For-Certain Character Types
« on: July 15, 2008, 03:35:26 PM »
This list is a little light on the faeriekind, but that's mainly because this is the list of "definitely-yes" player character types, and the faeries live on the "maybe-yes" list:

Pure Mortal
Champion of God
Changeling
Emissary of Power
Focused Practitioner
Knight of a Faerie Court (* Might be a maybe, depending on what all's entailed here)
Lycanthrope
Minor Talent
Red Court Infected
Sorcerer
True Believer
Were-Form
White Court Vampire
White Court Virgin
Wizard

I'm pretty happy with that list. Toss on low end faeries (I'm not talking Toot Toot here) and I'll be completely satisfied.

Yeah, pixies are an edge case. Entirely buildable, though.

I don't think any of my players would want to play a pixie, but it'll be nice to be able to build them as NPCs if I should want to.

I have a gaming group which is excited about FATE. They like Dresden Files, by and large. I've got the in a nutshell version of my first storyline. You guys NEED to put this game out, man. NEED.

Summer and Winter Knights would be an example (that, granted, we've split out into its own template).  But think more broadly, with more patrons out there than just the Courts of Faerie.

My son says he wants to play a Lawn Gnome, Iago.  That would be low end fae, ala Toot-Toot, right?   (his quote:  I mow Morgan's grass.)

I want to be able to play a Loup-Garou who can transform at will and retain his human consciousness!  Oh, and it would be cool if he could also set stuff on fire by looking at it.




Seriously, though, the list looks good.

Indeed.

There are lots of things that live in the Nevernever. Old gods might be an interesting start.
