pruttm Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Absolutely, they can even work with non-Catholics that get paid by CROSS as consultants. That's not saying that a situation of conflict couldn't happen causing strain between faiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pruttm Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It would depend on how superpowers are done in the world you add CROSS into. I think in the CU, CROSS would be relatively tolerate of supers and would also have some supers of their own. In a grittier, Dark Champions setting they may be more suspicious of supers and will be very careful with whom they align with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruttm Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Lately, I have been wondering if anyone has any ideas for how saints (think Deities in Fantasy) could interact with the world more than just being the source of a character's power.

kahuna's bro Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 What CROSS doesn't stand for is using infernal/occult tools to solve CROSS issues. would this include super-powerdagent/allies would super-beings be seen as satanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruttm Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yes in a superhero world you could have super-power agents and allies. Super beings would be seen as Satanic if there was proof or cause to believe they were Infernal. For superhero worlds there is a division of CROSS specifically for supers, but small latent abilities could be part of an agent elsewhere in the organization. That said, most of CROSS are normals. The Superhero angle is there to use if you choose to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruttm Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 So, I have a question about Artifacts and Relics. Which would you prefer? 1) A simple list artifacts 2) A list of artifacts each with a description/history 3) A list of artifacts, a description/history and a suggested write-up.

Doctor Agenda Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 How does the exorcist actually remove the demon from the victim? Are the demons built with a phys lim that causes the possessing spirit to vacate its host if it, say, fails three EGO combat rolls against the exorcist, perhaps with the exorcist getting to make a complementary Demonology roll to boost his or her ECV? Maybe one attempt at exorcism per hour, the demon wins if it succeeds three times before the exorcist does? That could all be covered in a 'subject to exorcism' phys lim, with the value depending on how hard it is to perform the exorcism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruttm Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Currently I am just using the APG's Possession power for the demon and the exorcist uses Mind Control as a competing mental power to attempt to order the demon out. The Mind Control is written as cumulative so that over time it should grow strong enough to break the possessor's grip. Multiple exorcists could work together to break the demon's grip as well. One thing to keep in mind for CROSS is that this is an action-packed spy setting where the exorcists need to keep up with the other character types. Due to this, Exorcists in this setting are at the top of their game. Christ grants them their exorcism power at high levels and in some cases they will be able to cast a low end demon out with nothing more than a glance. However, there are much more powerful possessors out there to make it a much more difficult and somewhat time consuming process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
