Ninja-Bear Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: Gremlin-like Mutant In Classic Enemies, the was a villianess who was called Gremlin, though she had more dragon-like powers. Example, scaley skin, wings, claws, and I think some sort of luck power. I'm sure some of the bestiary books would have a gremlin write up.

Ice9 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: Gremlin-like Mutant The exact capabilities of Gremlins seem to vary between depictions. One thing they often have in common is the ability to disrupt technology, causing devices to malfunction or break. For this, I would go with a small set of abilities: Murphy's Law - Multipower, X points, all Slots Gestures, Limited Range 1) Sudden Glitch - Dispel (Devices) Xd6, Expanded Effect (Any Technological Power, One at a Time) 2) Buried Flaw - Dispel (Devices) Xd6, Expanded Effect (Any Technological Power, One at a Time), Trigger (variable, full-phase to set, auto-triggers; +1/2) 3) Progressive Corruption - Severe Transform (Device to Junk; Healed by Repair) Xd6, Partial Transform, Limited Target Group (Technological Devices) Adjust the total points to fit the level of power you want. One thing to note is that if your points in Dispel are low - compared to the overall campaign - then it probably will fail to work, and Drain would be a preferable option.

phoenix240 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: Gremlin-like Mutant On the defensive side he might have extra defenses against technological based attacks with sfx that just fail or don't function as well when targeted on the character.

Tasha Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Re: Gremlin-like Mutant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlin Wikipedia is always a great place to start when you are researching something. Also remember that Gremlins weren't considered to be malicious only mischievous. So they might make something go wrong with your plane it wasn't ever anything that would get someone killed. So you could look at them like a technological Brownie or Gnome. Hard workers that will help you keep your mechanical stuff working, but you have to put up with practical jokes or if you are lazy out and out sabotage.
