Wardens Invested
From OakthorneWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search- Each Invested embodies the power of a single modern city, called an "Awakened City." These abilities should reflect the city's spirit and themes.
- Invested have a variety of small, useful abilities granted to them while they are in any Awakened City. Invested heal faster and never need to eat or drink while within an Awakened City. They can also move rapidly through cities and even retreat within a cyst of asphalt and concrete, which is absorbed by the city only to reappear in another city, transporting them to a new location. All Invested must have at least two of these power sets, though they all eventually develop all of them.
- Asphalt Cyst: 3 pts/rank, min 3pt. Teleportation 1+ (Extended, Reaching; Awakened Cities only) • Reaching allows the Invested to spend extra time in transit to places their teleportation can't quite reach; increase the Time of 0 by +1 per rank of additional Distance needed to reach target Awakened City.
- City Creature: 4 pts. Immunity 1 (starvation & thirst), Regeneration 6 (Source: urban)
- With the Flow: 7 pts. Feature 1 (showing up at moments important to city), Movement 3 (Safe Fall, Sure-Footed)
- Words from the City: 20 pts. Communication 3 (city-speak), Comprehend 4 (languages 2, city 2)
- Finally, Invested have the following Complication:
- Awakened City Dependence (Complication): When you are outside of an Awakened City, you lose access to your Invested-specific abilities, gaining a Hero Point if you are in a situation where you need them. This counts as a Power Loss Complication.
Known Invested
Reginald "Foggy" Dunsany Warwick Invested of London One of the oldest-known Invested still alive today, Foggy was Invested at the height of the British Empire during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 1870s. Though he is often somewhat anachronistic, he is a kind and welcoming figure, and has served as a mentor to a great many Invested over the years. Known Abilities: In addition to the full suite of Invested abilities (many of which he has honed to levels above those achieved by many of his peers), Foggy has the ability to generate a bank of "pea-souper" fog, a trick from which he derives his nickname. He is also an extremely adept fencer and shot with a pistol. | |
