[jadecourtflunky]

They look great. Thanks.

[Buscadera]

The orks look great. Thanks!

[Sanctaphrax]

Nice as it is to hear praise, I was hoping for constructive criticism. I'm sure there's something that you think is off...

Anyway, here's the spy. I decided that he ought to have a lot of fate points, so I didn't give him as many stunts as I could have. I may do more spies if inspiration strikes me, since this one doesn't cover all the bases.

Credit goes to Buscadera: He came up with the idea, I formulated possible powers, he translated into in-game mechanics.  I fleshed out the story a little, here.

Molemen operate in small packs (usually a dozen or less).  Not Fae, they serve various Earthen spirits.  Most of the time they serve the Spirit's down below, but occasionally are commanded by their masters to venture to the surface.  They usually travel with at least one or two higher-level Molemen in case of a cave collapse (escape into the NeverNever).  As often as not, a mortal may make a deal with one of these Earthen deities to "borrow" these creatures for their own designs.


Stunts/Powers:
*Inhuman Strength [-2]
*Inhuman Toughness [-2]
*Claws [-1]
*Cloak of Shadows [-1].
Total Refresh: 6

 The higher-level ones have Worldwalker [-2] (Refresh 8 ).  There is always at least one of these in a pack.

[Sanctaphrax]

I'd love to see this idea developed some more. What sort of skills were you planning to give these molemen? And what did you have in mind for their deities?

Vampire Poser (Hydrophobe)

High Concept: Vampire Impersonator
Other Aspects: Might Well Think That He's The Real Thing, A Real Vampire's Lunch, Drama Monarch, Creature Of The Night

Method Actor (Performance): May use Performance instead of Deceit to impersonate a vampire, may create vampire disguise that will stand up to inspection.
Vampires Are Scary (Performance): May use Performance to intimidate when impersonating a vampire.
Vampire Poser (Performance): +2 to Performance when Impersonating a vampire.

That guy looks like the kind of guy who gets his face broken when he tries to scare a jumpy PC ....

That guy looks like the kind of guy who gets his face broken when he tries to scare a jumpy PC ....

If he's lucky.  If he tries to jump--or even walk menacingly--near a wizard, he might just end up roasted.

[jadecourtflunky]

Hey, can you stat up various ghosts? I'm playing as a ghost-speaker in an upcoming game, and it may help my GM if I end up on the bad end of one.

[Sanctaphrax]

The funny thing is that the Vampire Poser is actually very good at posing as a vampire. Superb, in fact. But he still comes across as a loser.

And yes, I can do ghosts. As it happens, I already had a request for a guardian ghost on my list. It'll be up soonish.

[Katarn]

I'd love to see this idea developed some more. What sort of skills were you planning to give these molemen? And what did you have in mind for their deities?

Well, initially they were just a plot device for a guest star story, and we decided to flesh them out a little.  If we encounter them in-game (which I'll be pushing with my GM), I'll stat them up further in another post.  As for deity, just generic earth spirits (not anything Cthulu-level- more like non-Fae spirits as strong or weaker than your average Sidhe.)  Maybe one or two were worshiped long ago, but the majorities are just entities (like ones Harry could summon up).  They make deals to loan out the molemen with a variety of mortals, so they're not necessarily too powerful (ie not very selective).
