Proposed Race - Monokeri

Post by Sula »

Monokeri

Description: Unicorn People - They are generally human in appearance with a large pearlescent horn on their heads, a goat-like tail, light fur covering their skin and legs going down into hooves which are also pearlescent in color. The hair and fur tend to come in the same varieties as can be found in typical horses and manes.

Race Description: The Monokeri are generally a peaceful race that quickly learned to avoid or fight the Simvan, who hunt them for food who find their flesh particularly tasty. They have the innate ability to purify poisons from their environment. They have never truly gotten the hang of technology preferring more natural or spiritual ways of doing things.
  • Racial Abilities and Complications
  • All Thumbs: Monokeri are not very good with technology. They receive a -2 to the Repair skill and 1 on the skill die causes the device to malfunction. (-1)
  • Cyber Resistant: Monokeri cannot take any Iconic Framework that includes cybernetics as an inherent ability (including the bio-comp system needed to be a Juicer), nor may they roll on the Cybernetics benefts table. (-1)
  • Distinctive D-Bee: With their nonhuman appearance and inherent miracular ability, Monokeri face prejudice from the Coalition. They suffer -4 Charisma when dealing with CS citizen. (-2)
  • Fast: Horse legs grant a Pace +2. (+1)
  • Natural Weapons: Monokeri do Str+d6 (AP 2) damage with their horn. (+2)
  • Non-Standard Physiology: The unique physiology of a Monokeran makes it difficult for him to find armor he can use. Purchases and repairs are at least doubled in cost, and there’s no way he can manage a Glitter Boy suit or other power armor built for a typical humanoid frame. (-1)
  • Purification: Monokeri start with the Arcane Background (Miracles) Edge. Environmental Manipulation must be one of their first chosen powers. They start with 15 PPE instead of 10. If a Monokeran chooses an Iconic Framework providing Arcane Background (Miracles), he follows all the normal rules for the Framework except he gains Environmental Manipulation as a bonus power and gains +5 PPE in addition to what the Framework normally provides. This also makes them immune to poison and disease. (+5, Racial Edge, Extra PPE and Immune to Disease/Poison)
  • Racial Enemy: Simvan have hunted the Monokeri for years. Meetings between the species
    start argumentative and get worse. Monokeri suffer -4 Charisma with Simvan. (-1)

Purification should be listed as costing +3 points.
But the race looks good. Great job for a first build on the site.

PS: it may be that I am tired, but this rave looks like 0 points, and most races are 2 points.
That is done bonus goodness you can add.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Correct, AB 2, Immunities 2, PPE 1. The immunities were placed as part of it because they're pretty much a function of the innate elemental purification power.
