Brood of Uhxbractit

My initial thought is that we write this up as if it is a val bloodline w/ the racial abilities of a dark kin.. We have the basis of the bloodline abilities in legacy of damnation. They would need to get access to them via a ‘bloodline’ talent just as a Val would per tier.

In the Legacy of Damnation book, there are currently 3 tiers worth of abilities (2 per tier) for this bloodline (pg. 74). We can either stretch it out so it is 1 ability per tier or create two additional tiers worth of abilities for a total of 10. Thoughts?

Understood, Henry. We can build up the Cambion from scratch and work from there on the bloodlines.

We can also pull the stats of Uhxbractit from the last Crusades BI and see what abilities we want to water down and include in the bloodline abilities. You would think that some of those traits might have passed onto his kin.

Pg 9 of Legacy of Damnation has a descriptive flavor writeup of Cambions. In d20 terms, it was a ‘half fiend’……good to get the creative juices going to start working up the racial stats.

Havili (Black Val) Racial Traits

Attributes: Charisma, Brood Attribute*
Brood of Uhxbractit – Prowess

Skills: Any one Physical skill and any one Social skill.
• All Havili have the Monsterous Trait Innocent Appearance, but can only appear in their Tainted form or as a regular human.
• The Brood Talent appropriate for your Infernal Brood
• Any Combat or Skill Talent
• +1 bonus to Fortitude defense
• A Havili is treated as a Human and as an Infernal for all effects which specifically target either Humans or Infernals (such as Rebuke (sp))
Automatic Languages: Infernal; plus one of Altheran, Hainese, Low Coryani, Auxunite, Yhing Hir, or Milandesian.
Special: All Talents which apply a change to a person’s body (Wings, Claws, etc) only manifest while in Infernal Form. When in human form the Havili cannot make use of these abilities.

Brood of Uhxbractit [Racial, Limited]
You are the half-infernal child of the Great Lord Uhxbractit, former Lord of Irons and Infernal Lord upon Onara! As you advance in power, you begin to manifest more and more traits of your Infernal progenitor
Requirement: Havili
Benefit: This talent is acquired at Character creation, and is no longer considered limited to you. You can only have a single Infernal Brood talent (such as Brood of Uhxbractit (ta)) for an individual character. Once you have chosen your Infernal Brood, see Tiered Benefits below:
Tier I: Uhxbractit kept the Infernals of the Sealed Lands in line and under his rule for centuries through his own guile and the force of his charisma. Once per day (Speed 4, range 10′), you may make a Charisma Action Skill Roll, plus double your tier, against the Discipline defense of all creatures within a 10′ radius of yourself. Any affected individual is subject to d(Ch) push. Creatures who cannot hear you are immune to this power.
Tier II: Uhxbractit was known for his ability to use his tail in battle, smiting creatures left and right. In fact, it was often thought that his tail had a mind of its own. You grow a small prehensile tail and, when in your Infernal form, gain the Trip Foe Martial Technique when using the tail. The Tail is treated as a standard unarmed attack, using Melee (Unarmed) as its skill.
Tier III: Uhxbractit was born of the fires of Hell, and you have inherited his ability to withstand them. You are completely immune to non-magical flames, and possess AR: 6 against magical fire.
Tier IV: Uhxbractit was able to traverse long distances on his massive wings, and in emulation of your ancestor, you also grow a pair. When not using your Innocent Appearance ability, you grow a pair of wings granting you a fly speed equal to your pace with Agile maneuverability. While these wings are manifested you suffer a -2 to your avoidance and have your pace reduced by 5′.
Special (Restriction): This Talent requires you utilize Custom fitted armor (see Equipment, A: RPG).
Tier V: While many call Uhxbractit a Devil, he is in fact a creature known as a Fiend, able to take control of victims by occupying their body. While his half-Infernal children lack this power, they still maintain the ability to bend others to their will. Once per scene (Speed: 7, Duration: Scene, Range: 20′) you may reach into a target’s mind by making a Resolve Action Skill Roll, plus double your tier, against their Discipline Defence. If successful, you may force your target to do you will, issuing mental commands to your target as a Simple Skill Action. Your target must perform those commands to the best of their ability, even if it threatens themselves. The affected target may attempt a Mettle: Stand Firm Action Skill Roll every 12 ticks as a Push 4 Action to break your hold on them.

Havili Racial Talents:

Natural Claws [Racial] (Ta)
Horrific Visage [Racial] (Ta) – Tier III requirement
Patchwork Soul [Racial] (Ta)
Furious Rage [Racial] (ta)
Infernal Blood* [Racial] (ta)

Infernal Blood [Racial, Foundation]
The blood of your Infernal forebearer literally flows through your veins.
Requirements: Havili
Benefit: You gain 5 additional stamina, and you gain a +6 to all your Defences against poisons.

Further thought: We know Uhxbractit is actually one of the internals who can possess a creature, so maybe drop the Tier V ability to Tier IV (anti”Valinors Wings”) and replace it with an ability to control beings similar to the Thrall spell?

Solid work on this one, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

BUT I would specifically details that black val may take dark-kin traits which “appear” when they drop their Innocent Appearance…. maybe this should require a Push speed?
