  3. CROSS: Secret Agents of the Vatican Source Book

    in Champions

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    Well, no big update this time, but here is what I am working on:

     

    1) Finished a draft of the chargen section of the book and shipped it off to my new player

    2) Two CROSS playtest sessions scheduled

    3) CROSS NPC page on blessedmachine.com in production

    4) Pulling in notes from all over and trying to get into a single document

    Garycon Results

    Things went very well on the two CROSS sessions at Garycon. The players really got the setting I was trying to make and really pushed the scenes to play up both the spy angle and the Catholic angle that is so much a part of what I have been trying to build with CROSS. That said, I saw some holes in the setting that I will be trying to fix over the next several weeks. In general, though, I feel that I can now solidly write the Character Creation side of the CROSS source book so that will begin in earnest. Wish me luck! And a big thank you to any of my Garycon players that may be watching this space. Thanks so much!
