So in the semi-tradition of floating around weird PC ideas, here I go again.
This time it is a Focused Practitioner. The idea is that of a Kinetomancer who is an Assassin for hire. He kills people by using kinetic bullets, and uses a sniper scope as his Foci Item, and only the sniper scope, no rifle attached, which allows him to enter areas that usually would be inaccessible for a normal assassin with a traditional gun.
So of course he is breaking the First Law, but the method he uses makes it appear as if he is actually shooting people with normal guns, the only mystery being how he manages to make the bullet disappear. This makes him a highly sought after assassin for hire (no bullet, no real evidence for a court conviction), but he also has to be careful when interacting with anyone from the White Council, should they ever put one and one together the Wardens will be after him.
He is only mostly aware of the supernatural community (no high Lore), just enough to move around it and avoid the Wardens.
His Kinetomancy is highly specialized, limited to kinetic bullets he uses for assassination (channeling), a limited version of phosphoromancy that allows him to bend shadows to help him hide (Cloak of Shadows), and a general lightness and extra kinetic energy to his movements (inhuman speed).
Enough general chitchat time for the build itself. Level Submerged:
Powers:
- Lawbreaker (1st Law) -2 (he makes a living killing people)
- Channeling (Spirit/Kinetomancy) -2
- Cloak of Shadows -1
- Inhuman speed -2
Adjusted Refinement: +3
Skills:
+5 Discipline, Conviction - for his kinetic attacks
+4 Deceit, Stealth - High Deceit to bluff any Wardens/Wizards he meets
+3 Burglary, Presence- Presence at +3 to give him 4 hitboxes in Social Combat should some Warden interrogate him
+2 Contacts, Resources
+1 Lore, Investigation - 1 Lore for his Rote Spell Kinetic Bullet
Focus Item
- Optical Sniper Scope
+1 Conviction Offensive Spirit, +1 Discipline Offensive Spirit
So when using his Scope with his Rote Spell to kill people, he pulls of an 8 shift attack, always.
I'm thinking of adding maybe some Stunt to make his targeting better when using the Kinetic Bullet+Scope. Maybe substituting his Sniper Scope for Glasses, to be even less conspicuous? Then he would be killing people just by putting on a pair of glasses and looking at them?
Maybe something like:
- In my Sight
When using your Rote Spell, the amount of shift you gather for the Attack also count as you discipline role for targeting.
