THE BEAST "My Eidolon helps me pursue my animal urges by [blank]." You're an... animal? Well technically we're all animals I guess. But you're, y'know, not a human. Can animals even have Eidolons? I mean, you have one, so... yeah, I guess they can. Awakening to your Eidolon has vastly expanded your mental faculties, but you're still fundamentally a creature driven by instinct. Maybe we all are, but you're more honest about it. Spread your wings, bare your teeth, and do what comes natural. Range: 20 Feet 3 POW 2 ELE 1 GEN 1 GLAM 2 BIZ When you play your resonant card, apply the following Forecast: "You silence your conscious thoughts and let instinct guide you to victory."
JIMMY BADGUY EIDOLON: MONSTER MASH “My Eidolon warps reality by making it more like an old monster movie.” CRASH 0: Jimmy attacks the party with a switchblade; Jimmy must be disarmed. CRASH 1: Jimmy summons MONSTER MASH, a giant mummy, and attacks the party with his Eidolon’s brute force; MONSTER MASH must be physically subdued. CRASH 2: MONSTER MASH activates its ability, making the world black-and-white and silent, and unleashes powerful mummy magic; MONSTER MASH must either be escaped or subdued, using the logic of a monster movie, while Jimmy tries to interfere. CRASH 3: Jimmy digs deep, unlocking a new form for MONSTER MASH: instead of just a mummy, it is now an entire gang of classic movie monsters: a vampire, a wolfman, and a swamp monster, and they all attack the party together; either the monsters or Jimmy himself must be defeated once and for all. CRASH 4: Defeated.
THE CONDUCTOR “My Eidolon warps reality around me by ________________.” You’re the life of the party. You instantly change the energy of any room you walk into, and the world seems to just... play by different rules when it comes to you. And that’s before we talk about your Eidolon, which literally warps reality around you. You’re so damn charming that sometimes it can be a little hard for you to turn it off. Still, anyone looking to have a good time should stick close to you. Plug in, switch on, and let the power flow. At creation, answer the following question: Why does everyone you meet like you so much? Range: 15 Feet 1 POW 1 ELE 2 GEN 3 GLAM 2 BIZ When you play your resonant card, apply the following Forecast: “You raise your baton to strike up the band.” Issue one command: everything currently in your zone of influence must follow it, until the assigned task is complete or the scene ends. When you play your dissonant card, apply the following Forecast: “Life is a stage, and you’ve forgotten all your lines.” For as long as your dissonant card is in the discard pile, any time you Dazzle someone, do not draw; instead, the GM will act as though you played The Moon.
15. The Devil Polarity: Negative Forecast: You get what you want at a price you can’t afford. The Devil represents temptation and the unbound id. Its Forecast is a bit of an odd duck among the negative Forecasts, because it explicitly states that the player gets what they want. However, their success comes coupled with a negative consequence, which in most cases should hurt more than the success helped. When possible, the “price” paid should be directly tied to the player’s action, as an unintended consequence of their success. It may be a price extracted from the player themselves, or from someone they care about.
