Grimble Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Mexican Vampires Thanks pinecone! With a few tweaks, I will use this Mayan Vampire as one of the Vampire Lord's Lts. The Pre-Aztec Vampire Lord I will be using as the major villian will be powerful enough to threaten my entire PC supergroup. This will be VERY powerful. I have 8 450+ superheroes in the group plus 1 more that shows up sporatically. This makes for a really tough and powerful villian, but I do want a Doctor Doom/Darkseid type Supervillian. He will have many followers,bases and lots of NCI and wealth. Even so, He will have plenty of raw power. Ideas on some of this raw power I should build into a Pre-Aztec Vampire/sorcerer with goals of Godhood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Mexican Vampires Hmm, let me think back to "my" Mictlantecuhtli. As I recall he had formidable Mental Powers. The drugs that he fed his cultists gave them Vulnerabilities to Mictie's Mind Control and to his Presence Attacks, so he could master them completely and inspire large groups to fanatical frenzy. He was also skilled with illusory magics (Mental Illusions and Images), which he used to create "visions" out of Meso-American myth, to awe or terrify. Mictie had considerable power over darkness. He could create Darkness zones to blind and confuse his foes, and could blot out the sun over an area the size of a large city. Under Fifth Edition I'd run this as Change Environment to create -4 Sight Perception penalties, equivalent to night. This power also shielded himself and his lesser vampires from the effects of daylight. The Big M had formidable physical prowess, but he could augment that by draining the blood of living victims. I built this as a large BODY Transfer to several combat stats simultaneously (IIRC that included STR, DEX, CON, SPD, END and STUN). He could also Summon some of his minions, such as vampires and were-jaguars. For 5E I'd make them Slavishly Devoted. He carried several powerful enchanted items into battle: a round jaguar-skin shield, a vicious macahuitl (obsidian-edged club), and an atlatl that hurled "ghost darts" (NND Does Body).

What sort of damage ceiling is normal for you?......the plagues of Chibalba could easaly turn into a Honking big AE Drain with personal immunity... How do you plan to fight a team? DR? or "lots O' speed"? I think a "Blood draing damage sheild" would be fun...it pulls the blood right out of your pores if you get too close...as if he's a sanguin black hole! Mental powers are cool, but I avoid them because its not so much fun for the target,hard to feel all heroey if you're a drooling minion...

To answer a couple of your questions,pinecone. The biggest attack on the PC side is a 20d6 EB of "Sparks" (Think of the end of a sparkler when lit and multiply it by 1000 and shoot it in a stream out of your hands). She does have it with gestures (Arms pionted at target and wrists together, hands pointed out to each side). There is a PC with Telepathy and Mental Images, so I don't feel bad giving the Vamp Lord a few mental powers. Grimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinecone Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Mexican Vampires Wow! Nasty! I think I'm giong to use this one. Dang! Grimble Glad you like it...sounds like your heros are at the "gloves are off,brass nuckles are on" level of power....Damage sheilds are a nice "stealth" way for a single baddie to rock a super teams world. I usually use a villian team, but the "basics" are "Lots o' speed" (I hate this one)....Big damage reduction (I use this all the time, it works extra nice if the heros have a lot of damage variance, with DR the little attacks work about as good as the big ones)....and...Damage sheild....you might need to add in Pen if your heros like the special defences....

Grimble Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: Mexican Vampires I don't think I can use the Dark Aura. It would seriously impede Mictlan's dealings in the drug trade...I know he could just use proxies, now. In the beginning he would have had to build himself up as a Drug Lord. Keep in mind that he has 2 IDs. The business man/drug lord. And the Cult leader/God of the Dead. Grimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestnik Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Mexican Vampires Say Cortez was a vampire. Bring him back. I have a vague, likely false, recollection that the Incas (not Mexico, I know) killed a conquistador by making him drink molten gold. I think one could work with that idea.
