No colors anymore, I want them to be black.

The last few days I have been busy with a friend from out of town, which is why I did not post on tuesday. However unlike most webcomic artists I have no problem with making up for lost updates. Though to be fair its because I don't have to sit there for a hour or two for each update.

Key thing that's slowly been getting done is fleshing out the details in character creation. The basics things can be referenced to the core book, but I am very sure that the steps for character creation will have to be re-written a couple times until it looks good. I want to flesh it out amazingly and put oh so much wondrous detail into the section but the key thing is much of WoD supplement character creation text is just cut and paste until it gets to the supernatural templates due to the steps for creation being much simpler then Old World.

Now; thats not suggesting I am trying to copy White Wolfs style to the point of purposely avoiding improvement. More or less I want to kind of stay true to the style and just have something I can read in a month or two and go "Hey, that looks pretty good.". Coming to the topic of Supernatural templates.

Bid Daddies would certainly be a interesting concept to transform into a playable template. Though it immediately hits on one big thing: Canon. I know, I know. Its not like we are following Canon too well so far anyway, but more or less we are strecthing it. Lets face it though, And answer honestly. When you played Bioshock, didn't you EVER want to use that big freaking Drill? More so in Bioshock two when they give you the Drill! Therefore, I can guess very well that when people play a rpg in that world; That they will want to play as a Big Daddy.

Simplest matter is to include a template but attach plenty of rules for it, including rules for being transformed into one during play as jack did before the fight with Atlas and supply a few choices of Layout for the new Big Daddy (Bouncer, Rosie, or one of the homebrew Big Daddies we are toying with) which will of course effect the weapon access they have and how hardcore they really are. A big drawback to being a Big Daddy is there's a very slim chance you will be able to wield Plasmids. To make up for it your limited weaponry will make OWoD Werewolves say "Wow thats overpowered!" Drills will most likely get 8 again, Rivet Guns will be able to switch ammunition and fire neat super bolts.

Second is the player will now be the tank. Not just the tank but THE tank. Most anything will only do bashing to you and your mis-shapen flesh underneath is not only fire resistant (Very low chance of catching fire) but slowly regenerates. Vocalization becomes well... Impossible. The Big Daddies voice box is forever tampered with and can only make the low, tired groans your familiar with and unable to actually form words. The upside is the Big Daddie can use a little Sister gathered from a Vent in order to gather Adam for the group and to further your own goals.

There is still plenty to flesh out and think of. But I am more familiar with the rule that if it is mentioned as a race there will probably be a player that wants to be that race somewhere along the line. Its how Gripli from AD&D were statted for 3.5 afterall. For instance is the similer rule of design is that is a Monster is ever mentioned a GM will use it atleast once in its existence. Like the cop out for Deadlands not statting Clay (A servant of Death) because they said "If they stat it, they will kill it" in a misguided attempt to not let players play their own story.

That and who doesint want to wield a gigantic Drill of death.
