Now that I'm done with the Fomors, I'm going to be completing a few more requests from cgodfrey, who is rapidly becoming my main source of inspiration. The current line-up is: Aztec Shaman, Kelpie (two versions), Rakshasa, Leviathan.

Concerning King Corb: the Throne Of Leviathan is not supported by anything from the books. I thought that King Corb was boring and decided that he needed an IoP, so I threw it in. Remember: there's no evidence that he doesn't have something like that.

[Sanctaphrax]

Looks good, Belial. Thanks for explaining the powers so completely.

Incidentally, I forgot the Aspects for the D&D-Style Rakshasa. I'm correcting that now.

[Sanctaphrax]

The mythological descriptions of Rakshasa are too varied for a single stat block. Some accounts say that they are capable of shapeshifting and possession, but I've chosen to ignore them for the purposes of this character. I may decide to make a third Rakshasa someday, though.

[Tbora]

Could you do stats for necrothemed creatures?

Such as:

1)Kamikaze Zombie (A zombie that is basically a suicide bomber, it rushes and explodes for a Weapon: 4 zone attack, and dies in the process, very powerful in numbers of four or five or more in a single room, great for booby trap)
2)Zombie Birds (Eyes in the Sky, they  can go and scope out an area the player, and it can either report what it saw or its master can see through its eyes via a mirror or crystal ball or similar viewing device.)
3)Uber Zombie On Steroids (Basically for ancient human corpses 1000+ years, basically an upgrade on the standard zombie)
4) Zombie Chimera ( A zombie that has been created with different body parts of various creatures both humans and not to create a powerful but quite insane abomination. Several variations of these would be nice.)
5) Demon Souled Zombie (Zombies are powered by weak and quite stupid spirits of the Nevernever to animate them. What happens if you summon up a spirit that is neither weak nor stupid? Enter the Demon Souled Zombie, harder to create, but much tougher and more powerful. Have fun with this one, again I can see multiple variations for this depending on the demon spirit summoned.)
6) Shades - enslaved ghosts that can act as bodyguards and scouts as they can go through walls and see things your average creature can't)
7) Kracken Shade (the shade of a giant squid that has been summoned and bound to the necromancers will, it can move through walls, swim through the air, and attack several times at once because of the several tentacles up to a zone away.)
Zombie Dinosaurs ( We have Sue sure, but their are lots of dinosaur zombies I'd like to see other then a T-Rex, such as a Pterodactyl, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, and a Stegosaurus.

I think this is enough to keep you real busy for a while, what do you think?

[Sanctaphrax]

Yes, that ought to keep me from getting bored. Thanks.

[Belial666]

A being that is larger than a battleship but without Legendary Might/Endurance?

Not to mention it only does 8 stress. Any stunts/powers to do extra damage, perhaps?

[Sanctaphrax]

That's what powers are for. It's got a lifting/breaking strength of 22 and it's flat-out immune to any weapon smaller than an anti-tank bazooka. Even then, it has Mythic Toughness. So I think that Fantastic skill is enough, although I can see why you would disagree.

As for the stress issue: good point. I'll give it a stunt. 10 stress is still less than it probably deserves, but I don't want each hit to be an automatic kill or even an automatic extreme consequence. Making it make sense should be easy with a bit of creative description. Something like: It misses you, but the massive wake that it leaves behind smashes you against the remains of your boat hard enough to shatter bones. Take 11 stress.
