Pied Piper of Hamelin

[fredrik_nilsson]

I'm trying to create a NPC that draws some inspiration from the Pied Piper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin), but I'm not quite certain on how to model him in Hero System terms. Initially I had thoughts on creating him with "EC: Rat Control" with an OAF flute and a list of summons and mind controls, but I'm not certain that it's the best way to do it (due to the hassle of keeping track of all rats). Another idea was to just have the rat's being the SFX and just let the character get a few physical powers and a limited teke.

How would you do it?

Well, he should probably have AOE Mind Control vs Rats, Children and other Vermin even if he doesn't use it that often. :)

But I agree I would probably look at the overall effect of rats, maybe some small RKA's, TK, Extra PRE, Force Wall (Ablative).

I thought about writing up the powers in a MP (instead of an EC) to highlight the fact that the powers can't be used at the same time.
