I came up with the thought that Inspire Lasting Emotion would allow the Sphinx to deal Mental stress, perform blocks and other combat maneuvers, if we were able to consider "confusion" as a reasonable vector (or perhaps "pride" such that the Sphinx drives a target's pride and forces it to waste time and energy trying to solve one of its diabolical riddles posed in the middle of a conflict).
Belial666:
OK, major abomination goodness just posted.
Also, the Greek legends of the Sphinx at least do not give her mental powers. But many fantasy portrayals (such as the DnD one) do.
devonapple:
Well, I didn't want it to be a mental power so much as giving some more teeth to the Sphinx's ability to Riddle.
Sanctaphrax:
@devonapple: With that in mind, a reflavoured Incite Emotion power would be a reasonable choice for the Sphinx. Perhaps it could be combined with a stunt that lets the Sphinx use Scholarship instead of Deceit for mental attacks and maneuvers. I guess we can call it a variant on the basic Sphinx.
@Belial: Love the revenants. Great theme, pretty good mechanics, and appropriate for the high-level games where most of the stuff in OW is too weak. The game I'm GMing (and you're playing in), for example. Have you considered adding those powers to the custom power thread? I'd do it for you, but it seems a bit rude somehow.
I was planning to do a movie-style zombie myself, which would have essentially been a weaker version of your Hunger Revenant. Actually, I may still do that.
@both: You might already know that there's a DFRPG Resource Wiki in development. If you guys could help set it up, it would be greatly appreciated. And if you don't have the time/interest, could I at least add your creations to it?
Belial666:
Feel free to add what I post here to custom powers and/or the wiki. Unfortunately, my time is relatively limited so I can't help with those right now.
As for the Revenants, they were an idea I've had for some time, as you might have noticed from posts in said games. And as you can see, making an army of Void Revenants is a really bad idea, even if someone could do it. :P
