WalkingWarMachines

This page is intended to allow for a convenient place to design various awful things that Abyssal necromancers can create and bring to unholy life for participation in your game!

Format

Since there aren't a lot of guidelines here, I'll outline the format that I intend to follow for specific war machines (which should each be on their own subpage off this page). Variant necro-stuff based off Labryinth or Void Circle versions of Walking War Machine should also be placed on this page (though such is, of course, non-canon). In fact, basically any Abyssal-created monstrosity should be listed here.

I recommend that any exotic components that might be required be detailed in the description, including "interesting" corpses and underworld/labryinth type things. List the number of successes needed on the Intelligence + Craft (Necrosurgery) roll, and possibly the difficulty as well. For ease of reference, include a note on the mote cost of the Walking War Machine (WWM) (number of successes x 5 motes, according to the text), if your thing is a Walking War Machine at all.

Finally, write up the statistics for the thing itself and possibly any special abilities or simple powers it has.

Comments

It freaking rocks that so many people took to the WWM's!  :D I particularly like the Bonespike, and the Shambling Horror, but they're all very cool. I need to post my Tower of Flesh and Pincushion at some point, so other people can use 'em.

Reorg: I'm blatantly putting all necromancy-created horrors on this page, even if not specifically war machines, etc.
