DFRPG / Character Creation Advice
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:04:22 PM »
Okay, so I just got the DFRPG book in the mail. I'm having a little trouble figuring out the logistics of my character, because there are so mayn things I want to do with him. So, I broke it down into a few different builds I could roll with and I'll go with the one that will be the least complicated in the long run.
-I was thinking of a gun-slinging character. My main inspiration for this character comes from Dante of the Devil May Cry series, but I'm afraid his Aspects and Powers will come too close to Kincaid's. Especially since Scion is the only way I could think of him being able to have the powers to pull off the stunts I would like him to.
-An Alchemist. Someone who is either Crazy Prepared or has the Aspect of Macgyver, in order to simplify his potion making and make him actually useful in confrontations. Possibly, the orphan son of a witch who was kind of a Nevernever biologist. Raised by a tree spirit, giving him a strong connection to nature, that aids him in his on the spot potion making.
-A Thaumaturgist. Same deal as the alchemist. Going with the crazy prepared or Macgyver skill for on the spot rituals. My practice scenario for him was that he was in a group that was in the winter area of the Nevernever. A giant snow beast is attacking the party, and as they hold off the beast, he creates has one of the party members create a snowman while he focuses and prepares a thaumaturgic ritual connecting his snowman and the snowbeast. Once the ritual is complete, he has someone melt the snowman or kick it's head off, thus destroying the snowbeast. I was thinking that I could possibly combine him with the Alchemist, to create one character.
-A dual-sword wielding teleporter. For all my reading through the book I can't figure a way to make this convincing. I was thinking that he is a World-Walker that specializes in opening portals quickly enough to do some nifty battlefield teleportation, on top of his sword prowess.
-I was wanting an Outsider themed character, due to my love of Lovecraft, but I hear these are kind of hard to pull off.
