Keeper

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Classes

Keepers are nefarious during combat, hanging in the backlines as they subtly use nature against their foes. Flies swarm, roots trip, and spores suffocate the keeper’s enemies without them ever knowing it was the keeper who did it—if they do it right. Primal magic also allows them to heal allies. They focus on attacking until an ally is damaged, at which point they get within melee range to heal or cleanse.

Tactics

Keepers have a base AP pool of 3 AP.

1. (Level 4+) May begin the encounter with the Shapeshifted status, if trying to blend in with a natural environment.
2. Guards or uses the Magical Shield ability (level 3+), if they believe they have the AP to spare.
3. Wild walks to:
   • Get within range of a target or an ally, if they’re not already in range, and
   • Stay as far away from danger as possible.
4. If inhibited, moves or scrambles to:
   • Get away from the originator,
   • Get within range of an ally, if they’re not already in range, and
   • Stay as far away from danger as possible.
5. Drops awareness or sneaks (level 3+), if they’re not perceived.
6. (Level 6) Uses the Renascence ability, if:
   • Themselves or an ally is unstable, and
   • The keeper hasn’t used the ability this session.
7. (Level 2+) Cleanses, if themselves or an ally has a negative status.
8. Uses the Restoration ability, if themselves or an ally is unstable.
9. (Level 6) Summons gaia’s wrath, if:
   • There are 2 or more targets within range,
   • The ability would cause more damage to targets than allies,
   • All allies within range have no more than 3 minor injuries, and
   • They haven’t used the ability this session.
10. (Level 3+) Soothes a beast, if they’re a big enough threat.
11. (Level 5+) Erases an object, if doing so would give them an advantage.
12. Roll a die based on the keeper’s level:
    • At level 4, flip a coin or roll 1d2:
      1. Calls a primal swarm onto the target.
      2. Shapeshifts into an appropriate creature.
    • At levels 5-6, roll 1d4:
      1. Re-roll.
      2. Calls a primal swarm onto the target.
      3. Shapeshifts into an appropriate creature.
      4. Calls a creature.
13. Calls a primal swarm onto the target.

Shapeshifted Tactics

Shapeshifted keepers act as the creature to which they resemble, except that they remove the Shapeshifted status if they or an ally is unstable.
