- Faction: Kami => Gaian, Gorgon => Wyld, Fomor => Wyrm, Drone => Weaver
- Fomori can also optionally set Breed (see below for some requirements/suggestions)
- Fomori directly employed by Pentex should set Affiliation = Pentex
| Stat | Baseline | Freebies per additional dot |

| Abilities | 11/7/4 | 2 |
| Powers | 5 | not increased with freebies, see below |
| Backgrounds | 5 | 1 |

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
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
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)
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 should set +effects for the following
- 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)
- Berserker: Rage (base 3, can be raised with freebies/XP)
- Spirit Ties: Gnosis (base 1, can be raised with freebies/XP)
Fomor breeds (Possessed 32-37)
| Breed | Required | Suggested |
|---|---|---|
| Gorehounds | Berserker, Enhanced Attribute (Strength, Stamina), Regeneration Taint: Derangement | |
| Enticers | Succubus' Veil Taint: Addiction (Siren cosmetics) |
Enhanced Attribute (Appearance, Charisma), Fangs Taint: Derangement (Delusions of Grandeur, Paranoia) |
| Brain Eaters | disallowed as PCs (along with Brain Eating power) | |
| Hollow Men | Dispersion | Regeneration Wasp colony: Flight, Natural Weaponry (stinger), Poison Constrictor colony: Enhanced Attribute (Strength), Pliant Bones Rat colony: Enhanced Attribute (Perception), Infectious Bite Taints: Fading, Infected |
| Ferectoi | Permanent Autonomy can never exceed 5 free Hidden Power merit cannot take Unpossessed merit (requires Autonomy 6+) |
- This takes precedence over BotWyrm (Possessed is newer)
- Toads (BotWyrm 116) will be reviewed if/when someone apps one
