West of Ys (CabinFever2024) - Ver1.0

The Dark Caribbean is filled with all manner of strangeness,
though none so ancient or strange as the mysteries lying

deep beneath the waves, West of Ys.
This supplement includes 4 new classes to add even more

bizarre characters to your Pirate Borg campaign.
If rolling for classes, you can either roll a d12 to

determine starting class, or roll d6 + Devil’s Luck (equal
to the Devil’s Luck remaining from your last character
when they died).

ABILITIES
Toughness -2, Presence +1, Spirit +1. HP d10 ± Toughness. Begins with d2 Devil’s Luck. Roll
for starting gear as a landlubber (PB 50-52). You can use ancient relics and arcane rituals when
wearing light armor. You can’t consume ASH.
STARTING FEATURE
DIVINITY. You are a divine of the undersea. Reduce the DR of all actions by 1 if you are in
darkness or a storm. Increase DR by 1 if you are in light or there is no wind.
You do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe as mortals do. However, you must consume a bottle of
blood a week or suffer hunger. You must rest in water for a combined 14 hours a week or suffer
fatigue.
GETTING BETTER
FLOCK. When you gain experience, test Spirit DR 10 to turn a mortal into a vampiric vessel
(Morale -).
Ж Success: Gain a greater vessel (HP 6 Violence d6)
Ж Failure: Gain a lesser vessel (HP 2 Violence d4)
*You can never have more vessels than your Presence, minimum 1.
Your vessels will only take orders from you (unless you command them to follow someone else).
Whatever personality they had in life is but a distant memory compared to your holy influence
(for instance, particularly violent Dzitzimidl create violent vessels).
Vessels fail all tests unrelated to their immediate survival. When you command vessels to take
actions that require a test, you make a Presence roll against the DR of the test. If you succeed,
the vessel succeeds, if you fail, the vessel fails.
Should you perish, you may “respawn” within a vessel, taking over their body, mind, and soul.
The vessel is lost in the process, and you reform from their viscera. Doing so is not without
cost, as you must lower all your abilities by 1 (to a minimum of -3).

will follow them back to the fountain of youth, never to be seen again.
Make a new character.

someone who can help…
This class is based on real world religions practiced by people of color.

The priest(ess) is not an evil class, and should not be treated as such.
ABILITIES
Strength -2, Presence +1, Spirit +1. HP d8 ± Toughness. Begins with d4 Devil’s Luck.
Roll for starting gear as a landlubber (PB 50-52). You can use ancient relics and arcane

STARTING FEATURE
Aid of the lwa. When you begin, you know the purview of one lwa. Knowledge of
other lwa and how to call on them can be found across the Dark Caribbean.
You can call upon a lwa for aid with a Presence DR12 test. Gain -1 DR for every favor
you use when calling a lwa (name, favorite color or food, etc). On a failure, you can
force the lwa to assist, but must roll on Mystical Mishaps (PB 66). The lwa do not
suffer arrogant fools.
Lwa will never directly harm mortals. Their power is more subtle, revealing
information, manipulating hearts, and changing the environment. Players are
encouraged to creatively use the lwa, and GMs have final say on what a lwa can and
cannot do.
GETTING BETTER
When you gain experience, lower the DR to call upon a known lwa by 1.
