Ok, here I'll post each species that need updating... starting with the most popular... and we can discuss ways to amplify them :thumbs:
 
Dark Faeries

Dark Faerie:

Immortal,cunning, manipulative and hauntingly beautiful; these women posses the ability to harness ancient magick and release with deadly force against their enemies. Capable of flight and moving at high speeds as well as altering their physical size , they are often hard to visually behold until its too late. They usually posses a dark aura/glow around their physical form that can be used to influence emotions of others around them.


Level 1: Levitation (becomes flying at Lvl 3) empathic manipulation of other's emotions, capable of remaining their normal size OR shrinking down to "barbie doll" size for various purposes.

Level 2: Eldritch Bolts of concussive force, Super Speed

Level 3: Phasing / Superficial Regeneration (healing of minor cuts, burises, and minor injuries)

Level 4: Glamoring (humanoid forms only)

Level 5: Faerie Dust (makes oponett unconscious) / Special Teleportation (summoning aof small objects)

Level 6: Power Absorbition / Life Force Draining
 
Sirens

Sirens:
A female demon of immortal beauty that preys on married men and innocents. She uses her beauty and cunning allure to hold men in her thrall....but is also capable of offensive combat.

Level 2:Telekinetic Ability

Level 3:Glamoring

Level 4:Heat Touch

Level 5: Paralyizing Glare

okay.......Ikaris.....youve always been good at taking an idea and maximizing it. could you look through each of these tables listed so far and see where they could be improved? id like to keep the basic presentation the same.....but some of the powers might need changing.

ANYONE is welcomed to make suggestions .....but a i was the one who made the initial tables (with the help of Dan) i was thinking that in order to get new ideas....id let you all throw some out there. :)
 
I personally think the Siren should get more abilities, as in things that make them a little more physical or that sort of sway away from them just being completely seductive sexual beings, Because I mean I look at the Siren from Charmed and she kicked ass, and she held Phoebe Halliwell and COLE in her thrall, and her I just feel like the power table was a little rushed, and that isn't to be rude, it is just to say maybe something like Illusion Casting or something like that, to create a person's like perfect dream situation or something to the effects of Reality Warping.

Also for the Siren, I see the power that the Charmed Siren had, but I was always confused, is the Kiss of Death patterned after the Siren's kiss from Charmed how she would kiss them and their lips would smoke, etc?

I also see some type of control over fire with Sirens, and perhaps just maybe even fire balls, or to start fires with their mind..

They can be REALLY offensive :)
 
For the Dark Faeries, I tend to think of Una from the movie Legend. She was willful, tempramental and secretive. Looking at it from that standpoint, I think that I would perhaps changethe barbie doll size to firefly size, it would make them a lot harder to hit in battle. Delete the special teleportation. Isn't conjuring a basic power for MoE? It becomes redundant. I would also change Faerie Dust to Elf Bolts and combine it with the level 6 life absorption(someone elf shot dies, at least in the tales I have read), leavethe power at level 6 also. Phasing I would change to something along the lines of dimensional shift. The realms of the Fae are in a slightly different reality. Combining empathic manipulation with the glamouring would make it a more effective power as the Dark Faerie would shift to the form that would be the most effective at manipulation and get the feelings that would make it more effective.
My Idea for a Power Table would look something like this.

Level One:Gliding(drop levitation as they just kinda float a foot or so above the ground), empathic glamouring, size change(human normal or firefly size)

Level Two: Eldritch Bolts of Concussive Force, Superspeed

Level Three: True Flight, Minor Healing,

Level Four: Curse(able to apply a bad luck curse on an opponent that lasts for 3-5 posts, Faerie would haveto identify the area she wanted to curse i.e. physical, magical, interpersonal)

Level Five: Command (The faerie can utter a command to an opponent that must be obeyed, simply commands, nothing too extravagent. Drop your weapons, Attack your allies. Leave this battle...)

Level Six: Elf Bolts(Magical stones that can incapacitate an opponent or kill them, the Faerie would have to state her intention as she casts the stone.

That is that way I would set them up. It makes the faeries a little more powerful andwould make them excellent spies and assassins.
 
On to the Sirens. To me, the name alone bring images of the sea.
I would grant them an immunity or affinity to water. I know the Charmed version dealt with fire, but I would also include the water. Melodic hypnosis is great at the lower level affecting only men but at levels five and six I would make it difficult for women to resist as well. I would also either give them a phasing power making them haunting but unable to be touched or give them a monsterous form as well as the beautiful one. Make it so that once she has the person in her thrall, she is horrible and yet her victims dont care. I just saw Meg's post and ignore the water, making them fire based would work just as easily and fire is associated with passion anyways.

Power Table for Sirens:

Level One:Melodic Hynosis(men only), firebolts

Level Two: Telekinetic ability, heightened sex appeal

Level Three:phasing or Monster Form, Glamouring

Level Four: Command of Fire

Level Five: Melodic Hynosis (men and women), Paralyzing Glare

Level Six: Kiss of Death
 
for the Dark faeries...the revisions are perfect. but id like to keep the option for the faerie to shrink down anywhere between barbie doll size to firefly size.

but the rest of the revisions are perfect. when i first made this table.....i was basing it on a character i saw in the Phantasy Star rpg video game i used to play.


for the Siren, when i made the original table i was only thinking of the Charmed version. DAN revised the table at a later date.....and most people seemed happy with it...but after you mentioned the mythological aspect of sirens......i realize there is so much potential in that. i like what youve got here.....but how can we incorporate the affinity/immunity to water or water based attacks. should it be listed in their general description as part of their nature? for having more fire based ability.....that is easily remedied at the lower level if a person picks a fire tailsman and at MoE level five....a person gains total telekinetic control over a single element.....but i think the kiss of death is still something the siren table should keep as well.


the next tables to be revised are Mutants, Undead OR if any of you feel there is one that could use some sprucing up...bring that table here to this thread ;)


im going to apply the dark faerie power table right now lol.
 
One way to work things to change the affinity to water would be to change the firebolt power to levin bolts. For any who aren't familiar, levin bolts are basically that magical zap beam thing you see in comics. Or even more simple make it a choice of fire or water to have the affinity for during character creation.

Power Table for Water Focus Sirens:

Level One:Melodic Hynosis(men only), levin bolts

Level Two: Telekinetic ability, immunity to lower level water attacks, heightened sex appeal.

Level Three: Mermaid form(Including the ability to breathe underwater), Glamouring

Level Four: Command of Storms

Level Five: Melodic Hynosis (men and women), Paralyzing Glare

Level Six: Kiss of Death

This table would work for the Water Sirens. There is no real reason that there couldn't be two types of Sirens, each with their own specialties. The member would simply choose the type they wanted and follow the approriate table.
