Hermit Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey Oddly enough, Mole, one of my superheroes, got a gift in an adventure (and a dandy one it was too) from a lady of Faerie. The gift was one of "true sight" of sorts 5 Gift of the Fairy I: +10 PER with Normal Sight (10 Active Points); Only to see through illusions, images, disguises (-1) 0 6 Gift of the Fariy II: Mental Defense (15 points total) (13 Active Points); Only Works Against Mental Illusion/Illusion SFX (-1) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey As I recall, fey magic was mostly about deception and illusion. So anything along those lines is fair game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuestionMan Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey Change Environment Images Variable Power Pool (Faerie Magics) The best resources I have found are HERO System Bestiary, Tuala Morn, GURPS Faerie, GURPS Castle Frankenstein, and soon Urban Fantasy Hero. Weaknesses like Iron, True Faith, etc... are always good for Limitations or Disadvantages.

Dronf Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey I'm looking for ideas for powers/spells for a character who is half fey/half human Whose version/vision of the fey? The old Celtic? The Anglo-Saxon? Geoffrey of Monmouth and the other medieval "Arthurian Cycle" writers? Victorian "serious" fey? Victorian "flower fairy" fey? Post Victorian writers? And if the last, de Lint style, Lackey style, or Pratchett style? (if anyone thinks Pratchett writes only comic stuff, go read Lord and Ladies.) Seriously, how poweful are the "fey" you mean, and how vicious/non-human? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey Generally some kind of illusion stuff. But, there are quite a variety of fey, so, it could depend on the species (for lack of a better term) of fey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmOz Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey shouldn't this thread be in the fantasy hero forum? No, it should be in Champions. The character in question is a super-hero with a magical origin, not a fantacy character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Samson Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey I'm looking for ideas for powers/spells for a character who is half fey/half human Ideas I already have A Multiform into some common animals (Maybe with combat abilities, but probably not) A shapeshifting into other humans Illuison casting Telekinesis (Maybe, just so magical) invisibility? any other ideas? I like all the above (especially Multiform into animals, Images, and Invisibility). Here is a few I think would go well with them: Pixie Form: Winged Flight plus Shrinking Plant Control: Entangle, Focus "Flora of Opportunity" Animal Control: Summon, Focus "Fauna of Opportunity" Pixie Dust: Mind Control (Sleep, Charm, Dance, ect.)

Shadowsoul Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey Depends on whether the character in question is a superhero or not I suppose. Transform is a fairly standard Fey ability. Other possibilities are. Curse. (Long term Drain). Summon. (Lesser Fey such as Red Caps and Barghest). Spell of Beauty. (Increased Comeliness and Presence). Charm. (Mind Control). Enchant. (Mental Entangle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asperion Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey The Fey Magic (spelled Majic) is truly the powers of Earth and Elementalism. This is where the the character should be working on and advancing. Since most Celtic Fey (seely) were simply and literally bonded to the earth they would have extreme power, but also disads that represent their taking damage by anything that will damage the Earth in anyway. I would make: EC (Elementalism) - Bonded - Entangle - No See Me - Invisibility - Cannot Catch Me - DCV Levels; Costs END There would be other abilities that would work in this EC. Remember that the seely were more of the sneaky type that did not get into direct combat but would instead trick others into doing the work for them.

AmadanNaBriona Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey If you can get past the porn-tastic nature of the series and the Mary Sue main character, the Laurel K Hamilton Merrideth Gentry series does a pretty good champions level interpretation of Faerie magic.

Utech Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: Magic of the Fey You might want to have a look Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream for what Puck and the other fairies can do. A couple of the things I remember right off the bat: Invisibility (Oberon even says, "I am invisible") Shapeshifting (Puck says that he often takes the form of various animals) Mimicry or Images (Puck uses different voices to confuse, frighten or surprise people) Darkness (Puck creates a mist) Mind Control (Oberon instructs Puck to use the juice of a certain flower as a love potion) Running (Puck runs a tremendous distance in hardly any time at all to fetch the flower) Transform (Bottom's head is transformed into that of an ass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
