DFRPG / Help with a Pseudo-Vampire Build
« on: August 08, 2010, 07:22:54 PM »
One my players wants to play as a Red Court Infected, but
(click to show/hide)
and so I've been toying with the idea of a new kind of partial vampire.

The Idea: A Ritualist, or Thaumaturgist, finds a suitable demonic entity and binds it into their mind/onto their soul/etc so that they can tap into its powers to enhance their own. In a way, it is sort of like turning yourself into a walking, talking hexenwulf belt.

The Build:

Ritual (Diabolism) [-2]
The Sight [-1]
Soulgaze [-0]
Human Form [+1] (symbolic of turning over the "heavy lifting" to the demon so as to tap into its powers)
-Demonic Co-Pilot [-1]
-Blood Drinker [-1]
-Feeding Dependency (Blood) [+1]
--Inhuman Recovery [-2]
--The Catch [+1] is holy stuff.
--Inhuman Speed [-2]
--Inhuman Strength [-2]

Refresh Cost: -8

The Questions:

Does having Demonic Co-Pilot under Human Form seem correct?

Does the overall concept seem sound?

I'm in the midst of building a psychomancer antagonist, inspired by the big bad in Stephen King's Storm of the Century, but I've hit a bit of a wall: I can't decide whether his rotes, all of which are Spirit (mental) evocations, qualify for the benefits of Lawbreaker and wanted some input. None of them are technically a gross violation, no mind reading or enthrallment, but all rely upon breaching the victim's mind to produce the effect, though it's debatable as "just flavor" on the breaching portion. At odds is really just whether he gets the benefits, and can sling more power around, or not.

The rotes are:
-Two maneuvers to place Can't Think and Petrified by Fear on singular targets as sticky aspects (the former reads as having their thoughts interrupted, and the latter as hallucinations of their worst fear)
-A direct mental stress attack (based on assaulting the victim's mind with their worst memories)
-His ace: Block/grapple to deal mental stress via torture (effectively Crucio)
