@bibliophile: Thank you.

@bitterpill: Couple things puzzle me about your character there. First, are those powers from Items Of Power? It looks as though they are, but you haven't awarded yourself a discount.

And second, your skill list looks off. If my count is right, you have 41 points worth of skills. And Riding is a part of Survival.

You can probably also get back a few more points off those catches, but that's just my inner powergamer talking.

[bitterpill]

It is an item of Power but it is buried in the eye of the Character so I am not sure if a bonus is appropriate, the character is from the fairy tale the snow queen. Short version the devil creates a mirror to warp reality it breaks and fragments of the mirror fall to earth getting in the eyes and hearts of people and corrupting them.  Long story he is saved by his true love that travels into the heart of winter to save him and succeeds by the power of his love.

[Sanctaphrax]

Much better. Sounds like a fun character to play.

It's not really meant as a spare PC, but I posted a nice little villain at http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,24639.0.html.

Summary:
A former child beauty queen who is now a low powered sorceress (ritual and channeling only) runs a modelling agency where she takes average looking clients and grants them (temporarily) model level beauty.  The transformation is only temporarily - making it like a drug.  Models have to go out and earn her money to pay for their weekly transformation, or they go back to being ugly looking people.  Adding to the villainy, the sorceress hates those who worship at the alter of beauty and has scorn, contempt, and hatred for her clients.

In combat the character is next to useless, but the villain works as a spider in its web.  The background also explains how she got that way and puts her in a semi-sympathetic light.

And here's another villain - http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,24639.msg1044671.html#msg1044671.

He's the Twisted Mentor of the first villain.  He could be used with her, against her, without her (as a random magic using creep), or a PC's twisted mentor.

No, he's not worth much in a fight either.  He's a low life creep of a slacker who would prefer to run rather than fight - and he's not breaking any of the laws of magic.  Several mortal laws, but he strictly avoids doing anything that could get him dead.
