Shadowsoul Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Amongst the many strange stories collected in the Book of the Vampire by Nigel Suckling, (yes that it is his real name), is the tale of the Charan tribe of Gujarat in NW India. The Charan used to protect themselves from bandits through the threat of revenge from beyond the grave. If troubled by robbers they would descend upon the cuplrits and behead some of their own elders or set fire to themselves and curse their attackers while they burnt to death. This awful rite tapped into the widespread fear of restless ghosts and particularly the angry spirits of suicides. Unsurprisingly the Charan were rarely bothered. Now this is not a good power for a PC to have, (malevolent ghosts can't carry a lot of loot after all), but would be an interesting and frightening ability for them to fall foul of. So, how would you build this power? I'm thinking of a Transform self, (soul), into a Vengeful Spirit with the Expendable IIF 'Own Body'. Alternatively you could just Transform the target/s into characters with levels of Unluck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
