Wierd Character Ideas
srl51676:
Ok I just had a thought. would it be possible to work a character that had little or no physical being such as a ghost of being of pure spirit like Bob (at much reduced power OFC). This was just a spur of the moment idea thought I would just throw it out there.
SoulCatcher78:
I think it would be a great idea for a secondary character who can accomplish things that your more fleshy primary character could not. I think someone brought an idea like this in one of the Rick Neal Q/As as being better as an aspect rather than an NPC or a full on PC. The limitations might be a bit much for being a primary character though (no going out in daylight without a host, etc).

Completely intangible characters are costly (in terms of the power set), and speaking as someone who has run a game for a player who wanted one (in a much earlier version), they're very, very difficult to wrangle alongside a regular play-group.
Chuck Chuck Razool:
I have 2 character concepts that I've thought about.
1. A character who's main motivation is to disseminate as much information about the magical world at large to the general public. This includes street corner 'performances' in which they gather a crowd and performs acts of harmless but undeniable magic.
2.A sort of artificer who's particular talent in magic is making enchanted items and is obsessed with discovering a way around the murphyonic field.
traeki:
1. At what point does magic become "undeniable"? When it puts men on the moon? When it systematically kills millions of people? ::purses lips:: People are resolute ostriches, man.
2. An artificer specializing in enchanted items would be extremely straightforward to create. There's a stripped down kind of Thaumaturgy that's practically tailor-made for this purpose.
