Stand User - A Truly Bizarre Exaltation

[Deleted]

Stand User

Mysterious warriors from around the Wheel and a myriad of origins who have harnessed a strange supernatural power known as a Stand. Whether by undergoing a prolonged sickness and discovering a hidden power, or by being struck by a mystical golden arrow, these beings have unlocked their inner warrior spirit and are able to project it out onto the material world around them, augmenting their natural abilities and making them into fierce opponents.

(In truth, I'm surprised I didn't see something like this already, but this is my take on it.)

Tells:
A Stand User, like a Paragon, exhibits fewer Tells than other Exalts, but to the psychically aware they tend to stick out. As Stand Power is spent, the Stand User becomes visibly exhausted, they look as though they’ve run a marathon regardless of how little physical energy they've spent. Their psychic imprint becomes more visible and they can be sensed from farther away, other Exalts (Stand Users in particular) feel oddly and inexplicably drawn to the Stand User’s location and may accidentally, or intentionally, seek them out. At 3 or less Stand Power, those who intentionally try to sense the Stand User have +2k0 to their Perception Test.


Powers

Warrior Spirit:
You gain a Stand, a psycho-spiritual projection of your Fighting Spirit that you can control and command to do your bidding. It responds to your commands instinctively, it is an extension of yourself and your willpower. Stands come in all shapes and sizes, literally, and can appear either humanoid or as a part of the User, some can even exist in the physical world visible and intractable by anyone regardless of psychic affinity or exaltation. When constructing your Stand, consider what form it manifests in. Does it take on a Humanoid shape? Is it a colony of smaller entities working together? Is it a part of you, covering your body or augmenting one of your limbs? Also consider your Stand's effective range; a Stand that is good at fighting might have a range of 1-3 meters, but does strong work up close while another Stand might work better at a distance where their abilities have more potency. Stand User Ability Assets will give your Stand unique abilities they can use for various situations.

One Step Ahead:
Stand Users have the uncanny ability to always have plans and traps laid out where you least expected them, and to always have an out where it seems like they’re trapped for good. You may use the “Just As Planned” Feat, but only during active combat scenes and may use 3 Stand Power instead of a Hero Point. If you obtain the “Just As Planned” Feat through a class, you can still use 3 Stand Power instead of a Hero Point to activate it.

Psychic Presence:
Stand Users are naturally born with psychic abilities, though most of them don't know it or assume it to be a strange twisting of fate. A User can use their Stand to talk via Telepathy for the duration of one scene by spending 1 Stand Power. They can also cast any spell using an Ability Test instead of Focus Power by casting the spell through their Stand and spending (1 + Spell Level) Stand Power, but spells cast in this way are treated as if they were cast by an unsanctioned sorcerer and can't be Pushed.

Stand Behavior:
While a Stand is "Out" or "Active", it follows the rules normally given a Stand. Only other Exalted, psychically aware, or ethereal beings can sense and affect a Stand. It has all the same characteristics and skills as its User. They can manipulate real world objects and creatures as the User can to a certain extent, so long as the User can consciously exert their will to do so. If the Stand takes damage, the User will as well, usually in the same relative area. If a Stand is killed or destroyed, the User is as well. If a User's Stand Power reaches 0, the Stand is dispelled and will stay inactive until they regain at least 1 Stand Power.

Resource Stat - Stand Power:
Gain a number of Stand Power equal to Willpower + Composure + double your Level. You regain (2 * Enemy Level) Stand Power after defeating a Significant Enemy, which is any enemy with a Level of 2 or higher. If you had to spend or burn a Hero Point to defeat this enemy, you gain an additional 4 Stand Power for each one spent or burnt. You also regain 4 Stand Power if you have at least 4 hours of uninterrupted rest.

Power Stat - Fighting Spirit:

Dots	Ability	Description
●◌◌◌◌	Possessed by an Evil Spirit	You have realized your Stand’s appearance, ability, and range. At any time as a Half Action, you can spend 1 Stand Power to bring out your Stand. You can interact with objects or living things with your Stand at a basic level as long as it’s out. A Stand can use their abilities as a Full Action separate from the User’s actions by making an Ability Test (Willpower + Fighting Spirit). They cannot use weapons larger than a dagger or pistol, and can't throw objects to deal damage.
●●◌◌◌	You Really Pissed Me Off	At the start of a combat, you gain 1 Stand Power immediately. You may also spend a Hero Point to instantly regain 1d10+1 Stand Power as a Free Action.
●●●◌◌	I, The Exalted, Have a Dream	Your Stand can now wield weapons to the same degree that you can (including Feats and Assets), and their ability to manipulate objects are increased greatly, being able to throw objects to deal damage or pickpocket others. The GM has final say on what your Stand can and cannot do physically and it is still limited to its effective range.
●●●●◌	...But if I Were to Fight...	You may spend 1 additional Stand Power to bring out your Stand as a Free Action instead of a Half Action, and you may also spend 3 Stand Power to use one of your Stand Abilities as a Reaction if you couldn’t already.
●●●●●	...I Wouldn't Lose to Anyone.	You may choose or create one extra Ability Asset. That particular Ability can be used beyond your Stand’s normal effective range and can always be used as a Half Action instead of the normal Full Action.

Stand User Ability Assets

A Stand User can choose or create up to two Ability Assets. Bear in mind that each ability described is mostly a vague description of what they do and can always be flavored to your style. You don’t have to roll with any of the abilities or assets described below either at the GM’s discretion. If they’re willing, you can work with your GM to create a unique ability that does whatever you want. The main requirements are an Effect, a Test Number, and a Cost. As long as you have all of those, you’re good. Consider the following to be suggestions if anything.


Conditional Response
The Stand’s ability only functions when certain conditions are met. When the target of the effect is within the Stand’s effective range, the ability will activate immediately once the condition is met, and you gain a +2k1 to your Ability Test once it activates. The condition can be anything from motion, sight, language, or even genetics. Use this asset in tandem with another Ability Asset to make use of its effect.


Speed and Precision
The Stand has extreme speed, precision, and reaction. It can move incredibly quickly and attack even quicker. Your Stand gains a Reaction which you can use in place of your own Reaction (effectively giving you two Reaction actions while your Stand is out). In addition, the Stand can react to any movement, action, or attack made towards it or its User almost instantaneously. The Stand User can spend 1 Stand Power on their turn to gain +2k0 to their next Test involving a Reaction (excluding spellcasting).


Attack Rush
The Stand has the ability to unleash a rapid series of physical attacks onto an enemy within melee range. The attack is treated as an Unarmed attack with the Full Auto Burst action with a RoF of 5 * Fighting Spirit. The attack roll is made with an Ability Test, and the damage is (0k1 I; Pen 0; Flexible). If the target of this attack cannot sense Stands (Non-Exalted, Non-Psychic, Non-Spirit), the attacker gets a flat +10 bonus to hit. The GM may optionally grant an additional +1k0 to damage if the User gives a convincing war cry. Costs 1 Stand Power.


Time Stop
The Stand can halt the flow of time for all but themselves, their User, or anyone else with a Stand that can stop time (or creatures who might exist outside of time). Make an Ability Test (TN 20); if successful, time stops completely for all characters except for the Stand User or any other creature that can stop time or are immune to the flow of time. While time is stopped, the User gains Half Actions equal to 1 + 1 per 3 Raises to do as they please, and can extend the duration of the time stop by spending 2 Stand Power per Half Action. Affected targets are treated as Helpless for the purpose of making attacks against them. Costs 6 Stand Power to activate, 2 per Half Action to prolong.


Create Life
The Stand can transform any inorganic, non-artifact object into a living, breathing creature, or into a horde of small creatures that will act on the will of the Stand User. The size of the creature or horde of creatures must be at least in similar size and volume of the object transformed. Make an Ability Test (TN 20 + 10 per cubic foot of material); if successful, the object will transform into a creature or group of creatures according to the Stand User’s desires. Created creatures will take on the will of the Stand User, and have the same stats as any normal creatures. The effect lasts for up to 1 hour, plus 1 hour for every 2 Raises, and can be dispelled at will. Costs 2 + 1 Stand Power for each cubic foot of material. GM has final say on what can and can’t be transformed.


Make Bomb
The Stand can touch any non-artifact object or material within its effective range and turn it into a remotely detonated bomb. Make an Ability Test (TN 20), if successful, the object silently becomes a bomb, which the Stand can be manually triggered at any time. When detonated, the explosion gains Blast (1) and deals 2k2 X, damage increases by 1k0 for every two Raises. Costs 2 Stand Power.



I would really like to know what you guys think. I've lurked on this forum for a while because my friends and I love this game but this is the first time I've ever posted something on here. I've workshopped this with both friends that play D:tD and friends that are JoJo buffs, hopefully it's interesting and not broken or lame!

[Divergent Reality]

Bear in mind that a player may only spend up to their Power Stat in Resource Points in a single turn. A Stand User at PS 5 could not activate thier Time Stop ability. Other assets with Stand Power costs of 2, 3, or more are not available to a player until their PS reaches that level.

An Atlantean's Tell is described similarly to a Stand as well.

There are like five of those, we’re well past “it’s been done”.

I’ll hand it to you, this is interesting. A stand is usually either a tell or a spirit creation where you’ve made it an extension of locus of control.

One step ahead is useless until ps5. And really you don’t need to spend 5. 2 or 3 is good enough.

The idea of the stand being dispelled is a good drawback. There are other “you lose your powers” drawbacks but this lets you keep a few like your just as planned.

Giving the stand a full turn to use its abilities would be fine… except it can cast its user’s spells and a full extra turn of spells is a touch too powerful.

Ps2 is great. Like, damn.

Do you get two assets uncluding or excluding ps5?

With attack rush: it’s a full auto burst action but it doesn’t have a rate of fire. Does it just have no hard cap?

Time stop is bonkers. Extra turns is always potent but the sheer amount this gets you is insane, especially since you can get it out of the gate.

Create life is interesting. You can do a lot with it but it isn’t actually powerful. Though it’s so expensive as to be useless until ps5. Really you could just drop the 4.

Make bomb is solid. You could drop the price to 1 stand power though.

Oh yeah I actually forgot abotu the first thing. This may sound shocking but for the longest time my friends and I were not aware of there being a limit to how many resource points you could use at any given point, and I've had this around for a hot minute so yeah lol. I can edit that though, thank you for pointing that out.

edit: I just woke up lol, I understand what you're saying a little better. What I said above still counts but I don't see any other way to balance the abilities other than giving them costs beyond 1 point. Someone who wants to play a Stand User would have to just have this exception to the rules probably. You wouldn't be able to run with Time Stop if it costed anything less than like 3 or 4 resource points haha, it's hard enough to balance as it is.

[Amanojyaku]

...y'know, I was going to do a line-by-line, but I got halfway through and realized you've written instructions for a creative writing exercise instead of an exalt. You have nothing but fluff where mechanics should be, you have a mechanical effect in a fluff-only entry, you seem entirely too entranced with the idea that a Stand could be anything to actually lock it up in mechanics that would make this usable.

I have no issue with this retreading previous ground. What I have issue with is that it reads as an exaltation that allows you to build an exaltation. These have never gone over well.

Kinda harsh but I understand where you're coming from. I did actually have more rules originally in an earlier draft for defining a specific Stand along with their appearance and range with effects to go with it, but I didn't feel like it would either play well or be easy to understand. I like the approach of giving more customization to the player especially for this because Stands themselves have been able to do or look like pretty much anything, I didn't see much point in laying out strict definitions for what they should be. After all, what is homebrew for if not for giving players more options? Never the less I appreciate your thoughts.

My time has come (lol not really)

(In truth, I'm surprised I didn't see something like this already, but this is my take on it.)

There already was, it was just under different names. "Stand User" was a bit too on-the-nose. I couldn't come up with a better name, though. Maybe "Arrowheads" for resource points?

Anyway that's my first advice: Before making, try refluffing a pre-existing item and if its mechanics is close enough to what you're trying to do.

Echoing above sentiments, don't base your mechanics too much on the fluff. Or rather, don't decide the fluff then make the mechanics follow it 1:1 as that way lies numbers bloat and paragraphs of excess complexity.

Warrior Spirit should have some concrete limits instead of beating around the bush. It's not a purely-cosmetic thing like the Atlantean's Tell, right? My suggestion to combine fluff with mechanics is to base a subsystem around your Resistance characteristics (Willpower for oomph, Constitution for grit, Composure for restraint). A Stand is the user's fighting spirit, and encouraging people to invest in these stats will explain why Stand Users are so tough.

Nice conditional wording for One Step Ahead. You can use the feat but you don't actually gain it, and when you do you get an additional effect. My only suggestion is to adjust the phrasing so that it covers you getting the feat outside of the class (like an Exaltation).

What do you mean by Ability Test? Is it a Characteristic test? Or are you rolling Level+Fighting Spirit, with Fighting Spirit as kept dice? Or are you using Fighting Spirit to substitute a spell school? (in which case you're rolling Fight Spirit+Characteristic). Also, I would cut out the resource point cost and telepathy spell, simply saying "you can talk through your stand as long as it's within range".

As for the "any spell" ability, that's ridiculously versatile. Even actual versatile stands in JoJo canon couldn't BS like that (they just use their main ability in very creative ways). My suggestions are: 1) two free spells, each time you raise your Fighting Spirit gain two more (level equal to your FS or below); 2) Free spell school, you can purchase ranks in it as if it appeared in your class track. The idea is that as you get more powerful, you figure out new tricks with your stand (represented by a bigger spell repertoire).

Ooh, nice weakness. My suggestion is to add "vice-versa" as the death of the user also means the death of the stand (apart from one exception). Alternatively, something along the lines of "Your Stand shares your Hit Points, anything that happens to it happens to you as well."

One way of balancing the action economy is to share your turn with the stand. Only one of you could do a Full Action or you can do a Half Action each. When your stand fights, you often just glare at your opponent while he gets beaten to a pulp.

I don't have anything to say about the other gained powers except for the last one.

Letting you create your own Assets can be a hassle, I could make an asset that gives you Auto-Stabilitized, Regeneration (5) and Unnatural Toughness. Not having defined limits in general can get crazy as there's room to exploit the vagueness. Alternatively, you can't make the asset you want because the SM says no. Plus it's kinda mean to your SM to do so much heavy lifting for you (and if he feels like it he can screw you over). Having explicit limits lets you be creative (Bruno can only make zippers but he does so much with it).

Time Stop is iffy, assets shouldn't be useless at Power Stat 1 but at the same time once you're past that nothing can stop you. Other time-stopping homebrew try to limit its effects via Hero Point expenditure, or giving only 1 extra turn. My suggestion would be that you limit this a number of times per scene or session (whichever is longer).

For inspiration, I suggest taking a look at the Deviant. It's the most successful "customizable" Exaltation because the mechanics are well-defined yet applicable enough to cover almost anything. It's not overly specific or complex. The fluff is mainly about superheroes like Spiderman though I use it to stat characters who don't fit other Exaltations like Blackmore, Taokaka and Taylor Hebert; three characters with very different sources of power.

Lesser nitpicks (my opinions):
- Power Stat names don't feel like discrete powers, just catchphrases. It would be more appropriate if they were also musical references. If it were up to me I'd change it to Protomen references.
- Assets are too specific in contrast to how broad the Exalt's base power can be. I know you could just make your own but I think it's easier to make it cover distinct archetypes and let the Stand's spells narrow down their identity.

Asset suggestions (archetypes)
- Colony: You can shed HP for minion squads
- Armor: Pick an armor, your stand is this armor and you are always proficient with it. Armor Proficiency is an optional feat. When you raise Fighting Spirit, you may replace it with a new armor. At Fighting Spirit 5, it gains an artifact material bonus. Stand cannot operate at range (because it is worn armor)
- Remote: You may have your stand independently operate kilometers away after giving it an objective. Your stand can be recalled as a free action, or automatically when it loses more Hit Points than twice your Fighting Spirit.
- Close-Range: Your Stand can perform any Special Attacks you know.
- Long-Range: Your Stand can perform any Trick Shots you know.

These are just suggestions, feel free to adjust them if you think it can be implemented better. I think this homebrew needs more love.

[ScrapyardDragon]

I'll just give my own take on the matter; stands as a concept are a power system that lets those who have them do specific things.

In the DtD context, that can sometimes be a whole exaltation, and other times it can just be having a specific spell. And plenty of exaltations give you magic. Two of the lore-bits in book 1 are jojo parodies that just set jotaro as an atlantean. So to me, it seems to be that the issue here is you made an exalt that can functionally be called "having an exaltation that does [thing]", when, the players could just pick an exalt that lets them do whatever specific thing they want to do with more focus. I just think the core notion of this exalt is kind of missing the point really.

Also I can't help but agree that its a bit too on-the-nose with referencing one specific thing, and if you want to play JoJo's in ttrpg form a single dedicated system would probably be more apt than homebrewing a singular modular exalt to cover a broad range of things.

Of course I hardly have room to talk myself considering the first draft of what conduit was being just "FF8 the exalt", but maybe thats why I'm being as hard on this thing now as I am.

I'll rip into the hard crunch later when I have more free time to do it.

Is the stand visible in The Umbra?
If a Stand User is almost out of Resource Points they are better at finding other Stand Users?

Stand User Ability Assets will give your Stand unique abilities they can use for various situations.

This section needs more mechanics behind it, it lets you know that you have a Stand, but three of the eight sentences in this entry are questions. Find a way to give some options for Stand types: short, medium, long range. Do you want to limit yourself to kinds of Stands like humanoid/non humanoid that manifest near the user? Do you want to leave armor types for other Exalts like the Guardian and Swarm types to the existing swarm focused Exalts?

One Step Ahead:
Stand Users have the uncanny ability to always have plans and traps laid out where you least expected them, and to always have an out where it seems like they’re trapped for good. You may use the “Just As Planned” Feat, but only during active combat scenes and may use 3 Stand Power instead of a Hero Point. If you obtain the “Just As Planned” Feat through a class, you can still use 3 Stand Power instead of a Hero Point to activate it.

If you want a comparison for using Resource Points check out the Mastermind exalt. It receives something similar at PS 1.

Psychic Presence:
Stand Users are naturally born with psychic abilities, though most of them don't know it or assume it to be a strange twisting of fate. A User can use their Stand to talk via Telepathy for the duration of one scene by spending 1 Stand Power. They can also cast any spell using an Ability Test instead of Focus Power by casting the spell through their Stand and spending (1 + Spell Level) Stand Power, but spells cast in this way are treated as if they were cast by an unsanctioned sorcerer and can't be Pushed.

This was addressed in a previous post

Stand Behavior:
While a Stand is "Out" or "Active", it follows the rules normally given a Stand. Only other Exalted, psychically aware, or ethereal beings can sense and affect a Stand. It has all the same characteristics and skills as its User. They can manipulate real world objects and creatures as the User can to a certain extent, so long as the User can consciously exert their will to do so. If the Stand takes damage, the User will as well, usually in the same relative area. If a Stand is killed or destroyed, the User is as well. If a User's Stand Power reaches 0, the Stand is dispelled and will stay inactive until they regain at least 1 Stand Power.

"So long as the User can consciously exert their will" can be clarified as the User giving a half action for their Stand to make a half action or to give up a full action allowing their Stand to make a full action.

Resource Stat - Stand Power:
Gain a number of Stand Power equal to Willpower + Composure + double your Level. You regain (2 * Enemy Level) Stand Power after defeating a Significant Enemy, which is any enemy with a Level of 2 or higher. If you had to spend or burn a Hero Point to defeat this enemy, you gain an additional 4 Stand Power for each one spent or burnt. You also regain 4 Stand Power if you have at least 4 hours of uninterrupted rest.

Are we setting the Stand's appearance, ability, and range here or above in one of the static powers?

●●◌◌◌ You Really Pissed Me Off - At the start of a combat, you gain 1 Stand Power immediately. You may also spend a Hero Point to instantly regain 1d10+1 Stand Power as a Free Action.

This is fine.

●●●◌◌ I, The Exalted, Have a Dream - Your Stand can now wield weapons to the same degree that you can (including Feats and Assets), and their ability to manipulate objects are increased greatly, being able to throw objects to deal damage or pickpocket others. The GM has final say on what your Stand can and cannot do physically and it is still limited to its effective range.

Does this include hindrances and lost limbs?

●●●●◌ ...But if I Were to Fight… - You may spend 1 additional Stand Power to bring out your Stand as a Free Action instead of a Half Action, and you may also spend 3 Stand Power to use one of your Stand Abilities as a Reaction if you couldn’t already.

●●●●● ...I Wouldn't Lose to Anyone - You may choose or create one extra Ability Asset. That particular Ability can be used beyond your Stand’s normal effective range and can always be used as a Half Action instead of the normal Full Action.

Take a look at the Warmachine for something along the lines of adding additional assets and abilities to existing powers. The more nebulous the options the crazier they become.

Stand User Ability Assets

SPOILER: Click to show

A Stand User can choose or create up to two Ability Assets. Bear in mind that each ability described is mostly a vague description of what they do and can always be flavored to your style. You don’t have to roll with any of the abilities or assets described below either at the GM’s discretion. If they’re willing, you can work with your GM to create a unique ability that does whatever you want. The main requirements are an Effect, a Test Number, and a Cost. As long as you have all of those, you’re good. Consider the following to be suggestions if anything.

Consider looking at some spells available to give Stand like abilities. The Deviant was previously mentioned about these things as well.

Conditional Response
The Stand’s ability only functions when certain conditions are met. When the target of the effect is within the Stand’s effective range, the ability will activate immediately once the condition is met, and you gain a +2k1 to your Ability Test once it activates. The condition can be anything from motion, sight, language, or even genetics. Use this asset in tandem with another Ability Asset to make use of its effect.

It is a nice set and forget ability, it fits the theme.

Speed and Precision
The Stand has extreme speed, precision, and reaction. It can move incredibly quickly and attack even quicker. Your Stand gains a Reaction which you can use in place of your own Reaction (effectively giving you two Reaction actions while your Stand is out). In addition, the Stand can react to any movement, action, or attack made towards it or its User almost instantaneously. The Stand User can spend 1 Stand Power on their turn to gain +2k0 to their next Test involving a Reaction (excluding spellcasting).

It is different than giving the Danger Sense feat.

Attack Rush
The Stand has the ability to unleash a rapid series of physical attacks onto an enemy within melee range. The attack is treated as an Unarmed attack with the Full Auto Burst action with a RoF of 5 * Fighting Spirit. The attack roll is made with an Ability Test, and the damage is (0k1 I; Pen 0; Flexible). If the target of this attack cannot sense Stands (Non-Exalted, Non-Psychic, Non-Spirit), the attacker gets a flat +10 bonus to hit. The GM may optionally grant an additional +1k0 to damage if the User gives a convincing war cry. Costs 1 Stand Power.

It is a standard unarmed attack with lots of punches. I would recommend you choose to either leave it as 0k1 or make it 1k1.

Time Stop
The Stand can halt the flow of time for all but themselves, their User, or anyone else with a Stand that can stop time (or creatures who might exist outside of time). Make an Ability Test (TN 20); if successful, time stops completely for all characters except for the Stand User or any other creature that can stop time or are immune to the flow of time. While time is stopped, the User gains Half Actions equal to 1 + 1 per 3 Raises to do as they please, and can extend the duration of the time stop by spending 2 Stand Power per Half Action. Affected targets are treated as Helpless for the purpose of making attacks against them. Costs 6 Stand Power to activate, 2 per Half Action to prolong.

Extra actions are really powerful, particularly against opponents who can't do anything. It's already expensive to activate but double checking some of the time magic or time Exalts may give some insight on balance.

Create Life
The Stand can transform any inorganic, non-artifact object into a living, breathing creature, or into a horde of small creatures that will act on the will of the Stand User. The size of the creature or horde of creatures must be at least in similar size and volume of the object transformed. Make an Ability Test (TN 20 + 10 per cubic foot of material); if successful, the object will transform into a creature or group of creatures according to the Stand User’s desires. Created creatures will take on the will of the Stand User, and have the same stats as any normal creatures. The effect lasts for up to 1 hour, plus 1 hour for every 2 Raises, and can be dispelled at will. Costs 2 + 1 Stand Power for each cubic foot of material. GM has final say on what can and can’t be transformed.

Looks fine

Make Bomb
The Stand can touch any non-artifact object or material within its effective range and turn it into a remotely detonated bomb. Make an Ability Test (TN 20), if successful, the object silently becomes a bomb, which the Stand can be manually triggered at any time. When detonated, the explosion gains Blast (1) and deals 2k2 X, damage increases by 1k0 for every two Raises. Costs 2 Stand Power.

If I touch someone's arm and then it into a bomb do they get a save to resist or does their arm just go pop when desired? Do you want the bomb effect to last indefinitely? How many can you have active at one time?
