"Then an experience that perhaps no good man can ever have in our world came over him -- a torrent of perfectly unmixed and lawful hatred ... It is perhaps difficult to understand why this filled Ransom not with horror but with a kind of joy. The joy came from finding at last what hatred was made for. As a boy with an axe rejoices on finding a tree, or a boy with a box of coloured chalks rejoices on finding a pile of perfectly white paper, so he rejoiced in the perfect congruity between his emotion and its object." C.S. Lewis, *Perelandra* 1. This is, in my opinion, what is meant by the Heavenly Word which, in human languages, is inaccurately, inadequately, and incompletely translated as "hate." Peliel's Word of Righteous Vengeance is probably the closest. 2. It's also a good guideline for playing Malakim.

Well, not really. Because you can never have too many Undead. OK, that's not really true, either. :) Moe Skeletons Corporeal Forces: 2 Strength: 3 Agility: 5 Ethereal Forces: 1 Intelligence: 0 Precision: 4 Celestial Forces: 0 Will: 0 Perception: 0 As corporeal creatures (more or less) skeletons have the equivalent of a Vessel/2, -2 Charisma. Also, the gradual drying out of the bones will cause one level of Vulnerability (crushing attacks) per ten years of age. Body Hits: 12 Skills: Dodge/4, Fighting/3, Large Weapon/3 (various), Move Silently/3, Ranged Weapon/3 (various) Gear: Skeletons usually have some sort of simple hand weapon (axes and clubs are most common) and a shield (+1 to Dodge), or a bow and 30 arrows. They can wear armor, but at a -1 to Protection (minimum 1) unless it's been explicitly designed to fit a Skeleton. Skeletons fall somewhere in that nebulous area between Constructs and the Undead. While they are created through the dark arts of necromancy, they are not really 'human'... even if one expands the term to include things like Zombis. Creating a Skeleton Obviously, first you need a complete skeleton: the fresher, the better. The bones have to be reasonably clean of ... external matter ... but not all of the pieces have to have come from the same donor, although they usually come from at least the same species. Anything with a recognizable skeletal structure can be converted into a Skeleton. Preparing a Skeleton can be somewhat tricky, as the bones need to be somehow reattached to each other. The traditional method involves a special type of clay: creating it requires a Necromancy roll at +1 and some very nasty ingredients. Once this clay is created, the Sorcerer then uses it to essentially stick each bone together. This requires both a successful Necromancy roll at -2 (representing the ability to properly mystically align the bones) and a successful Knowledge: Anatomy roll (representing the ability to avoid attaching a femur to a vertebrae). The actual ritual itself (Create Skeleton) is fairly straightforward, if a trifle boring: the roll to activate is (Necromancy + Enchantment), with a cost of 6 Essence and a minimum casting time of 8 hours. If successful, the Skeleton will activate at the end of the ritual. Not being quite Undead, Skeletons do not require a suitable Need to fuel their dark vitality. They instead run on Essence: one note of Essence will power a Skeleton for one hour. Skeletons have a capacity of 3 notes of Essence, which is effectively reserved for activation purposes - lacking sentience, Skeletons may not learn or use Songs, and cannot use their Essence to improve their skill rolls. The perceptive will note that Skeletons seem fairly easy to disable, thanks to their relatively low number of Body Hits (12). It is true that two or three good hits will disassemble one: indeed, Skeletons are designed to be disassembled. The trick is to keep it disassembled. If the pieces of a Skeleton are scattered, without any further precautions taken (see below), the various bones will reassemble themselves within five minutes. Any bones that were empowered by the above ritual can be reused to create a new Skeleton. There is a solution, of course: actually break the bones instead of just sending them flying. A character that makes a Strength roll at -2 can cause up to (CD/3) permanent Body Hits per round: however, the character may not do anything else during that round (including Dodge), which can be problematical if there are still Skeletons active and in the fight. Skeletons are not free willed creatures: they are always under the orders of their creators. There are precisely four commands that can be given to one: 'Attack', 'Wait until someone comes close enough, then attack', 'Stop attacking' and 'obey [Insert name here] as you would me'. In the medieval period (the great first heyday of Skeletons), they were usually used as endlessly patient guards. These days, they exist mostly as curios, accidents or pure kitsch: there's a few demonic Tethers that keep them along for the look of things, and of course they make a nice addition to any Forgotten Temple. Other than that, frankly modern weaponry can make mincemeat out of them. Of course, if you simply must have them, there's always SKELETECHONS!!!!! Yes, Vapula. Corporeal Forces: 2 Strength: 6* Agility: 5 Ethereal Forces: 1 Intelligence: 3* Precision: 4 Will: 0 Will: 0 Perception: 3* *Denotes 'bought-up' Attribute Vessel: Vessel/4 with +2 Toughness and -2 Charisma Body Hits: 48 Skills: Dodge/4, Fighting/3, Large Weapon/3 (Chainsaw), Move Silently/3, Ranged Weapon/3 (Shotgun), Tactics/3 Gear: Integral Shotgun, Integral Chainsaw, Kevlar Armor that is designed to be worn by a Skeletechon. This is a Skeleton after Vapula has finished playing with it. Not that the original design wasn't clever, in its own way, but there were so many improvements to be made. First, obviously, this clay nonsense had to go, instead, there's an intricate internal titanium frame (+3 to Strength, +1 Toughness and +2 Vessel). Next, well, a dedicated internal computer and integral targeting scope/vision suite, backed up with a virtually bug-free - for Vaputech, at least - AI program seemed appropriate (+3 Intelligence, +3 Perception and Tactics/3). Granted, the AI isn't very bright, and isn't quite up to mimicking true sentience, but that's for the next generation. It is capable of determining when to expend Essence - which is why they also come with a dedicated Reliquary/2 (which extends their maximum operating time to 5 hours). After that, there really was nothing left to do except to replace one arm with a chainsaw and the other with a shotgun. Luckily, having them built in allowed for better accuracy (+1 sounds about right). Problems with the design? Well, you have to understand that these things come with a tradeoff. Unlike their prototypes, Skeletechons cannot reassemble themselves when their bones are dispersed: Vapula's working on the problem. Then, of course, there's the unfortunate fact that Skeletechons have no fine manipulators, thus making them fairly useless if somebody rips out their integral weaponry. That cannot be helped. And, true, their appearance makes it difficult to use them too publicly - but that's society's fault, not the Skeletechon's. Then there's the power supply issue. Personally, Vapula isn't too sure whether having the computer, sights and chainsaw be powered by a highly volatile plasma battery is either a bug, or a feature. On the one hand, when the battery is breached by an energy or fire-based attack (essentially, 10+ points of damage in a single attack), it tends to explode (on a 1 or 2 CD of the attack roll), causing 4d6 Body Hits to anyone within 10 yards of the explosion. On the other hand, when the battery is breached by an energy or fire-based attack, it tends to explode, causing 4d6 Body Hits to anyone within 10 yards of the explosion. It all depends on your point of view, really. ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 04/13/02(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

She had to go and say 'Sheddite of the Sword'... *flips the cannon light off* - --- Sometimes, a Demon gets tired of being a Demon. Sometimes, the core of Selfishness that composes such beings gets worn away. Such creatures can seek Redemption, to become Angels. To accomplish this, an Archangel must personally reconfigure the critter. This is known to not always work. Sometimes, the Demon is simply destroyed. Others, the Redemption is wholy successful, leaving what amounts to a newly fledged Angel. And sometimes, something... else happens. No one on either side likes to talk about it, really, and Asmodeous ruthlessly hunts such half-failures down. When the demon's Forces begin to unravel, the Superior sometimes invests something of themselves to save the subject. This can work- although it will often have some unintended consequences, such as a powerful Discord related to that Superior's Word. Andd sometimes, it leaves the demon demon, still fully demonic, but also attuned to the Archangel's Word, and gaining some measure of understanding with how their own nature interacts with the Symphony at large with that Word, but also becoming bond to the Word's dissonance. As well as an inner war between his selfless and selfish sides. There is fewer than a half a dozen of any Band serving an Archangel at any time, most of them clustering around either Flowers or the Sword. Further attempts at Redeeming the in-between inevitibly lead to destruction- the strain simply appears to be too much. There are no known angels trapped inbetween like this- Falling appears much easier than Redeeming. These half-way demons are kept around for very special missions- and kept secret. Dominic takes a dim view of any other Archangel using them or angel interacting with them- although he, of course, is exempt when he needs to be. Habbalah are a special case. Given their already delusional psyche to begin with, few seek Redemption. Those who do have generally come to grips with their demon-hood. The few who get stuck in between, sadly, are convinced that they REALLY ARE angels now. Again. Much as it might irritate Lucifier to lose a servant and gain an enemy, he is said to chuckle at hearing that. - --- Sample Band Attunments Balseraph of the Sword: The dark knights to Laurence's Seraphim, Balseraph's of the Sword are used to impose the Truth on those who won't see it for themselves. When using their Resonance to convince someone of something that is objectivly true, the victim has a penelty equal to the Balseraph's Celestial Forces to resist. One of Laurence's first commands to his Balseraphs is to NOT resonante without his explicit commands (he found telling them not to lie was frustratingly ineffective). Both Balseraph's of the Sword have gained some measure of the Ugly Discord- they are scared arcross their entire body, as if struck by a thousand white-hot blades. Sheddite of the Sword: The singular Corrupter to ever join with Laurence found a most interesting side to his new nature- instead of corrupting people, he could actually, instead, make them do good deed to remain in them. Riding the host in much the same way as always, a Sheddite of the Sword is capable of choosing to instead have his host perform a selfless act that day, instead of a selfish act. The selfless act must still be greater each day, however most people are less inherently opposed to doing good than bad, and so they only check every other day. Furthermore, he could (in theory) start corrupting the Host- if he does so, it is as if the Sheddite just possesed the Host. They coul bounce between good and bad for a long, long time. Laurence's first command to this Sheddite was to never lead a Mortal into doing selfish acts, and he manifested a peculiar Vulnerability- items sacred to Pagan Gods will burn and repel him, in much the same way as a cross does the classic vampire. - --- I've gotta run, but if anyone can think of some Band attunments for Novalis, this could at least be tied back in with Mayflowers. And she should have the most of the buggers anyways :) And I repeat, this was /not/ my fault. Stupid brain doing stuff when I'm not looking. :) - --- *flips the cannon light back on* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

What do Hearts actually look like? My answer is that the Heart would somewhat reflect the nature of the attuned Celestial's Choir and Word- hence, the oppurtunity to make yet a nother Engaging List (tm). Seraphim: A crystal ball, faintly etched with an eternally unblinking eye. Cherubim: A crystaline shield, embosed with the animal form they take celestially rampant. Ofanim: Their heart is actually quicksilvery material, contained within a glass box, constantly moving on it's own as if alive. Ehloite: A regular geometric figure- older Powers would probally have fewer sides, in my opinion. Pyramids, cubes, spheres, dodechahedrons... Malakim: A sunburst, a sphere with a lot of spikes coming out of it. Kyriotates: A cloud of semi-solid fog, which seems unwilling to disperse and always comes back together. Mercurians: A small human figure- at least a few younger celestials have remarked that they look like realistically sized Barbie and Ken dolls. Different Words would have different effects.

Balseraph of Flowers: Novalis' Liars -- all three of them - --generate allergic reactions in those who perform violent acts nearby. Anyone who initiates violence within an area equal to a Seraph of Flowers' peace aura gains a penalty of - -(demon's Celestial Forces) to the TN of all further violent actions due to sneezing. This can be resisted with a Will roll. Djinn of Flowers: like Novalis' Cherubim, Stalkers of Flowers can take on the pain of others -- but instead of physical pain, they absorb psychological pain. This works just like Novalis' Cherub Attunement except that the demon can absorb Mind Hits. A Djinn of Flowers has +2 Ethereal Forces for the purpose of calculating Mind Hits. Calabite of Flowers (Restricted): a Destroyer of Novalis never suffers backlash of his Resonance when he uses it to attack someone who is currently engaged in an act of violence. Lilim of Flowers (Restricted): Daughters in the service of Novalis add their Corporeal Forces to the TN of any attempt to Geas someone after satisfying a Need for sustenance or healing. Shedite of Flowers (Restricted): a Shedite serving Novalis (there's only one so far) can possess a single small plant (i.e. a flower, fruit or vegetable). If the Shedite's Host is eaten by a Human, the Host gets no Will roll to resist possession by the Shedite. The demon must still make a normal Resonance roll. Impudite of Flowers: Novalis' Takers can imbue plants with Essence (up to the demon's Corporeal Forces per plant). Anyone who eats the plant immediately regains that much Essence. ===== Michael Walton, #US2002023848 If your principles don't inconvenience you from time to time, you don't really have any. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
