04-08-07, 01:43 PM Has anyone ever made a kirby role playing game. I doubt it. This thread is intended to be a game made by the many, for kirbys. To keep it good a few changes have to be made.
1) Kirby is now a race, and they may be any color
2) The Suction Attack now steals special attacks, subtypes, special qualities, and weapons.
3) When Kirbys finish an adventure, they turn their current suction attack into a hat.

Now for Kirbys racial info.
Outsider: As an outsider, Kirbys can't be raised. They start with 1 racial hit die.
-2 str, +4 dex. Kirbys are strong for tiny creatures, but also fast.
Tiny. Kirbys are about a foot across. They have a +2 bonus to atk and AC
Kirby base speed is 15 ft. They also have a fly speed of 10 feet.
Low light vision: Kirbys can see twice as far in moonlight as humans
Powerful Build: Due to the general roundness of Kirbys they wield weapons and armor as if they are small
Suction: Kirbys have the ability to suck up enemies as if initiating a grapple. They treat their size as medium when grappling in this way. If they pin their opponent, they suck them in. Two turns later, they are ejected if they still have over -1 hp. If they don't kirbys can take their subtype, and one special attack or quality. Alternatively, they can gain any template that grants LA of less than 4. They can't take any special attack or quality, or any subtype if it is an ability two above their level(stopping them from taking powerful spells and such at low levels)
Hatmaker: Kirbys have the ability to craft hats out of the qualities of their foes. When a Kirby has gained a subtype/template/special attack/special quality, he can remove the quality from himself onto a hat. A specific hat must be used for each subtype/template, etc. Researching the design costs 1000 gp for a subtype, and LA squared*1000 gp for a template. Special attacks and qualities cost 10,000 gp. Creating the hat later costs xp equal to 1/5 the GP cost. However, this comes at the price of not being able to use any body slot items besides hats.
Entirely Head: Due to the fact that kirbys are all head, they are immune to the vorpal effect of weapons
Favored Class: Fighter
Level Adjustment: +1

Kirbys are round puffy creatures of any color. They have slightly darker feet, and are usually peaceful. They are almost always Chaotic Good. They get along well with most races, and allow any race to come into their homes. Their homes are usually plant like things, along the lines of mushrooms and trees with doors(made up, It never really specifies)

04-08-07, 01:56 PM The suction ability is horribly powerful and vague. Same with hatmaker. Keep in mind that, at least according to the TV show, Kirby is just one of a race of creatures, and his abilities are fairly unique (i.e., class levels and feats).

I worked out Kirby in the Mario D20 System as a 12 Hit Die Outsider with the abilities of a level 10 mimic (a prestige class). Check it out!

Those rules are generic enough (no paladins, for instance) that you could easily run a game similar to the Kirby TV show using them. All you need to write up are races, monsters, and prestige classes specific to the setting.

04-08-07, 08:16 PM I am basing this off the videogames, not the TV show. Until now, I didn't even know their was a TV show. But I will modify suction and hat maker. Probably the level adjustment too. Mimic does work pretty well though. So does the outsider thing.

04-18-07, 03:35 AM -2 str, +2 dex. Kirbys are strong for tiny creatures, but also fast

If they are strong for tiny creatures then why the -2?

04-18-07, 03:37 AM If they are strong for tiny creatures then why the -2?

Because it should be -4, possibly -8.

k thank you i never had to play a tiny creatures before so i was confused

Outsider: As an outsider, Kirbys can't be raised. They start at 1HD, but HD increases by 2 per level.

this dos not work for me it means that he will be level slower but when he levels it's like he jumps 2 levels above the other PC's just remove the 2 HD per level and you will be fine .

Suction: Kirbys have the ability to suck up enemies as if initiating a grapple. They treat their size as medium when grappling in this way. If they pin their opponent, they suck them in. Two turns later, they are ejected if they still have over -1 hp. If they don't kirbys can take their subtype, and one special attack or quality. Alternatively, they can gain any template that grants LA of less than 4.

ok limit this so that they can't get ability from creatures that have a ECL bigger then the kirbys level this stops a kirby of first level (ECL 4) from finding a mindflare(ECL 15) at -1 somewhere (i know not likely but lets say it can happing k?) and getting mind blast or spell resistance 25 ether one powerful for a level 4 character. also do you kill the creature that you use this on?

-6 str, +4 dex. Kirbys are strong for tiny creatures, but also fast

right i never sad that you should make it -6 i was confused about the -2 because i was thinking from a Medium creature point of view sorry for not making that clear. If it is -6 they are no longer strong for tiny creatures but average

04-19-07, 06:12 PM Yeah, I know, Thomor did. But now I am going to make another race, so bear with me.
Meta Knight
Outsider-As an outsider, Meta Knight can't be raised. They also gain 1 racial hit die per level.
+2 dex. Meta Knight is stronger than Kirby, but he is also slower.
Tiny. Meta Knights are about a foot across, with small feet and arms coming out of their body. They have a +2 bonus to attack and AC.
Powerful Build-Due to the roundness and general physique of a Meta Knight, they wield weapons as if they are small.
Entirely Head-Due to the fact Meta Knight is entirely head, they are immune to the vorpal effect of weapons.
Meta Armor-Meta's armor is a tiny full plate that gains +1 magical enhancement every 4 levels.
Meta Weapon-Meta's weapon is a small greatsword, short spear, or heavy flail. It increases magically as the armor.
LA+3

04-20-07, 03:37 AM Isn't Kriby's species called Warpstar Knight... or was that his occupation?
Holy_Beholder
04-20-07, 08:25 PM I have absolutely no idea. Though I would guess occupation. Now it is time to make some of Kirbys gear.
Warp Star
Speed: Fly 80 ft (perfect)
HP:=1/2 Kirby's
Hardness=1/2 Kirby's Level.
Star RodArtifact
Melee Ranged
1d10x4 1d8x3. 50 feet
All types All types

Penetrates all DR, deals real damage through any regeneration, +5 attack and damage, has only 1 range increment, can be used by Kirby if he swallows it.

05-05-07, 10:46 AM In retrospect, I probably should have answered in one post and added the gear in another.
