Liminal Some berks just refuse to accept the inevitable, and rarely think of the consequences. Liminals are the result... bodies split open, reassembled, forced into a semblance of working order, and then forcibly reanimated. Usually because the creator could not accept the loss of a loved one, or sometimes out of mere curiosity. Liminals rarely if ever possess the personality that the mortal had before death. Tell: The Liminal's stitches tighten, drawing the preserved features into terrifyingly stark relief. At higher levels, the digging sutures tear into the flesh, causing the ichor preserving them to flow as if bleeding. Replace the following: Living Construct with Deathless Cadaver Integrated Armor with Deathless Rigor Integrated Weapons with Overcharge Warstrider with Amalgam Deathless Cadaver: A Liminal has the Undead trait and is immune to Fatigue, Poison, and Disease. Because a Liminal has a Pyros Reactor instead of a heart, they cannot benefit from a Bionic Heart or any of the artifact versions. Refitting: As the Promethean ability. Repairing a Liminal requires thread sutures, skin grafts, and body parts of similar size (from a race within 1 point of your own), as well as Medicae + Int tests instead of Crafts + Int tests. Deathless Rigor: Liminals reduce damage they take from every source by an amount equal to their Generation, except for damage inflicted by magical effects. Overcharge: Whenever you suffer damage from a source that deals E-type damage, you gain an additional Reaction that must be used before the end of the next round. Amalgam: You can take racial feats belonging to any race whose body parts are incorporated into your form. This requires an actual body location, such as an arm or your head, not just an eye or a tail. If you lose the body part, any racial feats you have that relied on it are immediately refunded. Liminal Stitching Assets Adamantine These blue-green metal threads blunt magic's effects. Gain Aura equal to your Generation +3, that does not stack with other sources of Aura. You can spend a Pyros to increase your Aura by 3 until the end of the scene. Pattern Silk Silk from the spiders inhabiting the Webway resonates with the machinations of destiny, imbuing the sutures holding your body together with fate itself. Any time you would spend (but not burn) a Hero Point, you can spend 3 Pyros instead. If you or anyone within 5 meters of you spends a Hero Point, you regain 3 Pyros. Shadow Weave Held together by the absence of light, it feels like your stitches aren't even there! Gain a free raise on all Acrobatics, Stealth, and Larceny tests, and you can go to six dots in each of them. If you spend Pyros to gain extra rolled dice on a test with one of these skills, you gain one additional kept die for every two rolled dice. Spellstitched Certain forms of silk - like the ones stitching your body together - cling to magical energies like freshly dried socks. Gain the Minor Magic feat. You can purchase this feat or the Spellbook feat once at each level starting at level 2, as if it appeared in your class progression, but only to learn spells that have been cast in your presence. Wraithbone Staples Your body is held together with pins made of wraithbone, channeling magical energy through you and allowing your deathless body to restore itself. As a free action, you may heal one Hit Point by spending a Pyros. Edited by Eisenritter, Jan 20 2016, 03:30 PM.

Intentional or not, it's about time someone included Necronica in this melting pot of crazy. I approve. |

...Okay, I think I might be overthinking the Overcharge thing. If anyone has any suggestions (note that it replaces the Generation 2 power) for that, or maybe a succinct wording for the cadaver golem's Assimilate Flesh ability, I'm game. |

Whenever you take E damage, get [INSERT HASTE-LIE EFFECT HERE]. Fits with the D&D flesh golems and encourages Frankenstein shenanigans. For haste-like effects, stuff like immediate movement, extra actions (too strong, probably?), speed boosts and generic stuff like "can make an extra attack/attack once more without spending Reaction Action" could work. |

I think "before the end of your next turn" would be better, since otherwise you could take your turn, get hit by a flamethrower weilded by the guy who's last in the turn order, and then have nothing at all to use it with. FAKE EDIT: Oh wait, it's "until the end of the next round". Yeah, that's alright. The thing it's most comparable with is the base Promethean's Recharge, the Generation 4 ability that gives you a Pyros for every hit point lost from E damage. Pyros that can be directly turned into reaction actions, hit points (in the case of Wraithbone Prometheans), quick full actions (in the case of Mithril Prometheans), etc. etc. It's two levels higher, though, so it's a hard thing to compare to beyond "should probably be weaker than this". Personally I'd skip the "only get the benefit once per round" verbiage - it's not that strong an ability without it, and you'd need to take a lot of E damage for it to stack either way since it's only once per instance of damage (as opposed to Recharge's 1/HP). You're paying with hit points. |

I've more or less made a tradition of pitching alternate names to Exalts that come out, so how about Liminal? Just a suggestion. Oh, and free pictures. ![]() ![]()

Got a particular attachment for Liminal? 'Cus it's probably gonna get some awkward looks, given I used the Ex3 castes for the Symbiote rewrite... |

I just think it sounds nice. You have a point with the castes, but I don't think anyone will mind us ripping apart the exalt and putting it back together. |

Hey, what if Liminals could replace their limbs without an operation or medicae? That is, just stick a spare arm where your stump is with Crafts and it will magically work? It wouldn't allow for other racial feats until G5, but it will make you harder to disable in the middle of battle. |
