Templates: Skeleton Jazz _____, Glass Knight, Monke, and Incarnation who is doing his Very Best

 

These are all requests from the OSR discord. You can take these templates either at first level or when you would level up. If you no longer fit the requirement, you lose the template (but not the level) until you meet it again.

Skeleton Jazz ____

Requirement: be a skeleton or wear a lot of bones

Whatever you may have been before, you are now a musician in the skeleton army. Skeletons see you as one of their own, and are loathe to attack you. When you have access to a jazz instrument (which are slightly rare since it is medieval times) you may command a number of skeletons equal to your level. If you are actually a skeleton, your bare ribcage counts as a jazz instrument.

Glass Knight

Requirement: Have two artifacts of elvenglass (on your body or inhaled)

Elven enchantments and automata count you as an elf, but elves obviously recognize you as whatever you are. When you encounter elvenglass, you may dissolve and inhale it. At any point thereafter, you may exhale it onto another piece of elvenglass and cause it to grow new physical features as you wish.

(elvenglass is strong, but brittle, and can be any color)

 

Monke

Requirement: being a monke, or distaste and dissatisfaction with the modern world

You return to Monke. Over the course of a week, your body becomes hairy, your arms long and suitable for brachiation, and you lose the capacity to speak. You feel at all times, regardless of external screaming or ripping people's faces off, a sense of serene calm.

You may take this template more than once. This results in further monkification, such as growing a tail, becoming small, developing a taste for bugs, etc. 

Biomancers might be quite interested in your polymorphism.

Incarnation who is doing his Very Best

Requirement: the revelation of your divine nature

You have phenomenal cosmic powers, and would use them for good. Unfortunately, a lot of people are either allergic or immune to divinity. You can heal or harm people for [level]d6, but if this is the first time you've done so, there is a 1 in 4 chance of it not working, and a 1 in 4 chance of straight up killing them.

Possible part two: Mirror Thief, Grass Knight, Bifurcated Snerson (snake person), Mouse Army
