Anyone got a writeup for Mallace of the Marauders?

[McCoy]

My players will be running into the Marauders soon. But I have never had an adequate write-up for Mallace (permenently desolid, can possess others).

Please don't say "Use the spirit rules," I do not have Fantasy Hero nor can I afford it just now.

Thanking everyone in advance.

My players will be running into the Marauders soon. But I have never had an adequate write-up for Mallace (permenently desolid, can possess others).

The USPD has a bodyjacking power, and one of the source books (Millenium City?) has a writeup for PSI. One of the characters there has a bodyjacking power.

But, basically just desolid and a damned expensive mind control with a bunch of limitations.

Here is how I built Malice. Note that I only pointed out the Malice entity. I did not do the Malice/Polaris combined personality. If I did that, I would probably just go with Polaris (a generic magnetic power user).

Thank you both! The bodyjacking power was just what I needed, but somehow had overlooked it in USPD.

Great writeup Vex, players will be going aginst your creation tonight.

You can also use Bodyjacker, of PSI. He's in the Millennium City sourcebook.

[Vex]

Glad to hear that it helped. I did use the USPD version as the basis, with a few changes to make it a bit more like the source material. Let me know how the character worked, I haven't had a chance to spring her on my group yet, but I will eventually!
