You’ll find different archetypes to play with, from a battlefield commander type–for those of you with Darth Vader dreams, a stealthy assassin type, for folks who want to be all about finesse but also tons of two-handed weapon damage, and a dark magic type, for people who want to put the ‘power’ into all the powers of hell. There are some similarities here–but where a Paladin fights with virtues and abilities determined by their oath, but Illriggers get powers of illusion and treachery and fear. The main bread and butter of the class is its Baleful Interdict, a special magical seal you can put on a creature that you can spend to do an extra 2d6 damage–or you can spend it to do other abilities, determined by what subclass you pick. Reading through the class you can really get a feel for how it’s meant to fit in with the rest of the game. Your pact determines what powers you gain, but your ultimate goal is to advance that infernal cause regardless of your archduke.Īnd in order to do this, you get an array of powers that seem right at home on the album cover of a great heavy metal album. As an Illrigger you swear a pact with a devilish patron but you serve the Nine Hells. When I saw the artwork my first thought was “oh hey this is a cool evil paladin archetype” but as many people have said, the Illrigger is less an anti-paladin and more like a sort of dark reflection of them. Which brings us to the Illrigger, a new full class that fights with all the powers of hell. That’s quite the pedigree–the two books raised a combined $3.4 million dollars during their campaigns, and are still going strong. I bet the FL people felt satisfaction from being able to incorporate their old idols, the ones that came up with the organization they used to name their company no less, though!The Illrigger is a brand new full class for 5th Edition from MCDM productions–powered by infernal magic, it’s the Hellknight of your dreams.īurning with baleful power, a fiendish new class has arrived on the scene, brought to you from Matt Colville and MCDM productions, better known as the folks behind Strongholds & Followers and Kingdoms & Warfare, two of the seven most successful crowdfunded RPGs. But by then FL was successful and much bigger, so when a merger was considered, it would have made no sense to go with anything else than "Free League envelops Jarnringen". Much later Järnringen was recreated and published Symbaroum. When Järnringen folded FL picked up the rights and issued a new edition based on their ubiquitous Year Zero game engine.) Järnringen created the edition of Mutant that's held in high regard still - I myself consider their campaign the Swedish equivalent of GWs Enemy Within or Chaosium's Masks of Nyarlathotep! (Coriolis was an original creation of Järnringen with a unique ruleset. Specifically, fans of Järnringen's games. ![]() It was picked from an organization in the Coriolis sci-fi game back when the Free League people were just fans. That name was chosen long before the considerations of international markets became an issue. ![]() Free League is literally "Fria Ligan" translated from Swedish.
