This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site.

Banished Sorcerer

The Banished Sorcerer appeared in the Würstreich as a foreign dignitary of some distant & unpronounceable realm shrouded in incense smoke & mystery - a dubious claim that none were in a position to refute. It uses simple illusions to disguise its true power & understanding of the mystic arts & the technological wizardry of the Reptilian races. With its nimble, thieving companion & a conveniently selective understanding of the human concept of personal property, it's no surprise that the Banished Sorcerer ran afoul of the law soon after its arrival in Brüttelburg.

Beefy Barbarian

human ∙ wild ∙ fighter

When you succeed in a STR Test against an Encounter, gain 1 Luck󰀣

+2 󰀆 | +6 󰀰 | +3 󰀣
