Greetings fellow Spiral Knights! the following is the beginnings of a Spiral Knights tabletop RPG using the Savage Worlds RPGing system. Before I begin, a few notes:

1. I own nothing of Spiral Knights or Savage Worlds. they are owned by Three Rings and Pinnacle Entertainment.

2. In order to play this or understand this, you will need Savage Worlds: Explorers Edition. this also, as you probably already guessed, is just part, not all, of my Savage Cradle RPG.

3. anything inappropriate will be deleted.

and now....

Savage Cradle

Fifteen years ago, the Spiral Order discovered the Alpha Squad within the Clockworks. Having reached The Core, the team set up a small Geo-Camp. However, they’re camp was discovered. Many gremlins soon swarmed around the camp, fighting till the death. In fact, the team that discovered them discovered also a large, nearby gremlin town. Upon return to the Haven, there was a celebration like none known to Spiral Knights. There was more to celebrate then that, however. While studying, Rulen (team Geo Knight) came up with a idea to harvest The Core and, after much testing and fighting, the Skylark took to the skies again. After their return to Isora, they decided to head back and study Cradle more. The Clockworks, however, have grown far more dangerous and teams of up to twenty now head in at a time, with strong brave leaders. A few of those leaders are you, the players.

Setting Rules

Weapons: weapons are much more restricted. When attacking, follow the combo notes. Also, charge attacks take 1D8 rounds to charge, 1D6 at level +5 and 1D4 at level 10 and do the normal combo dice all together.

EXAMPLE:
Parma charges her sword. The normal attack does str+D6+2, her strength is a D8 and the combo is 3 attacks, so she rolls 3D8+3D6. The +2 is ignored.

Also, weapons charge attack and end combo (on swords) have knock back. This is 1D4 unless otherwise specified.

EXAMPLE:
Parma hits and rolls knock back. 3! All enemies are flung back, and those that hit things take an additional 1D6 damage!

Lastly, after a combo or charge attack, weapons must be “reloaded” (even swords). This takes an action.

Weapon XP (heat): for heat use the following table:
1 small ember is 30 “XP”.
1 large ember is 40.
1 huge ember is 50.
To get to level 2, 100 “XP” is needed. Level 3, 200. Level 4, 300 and etc.

EXAMPLE:
Parma gets 250 heat in 1 level! Her gun is level 2, so it goes from 100 heat to 350 and is level 4. Her sword is new, so gains a total of 250 heat and is level 3. With 50 more, her sword would be level 4 and her gun level 5.
