The Schoule Master, a GLOG class

Schoule is a bit like a combination of every sport or field game you can think of. Most versions include a point-scoring basket or post of some sort in a central part of each town, and one or more inflated pig’s bladders as balls. It is often played on  east days or if the weather is fair during the fallow season.


The Schoule Master takes it way too seriously.

You train all year for the chance to show the surrounding villages the true meaning of pain.



Backgrounds: Bully, Blacksmith, Distracted Scholar

Starting Equipment: Schouleball, custom shoulder pads and helmet (as leather), a long pole, staff, bat, racquet or glove.



A: Like A Greased Pig, Rally

B: Catfall

C: An Unstoppable Object

D: Tactics, Encourage


+1 to Movement and +1 to hit with Ranged attacks every template


A: Like a Greased Pig

You have Advantage to escape grapples from opponents.


A: Rally

Add +[level] to Hireling and Follower Morale Saves.


B: Catfall

You treat falls as if they were 20’ shorter. If you are knocked prone, you can Save to immediately spring to your feet.


C: An Unstoppable Object

If you spend an entire turn moving, you can push through an enemy's space without triggering an attack of opportunity


D: Tactics:

Yell some advice at an ally, who may make an additional attack. This uses your action.

If your party is made up of multiple Schoule Players, you may use this feature to make your attacks at the same time, choosing who uses which roll.



D: Encourage

Once per day, yell especially effective encouragement, healing your allies for 1d4 HP.

 One of my players wanted to play a character "like Jordan Love." So here's a class to play the dungeon-crawling quarterback of your fancy. Heavily inspired by the Tactician from Goblin Guts.

  1. Not bad! Being a greased pig is never a bad talent.

    Other ideas: team attack with another schoule player if they roll attack simultaneously, ability to challenge enemies to schoule ball, tackle.

    1. thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and included your idea about the team attack with another schoule player as part of the Tactics ability. I might redo this class later to include some of your other suggestions. heaven knows that I need to at least fix the formatting

Infernal Growth #2 Post-Session writeup

Second session follows immediately after the first. We were able to go a lot longer, this time, and really get to try out the combat system....
