Isidoros Charms
First Isidoros Excellency Cost: 1m per Type: Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for defender) Duration: Instant Keywords: Combo-OK Minima: Essence 1 Prerequisites: None
The Black Boar That Twists The Skies is relentless in his unstoppable advance. In truth, he is as incapable of stopping as he is incapable of restraint. His titanic arrogance exceeds even his titanic form. Strife and competition are his natural environment. He is endlessly destructive, yet oddly immediate in his ravages, in both time and space. He is not impulsive, but he is predictable. He is utterly reckless and completely self-centered. He hates Fate. He is lawless; more, he is chaos embodied. He delights in disorder for its own sake and needs neither justification nor purpose for his deeds. He is brash and loud, to say nothing of fearless, with one notable exception; Isidoros fears being restrained above anything. You can hear him coming, but by that time it is too late to get out of the way. Many compare him to Adorjan, but they betray their own ignorance. The two could not be more different. While Adorjan is completely free of the constraints of identity while claiming all the benefits of self, and thus moves free of everything, the totality of Isidoros' being is the product of inertia, and he is as free of outside constraint as he is utterly chained to his own identity. He is eternally charging, moving only forwards. A creature of desire, Isidoros lives for sensation, and he lives in the moment. His word is final, and he will not be swayed from his course. He will always fight for freedom to be oneself. His sacred number is six.
Isidoros Mythos Exultant Cost: - Type: Permanent Duration: Permanent Keywords: None Minima: Essence 3 Prerequisites: First Isidoros Excellency
Whenever the Infernal performs a two-die stunt, they instantly heal a level of bashing damage. With a three-die stunt, they can heal either two bashing or one lethal health level of damage. Two two-die stunts do allow for the healing of a single level of lethal damage if one occurs immediately after the other.
World-Trampling Advance Cost: - Type: Permanent Duration: Permanent Keywords: None Minima: Essence 2 Prerequisites: None
Isidoros charges endlessly through the Demon City, and his rampages trample all before him to twisted wreckage. None are so foolish as to stand before the Black Boar That Twists The Skies as he moves. This Charm grants several benefits.
- The Infernal always successfully dashes through unsteady terrain.
- The Infernal's dashes are unaffected by fatigue or wound penalties.
- Whenever the Infernal collides with something, it takes dice of bashing damage equal to the Infernal's (Strength+(Essence x number of times the Infernal has purchased this Charm)+the Infernal's size category (Medium being 1, Large being 2, and so on - essentially, every size-increasing effect the Infernal is under increases this number by 1). Against inanimate objects, this damage pool increases by (distance in yards the Infernal had moved previously in that action).
- Mortal extras are now valid targets for Charms that affect only inanimate objects, or affect inanimate objects differently.
This Charm may be purchased a maximum number of times equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score.
Snake-Neck Heel Strike Cost: 3m Type: Reflexive (Step 9) Duration: Instant Keywords: Combo-OK, Counterattack Minima: Essence 2 Prerequisites: World-Trampling Advance
From time to time, the great serpents Kidunga and Chikalla, lesser souls of Isidoros, will rise from the dust of Malfeas to strike at Isidoros' heels, but he is their master and smites them dead each time. In a similar manner the Infernal reacts at the speed of rage to an attack against them. The Infernal gains a counterattack at full dice pool against an unexpected attack against them.
Stone-Churning Charge Cost: 4m Type: Reflexive Duration: Indefinite Keywords: Combo-OK, Inertia, Obvious Minima: Essence 2 Prerequisites: Snake-Neck Heel Strike
Isidoros' passing is turbulent and calamitous. In his wake, space and time themselves are shredded, just as the stone of the Demon City. This Charm may be activated when the Infernal dashes. Debris are thrown up from the surface underfoot out a number of yards equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score, as an environmental hazard with Damage (number of times Infernal has taken World-Trampling Advance)B, Trauma (Essence). At first, the debris plume only causes damage on hard earth. At Essence 3+, the Infernal can cause damage when dashing across such surfaces as water, sand, or thatched roofs. At Essence 4+, the Infernal can cause shockwaves in the very warp and weft of Creation itself even when charging across thin air. A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 4 makes the damage of the environmental effect lethal, as stone shatters into razor shards, water boils into steam, and the air itself bursts into black flame under the Infernal's hooves.
Sky-Twisting Hoof Cost: 5m, 1wp Type: Simple Duration: Instant Keywords: Blasphemy, Combo-OK, Obvious, Sorcery Minima: Essence 4 Prerequisites: Stone-Churning Charge
Isidoros was against the incorporation of Fate into Creation's design from the start, favoring a more...free-form paradigm. The Black Boar, as the ultimate incarnation of anarchy, disrupts causality and reason with his passing. In a like fashion, the Infernal can undo the meddlings of the Maidens. The Infernal makes a kick attack against an enemy. If the attack hits, it damages destinies affecting the target in addition to physically damaging the target. For targets with rankings in the Destiny Background, roll the Infernal's permanent Essence score at a difficulty of the target's score in that Background. The target's Destiny rating decreases by the number of threshold successes on the roll. If the target is currently under the effects of an ascending, descending, or resplendent destiny, then the Duration of that effect decreases by the number of levels of damage inflicted. If the Duration is reduced to 0, then the difficulty to formulate a new destiny for attachment to the target is increased by 1 for a year and a day.
Black Boar Shintai Cost: 12m, 1wp Type: Simple (Speed 1, DV -0) Duration: Scene Keywords: Obvious, Shaping, Sorcery Minima: Essence 4 Prerequisites: Sky-Twisting Hoof
The Black Boar That Twists the Skies condescends to allow his servants to assume for a time some of his terrible glory. The Infernal's form explodes into a titanic black boar, like a distant echo of Isidoros himself. Their Strength and Stamina scores increase by 2 each, which does not count as a dice bonus from Charms and does increase the maximum pool size. The character gains the Tusks, Armored Hide and Great Hooves mutations. All Isidoros Charms with World-Trampling Advance as a prerequisite cost half motes while this Charm is in effect, and for the purposes of said Charm, the Infernal's damage pools increase by 1. The character cannot read or write.
