Voodoo Houngans (and Mambos)
Deadmanwalking:
Taking ten minutes and a roll, without getting particularly tired, combined with the +2 Human Form sounds about right.
Now, you could add a Feeding Dependency requirement to reflect getting tired, or being possessed to the Loa's own ends (as suggested above), bu as things stand, the prep-work required for the power makes the +2 Human Form appropriate, and adding on any tiring mechanic without the Houngan getting something for it (as he would with the Feeding Dependency) seems overly harsh.
R00kie:
Brilliant.
[*]I wont go with modular abilities (too complex and unnecessary )
[*]I'll will go with Inhuman Toughness
[*]I'll mention the sponsored magic option but I don't think this is really what he wants so I suspect we'll drop it.
[*]Finally I'll put two options to the player - one with feeding dependency and one without. I'll drop the additional tiredness mechanic.
Thanks for all your help. I think we have what we need now to make the character the playe wants :)
Deadmanwalking:
I, at least, am always happy to help.
I enjoy mucking about with how to do things in game systems, and in this particular case, while I'd considered how to make a houngan previously, the idea of using Human Form (+2) hadn't even occurred to me, so in the long run, you've probably helped me just as much as I've helped you.
SaintAndSinner:
Personally I'd go with Sponsored magic and Ghost Speaker (enhanced version to talk to Ghosts and Loa). Everything else would fall under rituals to get the Loa to do what you want.

Doesnt that run counter to the guidelines in the "Some Guidelines for Thaumaturgical Shapeshifting?" thread?
