sheet ready for initial evaluation
Name:Leanne
Race: Elf
Gender: Female
Appearance: short, thin, with tan skin, bright blue eyes, and very long (almost ground-touching) seafoam-green hair bound in a single long ponytail. wears a brown shirt and tan skirt, moccasins, and leather belt with a moderate-sized belt pouch, a waterskin, and a belt-knife on it. Is generally alert, often making slight twitches of her head to glance at small sounds or simply to look at a spot she hasn't looked for a while.
Status: Visitor
Occupation: Tavern waitress
Starting position: Gate out of town, staring at it hoping to remember if she came in it when she arrived, or if it's the way she needs to go.
Primary Power: Exchanged Form - When Leanne touches a creature for more than 5 continuous seconds, then after a one minute delay she and the target partly or completely exchange forms over a period of one minute with the final effect lasting for a minimum of one hour, maximum of 26. how strong the effect is depends on how long they are touching.
Errata:seconds 6->25 control how much their bodies change, with them fully swapping if contact lasts 25 seconds or longer (5% swap per second). seconds 26->50 determine the length of the effect, each second adding an hour to the duration. The one minute delay only begins after contact ends. she cannot queue up an additional instance of the ability during the delay or change periods, but can swap forms while swapped. The new target is swapped towards the form she is in at the time of the new swap, the old target is completely unaffected, and Leanne swaps towards the new target based on the form she was in at the time of the swap. If the new effect would end before the old one, then when the new effect times out she shifts back to the old form. If the new effect would end after the old one, and is only a partial shift, then the old effect upon herself is extended to when the new effect would end. the old target's effect's duration is unaffected.
Backstory info: Leanne was a... a... a... person, at a... um.... where... um... a place. She got a... um... some kind of message thingie. Her brother had... um... comon... why is it so hard to remember... he got into some kind of trouble. He needed her help to... um... uh... to deal with it somehow. So she left... um... it was a big deal at the time... something? maybe? to travel to help him. But she ran into... um... what was it again? some kind of unexpected trouble and she ran out of supplies partway. So she stopped at Harker's Ford and got temp job here to make the money she needed to buy replacement supplies and resume travel. But by the time she, probably? had enough money to resume her travels, she'd forgotten where she was going and what she needed to do.
Your backstory is good, the rest seems good... but the primary power... it's a bit too specific. Don't forget, I'm going to roll for these powers using a
d6 die, so you may not get exactly what you hope for anyway, or you may get way more than you hoped for
(but with obvious quirks or caveats). So, things like precise times or percentages should be left out when you select one. Here's what I got from reading your description:
Swap Forms: At will, you may "copy" the likeness of a person or creature by focusing intently on them for a turn, and then "paste" that likeness onto yourself or someone/something else. Sustained physical contact with the subject confers a +1 bonus to your "copy" roll. "Pasting" manifests itself as an illusion in the eyes of whoever beholds your target, who normally cannot tell the true likeness on a mere passing glance.
That would probably be the result of a 5 (Epic Success) on your ability roll. Complete physical mutation on the scale you were suggesting, to actually change oneself to look like another, is definitely possible, but knowing how to do that to yourself and knowing how to do that to someone else -- let alone
both at the same time -- are two completely different things.
Too strong? Ok, how about the power to inflcit select targets with nightmarish hallucinations?
Oh, definitely. You're describing a mind-affecting power, which the Veil already promotes. All you'd really need to do is surface-scan someone's memories for whatever makes them afraid, then insert hallucinations of that into their mind.
Mine okay?
..... Whoa. A parasitic snake that replaced a woman's spine...? Um, I guess that can work, so long as you aren't planning to jump into another host to try and cheat the system.
Anyway, regeneration. Yeah, definitely possible, since you could will your own body to heal faster... buuut... at the rate you're suggesting, and the implied ability to dodge death? Your character would likely not start off at that level. If you died early on, you're dead. Still, you could start out knowing the basics of healing cuts on yourself, then take that a step further if you like. Maybe branch it out to heal your allies, too.
