I plan on pitting one of my players up against some of the famous Brothers Grimm fairytale creatures, as a nod to his character's last name, Valentine Grimm. The first I had in mind was Rumplestiltskin, and I planned on making him a Wyldfae and playing him as a kind of supernatural confidence man. I sat down to draw up a character sheet and had a serious case of writer's block. They're playing at "Up to Your Waist" PL, and I wanted him to at least be one step up from that, so as to provide an antagonist with a little bit of lasting power. If anyone is willing to take a shot at it, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Wellll.... his power isn't necessarily that he can spin straw into gold. He could be any type of WyldFae who can either grant wishes and/or craft things: which you choose will determine whether he is an equal-opportunity fairy bargain miracle broker, or simply a crafting Fae who offers craft-related fairy bargain miracles when the opportunity arises.
What sort of threat or challenge are you hoping this creature will provide?
Also, to make this one a significant challenge, take Valentine Grimm's total Refresh spent on Powers, and spend 150-200% of that on powers for RS.
-
High Deceit and Greater Glamours, perhaps?
Golden straw could be a True Seeming.
I could take a shot at him if you tell me what he ought to be good at.
-
For me Rumpelstilzkin is the Wyldfae king of the Leperchauns. Yes you read right. Leprechauns are greedy little bastards that take your money and hide it "behind the rainbow".
He looks like a big fat man with a big goldring on every finger and nearly unable to move in a hall made nearly completly of gold. Midas had a bargain with him.
You can reach him most easily by opening a portal on wall street.
(his brother by the way is the king of the redcaps. (human eating, blood drinking guys) The two where created when rumpelstilzkin was captured by the king in the fairytail and then split in half by horses)

I did some quick research and found an invaluable resource for you to use as an aid in creating Rumplestiltskin!

Sounds like spawn of tax collectors to me.

No kidding. I'd have the way to Rumpelstilzkin's domain open up in the IRS building.

Take a ticket and wait three days for the portal to open.

I'd be hesitant to open a portal to the Never Never on wall street, you might end up in a Dragon's hoard.
-
All the more reason to do it.
Either kill a dragon and steal a hoard or die. Sounds fun.
-
Occupy Dragon Hoard? :o
-
Occupy Dragon Hoard? :o
99% of Dragons have all of the gold?

I like my gaming with a touch of politics but I think we might be getting into "too much territory", for me anyhow.
I'll just safely say that I like the ways of dealing with greater glamours to get the desired effect.
