One that came up while someone was making a ghost-speaking were-jaguar...

A Were-Cougar Cougar.
T: In Heat
Aspects such as: Me-yow, On the Prowl, there were a few more that we joked about.

Wow.  Just wow.  catgurl lovers across the world rejoice eh? ;D

I think it has potential if handled with comedy in mind or delicately (if humor isn't in mind)....perfect for a B-Flick genre game!

In Heat as in sexual heat? If so, don't know if that is appropriate.

I thought that was tame.  He didn't get all vulgar.

You do realize House Raith feeds on lust yes?  usually while in the act?

Don't have the game yet (plan on getting both books on pdf after payday) but as a Dresden Files fan and long time gamer I already have a sort of off-the-wall character concept.

A White Court Vampire that feeds on fear who nonetheless wants to be a good person and feed his hunger without hurting innocent people.  And who some might say has read too many comic books growing up.

Hence his solution, inspired after watching Batman Begins, of donning a black costume complete with cape (wearing kevlar underneath, since he's not completely impractical) and going out to fight crime.  He can get all the fear he needs off criminals since they're a "cowardly and superstitious lot," keeping himself well fed enough to avoid being hungry enough to risk losing control while protecting innocent people from those who would do them harm.  Win-win.

Now I can't help but see a wild west gunslinger standing over his corpse, smoking gun in hand and muttering "He knew too much...".

The concept is interesting, though. As a PC, the biggest problem would possibly be the chance of him turning into a real old one and start devouring the world or something. As an NPC, you could let him do exactly that, once the players kill his human form, getting a "Come on, this just isn't fair!" response, like Harry often enough has to say ;D

Love the idea non the less. Though the Old One idea is a little bit too tough for my taste.

Your right the NPC definatly needs the Aspect "Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine".

Just for fun, but does anyone have an idea for making the “Saint of Killers” from the Preacher series?

Fantastic or Epic Guns, some stunts, All Creatures Are Equal Before Death, IoP guns, catchless Physical Immunity. (Unfair, but then again it's meant to be that way.)

Dunno much beyond that. Intimidation, maybe?

Truth is, I never read very far into Preacher. If you give me a bit more to work with, I can write something up. Probably 21 base refresh (spending more than that) and 50 skill points with a cap of Fantastic. In A Submarine, in other words.

Isn't that a bit to powerful? Nearing Godlike by to close of a margin for my views.

The Saint of Killers in a (ridiculous) comic killed God. With guns.
