RIP Sabu (1964 - 2025)

Yesterday Terrance Michael Brunk aka Sabu passed away. If you aren't familiar with the "suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death-defying maniac," he's a hardcore wrestling legend. Trained by his uncle, the original Sheik, he started wrestling in 1985 and only had his recent retirement match a few weeks ago. 

Here's a nice little tribute released by Game Changer Wrestling (the promotion that put on his retirement match):

This might sound goofy, but as a tribute I decided to stat Sabu as a 10th level Deathmatch Wrestler for DCC. If you aren't familiar with the class, I recommend checking out Judge Phil's Zine of Goodies #1. All of the SP listed in the stats are described there, with the exception of duct tape which was inspired by this incident. TL;DR he ripped his bicep open on barbwire and instead ending the match, he taped it up and wrestled for another 15 minutes.

Sabu (10th level Deathmatch Wrestler): Init +1; Atk +9 (unarmed, 1d12+1), (light tubes 1d10+1); Crit III/1d30; AC 14+ (pads, dex + combat adrenaline); HD 10d12+30; HP 116; Mov. 30'; Act 1d20 + 1d20 + 1d10; SP death die d10+2, combat adrenaline, suicide dive, duct tape*; SV Ref +6; Fort +9; Will +5; AL N

*Once per combat Sabu can take an action to duct tape up his wounds and heal 1d7 HP.
