Bones - Gargoyle Shaman/Necromancer

[Ndreare]

TRUE GARGOYLE (Lyn-Sriel copy and paste)

True Gargoyle
From a separate dimension of the more traditional Gargoyles known and found on rifts earth. True Gargoyles are a race of stone guardians ancient in nature. Unlike their demonic counter parts their nature is that of protectors and guardians. Much like in hounds from the day of their birth the instinct is to protect the clan is strong enough to even risk their own lives.

• Cyber Resistant: As a creature of living stone gargoyles can’t take cybernetics of any kind. The implants will simply be rejected.
  Distinctive D-Bee: As a creature of living stone gargoyles −4 Charisma with CS citizens.
  Flight: As a creature of living stone gargoyles fly at Pace +6" (usually 12").
  Four Arms: Many breeds of gargoyles have additional tails, arms or even tentacles. The additional appendages grant an additional non-movement action each round at no multi-action penalty.
  Hunted by the Coalition: Do to their monstrous nature gargoyles are considered sub demons and have the Wanted (Major) Hindrance with the CS.
  Inherent Nature: Gargoyles are designed to protect, as such all gargoyles must take a Code of Honor and count as supernatural good beings.
  Low Light Vision: As creatures of the night Gargoyles ignore penalties for Dim and Dark lighting.
  Non-Standard Physiology: Armor purchase/repair is double cost. Can’t use a Glitter Boy suit or other standard humanoid power armor. Suffer a −2 to operate a vehicle or its weapons not refitted for the race. Iconic Framework gear is custom-built.
  Poor Ground Speed: Their additional limbs and and wings inhibit their travel speed on land. Gargoyles have −2 Pace when moving on the ground and only a d4 running die.
  Regeneration: Gargoyles regenerate when resting and may make natural healing rolls once a day, potentially even regenerating lost limbs. If a gargoyle gains a permanent injury, it makes a Vigor roll after recovering from Incapacitation. On success, the injury heals after 1d6 days.
  Strong: Gargoyles natural connection to the earth makes them strong as stone. They start with d6 Strength.

ICONIC HINDRANCES

• Arcane Duality: The two arcane backgrounds are completely separate with respect to edges.
  Cybernetics: Any cybernetics interfere with arcane abilities.
  Enemies: Mystics are equally illegal and reviled in the Coalition and the True Federation of Magic.
  Higher Standard: TBD with Dan

ICONIC EDGES

• Arcane Background (Miracles): Mystics begin with four starting powers, and 15 PPE. They also have the Mysticism skill at d8.
  Arcane Background (Psionics): As a minor psionic, a Mystic begins with three powers (from restricted list) and 10 ISP. He also has a beginning Psionics skill of d6.
  Cosmic Confluence: Not only do Mystics enjoy the unique capacity to possess two Arcane Backgrounds, they are able to interchange their I SP and PPE as needed. A Mystic can sacrifice two ISP to use as one PPE, and vice versa. Power Points shifted like this must be used at the moment they are exchanged, they cannot be shifted and then simply stored. For example, if a Mystic shifts 4 PPE in order to gain 2 ISP, he must immediately use those points of ISP to enact a psionic power.
  Master of Magic: Mystics have the Master of Magic Edge, gaining Mega Powers for all their known powers. They also have the Rapid Recharge Edge, though it only applies to their PPE recovery (not ISP).
  Mystic Awareness: Mystics have powerful extrasensory perception and attunement, granting them the Alertness and Danger Sense Edges, as well as the use of detect arcana at will, costing no PPE or ISP, as a free action. They can also sense powerful supernatural beings with a Notice check, anywhere within line of sight.
  Spiritual Channel: Constantly in contact with spirits, and possibly divine messengers of his faith, a Mystic can use the divination power without using ISP or PPE. Each time he uses it, he must make a Vigor roll to resist gaining a level of Fatigue. Each subsequent use of the power imposes a cumulative −1 penalty on the Vigor check until he gets a full night’s rest (eight hours). It is possible for a Mystic to Incapacitate himself with this ability. Fatigue levels gained from Spiritual Channel can only be recovered with eight hours of rest (succor cannot restore). Mystics have access to communion but activate it normally with 10 PPE.

@Drust & Black Company

Please review the following. I am not looking or caring about site wide approval. Only approval for this particular character as an earth warlock shaman type, so I did not post in house rules.

Earth Elemental
(Retrapped Zombie cut and paste from Savage Spellbook page 19)
Rank: Veteran
Power Points: 4/elemental
Range: Smarts
Duration: Special
The spellcaster summons a minor earth elemental, which arrives at the beginning of his next turn. It is Shaken when it appears, but may immediately make a Spirit roll to recover. This spell may only be cast when there is plenty of earth or rock nearby, and the elemental remains for 1 hour on a success, d6 hours on a raise, and 24 hours with two or more raises.

Minor Earth Elemental
An humanoid figure of rock and earth.
Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d4, Spirit d6, Strength d10, Vigor d8
Skills: Fighting d6, Notice d4
Pace: 4; Parry: 5; Toughness: 8 (2)
Special Abilities
• Bash: Str+d6.
• Armour +2: Rocky skin.
• Elemental: Fearless; called shots do no extra damage; immune to poison/disease.
• Burrow (10”): Move through the earth.
Design note: The elemental is on-par with an armed and armoured zombie (tested with my combat simulator), and is easier to summon as you only need earth or rock rather than a corpse. To compensate, the PP cost has been increased by +1, it doesn't appear until the following turn, and it's Shaken when it first arrives (meaning it'll usually be a few rounds before it can start attacking your enemies).

Elementalist are steeped in the nature and elemental magic.

Second, when casting Earth Elemental, the Elementalist reduces the Power Point cost to 3/elemental. Additionally, he may double the cost per elemental to increase the Duration to 2d6 hours with a success, 2d6 days with a raise, or permanent with two raises.
A Elementalist may never have more than twice his Spirit die in permanent Servants.

Necromancer
Requirements: Novice, Arcane Background
(Magic or Miracles), Spirit d8+, arcane skill
d8+
Necromancers are steeped in the lore and rituals of death. They are particularly adept at raising the dead and forcing them to serve their foul requests. While most heroes should avoid such vile sorcery, few can deny its efficiency.
The benefits of the Necromancer Edge are two-fold. First, the Necromancer may cast the zombie power at Novice level (rather than its normal Veteran Rank requirement).
Second, when casting zombie, the Necromancer reduces the Power Point cost to 2/corpse. Additionally, he may double the cost per corpse to increase the Duration to 2d6 hours with a success, 2d6 days with a raise, or permanent with two raises.
A Necromancer may never have more than twice his Spirit die in permanent undead Servants.

Master Necromancer
Requirements: Veteran, Necromancer
Zombies raised by the Necromancer now have an extra die in Strength and one skill of his choice (usually Fighting).

Talisman Craftsman
Requirements: Novice, Smarts d8+, Spirit d8+, Arcane Background (Magic or Miracles), Knowledge (Occult) d8+, arcane skill d8+
This is a magical version of the Gadgeteer Edge. Once per game session, a character with the Talisman Edge can create a magic device and imbue it with arcane energy. The device uses any power available to a magician or miracle worker in that setting (though this is still subject to Rank restrictions). It has half the creator’s Power Points. Once these are used up, they do not recharge.
The ritual to imbue the object takes d20 minutes. Activating the device requires a Smarts (magic) or Spirit (miracles) roll.
