Character Kits

Strikio (witches, shaman, wise men/women ect)

"The ancestors have chosen me"

The Strikio are good twins of the Strigio, selected by their powers at birth and marked by white caul (embryonic membrane still attached to  the top of the head, forming a veil). At night the Strikio can shape shift into a animal and travel about defending their communities from evil. Unfortunately for the Strikio outsiders have a problem telling them apart from the bloodthirsty  Strigio and persecute them.

Use the Witch Kit

Add the following
 Perk: Peasant hospitality
 Disadvantage: Hunted by Church

The -1/4 Limitation is at the whim of the powers, typically involves some odd probation like wearing no brass.

Strikio must take the Power Shape Change, into one specific animal form, with the -1/4 limitation; Only Works at Night.


Demonology

Demonology is the easiest and most dangerous form of magic available. By opening a way to Hell its' practitioners are feared and loathed by all and are universally hunted. Demons, being innately magical, have none of the disadvantages that humans suffer and can command incredible powers. Fortunately for the rest of society the law of Heaven means  that any demon who would be powerful enough to be a real threat to humanity is left almost impotent on Earth.

Any Magician can practice this art, they only need to learn the spells and demons are all too easy to respond.

Goetic Sorcerer

"Oh a lovely life the Goetic; all day and night chanting, kidnapping virgins,  and making sure the stars are right and the next thing you know some unwashed bum in a piece of rabbit fur shows up to steal all the credit and it's never '"ear me, you look tired, let me take that dagger and I'll finish up here" Oh no. It's always 'Die demon spawn in all the names that are holy!" and then them trying to shove nasty bits of metal into your soft bits and the while your thinking "Oh, now this is a surprise',..."

 Goetic is the word St. Augustine coined for evil sorcery. Characters in these kits are the few exceptionally demented individuals who routinely deal with demons. Use any Magic user Kit with the Demon Magic collage.

Add the following;

 Disadvantage: Hunted By Church and Civil Authorities
 Contact: Demonic Sponsor
For the spell limitation the patron Demon  (i.e. the GM) assigns  some horrid activity the Character must routinely indulge in (like human sacrifice) for the spells to work.

Strigio (Demonic Witches)

"Are we all not predators in the end?"
When a baby is born with the red caul the wise women know it will become one the dreaded Strigio. These demonic witches are EVIL in cap locks. Even the Goetic sorcerers are not playing in the Strigio' league of nastiness. They spend their days casting curses on their neighbors and at night fly about attacking lone travelers. They are EVIL I tell you EVIL! Worse yet they come back as vampires when they die.

Use the Witch Character Kit
use the school of Demonic Magic

add hunted by the Church
must take Physical Disadvantage: Vulnerability x2 damage from holy items
The Strigio must take the powers Deslodifaction and Flight with the -1/4 limitation; Works Only at Night, yes these are normally banned powers but such are the easy rewards of evil to the wicked.



Priests

"Behold the power of the Lord Creator of the Universe"

 The magical world of Anobora even Priests pack the magical wallop. How ever since their powers are coming from the Big Guy himself Priests can be at times incredible powerful. On the other hand The Big Guy tends to want his creation to stay the way it is so He takes a low visibility attitude so in many ways Priests are weak spell casters.

Use the priest package

Priest Spells

Activation Roll Modifier
For every level of a physiological limitation that is a virtue +2 to the roll
For every level of physiological limitation that is a vice -2 to the roll

Example from the game: Sir Thomas has the virtue of Piety (Physiological Disadvantage: Piety), strong so he would be allowed an activation roll of 14-. Sir Nicholas has the vice of Anger (Enraged in Combat Disadvantage) at a moderate level, and the vice lust, moderate so he takes a -8 of his roll so no calling for God's help without some penance for Sir Nicholas.
