I'm working on it.. Scarlett has big plans for Lilllith.



Joking.. ish

So I've been tinkering with some picture editors and whatnot...

What do you guys think of the new face of Harlow?

Nice, looks like a Red Talon, which is always a bonus.

Sample Promethean:

Necropolitian
WS-4/BS-4/S-6/T-7/W-3/I-5/A-3/Sv-2+
COMMON NAMES: Patchworks, Burtons, Stitches
DESCRIPTION: Created from multiple corpses, the Necropolitians resemble patchwork parodies of the Humanii. Necropolitians run the gamut from Frankenstein-like hulking monsters to whip-thin, gaunt figures. Like all Prometheans, the Necropolitians are extremely resilient, and are able to survive total dismemberment as long as their nail remains within their dead flesh. The Patchworks are animated by a nail of pure copper driven into their bodies, often in the back of the head.
DEFINING VIRTUE: Charity
DEFINING VICE: Envy
ANIMATING ELEMENT: Copper Nail
TRAITS: A Necropolitian reduced to 0 Wounds continues to function, but any further Wounds cause the Necropolitian to begin to fall apart as their sutures open. At -4 Wounds, a Necropolitian is incapacitated. An incapacitated Necropolitian is helpless, and may not defend themselves, and as such, all close combat attacks automatically hit.

Because Harlow's new photo looks cool, I got an image for a new NPC.

@ MDS...I'm going to assume that is something cool as I'm not sure what a Red Talon is...

@ Mordo...that looks really cool...I can imagine how annoying fighting one or more of those might be...

@ Chowder...image is broke...

And the new Longar, as no image has been shown of him, ever.

Spoiler:

I have no idea. It just looked like what the Degen I made looks like.

Werewolf the Apocalypse - Red Talons, Werewolves who hate humanity and only breed from Wolf stock.

Rahl?

hmmm...golems would be cool...

I tried to make a sheet to pitch to mordo, but the stats are eluding my tired mind.

Like I said, I do think those who have never seen it before will be surprised on how similar some of the ideas they came up with for BM are to WtA.

I mean that in a good way.

We already had the use of Golems...and I'd prefer not to have them become to overused.
Also don't want to introduce to many new elements ( races/ types) etc...as things are going to start to get jumbled...

Nah, I just looked em up...Rahl's wanna use the humans as livestock like the vampires are doin in the other world...Red Talons want mostly to kill them all...big difference there...

Mordo has been badgering me into joining this (i was planning on it) and asked me to suggest a new hunter cell.

I was thinking a relatively small cell known as the Hunters of the Bear. They are lead by an Ex KGB general who was Elected by Stalin when he was young to lead vampire and werewolf hunters though out the soviet union to destroy them. Now since the fall of Communist regime they have been getting smaller and smaller each generations. They force or retreat to get their prey into an trap and then ambush them. They are relatively a legend or a fairly tale to the more modern cells but the few who know about them have true respect for their elder cell.

I don't see a problem with that..
The Six Fingered Hands origins date back to the Dark Ages, so a group of Hunters as you described would be fine.

Mordo also said somthing about special abilities for hunters for certain types of cells

shroud010 wrote:Mordo also said somthing about special abilities for hunters for certain types of cells

The Hunter Archetypes can be found on the first page of this thread...
And there will be some knew ones being introduced as well.

There's also going to be a few variations of Hunter Cells as well, some of which will not allow the use of some of the Archetypes..
Overall the Hunters comprise a large Network of Humans who fight against Werewolves/Vampires/ etc...but there are a myriad of " types" involved within the Network....and many cells do not " get along" with others.

Case in point:
The Six Fingered Hand- The radical cell known as the Six Fingered Hand is composed of religious fanatics determined to rid the world of the taint of the supernatural. Responding to any threat with zealous and crushing force, the Hand is a valued, if somewhat unstable and dangerous part of the Network. Calling all forms of magick blasphemous, and as such employ no Djinni nor spellcasters of any kind, and find them just as bad as the evils they fight.

@Mordo

What's the position of The Six Fingered hand against Witch hunters?

Seeing as witchhunters use some form of charms/magick to contra other magick...

It varies ...they largely frown on the use of any magik ...but will allie with Witch Hunters from time to time.

The Interfectionis- The murder cult of the Interfectionis is a relatively new cult that has sprung up in the recent years. The cult is obsessed with the Perfect Death, a death so exquisitely acted out, so subtly, so skillfully, that the ghoul becomes a master of death, no longer bound by the Hunger, and able to live eternally without the warmth of the Corpus. The Interfectionis disdains the use of ranged weapons, and prefers an up close, personal kill with knives and cruel blades. An Interfectionis is a whirlwind of death is close combat, spinning about like a possessed dervish, ripping and cutting with fell glee. The other cults fear that the Interfectionis are mad, and worry that the target of the Perfect Death could be one of their Kindred masters. Nevertheless, the Interfectionis is well-respected for it's infiltration abilities and skill in the arts of death.

There are sub camps inside the Talons, Whelps Comprimise, have some very odd ideas on how to work with Humanity.

My idea is more or less for my NPC...but I figured it could fit in as a sort of "ninja" class for the wolves...the Mgral are close but IMO there's a hole in the wolf repertoire for that sort of thing...hence my suggestion...

@ MDS...yeah, I guess "odd" is a good word for it...

Jontunn
WS-5/BS-4/S-6/T-7/W-3/I-5/A-3/Sv-2+
COMMON NAMES: Icemen, Frostbite, Ice Blood
DESCRIPTION: Jontunn are created from frozen corpses and are brought back by a spark of energy and to keep their life flowing they must draw energy from all around them in order to keep themselves going, rooms feel cold when ever they are around and the surface of their skin in frozen and cracked because of the energy that is being taken form it.
DEFINING VIRTUE: Fortitude
DEFINING VICE: Wrath
ANIMATING ELEMENT: Iron Spike
TRAITS: A Jontunn a put all of his effort to take more Energy from the area, the area is filled with a bitter cold not only because the area is but because he is drawing the energy from others around him. All enemies get a -3 to imitative, even Vampires feel it too as their skin goes dry and starts to freeze.

FATE SPELLS

Serendipity- The mage reaches into the ether, drawing forth a bit of luck to aid them, and as any good mage knows, a little luck can go a long way. If successfully cast, the mage gains a +1 bonus to their Initiative and their WS and BS. This bonus lasts only for one turn of an event.

DR 6

Cosmic Trick- The mage interferes with the Wyrd of another, causing them to be beset by ill fortune. The target of this spell takes a -3 penalty to their Initiative and their WS and BS. This spell lasts only for a single turn in an event.

DR 8

Augury- The mage delves into the various strands of the future, attempting to divine events not yet passed. Upon a successful casting, the mage glimpses a vision of the future, often displayed in metaphor and deep with symbolism. The mage gains a +4 bonus to their Initiative for the next two events.

DR 14

Weaver of Fate- The mage now controls the strands of fate, able to change the immediate past to serve his whims. If successfully cast, the mage can choose to force the opposing side to skip their next turn OR count their (the foe) last turn as having never happened, and as such, all lost Wounds and whatnot are restored.

DR 16

Mordo and Berserk...slow down a bit guys..
While I'm fine with the introduction of new character types...such as mage's ,I don't want a whole bevey of new spells and elements piling up...

And...what does DR mean?

Sorry, I asked Morto for a bit a help and I was helping him with the Prometheans , I know there is a lot with the Spells, I will try and keep the effects straight forward and simple.

And DR is difficulty Rating, it's how high the mage needs to roll with his Magic die to have the spell work.

It's just that I want any and all "new" elements to blend in the established Blood Moon world...and that includes the combat system that already exist...
As I said, I like the idea of a Mage element being introduced...new spells and such, just do what you can to mesh it with the existing system...and try not to add to many new spells...6 to 8 at most.
