Mystery Men Fight

Post by bigsteveuk »

Hi,

I have recently got the rules and the easiest way for me to learn them would be a couple of fights.

So I was wondering if anyone would like to pick an archetype at Mystery Man lvl and have a little scuffle.

Cheers,

As he made his way through the Museums Egyptian collection Curio felt almost disappointed at just how simple the whole matter had been. A simple mind trick on the museum guard and he was now heading home to check on his sick wife and the locked doors held little challenge. He stopped briefly as he surveyed the impressive collection of Egyptian artefacts till at last his gaze fell on his purpose for this visit the death mask of the KAMENWAT. He was about to step forward when something on the edge of his perception made him stop, maybe he wasn’t the only one with an interest in this mask.

So anyone fancy a go against Curio stage magician?

I'll take the Psychic Avenger...and turn him in a villain to spice things up.
I'll take the variation " replace Cloud Minds with Telekinesis"
Now he's got the specter/poltergeist feel...and...he'll be... a girl!

I won't make a real sketch of her, let's try Hero-matic.. fixing some colors and...here's an idea of what she'll look like.

She only needs a name now...
Miss Specter the ghostly thief?

Then again, sorry for our misunderstanding bigsteveuk.

You should both post your stats to make sure everything is nice and transparent :)

At least that's my advice :)

You have read my intro 1930's British Museum in the Egyptology Section.

My character gets an inclining all is not well but heads toward the cabinet which holds the death mask.

um the way i read burn out tk will probably only be usable once fails 1,2,3,4, on a d6 for a 1/3 chance of 2 uses
and the invisibility will fail on 1 or a 2 , 1/3 of the time
you'd do a lot better with charges
but maybe im wrong about burnout , it seems very harsh to me

EDIT:
Well here's my final take:

The psychic avenger archetype undergo quite a change.
Maybe you should adjust your own :)

A feminine voice echoes in the dignified hall.
"Did you lost your way before the closing out?"

(ps:What does Curio looks like? How old is he? Is he famous?)
(pps:Yup she's invisible for now^^ that's just for the 'introduction')

Love your background.

Curio aka Walter deGrey is a middle age handsome middle aged Englishman (very David Niven) he is a well known stage magician and escapologist. Though not a stereotypical hero he can't help saving ladies in distress. He has recently been working for The Ring which is a group of magical types who try to remove dangerous items from the public domain

P.S Ok I will give him the once over and maybe tweak him.
