Wizzodds

Wizzodds are not to be confused with fairytale Wizards who are often mystic guides that can do anything. Wizzodds can probably do anything, but are in no fit state to guide anyone.

Wizzodds are people so obsessed with a single Arcanum that it starts to rub off on them, eventually forming a bond. As a standard Arcanum-user might bent the device's powers in new ways, a Wizzodd becomes one with their beloved, and uses it in ways that shouldn't work.

They are isolated, because you need to give your whole self to an Arcanum to reach this level of affinity. If you have any other relationships it doesn't work. They cannot even tolerate other Arcana in their presence, let alone bring themselves to use another.

The bond extends to their names, which they either shed completely or combine with the name of their Arcanum.

d6 Law Enforcement Groups in Bastion

 d6 Enforcement Groups of Bastion

Obviously there's no centralised law enforcement in Bastion, so anyone can set up a group of thugs and have a go. They have different ideas of the law too, which doesn't help. If you get into trouble, think carefully before you call out for help from that person in a uniform. 

They usually have an ulterior motive. 

1: Drum Jockeys - 2hp, Jagged Metal Uniforms, Lead Beaters (d6).
  • Ride on a variety of huge drums, rigged up to wagons (4hp, Armour 1, d8 Crush).
  • Carry out harsh punishment en-masse at Justice Raves.
  • Talk in a drum-like rhythm even when separated from the beat.


2: Wristwatchmen - 3hp, Ultra-Slick Suits and Hair, Gadget Watch.
  • Transfer a miniature version of an Arcanum’s effect into their specialist wristwatches.
  • Fire a pitifully small gun mounted on their watch (d4).
  • Pretend to know the future (they don’t).



3: The VSF (Very Strong Fighters) - 5hp, STR 15, Tight, Colourful Costumes, Clenched Fists (d6).
  • Explain their own carefully thought out name and gimmick in extreme detail.
  • Attempt a silly finishing-move when they’ve almost beaten their opponent (d4).
  • Make a big speech about the role of the strong (them) in protecting the feeble (you).


4: Bombheads - 6hp, STR 5, 1ft Tall, Tiny Bombs (d8, must be set in place). adorable little uniforms, riding-rats, squeaky voices.
  • Use hidden wealth to hire backup-muscle.
  • Upon death, explodes for d8 damage.
  • Try to cut off crime at the source.


5: The Cadaver Club - 4hp, Death Shrouds and Pick-Sticks (d6).
  • Believe that all life is essentially guilt, and the older you live the more guilty you are.
  • Bury the guilty alive with lots of food and water.
  • Carry out trial-by-combat between corpses rigged up as puppets.


6: The Wind Order - 1hp, DEX 15, Gilded Uniforms, Breathy Voices.

  • Strike criminals down without touching them, using the mystical soul-wind (d10 damage, actually a hidden sniper with a huge rifle)
  • Flee from any real danger, claiming that “a more dangerous wind blows to the south”.
  • Sell you a 6-week course (1g) that will (not) teach you the Soul-Wind-Strike.
