[QUOTE="MinscFan, post: 965189, member: 3354"] Thanks. Yeah, I'm trying to add a bit of fun, unpredictablility and some downright dangerous results that balance a class's abilities. I suspect that the results table will grow over time and get refined as we playtest it. I've added some flavor text that should help put the class in context... [B]Alien Abductee[/B] In the modern world, many terrifying myths from man’s past have dissolved under the scrutiny of science and mankind’s relentless technological progress. However, a new phenomenon has grown as a result of mankind’s endless technological stampede; to replace stories of dragons, the 20th century has produced the mystery of UFOs and of alien visitation to the earth. Since the public frenzy over the well-known Roswell incident in 1947, humanity has become fascinated with the prospect of aliens in saucers, darting in and out of our peripheral vision and across the night skies. Rumors abound of government UFO cover-ups and dark conspiracy theories. The Abductee does not see these things as impossible, nor does he see them as a new mythology. For the Abductee, the presence of UFO’s and the occurrence of alien abductions are a very real and very painful reality. The Abductee has no real proof with which to convince those around him that he has been taken by alien beings and nothing to show for the horrible experiments he is sure were performed on him. Despite the presence of wounds, physical abnormalities or telekinetic abilities, the Abductee typically can’t bear the scrutiny and public humiliation of trying to prove his plight. He instead goes about his life, trying to piece together what happened to him and trying to make sense of his newfound “gifts”. * * * -- M [/QUOTE]
