The Champion
The Champion
Y
ou are a mighty reaver on an epic quest, a chain-
blade weilding bounty hunter who never brings
quarry back still breathing, a hulking behemoth
dealing wanton destruction, or a sinister
swordsman fighting for whoever carries the
fattest purse.
Champions are some of the greatest combatants the galaxy
is able to conjure up.
Hit Points
A Champion gains 1d12 hit points at each level.
Weapon training
Champions use the best equipment available on hand. As
such, they may use any weapon; they may also use armor and
shields.
Alignment
Any and every cause is in need of a Champion. Lawmen and
noble knights, employed by nobility, would be lawful, for
example. A space pirate or wandering barbarian might be
chaotic. A monk or a keeper of the peace would identify as
neutral. Mercenaries and bounty hunters follow their own
code of conduct, allowing them to follow any path of
alignment.
Attack Modifier
Champions do not receive a fixed attack modifier at each
level. Instead they receive a deed die, like the warrior (DCC,
pg 42). The deed die is rolled each round to generate the
attack modifier. Consult Table 1-1 below to see the deed die
advancement. The bonus of the deed die is also a modifier for
damage. When the Champion has multiple attacks at higher
levels, the same deed die applies to all attacks in the same
combat round.
Mighty Deeds
Champions earn their keen reputation by performing brazen
acts and bold stunts. They swing across suspension bridges
on loose cables, bash through armored glass windows, and
leap over gaping chasms in pursuit of their foes. When locked
in mortal melee, their mighty deeds of arms turn the course
of battle: a brash leap from one landspeeder to another, a
mighty blow to cleave a robot's gunner arm clean off, or a
wild and well-timed slash to hamstring their opponent. Prior
to any attack roll, a Champion can declare a Mighty Deed of
Arms, or for short, a Deed. This Deed is a dramatic combat
maneuver within the scope of the current combat. The Deed
does not automatically increase damage but could have some
other combat effect: pushing back an enemy, tripping or
entangling him, temporarily blinding him, and so on.
1
The Champion’s deed die determines the Deed’s success.
This is the same die used for the Champion’s attack and
damage modifier each round. If the deed die is a 3 or higher,
and the attack lands (e.g., the total attack roll exceeds the
target’s AC), the Deed succeeds. If the deed die is a 2 or less,
or the overall attack fails, the Deed fails as well. Refer to the
Combat section (DCC RPG, pg 88) for additional information
on Mighty Deeds of Arms.
Signature Move
Champions will often use one specific deed often in combat
and claim it as their signature move. Should they score a 3 or
higher on the deed die without previously calling what kind of
deed they were attempting, they may use their signature
move, if they choose.
Critical Hits
In combat, a Champion is most likely to score a critical hit
and tends to get the most destructive effects when they do so.
In addition, a Champion scores critical hits more often. At 1st
through 4th level, a Champion scores a crit on any natural roll
of 19-20. The threat range increases to natural rolls of 18-20
at 5th level and 17- 20 at 9th level. See the Combat section
(DCC RPG, pg 79) for more information on crits.
Initiative
A Champion adds their class level to their initiative rolls
Luck
A Champion may apply their Luck modifier to either their
base armor class or to one specific type of weapon. If a
weapon is chosen, it must be chosen at 1st level and remains
fixed after that point. Once armor class or a weapon is
chosen, it may not be changed (unless otherwise discerned
by the Judge).
Action Dice
A Champion always uses their action dice for attacks.

A Champion’s attack modifier is rolled anew, according to the appropriate die, with each attack. The result modifies both attack
and damage rolls. At higher levels, the Champion adds both a die and a fixed value.
