Guyon Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I am working on a story where I need a mid to lower leveled nephilim to appear as a human. I am not sure the doppelganger would be a fit to my story, so is there any other ideas? Perhaps have a high power nephilim use a spell. Pandora? If Pandora could cast a long term shape change spell that would work. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Woes have a tendency to appear as human from time to time (Pandora, Candy, Kade, Tannen, etc.), and even Nephilim have a few spells to that effect (such as what Lilith and Mr. Graves used to appear human).

Guyon Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks Mason! But some of your character suggestions are a little to high powered for my story. Or are you saying they have a spell than can be cast on someone else for a longer period? And I am trying to keep this as rule based as possible. Here is what I am doing I need a lower level Nephilim to be in charge of a bar as a cover.. He can have a long term spell or a higher Nephilim could cast it on him. As I think about it a spell would be better but I would accept a shape changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since most of the Neverborn stuff is in a book that hasn't been written yet. If the story requires a Neverborn to be in disguise and in charge of a bar, then just have a Neverborn be in disguise and in charge of a bar. The exact mechanics probably aren't going to be super important to the story, are they? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky_squirrel Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 As an aside: when you give stats to something, you make it killable.. More on point: there's a Neverborn subtype Mimic that in the Malifaux game itself run the range of power, from peon/minion all the way through master, you can use that as a guide to develop a cover identity for the Neverborn Fatemaster Character that's based off of an appropriate non-mimic bestiary entry (in power and abilities, think fledgling Dopplegangers that haven't really mastered their fluidity and thus either get stuck in a form or have a childlike obsession with appearing a specific way). There would be some key differences (i.e. a mimic guild guard doesn't have the same unit tactics, discipline, motives, and conditioning as a human guild guard; but the career guard won't have an innate sense of when they're talking to a disguised Neverborn and is more likely to notice human group behavior changes).

Guyon Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thank you Mason, nice to see Wyrd showing a helping hand. Your assistants is greatly appreciated. Oh and I can't wait to buy the Neverborn book when it is done. VERY excited for that one. @spooky_squirrel I was looking into mimics but there is very little to read baout them, but fund a few helpful posts. Both good suggestins and am ready to finish my story. Thanks All 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
