, but they can hold your body weight by holding onto something. The big toe is used as a primitive thumb. You tend to walk and run on all fours.<\/p>\n

Unlike other classes, Yon gain random mutations as they are exposed to magic. Roll on the Magical Mutation Table <\/b>once every time you are affected by a magical effect that alters you in some way (fail a save vs Magic). Examples include; Failing a save against a spell, or drinking a magical potion that requires a saving throw.<\/p>\n
