Hindrances

• Code of Honor (Major): Honor is very important to your character. He keeps his word, doesn’t abuse or kill prisoners, and generally tries to operate within his world’s particular notion of proper gentlemanly or ladylike behavior.
• Driven (Major): Driven characters want something for themselves. <Character>’s drive is to eradicate evil. As a Major Hindrance it’s an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the heroine and those around her.
• Heroic: Sea Titans have the strong impulse to always help those in need.
• Loyal (Minor): This stalwart defender risks her life for her friends without hesitation. Some Loyal heroes may not act that way, but are the first to come to their friends’ rescue when they’re threatened.
• Overconfident: Sea Titans often believe they can do anything, endangering themselves and others.
• Pacifist (Minor): Your hero absolutely despises violence. Minor pacifism means he only fights when given no other choice and never allows the killing of prisoners or other defenseless victims.
• Wanted (Major): Besides being hunted by all evil, if they ever learn the truth many powerful groups would perform grueling medical experiments and research on a captured Sea Titan. The Coalition, Splugorth, Gene Splicers, and Mindwerks would be especially interested.

Racial Abilities

• Doesn’t Breathe: Sea Titans don't breathe, can’t drown, and don’t suffocate in a vacuum. They can survive ocean depths of up to a mile unaided.
• Immune to Poison and Disease: Sea Titans are effectively immortal. They can't take the Elderly or Young Hindrances and are immune to all Diseases and Poisons.
• Regeneration: Make a natural healing roll daily to recover Wounds, or weekly for Injuries once all Wounds are healed.
• Salty Side of Fate: Sea Titans start with one less Benny per session.
• Supernatural Beacon: Sea Titans radiate supernatural good as if they were a beacon, all arcane sensitives are +2 to Notice this emanation. This makes them the mortal enemy of all varieties of evil.
• Weakness (Supernatural & Unholy):: Attacks dealing bonus damage to supernatural or good/holy targets deal +4 damage to Sea Titans. Powers and abilities effecting such targets also affect them.

Edges and Iconic Abilities

• AB (Psionics): d6 Psionics, Major Psionic, 20 ISP, divination, mind reading, and smite*
• Adepts practice a tradition which hones body, mind, and spirit into a single weapon; examples from Earth’s history include the mystical monks of Shaolin and the internal alchemists of Wudang; on Rifts Earth the Psi-Warriors follow this path.
  Upon taking this Edge, for each of his current Ranks and at each new Rank, the adept may choose one known power to also become activatable as an Innate Ability with the Range (self) limitation. The adept must already have the power to begin with—chosen normally from his power list. The following powers may be upgraded to Innate Abilities this way: arcane protection, boost Trait, deflection, healing, protection, smite, speed, and warrior's gift. All other aspects of the character's Arcane Background and powers remain the same.
  : Upon taking this Edge, for each of his current Ranks and at each new Rank (boost trait, smite, warrior's gift), the adept may choose one known power to also become activatable as an
  Many powerful beings of the Megaverse® are able to activate innate powers. Unless specified otherwise, the first such power initiated each turn activates as a free action. Innate Abilities may be activated using Power Modifiers, paying Power Points as normal.
  with the Range (self) limitation.
• Arcane Resistance: Arcane skills targeting the hero suffer a −4 penalty (even if cast by allies!) and magical damage is reduced by 4 as well.
• Brave: Brave heroes add +4 to Fear checks and subtract 4 from Fear Table results
• Champion: Champions fight the forces of darkness (or good), adding +4 damage when attacking supernaturally evil (or good if they’re evil) creatures. The bonus applies to area effect damage, ranged attacks, powers, etc.
• Charismatic: Free reroll when using Persuasion.
• Fearless Paragons: For each Rank after Novice, the bonuses from Arcane Resistance, Brave and Champion each increase by +1.
• Frenzy, Improved: Roll a second Fighting die with two melee attacks per turn.
• Iron Jaw: +2 to Soak and Vigor rolls to avoid Knockout Blows.
• Master Psionic: Master Psionics double the ISP gained from the Arcane Background (Psionics) and Power Points Edges.
  Before attempting a Psionics skill roll, Master Psionics may spend 2 ISP to gain +1 to the roll, or 4 ISP for +2.
  Master Psionics gain access to the Mega Power Modifiers for all known psionics powers. Those with mind link may take mind reading. They also add elemental manipulation to their power list applying either an ectoplasm (equivalent to earth), electrokinetic (air), hydrokinetic (water), or pyrokinetic (fire) Trapping to the power. Master Psionics may either apply the chosen Trapping to their powers or the standard telekinetic force Trapping.
• New Powers: Boost Trait, Warrior’s Gift
• Power Points (2): +10 ISP x 2 (Major Psionic) = +20 ISP
• Psi-Blade: The psi simply activates her smite power, summoning the Psi-Blade instead of putting the power on another weapon. The smite bonus adds directly to the Psi-Blade’s base damage. The psi-blade is a Mega Damage melee weapon dealing Strength + Smarts damage, with AP equal to Psionics × 2.
• Sense Supernatural Evil: Similar to a Psi-Stalker, Inquisitors may use Notice to detect the presence and location of supernatural beings or items, and with a raise know if it's evil or not. They can track beings and items using the Survival skill.
• Shield of Inner Spirit: By expending 3 ISP as a free action the Sea Inquisitor can summon a mystical shield granting herself a bonus to Toughness equal to her Spirit for five rounds, after which it may be maintained for 1 ISP per additional round.
• Strong Willed: +2 to resist Smarts or Spirit-based Tests.

Background

Escanor 2.jpg (66.24 KiB) Viewed 1486 times

Escanor lived amongst his brethern in arms, some family but most adopted, in the New Navy. Then he left suddenly the day he felt the call of the Deep. Once he freed his mind, he returned to his family a changed man.

He could call forth a psi-axe forged from pure will and burning with pyrokinetic plasma. Escanor could strength his mind and body, and he could shrug off blows that could even kill a Titan. Most of all, however, he wasn't satisfied with only helping those in need. He was driven to confront and destroy evil.

No longer content to wait for orders to follow, Escanor left his family once more. He set off on his own journey to find the things that go bump in the night. When he finds them, they die.

Talisman of Marduk (Patron Item) (SWADE)

These unassuming talismans look like pieces of ancient currency made into jewelry. The trick to them is that embedded in the core of these ancient bronze coins are a chip of stone. This stone chip is from the mythical Tablet of Destiny, gifted to the high priests of Marduk in the times of Babylon. These talismans have been passed down from high priests to high priest, eventually coming into the hands of great leaders over the centuries. Anyone who comes into contact with one of these talismans is likely destined to become a great leader.
Powers
Godly Health: Even with the merest fraction of power from the Tablets of Destiny the talisman enhances the health of it's wearer.
• Gain +1 to Toughness and the Iron Jaw edge. If the hero has this edge, instead increase it's bonus by 1.
Magical Resistance: The Talisman protects it's wearer from harmful magical effects.
• The wearer acts as if he had 1 points of Armor when hit by damage-causing arcane powers, and adds +1 to his Trait rolls when resisting opposed powers. Even friendly arcane powers must subtract this modifier to affect the resistant hero. This stacks with Arcane Resistance, Arcane Protection, and other such abilities.
Voice of Kings: The wearer is able to speak any language even if only for a brief while.
• The character gets the use of the Linguist edge.
Sight of Destiny: The wearer is able to peer into the depths of time and space to view events as they happen.
• The wearer gains the Object Read power while using this talisman. The medallion has a base of 10 P.P.E. and regains 1 PPE per hour. They do not gain access to Mega Modifiers.
