dweller's Depths - Torus Reloaded (Rys, Katar)

[dwellerofthedeep]

These are some good ideas, Arthur. I really hadn't thought about the fighting issue, so its a suggestion that I'll go with most likely. I didn't review the points on senses, so I'll revise that right away. Thanks!

EDIT
Ah, all fixes done. The Multiattack one in particular is very sensible, and you're definitely right about the lack of need for such huge extension on sight (I didn't realize how absurd that got).

Still working out some of my kinks in switching editions I guess.

Stay tuned for another two waves of heroes.

Then we can get to the fight.

[MorningKnight]

Still making some fine monsters, angels and heros, Dweller!

[dwellerofthedeep]

Thanks MK! I hope time's been treating you well.

[dwellerofthedeep]

I'm bumping this in preparation for the next two waves. Finals were powerful-busy.

Description: Dressed in fine clothing, but also always wearing a snarl of frustration, the leader of the Naje delegation was chosen or his generalship rather than his diplomatic skills.

Meta-Notes: Okay, so real quick here, Keved is an excellent all-around close-range fighter and can pretty easily wear down minions with his Blade Bane. Nothing really fancy here, but a tough guy to defend the Serabin.

Age: 541
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 200lbs
Gii Ratio: 24:77

Power Level: 11 (190pp)
(General Trades: -1 attack, +1 damage, -1 defense, +1 toughness)

Advantages (7pp)
Diehard, Power Attack, Accurate Attack, Ritualist, Improved Initiative, Improved Disarm, Fast Grab

Powers (60pp)

Yare-Vendalla (Removable -1) (4pp)
Enhanced Dodge 3 - Yare
Enhanced Advantages 2: Improved Defense, Improved Disarm
-A strong and tough scarf used to snag attacks, the Yare-Vendalla is fully capable of deflecting even the mightiest of attacks and remains hidden, wrapped around Morvanger’s neck, most of the time.

Nualite Elder Power Suite (25pp)
Morph +3 (Any Creature, Phantasms, Metamorph 1) – Veils
-AP: Illusion +10 (Visual, Phantasms) – Extended Veils
Forcefield +4 (Impervious) – Maldividus
Additional Limbs 3 (5x Tentacles) – Rymen Star Mark
Elongation 2 (Added Limbs Only)
Immunity 1 (1/2 Aging and Poison)
-As an elder Nualito, Morvanger has been reborn three times. With each successive rebirth his veils have grown stronger and his Maldividus tougher. He has also gained the mutation of his star mark, the tentacles of the Rymen.

Nualite Wizard – Zendil Power Suite (18pp)
Enhanced Strength +5 (Dynamic) – Zendil Force Boost
-DAP: Flight 5 – Zendil Force Warp
-DAP: Leaping 10 – Zendil Force Pinch
-DAP: Features 10 (Immovable) – Zendil Force Bracing
-AP: Damage +6 (Elongation 4 (Weapon Only), Improved Grab, Improved Pin) – Zendil Force Lash
-The Zendil Arts are those of the force and energy manipulation. They allow those who wield them to perform incredible physical feats and destroy their enemies. Morvanger is not particularly skilled with the Zendil and his powers are not as destructive as many other elders’.

Nualite Wizard – Alsha Power Suite (31pp)
Senses 3 (Dimensional Sight which Counters Invisibility, Life Sense 1)
Movement 2 (Dimensional Movement 1 (Blight Realm Only), Water Walking)
Affliction +11 (Flaw: Two Saves (Fortitude, Will), Range: Perception) – Alsha Transference
Communication +4 (Flaw: Emotional Transferences Only) – Alsha Transperception
-The Alsha Arts comprise most of the natural and learnable powers known to the Nualites. Morvanger is a strong emotive telepath, but his powers are not without weaknesses. The nature of Alsha transference is notably, a partially physical effect, and thus, it can be resisted by the tougher of foes.

Alsha Transference 1st, 2nd, 3rd stages of Affliction: Afraid, Compelled, Unaware

Complications
Responsibility - Younger Generation Nualites
Addiction - Rymen Smoke

Meta-Notes: 3rd Edition Morvanger from the Phoenix Foundation Setting isn’t a whole lot different from 2nd edition. Overall I like the change, mainly in the making of his Alsha Transference more powerful and in the cutting of costs (He’s 35 points cheaper in total, and the same PL). The River Living Veil is his Metamorph Form, and I’ll be putting that up shortly.

(Affliction Fails (1st, 2nd, 3rd): Afraid, Compelled, Controlled)

Meta-Notes: The river is Morvanger’s Metamorph form, a Living Veil into which he can transform. In some versions Morvanger has difficulty controlling this form, so it can result in some good accident complications for him.

[Woodclaw]

That's creepy as hell, good job.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Why thank you. I rather like making disturbing character. Of course, usually they're not the main character of the setting...

[Thorpacolypse]

I love it when the Dweller rises from the deep to bless us with great original builds. Nice, uh, well not "nice" but a very cool build there, sir.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Thanks Thorp. Heh, I get what you mean about Morvanger/The River even if he is a heroic character.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Name: Aadra Dejaus - Artificer of Toare (War of the Spirits)
Age: 19
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 105lbs
Affiliations: Imperial Toare, Lawkeepers
Description: Petite and pretty, Aadra hardly appears as the hard-line lawkeeper which she is trying to become.

Background: A prodigy in the lawkeeper’s academy and in the crafts of artifice. She lived a privileged life as a member of the nobility. Both her parents were high-ranking officers in the Imperial military.

Power Level: 8 (135pp)

Ability Scores (56pp)
Strength: 0 Stamina: 3 Agility: 5 Dexterity: 6 Fighting: 10 Intellect: 3 Awareness: 2 Presence: 1

-AE: Affliction +6 (Ranged, Save: Will (Dazed, Compelled, Controlled) - White Rose

String Field (20pp)
Flight 4 - String Dance
Telekinesis +6 - String Pull

Complications
Responsibility - The Law of Toare
Prejudice - Toare Lawkeeper (Represents pinnacle of Toare’s Imperialism)

Meta-Notes: She is one of the fastest characters defending the Serabin, but she is a bit of a blaster too. Of course, she can also do some damage up close too with her Black Thorn, but as a lighter damager, she is a bit limited in that regard.

[Arthur Eld]

That's a cool build for Aadra, Dweller. I like the idea of this pretty young woman also being a really quick badass who's sworn to uphold the law.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Thanks Eld!
