MANTLE:

NEPHILIM (Supernatural Scale)/P.I.(Mundane Scale)

The Nephilim are born from the union of human and Seraphim parents. They were among the heroes and giants of legend. Nearly immortal and very powerful, they were deemed Abominations by the Heavenly Host, and hunted down and murdered by the thousands. Because of their inherent immunity to mystic forces the Seraphim were forced to use crude weapons of iron and bronze to fight and kill them.

You were born with exceptional abilities but also have a mortal life. Create your character according to a Pure Mortal mantle of your choosing and then add the conditions and stunts below.

UNIQUE CONDITIONS

Mystic Invulnerability: [ x ]

This condition is always marked. The souls of the Nephilim act as a repelling force against all forms of mystical attack. Magical Evocations, rituals, psychic powers, and even Celestial Fire cannot affect the Nephilim; such attacks simply fail. Celestial Shields provide no protection from a Nephilim’s unarmed attacks. Neither illusions, spells of mind control, and the life-draining abilities of supernatural beings work against the Nephilim. One side effect to this is that beneficial supernatural powers cannot work on the Nephilim, either. Healing magical powers, for example, do not affect them. Another is that they cannot perform Magic, not even Thaumaturgy.

Hurt (sticky): [ 4 ]

Mark this condition to absorb four shifts of physical harm. Recovery requires at least one scene of downtime at full rest, obtaining medical attention, binding wounds, et cetera.

Word on the Street: (sticky) [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

You have a wide array of informants, friends on the force, and casual acquaintances who you can go to for information. Mark a box to add +2 to any roll seeking information about people, places, or criminal activity. Recover 1 box at the start of each session. Clear Word on the Street by solving a high profile case.

Gone Too Far: (sticky) [ ]

Mark this condition when you’ve gone too far, pushed an informant too hard, or broke protocol one too many times. You may not mark any boxes of Word on the Street until this condition is cleared. Recover this condition by solving the case you went too far on (which will not clear Word on the Street), or by spending a scene making amends to the party you crossed.

CORE STUNTS

Supernatural Senses:

The Nephilim can see the flows of mystic energies, although they cannot manipulate them. These senses allow them to detect the presence of spirits and soul projecting astral travelers, as well as detect the use of magic. If the character Overcomes a target’s abilities (usually Focus vs Guile test) , he can uncover supernatural beings posing as humans. Their unique powers also render Nephilim immune to all forms of illusion and magical or psychic concealment.

Private Eye:

When searching a location for clues, gain +2 to all Overcome rolls using Focus.

Connect the Dots:

Gain +1 to all Create an Advantage or Overcome rolls relating to piecing together multiple sources of information.

ADDITIONAL STUNTS:

Superior Recovery:

Once per session, treat any conditions representing a physical injury as one step lower (sticky becomes fleeting, lasting becomes sticky).

Superior Speed:

Gain +2 to use Haste to defend or create an advantage. The GM may determine that your actions gain scale with or without invoking the bonus.

Superior Strength:

Once per scene, gain +2 to use Force to Attack or Overcome an obstacle that raw strength would effect. The GM may determine that your actions gain scale with or without invoking the bonus.

CONDITIONS:

In Peril (sticky): [ 4 ]

You may mark the In Peril condition whenever you are hit by an attack. Negate up to four shifts of damage from the attack and then create an aspect that describes how the attack causes damage not easily shaken off (such as a Broken Leg or Shattered Reputation). Whoever inflicted the condition is awarded a free invoke on that aspect. Recover from In Peril when you act deliberately to resolve the peril: medical attention for an injury, a bribe to erase the slight on your reputation. This typically entails overcoming an obstacle against an opposition of Great (+4) or higher.

Doomed (lasting): [ 6 ]

You may mark the Doomed condition whenever you are hit by an attack. Negate up to six shifts of damage from the attack and then create an aspect that describes how the attack has rendered you almost helpless, such as Bleeding Out or Ready to Embrace the Dark Side. Whoever inflicted the condition is awarded a free invoke on that aspect. Recover from Doomed when you act deliberately to resolve the doom: emergency medical attention, the intervention of a White Council healer skilled in mental magic, or something similar. This typically entails overcoming an obstacle against an opposition of Great (+4) or higher. Clear out Doomed at the end of the next session after you’ve started recovery. If Doomed is checked and you are taken out (page 189), death is one of the possible outcomes.

Indebted (sticky): [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

This condition has five boxes. Mark one or more boxes when you have accrued a debt to a powerful group, person, or entity. The number of boxes you mark depends on the magnitude of the favor done for you; the GM has final say. Recover boxes of Indebted by doing favors for the lender in return, on their terms. Typically, a fairly safe but challenging task recovers one box, a dangerous task recovers two boxes, and a task that puts you in mortal danger or could otherwise permanently impact you recovers all boxes.
