Mark Rand Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Witchblade, for those of you who don't know, is a Top Cow comic book, about a female NYPD detective and the self-aware, mystical gauntlet that has bonded to her. It was also the name of a television program, that lasted for two seasons, dealing with the same characters. How do we write the witchblade itself up?

Jhamin Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Although I was aware of the charcter, I never read the comics or watched the show. What could she do with the Witchblade? And what limits did she have with it? Once we know these we can work from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Since I've read only one issue of the comic book, I'll tell you what I remember from the television show. In its passive form, the Witchblade is a metal bracelet with three reddish stones. Its usual active form is a plate armor gauntlet that covers her right arm and the back of her right hand. It has, however, become a full suit of plate armor. Sara, the wielder in the comics and the television program, has been able to see the past of a room by looking into a mirror, see and hear her dead partner, and see herself in full plate armor just before she is attacked. The witchblade has formed itself into a sword that appears on the back of her hand and she has deflected bullets with the blade or gauntlet by moving her hand. In the pilot, it has produced fire and once she turned back time. (This power can be used once by each wielder.) She has also had dreams of past wielders.

As I reread this post from last year, I'm beginning to think a 30 or 40 point VPP would be the best way to create this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just what I'm looking for. The lady that weilds the blade will, I think, be a police detective in San Angelo, where the campaign's set. I'll take her write up from Dark Champions.
