OSE Class - Tourist

This is my silly half-baked attempt at bringing the Tourist class from Nethack, which is inspired by Terry Pratchett's character Twoflower into OSE, enjoy?...!

Tourist

Class

Requirements: None
Prime requisite: n/a - cannot gain bonus XP
Hit Dice: 1d4
Maximum level: 9
Armour: Any
Weapons: Any
Languages: Alignment, Common, Foreign 

Tourists start out with lots of gold (suitable for shopping with), a credit card, lots of food, some maps, and an expensive camera. Most monsters don't like being photographed.

Starting Gear

All Tourists start with the following equipment
  • 1d10 x 100 starting gold pieces
  • Credit card - "do you take card?" 
  • Tour Guide Map - decreased chance of losing direction, mostly outdated
  • Hawaiian shirt conferring no benefit  
  • Expensive camera with 1d100 shots - minimum 30 
    • Save or be stunned for a round
  • a Towel   
  • Empty rations eaten on the way here, whoops

One born every minute

Shopkeepers recognize Tourists below level 5 as suckers and charge them an extra 1⁄3 mark-up when buying and only offer 1⁄3 the base price of sold items. Feel free to change to 50% if this is easier DM.

Combat

Tourists can use all types of weapons and armour. 
Tourists never advance their THAC0.

After Reaching 9th Level

A tourist has the option of creating a tourist kiosk that will attract foreigners from far and wide.

Level    XP
1            0  
2            1,200
3            2,400
4            4,800
5            9,600
6            20,000
7            40,000
8            80,000

Monsters from Ravenloft I6 converted for use in OSE

Barovian Villagers The Barovians and their ancestors have lived in this valley for as long as anyone can remember. Their lives are deeply imbedded in their homes and their traditions . They are, by nature, very wary of strange peoples and customs, almost to the point of paranoia.

Fortunes of Ravenloft

I am running I6 Ravenloft in OSE soon, I wanted to use the Tarokka deck but the original adventure doesn't actually use it at all so I have transplanted some of the Tarokka deck onto the playing cards so I can still use them as a handout in the game rather than just using playing cards. Fortunes of Ravenloft Location of the Holy Symbol - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is a symbol of great power. It tells of a powerful force for good and protection against the forces of darkness. Location of the Tome of Strahd - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient may help you understand a foe. Location of the Strahd von Zarovich - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This is the object of your search! I see darkness and evil behind this card! It is a powerful man whose enemy is light, and whose powers are beyond mortality! Location of the Sunsword hilt - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is good for you.

Other Uses for Adventuring Gear

I was looking at the Adventuring Gear list from OSE and decided that I'd like to try and come up with 4 different ways to use these objects than usually expected.  Backpack: Strangle someone with the straps. Blind someone with it. Fill it with something heavy and swing it. Fill it with snakes and gift it to an enemy. Crowbar: Feed it to a Rust Monster. Remove rocks in mines. Hit someone with it. Throw it at something. Garlic: Cold remedy Reduce blood pressure Stink up your breath Boost flavour  Grappling hook: Hook someone to something. Use it to set off traps. Grab something underwater or far away. Pull down a chandelier Hammer: Knock imposingly upon a door Remove nails Fix a bent blade Break through ice Holy Symbol: Intentionally cause offence Start arguments Open particular doors Repel the dead... maybe? Holy Water: Baptise someone Cleanse evil from an object Consecrate the ground Quench thirst in an emergency Iron Spikes: Pin something or someone stuck  Stab a vampire Carve a
