Title: Monster Powers - for Actual Monsters?
Post by: GRIM on February 20, 2019, 09:15:11 AM
Working on 'Actual Fucking Monsters'. Working on creature powers and running out of inspiration. If you were playing an inhuman monster in a #Horror #RPG what powers would you choose, if you had free rein?

Separate Party (cause the party to decide the split up for some reason)
Ride Person (ride on a person's mind/body to spy on group or escape, etc)
Consume Skin Suit (consume internal organs and other body parts and wear the remaining skin suit)
Unbalance (cause weird phone calls, etc to occur, distracting and putting party off balance)
Portal Device (have a device associated with your "own" dimension. Handling/working device moves person/party to your dimension)
Sympathy (cause a person to have unreasoning sympathy for your "predicament")

Cultural Appropriation (use ideas from non-western monsters)

Duplicate Party (create an "evil" exact duplicate of the party)
Final Form (on initial death, take final more powerful form)
Fog (create fog)
Anti-Tech (your tech, it breaks)

More a quirk than a power but...

True Believer (one person always survives your attack, and nobody believes the survivor)
