Legacy Power: "Merv" Griffin

yes, an actual Griffin

A 1 Gift Companion Creature Power used by Chuck Biscuits, created by BOMBSHELL2150.

Description

This enormous monster is a mythological chimera of an Eagle and a Lion. It's mane has been Elmers-glued into a mohawk which Chuck has dyed purple. Merv seems strangely ok with this.

System

To create your companion, use a similar procedure to creating a new Character. Instead of 150 Experience, you may spend no more than 64. You may not take Assets or Liabilities. Companion creatures have one Limit. You may spend any experience you earn on your companion's stats, if desired.

Regardless of your chosen Attributes and Abilities, the Actions available to any creature depend on the creature itself. For example, an elephant will not be able to make much use of the Stealth Ability.

Companion creatures cannot use tools or human technology.

Companions are capable of general communication skills and know one language. Your companion is controlled by you, though if you are separated, the GM may take some liberties to preserve drama and suspense.

Any roll to locate your companion (or vice-versa) is rolled at -2 Difficulty.


Enhancements

  • Resilient (Your companion has an extra Body level.)
  • Improved (Your companion creature receives a one-time infusion of 18 Exp.)
  • Savage Attack (Your companion creature has a type of Attack which is particularly brutal. They gain +3 dice to this Attack roll. This attack must be mundane and make sense for the type of companion.)
    • Attack - Beak and Claws

  • Flight (Your companion may fly at the speed of a bird.)

Drawbacks

  • Unique Connection (Your companion cannot communicate with or understand anyone other than you.)
  • Growl (Your companion cannot speak or communicate to yourself or others. However, it still understands a single language.)
  • Rampage (When engaged in combat, your companion must roll Mind to distinguish between friend and foe.)
