wings, antlers, rabbit body...

claws - wings, impossible leaps?...probably diminuitive size?
At least 3 Templates, Stunts, Powers, Primary Skills, or Aspects please.

Also, what is a jackalope?

i was explaining and trying to stat a jackalope.

They are a rabbit with tiny antlers adn pheasant wings.  it's a silly little hunter/redneck myth as i understand it.

Texas harbors a species of the dreaded Jackalope.  Its known for chasing down trucks and robbing them of beer, although its a mystery why he only attacks those with large quantites of beer.   8)



I have never heard of the winged variety, must be a yankee offshoot.  lol

The wings are for stealing beer from deer stands and duck blinds etc.  or any drunk in a tree.  A very important evolution.

I propose variants or modular abilities.

There is no reason fisherman shouldn't fear the aquatic or snorkeling variant.

Eustace Scuggs is a walking stereotype. His name shows up if you google the word "redneck". He spends his days drinking, hunting, watching TV, and delivering moonshine for his brother.

It's that last pastime that landed him in his current predicament. He was delivering some special moonshine to a man who up and vanished before he arrived. Eustace didn't want the moonshine to go to waste, so he drank it.

34 hours later, Eustace woke up in the form of a Jackalope. This would have been bad enough on its own, but of course it got worse. His nephew (also named Eustace) caught sight of him. Word got around fast, and a hunt started. Eustace Sr. barely managed to escape.

Now Eustace is changing randomly back and forth from human to Jackalope. And he's scared. He's doing everything he can to work out what the hell happened to him without revealing his secret.

But his brother swears that the only special thing about the moonshine was its potency. Eustace has no idea what's going on.

It isn't possible to become a wizard without a healthy dose of inborn talent. But no amount of talent can guarantee wizardry. Aroo Reos is living proof of that.

His mother and father were both wizards of the white council. But in the war with Kemmler they both died and the 5-year-old Aroo was left completely alone.

Aroo would probably have died in a gutter if not for his magical talents. His will to live awakened his magic and he was able to call rats to protect and feed him. And so Aroo was raised by rats.

This turned out to be bad for his mental health. Which, combined with a total lack of real training in magic, lead to the crippling of Aroo's magical talents. His life skills didn't do too well either. Aroo was never able to integrate into normal society. To this day, he lives in a sewer pipe.

But Aroo's actually not so badly off. He is the unquestioned king of the sewers and the rats within them.

And a kingdom of vermin is still a kingdom.

Aroo lives happily among the rats, ruling over them like a god. He has a court of elder rats and a wise familiar/advisor named Ben and an army of rabid vermin. So far as he's concerned, he's living the high life.

You never disappoint, Sancta. Aroo's fantastic for a low-refresh character, and as unique as his Ritual style. When I came up with the idea I was (of course) having some fond memories of the movie Willard (Starring Crispin Glover) and I wondered how viable a Rodentiamancer could be. Aroo perfectly fits into the niche I imagined for him. And with so much room to grow, he could be an oddball powerhouse if advanced to Submerged level.

Thanks kindly.

One thing I wasn't sure about for Aroo was whether or not he should have Wizard's Constitution. If you use him, I recommend you consider giving him that power.
