Brood of Uhxbractit

Seem fair?

Works for me

Okay, I have at least the first pass of all the canon Dark-kin bloodlines done. I just thought I’d point out that I’m really starting to notice a theme on some of these powers, making me wonder just how many of the Infernal Lords of the Lordship of Irons and the Thorn Hills are actually fallen Valinor. Caneturec has a Larissan theme, Tulemigantzi seems either Altheran or (more likely) Hurrianite, Zalanadere seems VERY Nierite, while Ghashmet seems a bit on the Nerothian side to me.

Anyway, hope these look good!

One more question that I hope we can discuss here:

How are we treating the Havili/Black Val’s in terms of Infernal Taint? For example, if someone were to cast Rebuke, would they be hedged out of the radius of the spell? They are uber-Dark-kin, so it could go either way.

I agree as well.

Posted all the work here (including all the other Broods I wrote up) for clarity. The post on the first page also has the relevant information for Uhxbractit.

Any affected individual is subject to d(Ch) push. Creatures who cannot hear you are immune to this power.

The Tail is treated as a standard unarmed attack, using Melee (Unarmed) as its skill.

Havili Racial Talents:

1) Natural Claws [Racial] – Havili (Infernal Form)
2) Horrific Visage [Racial] – Tier III Havili?
3) Huge [Racial, Foundation] – Havili

For Ghasmet’s Tier I ability, for simplicity they simply gain NAR 1. The rest is just fluff. I think that is easiest.

Meliol’s Tier V is listed as Duration: Scene, so yes. It is not duration instant, and not duration sustained.

Melio’s other power was “Ha ha! I hit you!” followed by “I push 4, you miss.”

I’m not keen on the having to have hit the creature previously. Meliol seems to be all about persuasion and guile, and less intimidation which seems to be what is implied by you having to have hit them first.
