Colostle: Extra Classes

These classes are the product of hundreds of

hours of using Colostle to write amazing stories,
and I want to share them with all of you in hopes
that you will be able to do the same. Even if you
don’t use them, maybe they could just be pres-
ent in your story, or even a part of your story’s
history. Thank you to Nich Angell for creating
this fantastic world, and a fantastic game to spin
stories out of it.

The Altered

Exploration Score -

Combat Score -

The Altered are the product of both ignorance and ingenuity, the
tragic outcome of physical contact with a sparkling stone found
deep in the support pillars of the Colostle. Life is harsher being
one of the Altered but it can also come with a great many strengths
with the power of rooks fused into your body.
 Character Traits Creating Your Character

The vast majority of people in the Colostle may have
never heard of this phenomenon, most who are al-
tered go into hiding or are hunted by scared villagers
and others who want to use them. The unfortunate
village workers or mining teams that dig far into
the support pillars of the Colostle may encounter
small chambers full of bright sparkling stones and
be tempted to harvest them, this is a mistake.
Those who’s skin comes into contact with these
stones are slowly altered into a small rook, with
most losing all sense of humanity and intelligence.
For a time there was no way to stop this change and
villages would be crippled by this plague, that is un-
til one adventurer uncovered ancient ruins depicting
the construction of a device that when grafted to the
body, would completely stop the ‘Rook-Spread’.
Now Roomlanders are able to be saved from losing
themselves and can even benefit from their unfor-
tunate accident, but that does not save them from
their own people. If they’re lucky, the Altered are
kept secret from other villages and cities, thus able
to live relatively normal lives within their communi-
ties. Others aren’t so lucky and live the majority of
their lives in exile and on the run, but don’t let that
make you see them as helpless.
To create your Altered character take a look at the
prompts below to give you an idea of your back-
ground story and a place to start your journey.
• Was your character affected by the ‘Rook-Spread’
as a young child? Do they resent their caretakers
for letting this happen, or have they embraced the
changes?
• Has your character gained a new insight towards
the rooks and are now determined to let the world
know they’re more than just mindless constructs?
• Has your character carved out a place for them
selves amongst the rookhunter guilds and are look
ing for ways to gain the respect they deserve?
• Will your character succumb to their desire for
power and let the spread continue as far as
they can while modifying their new form
with rookstones and arms?

Those who are Altered gain many benefits including

the very same abilities a rook would have. If their
legs are altered by the ‘Rook-Spread’, they now have
the strength and stamina of a rook which means they
can run faster, jump higher, kick harder, even sur-
vive longer falls. The same goes for the arms, hands,
even their head! And yes that means they can lose
their entire head, torso and most of their legs while
still retaining humanity and intelligence, although it
will be borderline and they may act strangly at times.

The Altered can also harness the magic of the rooks

though the magnitude of that power typically de-
pends on how much of their body as been affected,
and it is not quite as controlled as someone trained
to use a helm.

The Pawn

Exploration Score -

Combat Score -

The Pawn are an ancient race of beings, possibly the first to reside
in the Colostle. They are a people of creation, art, and they avoid
conflict as much as possible. Their people carry with them his-
tory and technology never before seen by common roomlanders
and are not prone to sharing that information. They are excellent
marksmen and engineer’s.
 Character Traits
The Pawn’s live within the mountains, caves, and
undersea grotto’s of the Colostle. Long ago a cata-
strophic event occured that forced them into hiding,
while rebuilding their communities they eventually
decided to stay hidden and carved out their homes
away from common society. No one knows what
exactly happened and and each Pawn community
may have their own version passed down through
generations. They pride themselves on their creation
more than anything else and can create wonderous
things out of rook parts most residents of the Colostle
wouldn’t even dream of laying eyes on.
There have been very few instances of roomlanders
meeting a Pawn, even less so of a roomlander discov-
ering a community of them. They are typically a very
peaceful people who avoid fighting as much as they
can, unless they need a specific rook part they haven’t
been able to salvage. If they are provoked into a fight,
they are more likely to fight at a distance and also
lure their opponent into traps.
The Pawn’s are smaller in stature compared to room-
landers and are highly intelligent. They live much
longer lives than roomlanders and are also able to
pass down a portion of their memories to new gen-
erations using some unknown magic only they can
harness. They are also born with their own innate
magic, no always a destructive force and rarely able
to be controlled. Their magic could be anything from
a force field that appears when in danger, to being
able to levitate objects into place while constructing
something wonderful.
Creating Your Character
To create your Pawn character take a look at the
prompts below to give you an idea of your back-
ground story and a place to start your journey.
• Does the community you live in hate the room-
landers? Are you having doubts regarding their hate?
• Has your character carved out a life within the
halls of a rookhunter guild? How have they been re-
ceived within the community?
• Was your character born with a rare an powerful mag-
ical gift that has been prophesized for great things? Will
they bring change to their peoples way of life?
