Hufflepuff: Clan MacMillan

 MacMillan

"justly proud"

bagpipes play when you walk

Sigil: the boar and axe, quartered black, white, and yellow

Skills: Athletics (expert) | Fighting (advanced) | Transfiguration (basic) 

+1 to Strength

The MacMillans are proud of their long lineage and their well-earned reputation for being loud, quarrelsome, and brave (though some say big, quarrelsome, and stupid). The clan’s riotous Christmas feasts and Quidditch tourneys are enormously popular; such a gathering is considered a failure without at least one duel.

Inspired Action – Braw & Bonnie

If you would suffer an Injury, become Afraid, or become Miserable, you can spend Inspiration to ignore that effect.

Flaw – Braggart

The MacMillans are famous boasters. When you follow through on a difficult or dangerous boast, you gain Inspiration.

Starting Equipment –pick two–

1. Beater’s bat (M) & Bludger – when released, attacks a random target each round: on a 1-4 the ball attacks an enemy, on a roll of 5-6 it attacks a friend.
2. Heirloom broomstick (Heavy, see Broomstick table)
3. Blunderbuss, self-cleaning (L, Blast 3, slow to reload. Belches out a large cloud of soot 1/adventure when tapped with a wand)
4. Ogden’s best firewhisky (ud6)
5. Enchanted cooking pot – begins each expedition full of 10 gallons of hot & hearty soup 
6. Hair tonic (secret recipe: extra potent. ud3)

Design Notes: I have actually combined the MacMillans (pompous apple-polishing Hufflepuff) with the McLaggens (pompous sporty Gryffindor) here. Forgive me, there was so little to work with.

Somebody at every gaming table has spent their whole life waiting for an excuse to talk in an awful Scots accent the entire time, and surely a game set in Scotland with 24 character options should have one dedicated to giving those people an excuse to play Warhammer Fantasy dwarf or Bucko Bigbones the Redwall fighting hare to their heart's content. Braggart and Braw & Bonnie should hopefully combine to create a play loop that is appealing to these kinds of people.

Names: Scottish. Play that note loudly if you can't play it well.
