GLoG: Mail Carrier Class

 Like most of those under the employ of the cult of the messenger god, you are not a priest. Nor, truth be told, must you be very pious. Rather, you uphold the practical, difficult work that the cult is known for: delivering messages. A courier, a mail carrier, a navigator of social landscapes, you are at once out of place nowhere and part of nowhere. You are bound by byzantine canon law, but are rarely under any kind of supervision. Your work is occasionally essential, and you have the love of the common folk, even if what you deliver is usually beneath the notice of the recipient.

THE HAND OF HERMES

+1 inventory slot and +5’ of movement per Template. 

Starting Equipment: Trusty satchel, navy blue toga, shaker of pepper, badge, short spear, shield

A - Sure-Footed, Ancient Enmity, Professionalism

B - Equitable Remedy, Walk on walls at half speed 

C - Busy Hands, Complete His Rounds 

D - The Grumman

Sure footed:

So long as you go no faster than half speed, your movement does not trigger traps. No matter your speed, you are not slowed by difficult terrain.

Ancient Enmity:

You have a reciprocated loathing with canines. You both have +2 to hit and damage against each other. Because the clergy of the Hermetic Cult has mostly consisted of werewolves from the start, this includes your direct superiors on up to the top of the organization.

Professionalism:

You may read a page at a glance and know the mailing address of all civilized folk. You are never lost in a city.

Equitable Remedy:

After losing a body part, the Fellowship of Hermetic Hands will lobby the cult for a replacement. After 2d10 months of procedure, you receive your new piece. Typically this comes with glue to attach to the stump.

Busy Hands:

You are accustomed to sorting mail while completing the necessities of life. You may carry three hands worth of equipment in your two hands.

Complete His Rounds:

When on a delivery, you are immune to damage from fire, cold, and acid. You cannot drown. If you would die, you rise as a wraith to complete the delivery before your spirit finally rests.

The Grumman:

You are sufficiently trusted to be given control of a special mount, a Long-Limbed Vole called a “Grumman”. The Grumman is 7 ft tall, 8 ft wide, and 12 ft long. It can carry 50 slots of goods and travel 75 miles daily. It can move up to 70 mph, but it shakes violently if going 45 or faster. They are not very bright, but loyal.

Another take on the same concept. Includes a table for significant mail to deliver and interesting recipients. I'm amused to see I repeated the "+1 inventory slot and +5' movement per template" despite not having read this post since it came out in 2021.
