Generic NPCs

[KnightOrbis]

Here's a quick rundown

Alien
-sharp claws
-strong enough to break reinforced steel doors
-acid blood that explodes when they die
-spear-like tail that can go through metal
-hive mind of sorts
-can move on any surface; ceilings,walls
-night vision
-can sense other lifeforms
-secondary jaw that can shoot out from their primary ones.


Predator
-weapons; wristblades, plasma cannon, shurikens, razor whip, disc blade, retractable light throwing spear(primary weapon,and last resort near-nuclear power bomb)
-armor
-strong enough to rip through concrete walls with ease, can jump around twenty feet high and move and climb through dense jungle with incredible ease and speed (at least Superhuman Strength and possibly speed)
-tough enough to survive small arms fire without much trouble and being thrown through stone walls, and thick steel armor
-cloaking device
-they naturally see in infared
-masks with zoom, normal visible light,thermal, voice translater/recorder, and targeting for plasma cannon
-The Predator culture revolves around the hunting and stalking of dangerous lifeforms. After making a kill, a Predator typically skins or decapitates the carcass, converting it into a trophy. Headless, skinless carcasses are hung upside down, and skulls can be worn on belts if detached from the spine, or held aloft if still attached. Failure in a hunt results in the Predator involved committing an honorable suicide, they also won't hunt weak or unworthy quarry (young,sick,unarmed).
-wrist computer that can create holographic images, control predator technology.
-medical kits that are incredibly effective in healing.
-not used to human environment and after prolonged exposure to Earth's atmosphere they must use their mask's rebreather.

Xenomorph first.

I did this one entirely with canon Powers. If I were to use custom Powers, I might replace Claws with Potent Natural Weaponry. Then I'd drop the Strength to Inhuman.

I'd also consider adding Damage Shield to represent the acid blood.

Xenomorph (Chest Deep)

High Concept: Alien Monster
Other Aspects: Acid Blood, Weird-Ass Life Cycle, Hive Mind
Skills:
Superb: Fists, Athletics

Spider Walk [-1]
Cloak Of Shadows [-1]
Claws [-1]

Inhuman Recovery [-2]
The Catch (Fire, maybe also cold) [+3]
Total Refresh Cost:
-11
Refresh Total:
-3

[Mr. Death]

I'd say make the catch fire. In the movies, it seems to be something that rates pretty effectively. Though Ash in the first movie speculates that it's extreme temperatures at either end, hot or cold.

[Sanctaphrax]

As you can see, I took that suggestion. Thanks.

Now, Predator.

What do you think, KnightOrbis?

[KnightOrbis]

Looks great, i like how you did the predator technology especially, i think with the xeno i also think i will use damage shield and natural weapons and reduce strength to inhuman

[zaczane]

Ancient Dracula

High concept:First Among the Vampires
trouble: loss of a true love
other aspects:gentleman, Know your kin

-3 Vampiric Claws:weapons 4, cause the Attacke to be turned into a BCV or BCV master depending on the Attackers decision

-6 mythic recovery?

12-alertness, athletics, fists, intimidation, deceit, survival
11-might, endurance, conviction, presence, lore, stealth
10-empathy, rapport, discipline, contacts, resources, weapons


i know that this needs some tweaking but i think i at least got the structure of how ancient Dracula would be made
also im a little iffy on the mythic recovery but seeing that he is the first vampire i though that he would eventually gain a healing but im not sure if he should have a high one like mythic or lower like inhuman
i do know that he doesn't have living dead because he was never a actual rotting corpse him self

[zaczane]

that would put Dracula at  DEEP one level with a total refresh cost of 67

There are some issues here.

First, those skills are too high. The Senior Council caps out at 6-7, and I wouldn't even give Mab skills past 8.
Second, the Power costs are iffy. Cloak Of Shadows costs 1, making new supernaturals generally doesn't cost Refresh, and Perfected Domination is probably too cheap since Master Dominator costs 4 IIRC.
Third, there are all sorts of new Powers here that don't actually have writeups. What does Weather Control do? How is Perfected Shapeshifting better than True Shapeshifting? Etc.
Fourth, he lacks some abilities I'd expect. Echoes Of The Beast, Modular Abilities, spellcasting, and so on.

[zaczane]

first i off i saw weather control somewhere ill have to find it again though
second i know cloak of shadows cost -1 refresh but i figured he would buy it a few time to increase stealth
skills probably just move to 5,6, and 7 but same idea
perfected shape shifting is well actually no different my bad i thought i saw somewhere that it takes a full action or something so the only real difference would allow Dracula to split him self into a swarm of bats rather than just one bat
perfected domination maybe bump it up to -6 wait according to my written notes it is at six oops another typo
echoes of the beast well uh i guess thats why we do drafts first then the final write up
as for spell casting couldn't decide what he would exactly have
i guess modular abilities at say 18 refresh
possible addictive saliva cause then he has a bit of all three of the main courts

[Sanctaphrax]

first i off i saw weather control somewhere ill have to find it again though

You know, it occurs to me that my Incite Emotion rewrite could cover Weather Control.

second i know cloak of shadows cost -1 refresh but i figured he would buy it a few time to increase stealth

That isn't actually legal. Powers are one purchase only unless otherwise stated.

perfected shape shifting is well actually no different my bad i thought i saw somewhere that it takes a full action or something so the only real difference would allow Dracula to split him self into a swarm of bats rather than just one bat

Modular Abilities takes a full action. True Shapeshifting is supplemental. Making them faster would be worth Refresh.

Also, I'd probably let a True Shapeshifter turn into a swarm if they could afford the appropriate Powers out of Modular points.

as for spell casting couldn't decide what he would exactly have

I'd expect a mix of Evocation and Thaumaturgy, maybe vampiric Sponsored Magic, and some specializations in necromancy.

i guess modular abilities at say 18 refresh

What would he buy with all of that. He already has max physical Powers.

possible addictive saliva cause then he has a bit of all three of the main courts

Sounds good to me.

What about Feeding Dependency?

[Locnil]

That Dracula seems a bit overdone. Speaking of which, did you mean to stat that guy who Jm said could take on Mab in a fair fight, or his son?

Also, IIRC, weather control was from the ancient black court vampires someone did in the middle of this thread.

[zaczane]

as for the weather control power here it is
Weather Control[-3] Vampires of this degree learn to affect the weather with the power of their curse alone. This effectively means that the vampire is capable of using maneuvers to place weather-related Aspects. This is a Conviction roll, affecting up to Conviction zones automatically. Conditions range from fog(difficulty 2-3) to strong winds and rains(4-5) to hurricanes(difficulty 7-8).*

ok if you can't buy cloak of shadows more than once could we just make an enhanced version of cloak of shadows

as for the shape shifting just keep true shape shifting with modular abilities of 5-8?

im still a little iffy on how to put refresh points into evocation, Thaumaturgy, or sponsored magic especially once you get focus and enchanted item slots involved so id would be awesome if somebody else could cover that part

then yes i state that at first i figured after all his years as a vampire he doesn't need to feed but ill change that so he does have feeding dependency just maybe a power/stunt that makes him less vulnerable to it

consequences
mild-physical

moderate-any
moderate-any
moderate-any
severe-any
extreme-any

i believe i did that right(the consequences)

[Locnil]

That sponsored magic should be -2 since he has Evocation and Thaumaturgy. Also, you might want to add some Refinement.
