Salt Factory

Note, this class is a joke based off of the term "Salty" used to describe somebody who is upset or mad about something, usually on the internet. That being said, this class is perfectably usable in a game. Use the power of your enemys rage, or "salt" to gain power. The Salt Factory uses insults to create rage and sadness within foes, which then allows you to ethier drain that feeling to power yourself, or use it against them to gain a temporary ally, get information, or do more damage against those who have been influenced by your salty powers. The Salt Factory class also allows you to access a small number of "memes" which provide various spell like abilities.

Making a Salt Factory

The Salt Factory plays like a fighter in combat. They wield large two handed weapons and heavy armor. A Salt Factory should generally have high intimidation and bluff, as it will be useful for using abilitys to create "Salt" within a target. A Salt Factory generally is tanky, but does not have as high damage as a barbarian or fighter. They instead rely on their abilities in a crowd control type of way.

Abilities: Charisma is used for the Intimidation and Bluff skills. It is also used for activating "Memes" the Salt Factory has. All of the salt factories special abilities are also Charisma based. Strength and Constitution are important for combat situations.

Races: Any race may take up the way of the Salt Factory. Humans, Elves and Gnomes are the most common Salt Factories.

Class Features

Salt Vision: You are able to detect anyone you have salted or anyone who is salty at the time. This allows you to find their exact location within a kilometer radius, and counts as darkvision for the path towards the target if it is night time.

Salty Strength: Your attacks deal x2 damage to these who you have salted, and only while they are salted.

Salt Drain: If you successfully make someone salty, and you do not already take advantage of their saltiness, you may cure them of their saltiness, and gain a +2 to attack rolls for 10 minutes. Stacks until +6 attack as been obtained.

Improved insult: You may use bluff, Intimidate or Diplomacy for insult rolls. You may roll again if one insult fails, but you cannot do this more then once per usage.

Salty Saviour: You may roll a bluff, intimidation or diplomacy to get any target you have salted you serve you for as long as they are salted.

Comeback: If you fall under the effect of a spell via a failed will save, you may counter it by rolling an insult roll. If it succeeds, you are no longer under the influence of that spell, while the caster is now salted. This does not count as an insult use.

Crystallized Tears: You may harvest the tears of someone as tiny crystals. You may eventually forge this into a mighty weapon. Any weapons made with crystallized tears have x2 to attack against these who are salted.
