Outgrabe: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:26, 12 December 2023

A hovering snowboard, this prototype magical item was developed by V'raag. The Outgrabe product line never got off the ground (ba dum bump) due to the difficulty of actually using it. Making full use of it requires exceptional balance and some amount of tumbling skill. Thus far, only Sir Kimo DawnBreaker has demonstrated any proficiency in using it.

Item Description[edit]

This item is a plank of white wood, about 4 feet long, with rounded ends, edged in gold and platinum, with a strange pattern inlaid in black wood on the top. There's a strap on one side, made of scaly black leather. It hovers between 5 and 8 inches off the ground, and is capable of supporting the weight of a man (up to 200 pounds). The rider leaves no tracks behind. An Outgrabe only works over solid surfaces.

-===Ride Outgrabe===
-Riding the Outgrabe is difficult at best. This check allows you move your normal speed, and use the hustle or run actions.
-===Need for Speed===
-You may push the limit and add up to 20’ to your base speed. However, you must declare how fast you are attempting to go before rolling your ''Balance'' check, and failure works as normal.
-===Ride Outgrabe in battle===
-You may ride the Outgrabe in battle, and still fight as though you were on foot.
-===Fast Mount or Dismount===
-You can attempt to mount or dismount from the Outgrabe as a free action, provided that you still have a move action available that round. If you fail the ''Balance'' check, mounting or dismounting is a move action.
-===Ollie===
-When riding the Outgrabe, you may make ''Jump'' checks as normal. If you fail your ''Balance'' check, you fall off the Outgrabe and take the appropriate falling damage (at least 1d6 points). This usage does not take an action, but is part of your movement.
-===Bail Out===
-You can react instantly to try to take no damage when you fall off the Outgrabe—when you fail a ''Balance'' check, or enter an anti-magic zone, for example. If you fail your ''Tumble'' check, you take 1d6 points of falling damage. This usage does not take an action.
-===Tricks are not for Kids===
-You can also use the Outgrabe to entertain an audience (as though using the Perform skill). All terrain modifiers listed under the ''Tumble'' skill apply, except “sloped or angled”, which actually provides a +2 circumstance bonus to the skill check.
-====Action====
-Varies. Mounting or dismounting normally is a move action. Other checks are a move action, a free action, or no action at all, as noted above.
-==New Feats==
-===Sky Surfer===
-[general]
-This feat allows you to coax extra functionality out of the Outgrabe.
-;Extreme Ollie:When riding the Outgrabe, you get a +5 bonus on your ''Jump'' check.  Additionally, your jumping distance is not limited by your height.
-;Slow fall:When riding the Outgrabe, you gain the slow fall ability as a monk of 4th level.  Alternately, if you already have the slow fall ability, you may use it as a monk of 4 levels higher. This requires a ''Balance'' check of DC 20, to keep the Outgrabe underneath you.
-;Extreme speed:You may use the Need for Speed ability with no maximum amount of additional speed.
