One of my nastier NPCs - opinions?

[Save_vs_DM]

Thanks for the tip.

Hmm.

If the group ever actually faces Mommy Hannah, though, it will either be after (intelligently) trying to face her at great range, or she could stealth right into them and get  the first shot with an ambush (which would be disgustingly nasty).

If the group has to use their fate points for defense (which would be likely), they won't be able to get as much off in offense.

Another thing I could do is have Mommy Hannah attack only part of the group.

Hmm... this really gives me something to think about, though.  According to Your Story, stattting a monster that would give a real challenge to my group would be like... 80 refresh.

An 80 refresh Lich for instance could be tossing around like 40 shift evocations around!

It's all ok as long as my PCs are prepared to die... lol.  I may email them about just that today.

Well, I've found that after about 40-50 refresh things just simply get too wonky. At that point I start looking at mooks to fill things out a bit more. Even with that huge stress track you can still stack everything into one wicked attack and go nuts.

Now, if you can survive a few big strikes things get much more interesting. And it may be different with you, as I know all of the characters really well and the entire situation (this being a con game).

One thing you could do which could be quite disgusting if mommy is in danger of being overwhelmed is have her give birth in combat to something(s)...

Having a zerg rush defense just when you think you've got the big bad trapped, the PCs suddenly face a swarm of newborn things. Play up the horror if Mommy Hannah has been using human and other DNA a newborn human baby (babies) piteously crying while it (they) sprouts various venomous clawed appendages and transforms into face hugging, flesh ripping horror. Even better if there is a female PC/NPC that goes to comfort said crying infant(s) just before the horrific change happens...

Maybe Mommy Hannah can summon normal creepy crawlies, several thousand centipedes, millipedes and other vermin, which might be venomous can really add to 'ick in 'magick'.

That's a good idea.  I already have her "spawn" statted.

I actually was inspired for the whole idea with this pic:

That's one of the better reasons of why you don't buy your children more than one doll with compatible parts.

If I had a kid and they made that thing, you'd better believe I'd be locking my bedroom door at night.
