The five groups could be:

Skeleton with melee weapon
Skeleton with bow and arrow
Flaming Skeleton
Big Skeleton
Glow in the Dark Skeleton

Can't you add another minor template to these, to make the ever-important skeleton wizard? (Note: NOT a lich)

quote:

Bones rattle against cracked bones as this ancient, fleshless corpse clatters forth. Instead of lumbering forth to attack, this one instead holds back and casts a sinister spell!

Or are they the antagonist faction?

That's true, this is a thread about over-involved nerd poo poo that's variably cool and uncomfortably weird and that, if we're honest with ourselves, has been worthless since like 2006.

Mendrian: Jan 6, 2013

Nah man he'll be cool this time. Don't you remember when Haight was cool? Man so cool.

I can't wait for more Haight. I hope they manage to cram more minor templates into his backstory this time.

Seriously though Haight has no place in any worthwhile story and I don't know why people keep polishing him up in the hopes that there's something valuable under all that. I could pretty much start from scratch and run with almost any other character idea and it would be less trouble than making Haight into an interesting character.

Keeping a good polish on your ashtray shows you have the kind of detail oriented nature a ghostman looks for in their ghostboss.

Nothing in the World of Darkness will ever entertain me as much as the Vampire Wizard Werewolf office decoration.

The saddest thing is a newly-awakened mage who has Gnosis 1 and four arcana- two apprentice, two initiate-

AWP!

And his highest arcana are Fate and Spirit.

Ferrinus: Jun 19, 2003; i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world

When you move Perfecting down to Apprentice and rely on improvising off Practice definitions rather than a spell list, Fate 2 and Spirit 2 can get a lot done!

Exrandu: Jan 31, 2014; "Things need not have happened to be true."

This is the most evil power I've ever seen in any World of Darkness game.

"Earworm", Demon: the Descent p142 posted:

Success: The target hears a song that she can�t get out of
her head. The song doesn�t have to be a real, recognizable song
(though if the player has a favorite earworm that he wishes to
inflict on the troupe, there�s no rule against it). The target cannot
concentrate or attend without the song becoming �louder� and
occupying more of her mental faculties. Any extended action
requires a number of additional successes equal to the successes
on the Embed roll, and any Perception rolls the target makes
suffer a penalty equal to the demon�s Primum.
