ok i hav a good one for you or at least half of one
what could i put for aspects possibly other things to if there is any ideas for a Loup garou that can actually change when he chooses.  other than getting rid of the unwanted change power

You mean... A powerful werewolf.

[BumblingBear]

You mean... A powerful werewolf.

Yup.

Just up the refresh and add physical immunity to an existing werewolf.

I personally hate physical immunity, though... unless it has a pretty large catch.

Like, physical immunity to magic, or physical immunity to bullets is acceptable.  Physical immunity to everything but inherited silver is more plot device territory.

I dunno about that. Loup-garou differ from ordinary werewolves significantly.

I'd think that a voluntary loup-garou would have a very high Discipline to reflect extremely good self-control. Demonic Co-Pilot and the Berserker stunt would also seem appropriate.

As for aspects, I'd add something to reflect the "always-angry killing machine" attitude that comes with loup-garou-hood. It might also be fun to make him an incredibly boring person in normal life, with aspects to reflect that.

[zaczane]

that sounds good to me
i wounder what kind of demon possesses a loup garou though

[Sanctaphrax]

Sorry, no idea.

[Belial666]

Spiritually vivisect the Loup-Garou and find out!!! 


Joking aside it's probably a rage demon, since the Loup is a mindless engine of destruction.

[ways and means]

The spirit of Luna Mania or maybe a spirits of rage who is just more potent in the full moon.

hey i know this maybe an obvious question to some people but is necromancy only done through thaughmaturgy
thats what i think it would be anyway but just to be sure i wanted some other opinions

[Samael]

1) Its spelled "thaumaturgy"

2) Kemmlerian Necromancy - look it up in the Sponsored Magic section of the Spellcraft chapter.

This.

Plus, I know that this thread has gotten WAAAAY off track, but we should probably take our non NPC posts somewhere else.

[zaczane]

well sorry if i didnt make it clear but if any body wants to make me a mindful loup garou thank you

[Sanctaphrax]

This is heavily based upon the Loup-Garou entry on page 94 of OW.

This guy doesn't have free will. I hope you don't have a problem with that.

1 more refresh and the loup-garou becomes an engine of destruction that can shift whenever it wants. Scary.

yeh well my friend says that if control when it forms then its just another werewolf not a loup-gaou
which i personally have to say is BS because the way you made it was much better

Not only that, you could compel the heck out of any PC or NPC who turns into a Loup Garou when he/she is changed.

You could make it more of a liability to change than a boon.

Like... the Loup Garou /should/ have to pay a few fate points to just not attack his team mates in the first few minutes of the change.

The loup garou /should/ have to pay a fate point (to resist a compel) in order to change back whenever he wants.

The flip side is that while a loup garou, he/she should be getting compels to pretty much kill and destroy everything around.  So if the PC is crafty and changed into a monster in the middle of a WCV hideout.... ::evil grin::
