Cool. First thing you should do is design the Nightbane as if it were from the book, but you can double the amount of features available at least.

Nevermind, i dont want a nightbane just yet, i had been thinking for some time to make a techno wizard/red mage kinda thing.

another race besides human so im gonna get started on that, if you can post what i have class point wise, trainer wise, skill point wise for a starting character and i will do more, also how i determine attributes and what not cause im confused on it.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Well, the way I'm doing attributes now is ad hoc. Generally, assume that you have enough to have five attributes at VH Godlike and three attributes at L Forbidden 10/20. Then you can shift around. With that, for example, you can get all attributes at VL Forbidden with a bit to spare. However, you can go the Hack route and sacrifice things like Abilities, Class Points, etc. just for attribues, or conversely go the opposite route and have lower attributes for higher in X other area. I let people do tons of specialization.

Remember: Nightbane is just a racial component that would cost you a bit in Skill and Class Points. You can make a Nightbane TW/RM.

Ok so seeing as this is a spartan character who is also a nightbane i want him to have a high set of physical attributes strength and endurance being his highest.

but i dont know how to do the attributes still.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Well, you actually will need to draw up two sets of attributes. I think your Facade will be only Godlikes and Legendaries, while the Morphus will have higher attributes, mostly Godlikes and Forbiddens.

Basically, there are the following classes of attributes:

Crippled
Normal
Superhuman
Supernatural
Legendary
Godlike
Forbidden
Transgressive
Cosmic
Omnipotent

Legendary attributes allow you to do Legendary abilities derived only from those attributes, Forbidden allow you to do Forbiddens derived from those attributes, etc. The team is hovering around Godlike and Forbidden.

You then have to note that there are five sub-classes within each class of attribute: Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, Very High.

To move from VH Godlike to VL Forbidden is 20 Rank Boosts. To move from VL to L, L to M, M to H, and H to VH is also 20. To move from VH Forbidden to VL Transgressive is 100 Rank Boosts.

What does this mean for you? Well, it means that the highest attribute you should be having is VH Forbidden and the lowest attribute VH Supernatural. Between them, be reasonable.

snap...ok well ill have to work this out a bit i was figuring he would have like normal cotg stats and then bonuses as a nightbane to str and endurance.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

What we decided in MSN is to give him the Taklinn treatment: 50% abilities but much higher attributes. Now we had to decide the Unique Affinity.

Nightbane seem to me to actually arguably access three. Talents are arguably just Magic, but I think they could be considered more developed (especially given the proliferation of Talents like Anti-Arcane). The Dark seems to be one, whatever the unique power of the Nightbane is is another, and possibly a Mirror Affinity. I'll explain more in MSN.

ok cool ill be on tonight and we can talk more about what is gonna go down with the throw down of this character.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Excellent. But every post here you should be getting something done, usually.
