Biopunk Quest

Post-Apocalyptic Open World!

During 2032, with evidence of World War 3 starting to boil up, you're part of a university research team into cryostasis to provide people with an option to sleep out the impending war.

You were supposed to be asleep for just a few days to test the machine. However, you awaken several, several years later.

You find that humanity as we know it seems to have been wiped out. New humanoid races populate Earth, and its almost like if the world has reverted to medieval times, ruled by "Witches" and superstition about what they call "magic": Technology.

The setting is based off a Quest (A sort of collaborative story. A bunch of anons vote for how the story continues, basically) I ran (and drew) on 4chan: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=biopunk

The setting is mature. Gore, Sex, etc will appear as appropriate for a gritty Post-Apoc world.

RACE CONVERSION

  • Pure ("Normal") Human: Human/Variant Human, awakened from cryostasis. The initial catalyst for the story, and the only ones who are literate, aside from the god-like Witches.
  • Titan: Half-Orc. Extra: Can be chosen to be Large or have +1 to a Physical Stat of your choice. Resistant to the "Plague". Illiterate and superstitious. Descendants of mass-produced super-soldiers.
  • Nymph: Half-Elf. Extra: Immune to the "Plague", and their blood is a natural remedy for it. Illiterate and superstitious. Descendants of genemod enthusiasts.
  • Warforged: Robot (Medical Droid, Warbot, etc).

Other races are available if appropriate setting flavoring is provided and approved, (different ethnicities of Nymph/Titan for example) although these presented are the main ones.

STATS, LEVELS AND EXP

Stats are 27 Point buy.
http://chicken-dinner.com/5e/5e-point-buy.html

All characters start at level 1 with default equipment. You require your current level x 5 in EXP to level up. An equal amount of EXP will be given to all participants at the end of each session.

CLASSES & ALLOWED CONTENT

All classes can be reskinned to your tastes (and should approved by the GM if its anything drastic, magic mechanics in particular; because magic doesn't exist, although semi-advanced technology and genetic modifications and whatnot, do).

Conversion suggestions:

  • Fighter/Ranger/Rouge/Barbarian/Monk/etc: These are similar enough to their real-life counterparts that much tweaks aren't needed. A wrestling enthusiast, a soldier, or an escaped criminal, for example.
  • Sorcerer: The abilities of an escaped mutant grafted for war.
  • Bard: Drug-based con-artist.
  • Life Cleric: Medical droid paraphernalia.

All UA is allowed. Multiclassing is allowed. Feats are allowed. Homebrew is allowed with GM approval.
