Magicborn Template
« on: June 30, 2016, 04:45:52 AM »
So, here's the deal:

Our DM placed us in a scenario inspired in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" where we are fighting a Scion cursed with inmortality, he can only die if killed by "one who's been born of no woman". In the original play they accomplish this with a man who was born out of the corpse of his mother, but we get explained that such a technicallity was not truly useful. This guy tried to die that way and nothing. So we (the party) decided to create life. We basically used these rules:

1-You have to justify the body (We used an old marble statue brought by the White Court)
2-You must justify the Soul (My wizard used soulfire in the mixture, since it grows back we assumed it could also be planted in another being)
3-You must justify 2 shifts of power per aspect (Template and conflict are free)
4-You must justify 2 shifts of power per refresh
5-You must justify 1 shift of power per skill point
6-You must justify 1 shift of power per step in the time ladder (for lifespan)
7-Each skill can only be as high as one of the creators (so if no one has discipline 5 it can't have discipline 5)
8-Each supernatural power/stunt must come from one of its creators or another contributor (Summer and Winter Court and White and Black Court, don't ask)

It ended up being a total of 69 shifts of power to create a Refresh 11, 3 aspects, 38 skill points and a mortal lifespan.

I'm very proud of the ritual XD yes we steped in a gray area for the 5th Law of magic, can I create artificial life? Apparently we can. Do with this as you wish XD

Your wizards were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.  :D

(Seriously, this sounds like a cool storyline)

Like a female human of 18 years, white hair and red eyes, carries a powerful sword (given by Monoc Securities), she possess inhuman strength and speed and is capable of evocation but not thaumaturgy.

Believe me we discussed A LOT about wether or not we should do it, we even had a Warden of the Council finally submit to the idea only to supervise we don't create a world shattering abomination  :P

Please tell me that despite your precautions this was, in fact, the result, and now you have to hunt your creation down.

Not yet, see I was the one making the case to actually do it, my first example was Robocop, he was an act of hubris but he served the greater good, second I quoted Asimov and proposed to use aspects to shape the being to avoid that result, and third I said that the only reason Frankenstein's monster made Victor's life a living hell was because he didn't care about the life he brought to this world so now I'm the proud and very scared father o a magicborn creature trying to make her into a decent human being. But we still haven't played enough to see how that end up.
