Character Actor Skill

Character Actor

Donut's signature skill: pick a new class specialty each floor, with the AI randomly rolling how strong it is.

Story so far

The Character Actor skill is the defining power of Princess Donut's Former Child Actor class. Each floor she picks a specialty — effectively a new class themed to that floor — and the system AI rolls the dice on how many of that specialty's skills and spells she receives, then strips them when the floor ends. Higher skill levels grant better rolls, so the class starts weak and grows potent.

Uniquely, the skill only levels up on descent to the next floor. Any penalties attached to a chosen specialty (mana-cost hikes, stat losses) apply for that floor only, while Donut's permanent skills like Magic Missile remain untouched. On floor three she took the Artist Alley Mogul specialty.

Role

A flexible, chance-based class engine that reshapes Donut's abilities floor by floor.

Relationships

Princess Donut — The crawler whose per-floor specialties it governs.
