[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 7219235, member: 26698"] All right, fellas, an idea for a Class (dunno if Prestige or Advanced, or maybe split in half between them. I was thinking it could be a Prestige to The Otaku, but I don't know if The Otaku showcases a natural progression (well, in terms of a narrative character arc that would probably be "guy starts to see more of the Fourth Wall.. and eventually weaponizes it")): "The Author". This is a class that, in a very minor way, has the capacity to manipulate reality by means of writing stuff (or drawing, or other ways to physically demonstrate whatever you are imagining). Summon characters (although he runs the chance of having them trigger Authored Rage) and gear, trigger soliloquys from Fictional characters around him (only you can hear them but they provide information that they are trying to keep quiet.... maybe a more powerful version triggers a short-term time stop during which the Author can do some stuff like running away, but he's forced to keep doing rolls that represent him trying to pull a comprehensive narration out of his rear end in order to "hold the floor"), teleport using "scene transitions", and the like. Of course, there could probably be a backfire table as reality (what little remains of it) fights back (or the CLULESS Virus acts like a GM trying to railroad the Author back into its narrative, whatever would fit better in the fluff). And it would probably be "40K Psyker gets a misfire" in terms of potency--being an Author sounds like you're a walking Deus Ex Machina, until reality hits you over the head like a runaway train full of napalm. Inspiration: Deadpool, Gwenpool (check the most recent arcs), Sutter Cane and those guys from "Re: Creators". Also don't know if this could be a "Reals" only class or not. I honestly got this idea from reading the TV Tropes page for Gwenpool and thinking, when reading a bullet point on the YMMV page that had a twist being compared to "In The Mouth Of Madness", just pictured her standing on the decrepit church that Sutter Cane was in on that film and doing the same creepy smashing of the fourth wall.
