Geist the Sin Eaters: Full ... sort of

Another question, the plasmic claws the third dot in primeval shroud allows you to manifest. Do you use brawl to use those in a fight or weaponry? I'm trying to figure out if I can combine fighting finesse with those claws for dex based character.

Also, here is my Aristocratic oracle character so far.

Mitzka

I spent my remaining 4 merits on Resources and spent 18 Ex in the following way.

Luxury 4EX
Striking looks 4EX
Death-Touched 10EX

I'm assuming these are all static skills as they have multi-dot investments. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have 7EX left over on this character that I'm not sure on what to spend it on so I may save it for later.

Its brawl based and you can't use fighting finesse with it. There is also a standing rule that anything that does Aggravated damage can't use a fighting style, but lethal can.

As for the extra xp, you could up luxury or striking looks up to the higher version for 4 xp.

What exactly does luxury net the character? And what is the difference between 2 and 4 dots in it? I took it because I felt like it fit the character but I'm not exactly sure how it is different from resource. I'm considering dropping it to pick up the Phantasmal key.

Its just different amounts of money basically. The only real difference between resources and luxury is that luxury isn't using your own money, and thus it can only be used on you.

Striking Looks would serve you better. It goes from a +1 to a +2 on mundane social rolls when your appearance is a factor.

Ok, I have finished both character concepts. I can go with either depending on what the party feels we need more.

First is Mitzka Araethos, Aristocratic daughter of an evil business tycoon that was murdered with the rest of her family in a violent labor dispute. She is college educated and a talented violinist. After coming back from the dead, she was able to lay claim to an enormous trust fund left for her by her parents and uses her newfound ability to help guide the dead to the afterlife.

Converted 3 merit points to Psyche
Spent EX as such
Luxury, 4EX
Striking looks, 8EX
Death-Touched, 10EX
Empathy 1 dot, 3EX


Second is Kira Threniten, an orphan and young outdoor survival enthusiast. Kira never cared much for people until she fell in love too deeply with a young boy named Dresden. Unfortunately, in attempt to drive away a rival love interest, she inadvertently caused the death of her love. Distraught with grief she wandered off into the wilderness where she died from exposure. Upon coming back to life, she decided to try and enjoy life for all it was worth in attempt to forget about her haunted past, and the one she loved most.

Converted 3 merit points to Psyche
Spent EX as such
Resource, 2EX
Quick Draw, 2EX
Fighting Finesse (bowe Knife), 4ex
Disarm, 4EX
Athletics 1 dot, 3 EX
Atavism, 2 EX

Perfect Stillness 2EX
Direction sense 2EX

4th dot of psyche would cost 32, not 8. Its new dots x 8. 4x8=32.

Likewise, boneyard 4 would cost you 24 (4×6) and 5 would cost you 30 (5×6)

So you have spent 86/25 exp

Both look good, make sure to add your willpower.

And how did Kira learn Russian Special forces fighting techniques?

ah so it is by level of the new dot... Anyone has a good ideas to spend exp for my character? being it is my first I wanted something simple, a medic who drives in sets a boneyard so the others can operate with greater easy... was the concept.

:/ Well, to be honest, its an underworld campaign. Basically imagine a giant system of caves and magic rivers ( Rivers o blood, fire, acid, ice, marshmallow cream, ect). Then add in magical doors to pocket dimensions that can be literally ANYTHING that have weird laws that are strickly enforced.

That said, notice that I didnt say roads? Odds are you will be hoofing it most of the time, so a driving build is really going to go to waste.
Now you could just go full boneyard focus, and buy level 4, leaving you 1exp.

You are going to need high wits (boneyard), high occult(Stigmata), and high subterfuge(Stillness).

lol I had no idea what that first word was from. I just took it because it was the only knife specialized fighting tree. Kira is a knife enthusiast and mostly self taught, probably watched internet videos to learn techniques. She's one of those people in love with the idea of walking into the forest with a knife and being able to survive. She read Tarzan as a kid and watched a lot of Survivor Man growing up.

I might change Stillness, depending on the others(stares at the others). It is on the fence with Grave Dirt's, given the caverny area...

Though, I will admit, it wouldn't nearly be as fun as... NO, you don't see them. And at later levels... sleep sleep

Would Trained Observer be useful? Just trying to find a useful 1 dot Merit for the character.

Otherwise, Fixed

You have 1 skill point left in mental To go to anything except medicine.

You have 1 specialization left.

Healing and hiding are too general. For stealth, pick an environment, and medicine pick something like first aid or surgery.

You leveled boneyard, so stillness is boneyard 4 as well.

I didnt look at your derived stats, but since you stacked yourself for boneyard the way you did, they would change.


EDIT: Stats are good except your initiative is now 3, Health is 7, and Willpower is 2.

I recommend taking resources 1 so that you have the ability to roll for a medkit.

I may join, but questions... is the blood key the only way to combat ghosts? would firearms be a wise choice? and are you controlling the Giest or do we get that honor?
