EnglischEnglish

he second in the series¸ Metahuman Mystics & Supernatural Supers 2 brings you new ways to look at magic and the paranormal in your 2e Superlink game.

Within you will find four new PL-10 character archetypes focused on the various facets of mysticism and/or the supernatural. But these aren't the simple archetypes you've come to expect because each provides information on the concept behind the archetype¸ hints on defining such characters' origins¸ tips on building powers and how to improve the character with experience while staying true to the concept¸ as well as several variations on the basic archetype to allow tinkering.

The included archetypes are:

• The Bound Entity is a spirit or supernatural creature forced to share space within a mortal host. Includes seven variations (alternate purpose¸ amnesiac¸ bound by evil¸ born to the cause¸ mortal punishment¸ prisoner¸ and voluntary repenting) and the character Hangman¸ a corrupt hanging judge sentenced to a living prison to punish the guilty as a chance to be free of Hell.

• The Crusader¸ a person of little magic ability who still decides to fight the supernatural through guile¸ guts and luck. Includes four variations (holy warrior¸ profiteer¸ reluctant hero¸ and secret society) and the character Eva Cross.
• The Magician¸ someone who uses their skills with stage illusion and parlor tricks to fight crime. Includes three variations (gimmickist¸ machinator¸ and master of illusion) and the character Presto.
• The Primal Theurgist¸ a champion and holy man of a people and culture beset upon from all sides by modern civilization. Includes five variations (avenger¸ child of today¸ primal avatar¸ totem avatar¸ and untested neophyte)¸ and the character Tomahawk.
