Title: character creation help
Post by: Logan01X on June 02, 2010, 07:23:20 AM

I'm thinking of playing someone who is a descendant of the real Dr. Jekyll that has his own Mr. Hyde. For the powers I was thinking of using this build

Dr Jekyll Form (As Human Form with Involuntary change, caused by anger/rage or even sometimes when he sleeps) +2
Mr. Hyde Form (As Beast Change) -1
Inhuman Strength -2
Inhuman Speed -2
Inhuman Recovery -2
Inhuman Toughness -2
The Catch (Magic) +3 (not easy to get +1 and easy to research +2)
Total -4

I was thinking of using a Discipline roll to resist the change at a difficulty the GM decides is fair for the situation. Of course I would have to take the Aspect "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"

Yeah, that all works. What did you need help with?

I'd put the catch at +2, unless just about everyone knows about it, but thats just a quibble.  The character looks good.  Are you wanting advice on skills or aspects?

Do you mean that any magical attacks at all fulfil the Catch?

I've been playing with the same idea too.

Define easy to research though.

Hyde was a one-off effect, and even if the book exists, there is no mention of him being taken down by spells. I'd make it [+1]

Also, for my version of Jekyll, I was thinking Ritual[alchemy] as the other family tradition. If you really want to change, drink the potion...
