NOT ALLOWED BACKGROUNDS

  • Ancestors, Kinfolk, Pure Breed, Rites or Totem (Possessed 101)

Fomori Options:

  • Breed: Only Fomori can also optionally set Breed (see bottom of page below for some requirements/suggestions)
  • Pentex: Fomori directly employed by Pentex should set Affiliation = Pentex
    • Fomori declared as Pentex employees in chargen also get some free backgrounds (Possessed 39):
      • Resources 2
      • Contacts 2 (limited to other Pentex employees)
      • Equipment 1

Kami: Set +notes for mission statement (what did Gaia create you to do?) and geas (something you're banned from doing)

  • Possessed 82-83: missions are individual, short-term (no long elaborate infiltration of the enemy), and generally involve defending land and living creatures (as a whole, not necessarily individuals)

Possessed powers:

  • 5 free
  • Drones, Fomori, Gorgons: Additional points can be purchased for 2 Temporary Autonomy each
  • Kami, Fomori, Gorgons: Additional points can be purchased by taking an equal number of Taints
  • Gorgons: Not actually possessed humans (Possessed 64), thus need Skinshift or some other ability to look human

Autonomy:

  • Reduced as needed to pay for powers (see above)
  • Reduced by the Consecrated background: 1 = 3T, 2 = 5T, 3 = 1P, 4 = 2P, 5 = 3P

Taints: However many you want (Drones cannot take Taints).

Willpower cannot exceed Autonomy. Permanent Autonomy can never be lower than 4. (Again, Kami do not have Autonomy.)

Staff will set +effects for the following - DO NOT SET THIS YOURSELF

  • Enhanced Attribute: +1 (max 8) per 2 power dots
  • Exoskeleton: +1 Str/Sta
  • Unnatural Strength: +4 Str
    • Cannot have both Enhanced Attribute (Str) and Unnatural Strength
    • House rule: These three are limited to +8 per category and +12 total
  • Bestial Mutation: covered by +shift (you should really take Hidden Power merit at this point)
  • Size: +/-1 per 2 power dots

Other +sheet updates based on powers

  • Bulky: +3 health
  • Size: +/-1 health per 2 power dots
  • Thick-Skinned: +1 health per time it's taken (4 dots per time, max times = base Stamina)
