Markdoc Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: Campaign Idea - Suggestions Gratefully Welcome Some of my favourite repeating villians. A character with mind control, mind link and a mass of skills bought "usable by others" (special effect is that's she's "inside the victim's head" so he/she can use the knowledge). This person's shtick is to find some dupe, seduce him, get him to agree to the mindlink and then whammo! He becomes an instant martial arts master. If he has any powers or such himself, so much the better. As a vanity thing, her dupes always wear variations on the same outfit, so it looks like the same person (at least until the costume's off), and they have the same distinctive skills so it fights like the same person, but put them away and another one pops up. I don't think the players ever figured this one out: they thought they were up against some big martial arts conspiracy group, when it was actualy only one person. The other one uses a simple mindcontrol and a transform - into a person that looks like him. Same deal, but sort of in reverse: it looks like the bad guy and it acts like the bad guy, but the powers/skills are different each time. The players did figure out the basic mechanism here and even how to rescue his victims, but they never did get the bad guy. Finally, there was a necromancer who destroyed the minds of his victims (so they had very low EGO, natch) and then kept the zombie-like things around. He could pop his spirit into any of these and take action - if one got trashed, he'd just hop to another. "You can kill this body, but I will simply take another, and another. Eventualy you must tire and then will be - the time of the reaper!" (bonus points if you can work out who this is a rip-off of) The mechanism was that he was permanently desolid (he was dead, after all!) and could go invisible when possessing someone, with a largish mind control (affects normal world) and a few limitations tagged on for flavour. Basically, a wandering Mind Control with a bad attitude. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
