[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1136839, member: 1125"] I once used a crossbreeder Protagonist named Doctor Yakub - he used a huge 'Blood Cauldron' to both rejuvenate his own body (he was Human and over 300 yrs old) and to combine the dead bits of various animals to create hybrids. The Cauldron was 'powered' by the blood of various victims which Dr Yakub had abducted and drained over the years, then using their bodies as raw material for his experiments Anyway Dr Yakub was part of a secret Cabal that ruled the city, and his various failed experiments lived in the swamp where the cities sewerage flowed. The PCs got involved when one of the Cabal members decided to expose Dr Yakub and his reign of terror. Of course a set of hybrids was sent to kill him and thus the PCs got involved. The finale involved the cauldro spilling out over the ground and the various bits of body, wood and other stuff combining to form a huge abberation with Dr Yakubs mind! Okay I like the idea of the campaign you are imagining and think it would work well. Personally I'd make the PCs part of a Religious sect whose mission is to ensure that the Hybrids are exterminated and that any knowledge of the Bad Guys work is eliminated for fear that it might happen again. The theme of the sum are greater than its parts could involve a race between the PCs and the bad guys to find the peices of the Combo-Machine and or the lost books of [i]Bad Guy X[/i] or ... [/QUOTE]
