HAd a couple of thoughts for you Bear, well one for you one for your GF...
I may have a nemesis of the Were-Pixie...a 14-year old boy who runs around with a butterfly net and a mason jar muttering something about Needing an extra life...
(Yes this is obviously intended to be humorous, but I may consider making something like this but with a much more sinister edge...who couldn't find a use for pixie-blood?
After reading through your thread about the two characters I have had some other thoughts as well;
For her I'd say limit her to a Fae Changeling or an Olympian Changeling but not both. A three-way tie for the soul doesn't make a lot of sense from the standpoint that it doesn't seem like it would physically be possible. She could have had a half-Fae mother and half-Olympian father, but at that point the human half would be far more overwhelming and the overall power would be kind of diluted. I also think it may be too confusing for her as a first-time gamer. For the setting I have in mind an Olympian Changeling would fit beautifully.
For your character I might allow the Refresh 10 with a few caveats; Only 35 skill points (As if Chest-Deep power level)
- All of your supernatural powers except the Wizard Health are tied to the Hook. If you lose it you have NO supernatural powers at all. This would count as a +3 Catch.
- In addition if the Hook is ever Lost or Stolen you will have an automatic Compel to drop whatever you are doing to look for it. This can range from the "Stop! I dropped my hook on the ground, help me find it!" to "My nemesis has stolen my Hook and is going to melt it down.". This will not apply if you are still in close proximity (20' x Discipline Modifier) to the Hook, even if not in possession of it (You will know when you are within close proximity to the Hook.). You can of course spend a Refresh to cancel this effect for a number of hours equal to your Discipline Modifier; -1 cumulative for each time the refresh has been used for this purpose.
- I'm also thinking about adding on a "Punishment Clause" where you have to perform some kind of Painful Obeisance to Pele to Reactivate the Hook's powers; typically will involve some form of self-mutilation by fire. Between the above Catch and Compel with this Clause it would cover the +5 you would need to have an effective refresh of 10.
Note: As Pele is also an island Goddess I'm thinking a Catch related to being in water isn't really going to work, but again we can talk about it on Sunday.
